Do cytokines regulate fibroblast-like synovial cell differentiation to adipocyte-like cells?
Our results indicate the importance of PPAR gamma and C/EBP in adipocyte-like cell differentiation of FLS and that the process is influenced by inflammatory cytokines, and suggest that the proinflammatory character of FLS in patients with RA is diminished during adipocyte-like cell differentiation.
The results indicate that among middle-aged men, but not women, anxiety levels are predictive of later incidence of hypertension.
