Measurement of mactinin's maturation-promoting activity
When the detected levels of mactinin are corrected for the recovery rate by the isolation procedure, they are 1.7-15 ng/ml, and are in the range of maturation-promoting activity in vitro (≥ 25 pM or 0.8 ng/ml) and the level needed for chemotactic activity (0.
Monocyte/macrophage infiltration has a key role in the pathogenesis of chronic arthritis [ 8 ] . The release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and enzymes by the synovial lining macrophages is important for the onset, propagation, and flare of arthritic inflammation [ 9 ] . The finding that the number of synovial tissue macrophages is correlated with joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis is evidence of their importance [ 9 10 ] . Monocytes and macrophages are believed to have a similar role in other chronic inflammatory joint diseases, such as gout [ 11 ] and psoriatic arthropathy [ 12 ] . Therefore in this study we assessed the effects of mactinin on monocyte chemotaxis in vitro . We have also tested synovial fluid from patients with various types of arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, reactive arthritis, gout, and ankylosing spondylitis, for the presence of the monocyte/macrophage maturation-promoting fragment, mactinin.
Recombinant mactinin has maturation-promoting activity
We have previously demonstrated that only the 31 kDa α-actinin degradation product has maturation-promoting activity [ 5 ] . These proteins were not seen in non-reduced samples, which did have immunoreactive material at the top of the gel (data not shown).
