In induced models of autoimmunity, the CD28-B7 interaction has been shown to regulate disease susceptibility by rendering autoreactive T cells anergic, or alternatively by upregulating the threshold for autoreactive T-cell activation [ 30 ] . Furthermore, we previously showed that impaired Fas-mediated activation-induced cell death (AICD) of autoreactive T-helper-1 cells may be responsible for the development of PGIA [ 20 ] . Therefore, AICD and/or T-cell anergy, but not the CD4 +CD25 +regulatory T cells, may be responsible for deletion or inactivation of autoreactive T cells in autoimmune arthritis.
Caspase 6 is activated by active Caspase 3 and in turn cleaves lamin, resulting in nuclear membrane fragmentation [ 55 ] . FAF interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of the Fas receptor to potentiate Fas-mediated apoptosis [ 56 57 ] . Thus, the up-regulated cell cycle inhibitors and apoptotic proteins clearly favor cell cycle arrest and death.
