From: Monocytes are essential for inhibition of synovial T-cell glucocorticoid-mediated apoptosis in rheumatoid arthritis

Figure 3

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-derived, but not psoriatic arthritis (PsA)-derived, synovial fluid (SF) T cells cocultured with monocytes are resistant to glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. Flow cytometric analysis shows that dexamethasone induces an increase in the number of SF CD3/Annexin V double-positive T cells of PsA patients (n = 2) (a), whereas dexamethasone (n = 11) (b), triamcinolone (n = 4) (c), and metylprednisolone (n = 4) (d) fail to induce similar changes in apoptosis in SF CD3+ T cells of RA patients.
