Abstract excerpt
The transition of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) toward a proinflammatory phenotype is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with proinflammatory RA-FLS exacerbating joint destruction via hyperproliferation, enhanced migration/invasion, and excessive inflammatory cytokine secretion. Extracellular ATP (eATP), a key damage-associated molecular pattern, is elevated in RA's inflammatory microenvironment and...
