Prolonged Tumor Necrosis Factor α Primes Fibroblast‐like Synoviocytes in a Gene‐Specific Manner by Altering Chromatin
8 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: During the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are chronically exposed to an inflammatory milieu. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that prolonged exposure of FLS to tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) augments inflammatory responses to secondary stimuli (priming effect). METHODS: FLS obtained from RA patients were exposed to TNFα for 3 days and were...
