Over expression of toll-like receptors in peripheral blood and synovial fluid monocytes of enthesitis related arthritis category of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA-ERA) patients contributes to secretion of inflammatory mediators

In paired samples, SFMCs showed a trend towards higher IL-6 and IL-8 production compared to PBMCs (Table 1 ) Conclusion Increased TLR expression and signaling on PBMC and SFMC from JIA-ERA patients may exacerbate disease by upregulating IL-6, IL-8 and MMP-3 in response to microbial/ endogenous ligands.
