Abstract
Both complement activation and certain infections (including those with Yersinia sp.) may contribute to the pathogenesis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We investigated factors specific for the lectin pathway of complement: mannose-binding lectin (MBL), ficolins and MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2), in 144 patients and 98 controls. One hundred and six patients had oligoarticular disease and 38 had polyarticular disease. In 51 patients (out of 133 tested), Yersinia-reactive antibodies were found (JIA Ye+ group). MBL deficiency was significantly more frequent in the JIA Ye+ group than in patients without Yersinia-reactive antibodies or in controls. Median serum ficolin-2 level was significantly lower (and proportion of values deemed ficolin-2 insufficient greater) in JIA patients irrespective of their Yersinia antibody status. The minority (C) allele at -64 of the FCN2 gene was less frequent among JIA patients than among control subjects. No differences were found in the frequency of FCN3 gene +1637delC or MASP2 +359 A>G mutations nor for median values of serum ficolin-1, ficolin-3 or MASP-2. However, high levels of serum ficolin-3 were under-represented in patients, in contrast to MBL. MBL, ficolin-1, ficolin-2, ficolin-3 and MASP-2 were also readily detectable in synovial fluid samples but at a considerably lower level than in serum. Our findings suggest a possible role for the lectin pathway in the pathogenesis of JIA, perhaps secondary to a role in host defence, and indicate that investigations on the specificity of lectin pathway recognition molecules towards specific infectious agents in JIA might be fruitful.

Abstract
On a population-based level, the incidence of reactive arthritis (ReA) is 0.6–27/100,000. The definition of ReA varies and its pathogenesis is not yet clear. Attempts in basic immunology to suggest hypotheses for proliferation of forbidden B cell clones, molecular mimicry, and involvement of cross-reactive antibodies are helpful but not sufficient. Importantly, for the clinical diagnosis of the preceding infection, serology is widely used. Unfortunately, the accuracy of associations between serologic findings and clinical conclusions is plagued by poor standardization of methods. So far, few attempts have been done to examine the pitfalls of different approaches. Here, we review several serologic techniques, their performance and limitations. We will focus on serology for Yersinia, Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, and Chlamydia trachomatis because these bacteria have a longer history of being associated with ReA. We also address controversies regarding the role of serology for some other bacteria linked to autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
It is known that primary afferent central terminal sensitization can influence peripheral inflammation, however, it remains to be understood whether spinal cord glia can also contribute to this process. Our aim was to investigate the effect of spinal cord glia inhibition on the pathogenesis of LPS-induced knee-joint monoarthritis in rats and also to investigate the role of fractalkine and TNF-α. LPS was injected into the knee-joint previously primed with carrageenan to cause articular incapacitation, edema, synovial leukocyte infiltration, and GFAP and CD11b/c spinal immunoreactivity (glia-IR) increase. Articular edema was more sensitive to the inhibition by intrathecal fluorocitrate and minocycline than nociception and synovial leukocyte content. The higher doses of both drugs were ineffective when given by intraperitoneal route. Corticosteroid synthesis inhibition by aminoglutethimide did not change the glia inhibitors effect. The inhibitory effect of the dorsal root potential inhibitor, furosemide, was not additive to that caused by fluorocitrate and minocycline. Intrathecal anti-fractalkine and anti-TNF-α inhibited edema, nociception, and synovial leukocytes, while fractalkine caused the opposite effects. The fractalkine effect was inhibited by fluorocitrate and anti-TNF-α. Finally, fluorocitrate, minocycline and anti-fractalkine attenuated, but fractalkine increased, GFAP and CD11b/c IR. The evidence reported herein supports the hypothesis that spinal fractalkine release is involved in glia activation, which via the spinal release of TNF-α, seems to be involved in the development and maintenance of this arthritis model. A possible modulation of the dorsal root reflexes is discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled 'Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder'.

Abstract
The interaction of resident tissue cells with migratory inflammatory cells is essential for the recruitment of immune effector cells to inflammatory sites. The sustained expression of adhesion molecules in the synovium of patients with chronic Lyme arthritis seems to contribute to this chronic inflammation. Whether cell adhesion molecules influence the early steps of Borreliosis is unclear. Therefore, we examined the expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1 and NCAM-1 in synovial cells exposed to two different Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto strains Geho and B31. The mRNA expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-2, VCAM-1 and NCAM-1 was not changed in synovial cells exposed to B31. Whereas ICAM-2 and VCAM-1 was upregulated, NCAM-1 mRNA was downregulated and ICAM-1 mRNA was unchanged by strain Geho. The ICAM-1 protein expression on the synovial cell surface was downregulated by both strains. Differential regulation of adhesion molecule mRNA, and subsequent high turnover or elevated shedding from the cell membrane may contribute to early pathogenesis in Lyme arthritis.

Abstract
Microbes reach the synovial cavity either directly during bacteraemia or by transport within lymphoid cells or monocytes. This may stimulate the immune system excessively, triggering arthritis. Some forms of ReA correspond to slow infectious arthritis due to the persistence of microbes and some to an infection triggered arthritis linked to an extra-articular site of infection.

Abstract
Synovial fibroblasts were infected with Yersinia enterocolitica or Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis and analyzed by electron microscopy and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Intracellular bacterial replication was followed by degradation leading to "ghosts" possessing lipopolysaccharides but not DNA. However, single bacteria survived for more than 2 weeks. Therefore, transient intra-articular infection might be the missing link between initial intestinal infection and late synovial inflammation in the pathogenesis of reactive arthritis.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells crucial for initiating immune responses like sensitization of T cells to foreign antigens. We have previously shown that infection of DC by enteropathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica in vitro leads to a transient suppression in the immunostimulatory capacity for autologous enriched total T cells. In this study, we found that killed Yersinia could replace live bacteria in this aspect, and that yersinial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-antigen could be detected intracellularly over a time course of 8 days. A suppressive effect on T cell proliferation after stimulation with Yersinia-infected compared to uninfected DC was seen for CD4+ T cells isolated by immunomagnetic separation techniques over the whole time course of 8 days, whereas CD8+ T cells followed to exhibit a suppressed proliferation rate starting on day 5 post infection till the end of the time course. In contrast, enriched total T cells stimulated by Yersinia-infected DC showed weaker proliferation till day 6 post infection compared to stimulation by uninfected DC, but not thereafter. Mixing of purified CD4+ and CD8+ T cells at day 8 post infection could reconstitute the effect seen for enriched total T cells. Thus, helper in concert with cytotoxic T cells might contribute to the immune responses, that are necessary for control of Yersinia-infections.

Abstract
Infection with Yersinia enterocolitica is the cause of intestinal or extraintestinal diseases. We investigated the role of dendritic cells (DC), the most potent antigen-presenting cell (APC), in the course of infection with Y. enterocolitica in vitro. For these studies, DC were isolated from human peripheral blood and infected with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labelled Y. enterocolitica. Bacteria were found within DC by FACS analysis and viable bacteria could be cultured from lysed cells. Within 24 h after infection, DC upregulated CD83 and CD86 followed at day 3, indicating maturation of DC. In contrast, for MHC class II, a marked but transient downregulation was observed at day 3 after infection, and downregulation to a lesser extent for CD80 at day 5. To assess the immunostimulatory capacity of DC, viable infected and uninfected DC were incubated with autologous T cells in the presence of phytohemagglutinin A (PHA). T cell proliferation was significantly reduced at days 4-6 after infection but not thereafter, whereas nonpathogenic Escherichia coli was not able to mimick this suppressive effect of Y. enterocolitica. The same suppression could be observed when infected DC were used in a mixed leucocyte reaction with allogeneic T cells. Thus Y. enterocolitica is able to invade DC, does not induce necrosis or apoptosis, but affects maturation of DC. However, MHC class II-molecules are downregulated initially, which coincides with a diminished immunostimulatory capacity of DC infected with Y. enterocolitica. The diminished immunostimulatory capacity of DC following infection with Y. enterocolitica in vitro might impair or delay elimination of bacteria thereby contributing to pathogenesis of bacterial enteritis or extraintestinal manifestations such as reactive arthritis.

Abstract
Lyme arthritis following infection with Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) is associated with the presence of bacteria in the joint, but the mechanism of persistent infection in the presence of specific antibodies and lymphocytes remains unknown. To investigate how an infection with B. burgdorferi might influence the local immune response in the joint, we examined the expression of cell adhesion molecules, human leucocyte antigens and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-1 and -2 in human synovial cells after infection with B. burgdorferi in vitro. Synovial cells are known to influence the function of local immunologic effector cells and play a key role in the pannus formation of erosive arthritis. It has been shown previously that B. burgdorferi can persist in the cytosol of human synovial cells. The expression of the surface molecules ICAM-1, VCAM-1, HLA-class-I and -class-II and the cytosolic production of iNOS-1 and -2 in synovial cells was measured by flow cytometry for up to 5 days after infection with B. burgdorferi. A significant, lasting downregulation of surface ICAM-1 could be demonstrated on synovial cells, whereas no significant changes were seen in the expression of VCAM-1, HLA-class-I and -II, and of iNOS-1 and -2. To determine the biological significance of this downregulation an in vitro adhesion assay using peripheral blood mononuclear cells was developed. After infection with B. burgdorferi a significantly smaller number of mononuclear cells was adhering to the synovial cell monolayer. Adhesion of peripheral mononuclear cells was shown to be in part mediated by ICAM-1 by using a blocking mononuclear antibody against ICAM-1. Downregulation of ICAM-1 on synovial cells due to infection with B. burgdorferi might suppress the local immunosurveillance and might help the bacteria to persist in joint cells in vivo.

Abstract
In vivo effects of Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 lipopolysaccharide (prepared from bacteria grown at 25 degrees C and 37 degrees C) were investigated after intraperitoneal (i.p.) and intraarticular (i.a.) injection in rats during 30 days of examination. The persistence of endotoxin in the peritoneal and the synovial cavities was demonstrated by the immunofluorescence technique. Peritoneal and synovial exudative cell infiltration, as well as changes in some parameters (glycolytic and acid phosphatase activity, and killing ability of peritoneal cells; lactate dehydrogenase concentration in synovial fluid) were studied. The results indicated that endotoxin could persist longer in the synovial than in the peritoneal cavity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of long-term antibiotic treatment in patients with reactive arthritis (ReA) and undifferentiated oligoarthritis. METHODS One hundred twenty-six patients were treated with ciprofloxacin (500 mg twice a day) or placebo for 3 months, in a double-blind, randomized study. Of these patients, 104 (48 treated with ciprofloxacin and 56 treated with placebo) were valid for clinical evaluation: 55 were diagnosed as having ReA with a preceding symptomatic urogenic or enteric infection and 49 as having undifferentiated oligoarthritis. These 2 groups were randomized separately. The triggering bacterium was sought by serology and/or culture. The percentage of patients in remission after 3 months of treatment was chosen as the primary efficacy parameter. RESULTS A triggering bacterium could be identified in 52 patients (50%): Chlamydia trachomatis in 13, Yersinia in 14, and Salmonella in 25. No patient was positive for Campylobacter jejuni or for Shigella. No difference in outcome was found between treatment with ciprofloxacin or placebo in the whole group or in subgroups of patients with ReA or undifferentiated oligoarthritis. No difference was seen in patients with a disease duration <3 months. Ciprofloxacin was not effective in Yersinia- or Salmonella-induced arthritis but seemed to be better than placebo in Chlamydia-induced arthritis. This difference was not significant, however, which might be due to the small sample size. CONCLUSION Long-term treatment of ReA with ciprofloxacin is not effective; however, it might be useful in the subgroup of patients who have Chlamydia-induced arthritis. This has to be proven in a bigger study focusing on patients with Chlamydia-induced arthritis.

Abstract
Inflammatory joint disease can develop following an extra-articular infection. The term reactive arthritis was coined in order to differentiate this arthritis, which is often characterized by lack of culturable organisms in the joint, from septic arthritides. Bacteria known to trigger reactive arthritis include Campylobacter, Chlamydia, Salmonella, Shigella and Yersinia. Demonstration of bacteria or bacterial macromolecules in the joint has elicited the idea that reactive arthritis is a sterile process induced and maintained by antigenic material in the synovium. Continued synthesis of antigens to maintain synovial inflammation probably requires establishment of persistent bacterial infection in the joint, or at the primary site of infection. In the case of Chlamydia trachomatis, viable, metabolically-active organisms have been demonstrated to exist for extended periods in the joints of patients with reactive arthritis. In this chapter, we review the aetiological agents, and their molecular biology and phagocyte-host interactions, that are involved in reactive arthritis and spondylarthropathy.

Abstract
The way in which a host accommodates invasive facultative intracellular bacteria must be the key to the development of reactive arthritis. Investigators have analyzed the bacterial events at several levels: invasion into host cells, intracellular survival, translocation from the sites of infection to the joints, residence in the joints, and evasion of host defense. Because HLA-B27 is present in higher incidence in patients with reactive arthritis and is an essential gene in the related ankylosing spondylitis, the role of HLA-B27 in host defense is also assumed to be important in the development of reactive arthritis. This review summarizes the various studies in this field.

Abstract
In this report, we present details of two rapid molecular detection techniques based on 16S and 23S rRNA sequence data to identify and differentiate Yersinia species from clinical and environmental sources. Near-full-length 16S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequences for three different Yersinia species and partial 23S rDNA sequences for three Y. pestis and three Y. pseudotuberculosis strains were determined. While 16S rDNA sequences of Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis were found to be identical, one base difference was identified within a highly variable region of 23S rDNA. The rDNA sequences were used to develop primers and fluorescently tagged oligonucleotide probes suitable for differential detection of Yersinia species by PCR and in situ hybridization, respectively. As few as 10(2) Yersinia cells per ml could be detected by PCR with a seminested approach. Amplification with a subgenus-specific primer pair followed by a second PCR allowed differentiation of Y. enterocolitica biogroup 1B from biogroups 2 to 5 or from other pathogenic Yersinia species. Moreover, a set of oligonucleotide probes suitable for rapid (3-h) in situ detection and differentiation of the three pathogenic Yersinia species (in particular Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis) was developed. The applicability of this technique was demonstrated by detection of Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis in spiked throat and stool samples, respectively. These probes were also capable of identifying Y. enterocolitica within cryosections of experimentally infected mouse tissue by the use of confocal laser scanning microscopy.

Abstract
Infection of fibroblast-like synovial cells with Chlamydia trachomatis (serotype D strain IC Cal 8) in culture induced the secretion of beta interferon (IFN-beta). Chlamydial infection inhibited IFN-gamma-induced expression of HLA-DR antigen in the cells. Addition of IFN-beta antibody directly to infected cultures mitigated HLA-DR inhibition, suggesting involvement of produced IFN-beta.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analysis of the interaction of enteropathogenic bacteria with HLA B27 transfected murine fibroblasts showed a specific influence of HLA B27 on microbial invasiveness. This possible novel mechanism for the action of HLA B27 should be verified by using endogenous HLA B27 positive and negative human fibroblasts as a model for the direct interaction of arthritogenic bacteria and host cells. METHODS Fibroblasts were obtained from healthy donors positive or negative for HLA B27; cultivated as monolayers; and infected with Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis. RESULTS Invasion and survival of bacteria in human cells was not influenced by the presence of HLA B27. Enhancement of HLA class I molecule expression by treatment of cultures with interferon gamma decreased invasion and survival of bacteria in both HLA B27 positive and negative cells. After disappearance of live bacteria lipopolysaccharide antigens persisted within cells. CONCLUSION Endogenous HLA B27 does not modulate the direct interaction of Salmonella with human cells. Non-professional phagocytes are able to limit bacterial survival in cells, and interferon gamma accelerates killing of bacteria, but arthritogenic antigens persist after disappearance of live bacteria.
