Inflammation and new bone formation are the hallmarks of the immunopathology observed in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and determine disease activity, function and longterm outcome. The molecular mechanism of the fluctuating inflammation and its interaction with new bone formation are only poorly understood. In the current project we will apply recent evidence about such an interaction obtained in animal models on the molecular level to histological and immunhistological bone material obtained from AS patients, supplemented by functional in vitro studies. The following question will be addressed: (i) the role of T effector and T regulatory cells in inflammation with special focus on TH17 cells; (ii) interaction between cells and molecules of inflammation and of new bone formation; (iii) investigation of cells/molecules relevant for new bone formation in AS. The results obtained here should enable us to develop better and/or refined current therapies for inhibition of inflammation and osteoproliferaion in AS.

炎症和新骨形成是强直性脊柱炎（AS）中观察到的免疫病理学的标志，并决定疾病活动、功能和长期结局。波动性炎症的分子机制及其与新骨形成的相互作用知之甚少。在目前的项目中，我们将应用最新的证据，这种相互作用在动物模型中获得的分子水平上的组织学和免疫组织学骨材料从AS患者，补充功能的体外研究。将解决以下问题：（i）T效应细胞和T调节细胞在炎症中的作用，特别关注TH 17细胞;（ii）炎症和新骨形成的细胞和分子之间的相互作用;（iii）AS中与新骨形成相关的细胞/分子的研究。本研究的结果将使我们能够开发出更好和/或更精确的治疗方法来抑制AS的炎症和骨增殖。
