Morphological and Mechanical Characterization of Extracellular Vesicles and Parent Human Synoviocytes under Physiological and Inflammatory Conditions

Abstract: The morphology of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) issued from the synovial fluid (SF) of patients suffering from osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or from healthy subjects (H), as well as the ultrastructure and mechanical properties of the FLS-secreted extracellular vesicles (EV), were analyzed by confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and tribological tests. EV released under healthy conditions were constituted of several lipid bilayers surrounding a v… Show more

“…WBC counts obtained from HT-stented mice were notably higher than those from EP-stented animals, even at 8 weeks postimplantation, indicating a persistent source of peri-implant inflammation. At the micro (cellular) level, it is well-known that several pathological conditions are closely related to alterations in cells’ structure, morphology, and nanomechanical properties. The mechanical properties of live cells can affect their physical interactions with the surrounding extracellular matrix, potentially influencing the process of mechanical signal transduction in living tissues. Previous studies have described the infiltration of inflammatory cells and immunocytes (T-lymphocytes) in the restenotic tissue.…”
