A20 suppresses canonical Smad-dependent fibroblast activation: novel function for an endogenous inflammatory modulator
3 Oct 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The ubiquitin-editing cytosolic enzyme A20, the major negative regulator of toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated cellular inflammatory responses, has tight genetic linkage with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Because recent studies implicate endogenous ligand-driven TLR signaling in SSc pathogenesis, we sought to investigate the regulation, role and mechanism of action of A20 in skin fibroblasts. METHOD: A20...
