Alteration of telomere length and mtDNA copy number in interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis
4 Mar 2025
Abstract excerpt
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The inflammatory response in lung disease is characterized by severe oxidative stress, which enhances cellular senescence. Telomeric shortening and mitochondria dysregulation represent two hallmarks of cellular senescence. The maintenance of telomere length (TL) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) copy number is...
