Abstract To determine the contribution of IL-1P tumor necrosis factor alpha TNF-a and IL-17 to AP-1 NF-kB and Egr-1 activation in rheumatoid arthritis the effect of the cytokines used alone or in combination was measured on TF expression in rheumatoid synoviocytes. Effects on mRNA expression were measured by RT-PCR and effects on nuclear translocation were measured by immunocytochemistry. To assess the functional consequences of cytokine induction osteoprotegerin levels were measured in synoviocyte supernatants. IL-1P and TNF-a alone at optimal concentration 100 pg ml induced the nuclear translocation of NF-kB and almost all AP-1 members except JunB and Egr-1 for IL-1P and except Fra-2 and Egr-1 for TNF-a. IL-17 was clearly less potent since no nuclear translocation was observed except for a weak activation of Fra-1 and NF-kB. More importantly when these cytokines were used at low concentrations their combination showed a synergistic effect on almost all the TFs except for Egr-1 with a particular effect on .
