Research Abstract

Hyperplasia and activation of synovial fibroblasts are the characteristic findings of rheumatoid arthritis. To identify the key microRNAs to regulate the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, 900 microRNA inhibitors are introduced to the synovial fibroblasts derived from the patients of rheumatoid arthritis, and examine the influence to the cell proliferation and activation. We identified some microRNA inhibitors which suppress the cell proliferation and the production of MMP-3 and IL-6. These microRNAs could be the new therapeutic target of rheumatoid arthritis.
