What destroys rheumatoid arthritis?

The immunological disturbance in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) gives rise to a nonspecific inflammatory reaction mediated by cells and cytokines. This immunological nonbacterial synovitis, however, does not destroy the articular cartilage. The destruction of joint structures is the effect of tumor-like aggressive synoviogenic cell elements (TLP).

These TLP formations are not observed in any other type of arthritis. TLP formations are strictly avascular and short-lived. After they have decayed, a collagenous pannus remains. Invasion and destruction of joint structures are brought about by several types of proteases, synthesized and secreted by highly active TLP cells. The TLP formations possess more than twice the affinity for adjacent bone than for the articular cartilage. In these formations, four oncogenes could be identified. In the course of RA disease, TLP formations can recur. Thus, the joint damage can summate with time. The oncological character of the aggressive process in RA demands new therapeutical considerations to protect RA patients from destruction of their joints.

Popping and cracking noises in the knee are not unusual. If it's not accompanied by pain, it is probably not worth worrying about. Sometimes it's caused by the release of gases as the space between the two bones changes (the same phenomenon that causes your knuckles to crack or pop). Sometimes, it's caused by ligaments that rub or snap across a bone as it moves (like a rubber band snapping). [I'm a physical therapist--with arthritis]
