Abstract

Objective: Early treatment-naïve rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has defective regulatory T (Treg) cells and increased inflammation response. In this study, we aim to illustrate the regulation of Treg cells in pathogenesis of early rheumatoid arthritis by arsenic trioxide (As2O3). Methods: We studied the effects of As2O3 on gene expression in early treatment-naïve RA Treg cells with single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). Treg cells were sorted from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and purified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and cultured with or without As2O3 (at 0.1 µM) for 24 h. Total RNA was isolated and sequenced, and functional analysis was performed against the Gene Ontology (GO) database. Results for selected genes were confirmed with RT-qPCR. Results: As2O3 exerts no significant effect on CD4+ T-cell apoptosis under physical condition, and selectively modulate CD4+ T cells toward Treg cells not Th17 cells under special polarizing stimulators. As2O3 increased the expression of 200 and reduced that of 272 genes with fold change (FC) 2.0 or greater. Several genes associated with inflammation, Treg-cell activation and differentiation as well as glucose and amino acids metabolism were among the most strongly affe...Continue Reading

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
