Thioredoxin (TRX) is a cellular reducing catalyst induced by oxidative stress and is involved in the redox regulation of transcription factors such as NF-{kappa}B. We found that the serum TRX concentration was elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as compared with values from healthy individuals and patients with osteoarthritis (33.6 ± 35.1 vs 11.8 ± 6.6 ng/ml, p < 0.01). Moreover, the TRX concentration in the synovial fluid (SF) was much more elevated in RA patients than in osteoarthritis patients (103.4 ± 53.3 vs 24.6 ± 17.4 ng/ml, p < 0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that the serum C-reactive protein value was better correlated with the linear combination of SF TNF-{alpha} and SF TRX values than with SF TNF-{alpha} alone, suggesting that TRX might play a subsidiary role in the rheumatoid inflammation. We thus examined the effect of TRX on the TNF-{alpha}-induced IL-6 and IL-8 production using rheumatoid synovial fibroblast cultures. The extents of IL-6 and IL-8 production in response to TNF-{alpha} were greatly augmented by TRX as compared with TNF-{alpha} alone. TRX alone did not have such effects. We also found that TRX appeared to accelerate the nuclear translocation of NF-{kappa}B, a major transcriptional regulator for production of IL-6 and IL-8 on stimulation with TNF-{alpha}. Consistent with these findings, the I{kappa}B{alpha} phosphorylation at Ser32 and its subsequent degradation in response to TNF-{alpha} was facilitated by TRX. These findings indicate that the elevated TRX concentration in SF of RA patients might be involved in the aggravation of rheumatoid inflammation by augmenting the NF-{kappa}B activation pathway.
