IL-34 affects fibroblast-like synoviocyte proliferation, apoptosis and function by regulating IL-17

Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by proliferation and insufficient apoptosis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs).The biology and functions of interleukin (IL)-34 are only beginning to be uncovered. We previously demonstrated IL-34 could upregulate...
