Research Abstract

Administration of exogenous IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is effective in reducing the inflammatory reactions mediated by IL-1. In the present study, we transfected with a plasmid containing IL-1ra gene into synovial cells by the sonoporation method, and investigated the effect of IL-1ra gene transfection on inflammatory reactions induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro. IL-1ra- transfected synovial cells produced the extracellular IL-lra, and its level increased remarkably when the cells were cultured with LPS for 48 h. Interestingly, treatment of LPS enhanced the release of IL-1β in the culture supernatant of IL-1ra-transfected cells, however, a significant decrease of PGE2 release was observed when the cells were cultured with LPS for 60 h. These results indicate that IL-1ra could play a valuable regulatory role in inflammatory reactions of synovial cells, suggesting that the administration of IL-1ra gene with sonoporation is a useful method for the control of inflammation in arthritis.
