Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic progressive destruction of joints involving several disease processes, such as villous hypertrophy, proliferation of synovial lining cells, and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Synovial cell activation and proliferation is thought to be a key step in the destruction of cartilaginous and bony tissues in RA joints. In view of the invasive properties of synoviocytes in RA, we conducted in vitro studies to determine the mechanism of action of paclitaxel (Taxol) on synoviocytes, which may account for the inhibition of joint destruction found when this agent is administered.
