Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an acute-phase reactant that is involved in amplification of the inflammatory response and innate immunity. In the present study, we evaluated the relationship between PTX3 and serum amyloid A (SAA), another acute-phase reactant, in rheumatoid synoviocytes.PTX3 mRNA expression was examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and PTX3 protein was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.SAA induced PTX3 mRNA and PTX3 protein expression in rheumatoid synoviocytes. SAA-induced PTX3 expression was attenuated when rheumatoid synoviocytes were nucleofected with N-formyl peptide receptor ligand-1 (FPRL-1)-specific siRNA, suggesting the involvement of FPRL-1. Furthermore, SAA-induced PTX3 expression was inhibited by NF-kappa B or mitogen-activated protein kinase-specific inhibitors. Neither soluble TNF receptor (etanercept) nor recombinant IL-1 receptor antagonist affected PTX3 production by SAA-stimulated synoviocytes, suggesting that SAA directly induces PTX3.Our data suggest that SAA plays a role in the proinflammatory and immune responses in rheumatoid synovium by inducing PTX3. We provide the first evidence that the acute-phase reactant SAA, which is produced systemically by hepatocytes, perpetuates the rheumatoid inflammatory processes by inducing another proinflammatory molecule, PTX3, locally in rheumatoid synovial tissues.
