This study aimed to investigate TWEAK and TWEAK receptor Fn14 expression in synovial tissue from patients with active and inactive rheumatoid arthritis RA osteoarthritis OA and normal controls and assess soluble s TWEAK levels in the synovial fluids from patients with active RA and OA. Effects of sTWEAK on osteoclasts and osteoblasts were investigated in vitro. Methods TWEAK and Fn14 expression were detected in synovial tissues by immunohistochemistry IHC . Selected tissues were dual labelled with antibodies specific for TWEAK and lineage-selective cell surface markers CD68 Tryptase G CD22 and CD38. TWEAK mRNA expression was examined in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells PBMC sorted on the basis of their expression of CD22. sTWEAK was detected in synovial fluid from OA and RA patients by ELISA. The effect of sTWEAK on PBMC and RAW osteoclastogenesis was examined. The effect of sTWEAK on cell surface receptor activator of NF Kappa B Ligand RANKL expression by human osteoblasts was determined by flow cytometry. Results TWEAK and Fn14 expression were significantly higher in synovial tissue from all patient groups compared to the synovial tissue from control subjects P . TWEAK was significantly higher in active compared with inactive RA tissues P
