Abstract:ObjectiveThe specific role of fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS) in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is still not fully elucidated. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic pathways, including three epigenetic factors, MIR22, TET3, and MTRNR2L2, in RA‐FLS.MethodsThe expression of MIR22, TET3 and MTRNR2L2 in the synovium of patients with RA and arthritic mice were determined by FISH, qPCR, IHC and western blot. Mir22‐/‐ and Tet3+/‐ mice were used to establish CAIA model. M… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
