| Research Abstract |
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease to cause joint and cartilage destructions by the inflammation of a sustained synovium. NF-κB is a transcription factor and plays a pivotal role in regulating synovitis in RA. In unstimulated cells, NF-κB binds to inhibitory molecules IκBs and exists in cytoplasm. Especially, IκBβ2 has the strongest inhibitory effect against NF-κB activation in IκBs. Therefore, in this study, we found abnormal expression of the IκBβ2 protein which could restrain NF-κB and elucidated that the abnormal expresion of the IκBβ2 protein was due to produce RNA-binding protein and microRNA expression. The new RA treatment of the few type may be developed conventionally in future by these results of research.
