Abstract

Peripheral blood (PB) T cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients proliferate poorly to mitogen, a change that is related to decreased intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) signaling after T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. We hypothesized that this was, in part, due to the effect of mediators of inflammation and predicted that greater changes in [Ca2+]i signaling would be seen in synovial fluid (SF) T cells. We also examined the mechanisms underlying the altered [Ca2+]i signals.
