Objectives: In synovial tissues of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), strong expression of laminins and integrins co-localises with increased expression of inflammatory cytokines. Synovial fibroblasts (SF) contribute to the pathogenesis of RA through increased expression of cytokines and chemoattractant factors, one of which is interleukin-16 (IL16). A study was undertaken to investigate the regulatory pathways of IL16 in SF from patients with RA (RA-SF) and osteoarthritis (OA-SF).Methods: SF were seeded in laminin-coated flasks and activated by the addition of cytokines. The expression of IL16 was investigated by quantitative RT-PCR, immunoblotting and ELISA; its biological activity was determined by a cell migration assay. Cell-matrix interactions were investigated by cell binding and attachment assays. Relevant intracellular signalling pathways were studied by immunoblotting and with pharmacological blocking reagents.Results: Stimulation of SF with transforming growth factor beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)) and growth on laminin-111 (LM-111) significantly increased the expression of IL16. Binding to LM-111 induced significantly more IL16 mRNA in RA-SF than in OA-SF (p
