Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation. In this disease the membrane (synovium) that lines the joint proliferates into a huge mass that invades and destroys the connective tissues, i.e. articular cartilage, tendon and bone (1). It is suggested that this is a tumor like process which is induced by the combined action of autoantigen stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes, T and B cells, and monocytes/macrophages (1, 2, 3). The proliferating tissue is compromised primarily of the fibroblast-like synovial cells that line the joint and that are derived from mesenchymal stem cells (1). The neutral proteinase collagenase is a principle gene product of the synovial fibroblasts and is responsible for the extensive amount of connective tissue destruction seen in rheumatoid disease (1, 4-7).
