Signalling, inflammation and arthritis: NF- B and its relevance to arthritis and inflammation

Abstract excerpt

In the synovial cells of patients with RA, activation of the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway results in the transactivation of a multitude of responsive genes that contribute to the inflammatory phenotype, including TNF-alpha from macrophages, matrix metalloproteinases from synovial fibroblasts and chemokines that recruit immune cells to the inflamed pannus. This is largely a consequence of activation...
