01
Overview
Apoptosis-related proteins in synovial tissue encompass a group of molecules that regulate programmed cell death (apoptosis) within the synovium, the tissue lining joints. These proteins are critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis and are dysregulated in diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA), contributing to pathological synovial hyperplasia and joint destruction. Key players include the Fas/FasL system, Bcl-2 family proteins, caspases, TRAIL/DR5, XIAP, Sentrin/SUMO, and Synoviolin. In RA, an imbalance favoring survival over death occurs in fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), leading to persistent inflammation and joint damage. Targeting these molecules represents a potential therapeutic strategy for restoring normal turnover and homeostasis.
