Chronic inhibition of apoptosis, necroptosis, or ferroptosis mitigated pathological remodeling after MI The histopathological findings revealed that the post-MI rat hearts exhibited extended cardiac fibrosis and myocardial hypertrophy, as evidenced by prominent LV scar formation, interstitial fibrosis in the infarct border zone, and increased cardiomyocyte cross-sectional area, in comparison to the sham group (Fig

such binding promotes osteoclast differentiation and osteolytic function in vitro Osteoclast differentiation is dependent on the citrullination of proteins by protein-arginine deiminases Both Fc-dependent and Fc-independent mechanisms are involved in ACPA-mediated osteoclast activation Binding of ACPAs to osteoclasts induces the production of the chemokine IL-8 Infusion of ACPAs into mice causes IL-8-dependent bone loss and IL-8-mediated pain behaviour The unique role of citrullination in osteoclast differentiation and ACPA-induced osteoclast activation might explain important features of the gradual development of rheumatoid arthritis, including why the joints are targeted Abstract A key unanswered question in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is how systemic autoimmunity progresses to joint-specific inflammation
