Immunomodulatory effects of Simvastatin in Toll-like receptor-2 stimulated Rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes
2022-05-30
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are major effector cells in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) activation of FLS plays a key role in RA pathogenesis. Recently, statins have been shown to modulate RA. We investigated the immunomodulatory effects of simvastatin (SMV) in vitro, in FLS cell lines from control and RA subjects, in the presence of TLR2 activation. Normal and RA FLS cultures (1×10...
