Objective.Thioredoxin domain containing 5 (TXNDC5) is highly expressed in synovial membranes of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our study aimed to investigate the pathogenic role of TXNDC5 in RA.Methods.PCR arrays, CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry, and transwell migration assays were used to analyze cultured rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF).Results.Increased CXCL10 and tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand levels were detected in RASF transfected with anti-TXNDC5 small interfering RNA (siRNA), and decreased expression was detected in RASF transfected with TXNDC5-expressing plasmids. Significantly attenuated RASF proliferation and migration, and increased RASF apoptosis, were observed in the siRNA-transfected RASF.Conclusion.Downregulation of TXNDC5 could contribute to RASF antiangiogenic and proapoptotic features through the suppression of CXCL10 and TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand).
