| Research Abstract |
It is suggested that S1P is an important inflammatory mediator in the pathogenesis of arthiritis, but the role of S1P3 in it is poorly understood. Thus, we examined the role of S1P3 receptor signaling in the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) in murine.
S1P3-/- mice showed signiflcantIy lower arthritis severity score compared with wild type(WT) mice (P < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). Histopathological evaluation of paws obtained on the 42nd day showed marked reductions in synovial inflammation and bone erosion parameters in S1P3-/- mice compared with WT mice (P < 0.05). Serum anti-type II collagen antibodies were not satatistically different between WT and S1P3-/- mice. These results indicate that S1P3 receptor signaling plays an important role in the development of murine collagen-induced arthritis model. Also it is suggested that S1P-S1P3 signaling is a new therapeautic target for rheumatoid arthritis.
