Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have produced hybrid liposomes(HL)which can be prepared by sonication of a mixture of vesicular and micellar molecules in a buffer solution. We investigated the anti- rheumatoid arthritis (RA) effects of HL and following results are obtained.(A)The remarkable inhibitory effects of HL on the growth of human RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (HFLS-RA) and human synovial sarcoma (SW982)cells were attained in vitro.(B) HL induced apoptotic death of HFLS-RA and SW982 cells through the activation of caspase-3, -8 and -9. (C) Therapeutic effects of HL with downregulation of inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α、IL-6 and IL-1β)for the mouse model with RA arthritis were obtained in vivo. These findings suggest that HL showed inhibitory effects on the growth of HFLS-RA and SW982 cells in vitro along with apoptosis and therapeutic effects for mouse models of RA in vivo.
