To understand the mechanisms that promote recruitment and survival of T cells within the pediatric inflamed joint, we have studied the expression of CCR4 and CCR5 on synovial fluid T cells and matched peripheral blood samples from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) patients using three-color flow cytometric analysis. Thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine and macrophage-derived chemokine, ligands for CCR4, were measured by ELISA in JRA synovial fluid, JRA plasma, adult rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid, and normal plasma. IL-4 and IFN-gamma mRNA production was assessed in CD4+/CCR4+ and CD4+/CCR4(-) cell subsets. We found accumulations of both CCR4+ and CCR5+ T cells in JRA synovial fluids and a correlation for increased numbers of CCR4+ T cells in samples collected early in the disease process. Thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine was detected in JRA synovial fluid and plasma samples, but not in adult rheumatoid arthritis synovial fluid or control plasma. Macrophage-derived chemokine was present in all samples. CD4+/CCR4+ synovial lymphocytes produced more IL-4 and less IFN-gamma than CD4+/CCR4(-) cells. These findings suggest that CCR4+ T cells in the JRA joint may function early in disease in an anti-inflammatory capacity through the production of type 2 cytokines and may play a role in determining disease phenotype.
