Our pre-clinical studies have demonstrated a pathogenic role for TNF alpha in RA. Firstly, TNF alpha and its receptors are upregulated and co-expressed in the synovium and cartilage-pannus junction of RA joints. Secondly, mononuclear cells from RA joints maintained in culture produce many cytokines with pro-inflammatory activity, including TNF alpha. Neutralizing TNF alpha antibodies in vitro reduces the production of these pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1, IL-8, and GM-CSF. Thirdly...
