Cutting Edge: Chronic NF-κB Activation in CD4+ T Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Genetically Determined by HLA Risk Alleles
20 Jun 2015
Abstract excerpt
Of identified genetic variants, HLA polymorphisms confer the greatest risk for developing autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (HLA-DRB1*04). There are strong influences of HLA polymorphisms on cell type-specific gene expression in B cells and monocytes. Their influence on gene expression in CD4(+) T cells is not known. We determined transcript and proteins levels of target genes in...
