Objective. To clarify the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by comparing protein expression in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from patients with RA with that in FLS from normal subjects, using proteomics analysis.Methods. Proteins extracted from primary cultures of FLS obtained from 50 patients with RA and 10 normal subjects were analyzed by automated 2-dimensional nano-electrospray ionization liquid chromatography tandem mass spectometry. Differentially expressed proteins were screened by 2-sample t-test (P < 0.05) and fold change (> 1.5), based on the bioinformatics analysis. The expression of vasculature development-related proteins (Thy-1, connective tissue growth factor [CTGF], and thrombospondin 1 [TSP-1]) and redox-related proteins (superoxide dismutase 2 [SOD2]) in synovial tissue was confirmed by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. The effect of Thy-1 and CTGF knockdown on Thy-1, CTGF, TSP-1, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was analyzed by RNA interference experiments.Results. According to the criteria of having > 1 unique peptide per protein present and a false discovery rate of
