Retrotransposable L1 elements expressed in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissue: Association with genomic DNA hypomethylation and influence on gene expression
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by a progressive destruction of joints by invasive synovial fibroblasts (SF). We searched for retroviral sequences in RA synovial fluid pellets, identified a sequence similar to that of open reading frame 2 (ORF2)/L1 retrotransposable elements, explored the expression of L1 in RA synovial tissues and cultured RA SF, and investigated the link to genomic DNA...
