Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the accumulation of CD4(+) memory T cells in the inflamed synovium, To address the mechanism, we analyzed chemokine receptor expression and found that the frequency of CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)4 expressing synovial tissue CD4(+) memory T cells was significantly elevated. CXCR4 expression could be enhanced by IL-15, whereas stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1, the ligand of CXCR4, was expressed in the RA synovium and could be increased by CD40 stimulation, SDF-1 stimulated migration of rheumatoid synovial T cells and also inhibited activation-induced apoptosis of T cells. These results indicate that SDP-1-CXCR4 interactions play important roles in CD4(+) memory T cell accumulation in the RA synovium, and emphasize the role of stromal cells in regulating rheumatoid inflammation.
