cGAS/STING signaling in the regulation of rheumatoid synovial aggression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) play a critical role in promoting synovial aggression and joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)/stimulator of interferon gene (STING) signaling plays an important role in controlling a series of cellular biological processes. However, it is still unclear whether cGAS/STING signaling regulates rheumatoid synovial aggression.

Methods

Cell migration and invasion were detected using a Transwell chamber. Gene expression was measured using quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and protein expression was detected by western blotting. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) pr
