| JIA is considered a T-cell mediated disease in which CD4+ T cells exacerbate inflammation in rheumatoid joints. Majority of the CD4+ T cells in joints appear to be of the Th1 type, with memory and activation markers. T cells in joints increase in number by recruitment, resistance to apoptosis and accumulation. For this process, cytokines are of importance. | JIA is considered a T-cell mediated disease in which CD4+ T cells exacerbate inflammation in rheumatoid joints.

| Cytokines are protein messengers that transmit signals from one cell to another by binding to specific receptors on the surface of cells. Both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and mitogenic factors are produced, but proinflammatory mediators predominate during the active phase of disease.Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), IL-1, IL-6 and IL-17 are of key importance in the pathogenesis of inflammation in RA. IL-1 and TNFα are also key players in the regulation of mediators of connective tissue damage by synoviocytes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and prostaglandins (Nath Maini, 2010). | Cytokines are protein messengers that transmit signals from one cell to another by binding to specific receptors on the surface of cells.

| ACPAs may also bind to citrullinated proteins directly in the synovial membrane. Immune complexes between citrullinated proteins ,such as fibrinogen, and ACPA-igG can drive inflammation (including the production of IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor) by engaging both toll-like receptor (TLR4) and Fc receptors (Nath Maini, 2010). | ACPAs may also bind to citrullinated proteins directly in the synovial membrane.
