Research Abstract |
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease, involving multiple joints. In addition to the biologics, novel therapies should be established. We identified a novel RA-related protein of annexin 7 by proteomics, evidenced arthritogenecity of annexin7 and its role as a therapeutic target suing transgenic mice. Further, we evidenced annexin 7 contributed to arthritis through IL-8. Our study would be useful to establish a new therapy for RA.
