Objective

To investigate the effects of the combination of all-trans retinoic acidand tofacitinib on human fibroblast-like synoviocytes from rheumatoid arthritis and explorethe mechanisms of autophagy and apoptosis in the NF-κB signalingpathway.

Methods

Cells were adaptively cultured and stimulated with TNF-α and IL-1β.Subsequently, HFLS-RA cells were intervened with ATRA, tofacitinib, and their combination.Cell proliferation rate, migration ability, inflammatory cytokine concentrations, and apoptosis levels were detected. Different concentrations of ATRA, autophagy inhibitor (3-MA), andtheir combination were also used to intervene, and relevant protein expressions were detected by Western Blotting.

Results

The combined use of ATRA and tofacitinib inhibited the proliferation and migration of HFLS-RA cells, upregulated IL-6 and IL-10 levels, downregulated IL-17 and VEGF levels, and promoted early apoptosis. Different concentrations ofATRA downregulated Bcl-2, upregulated IκBα, and affected the expression of XIAP, P65, and IKKα/β. The combination of autophagy inhibitor 3-MA and ATRA further upregulated IκBα, downregulated Bcl-2, IKKα/β, and P65.

Conclusion

ATRA may inhibit the activationof the NF-κB pathway by suppressing cell proliferation and migration, downregulating IL-6levels, and inducing apoptosis.
