Objective-To determine the localisation and level of expression of human type IIa secretory phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)) in the synovium of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and non-arthritic (NA) patients and to examine the relation between sPLA(2) and histological features of inflammation.Methods-Immunoperoxidase staining using the anti-sPLA(2) monoclonal antibody 9C1 was performed on frozen sections of knee synovium of 10 RA, 10 OA, and 10 NA patients. sPLA(2) positive cells were scored on a scale of 0-3 in 10 fields of a representative tissue section from each case. Double labelling imunofluorescence confocal microscopy with antibodies to CD14 or CD45 and 9C1 was used to determine cell type specificity. Inflammation was assessed by semiquantitative scoring of lining layer thickness and mononuclear cell infiltrates (MC) and a cumulative inflammation score, generated by summing the two parameters. Scores in each group were compared using nonparametric statistical analysis. Results-sPLA(2) was localised to endothelium (EC), vascular smooth muscle (VSM), and mast cells (M) in all tissue sections. In RA and OA sections, staining was seen in both macrophage-like and fibroblast-like cells in the synovial lining layer (LL) and subsynovial lining layer (SLL). Perineural cells stained positively. Subintimal lymphoid aggregates (LA) were negative in all sections. The RA group showed significantly greater staining in extravascular synovial tissue (median 3.6, range 1.5-6.0) than the OA (median 1.95, range 0-5.3) or NA (median 0, range 0-5.9) groups (p
