Abstract Functional links between bone remodeling and the immune system in chronic inflammatory arthritis are mediated in part by the ligand of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa-B RANK-L . Because neutrophils play a crucial role in chronic inflammation the goal of this study was to determine whether proteins of the RANK RANK-L pathway are expressed by synovial fluid SF neutrophils from patients with rheumatoid arthritis RA and to characterize this pathway in normal human blood neutrophils. The expression of RANK-L osteoprotegerin OPG RANK and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 TRAF6 was determined by polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay Western blotting and cytofluorometry. RANK signaling was analyzed by the degradation of inhibitor of kappaB-alpha I-KB-a . SF neutrophils from .
