RelA/MicroRNA-30a/NLRP3 signal axis is involved in rheumatoid arthritis via regulating NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages

Abstract NLRP3 inflammasome plays an important role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the post-transcriptional regulation of NLRP3 expression by miRNA in synovial macrophages is still not well understood. The aim of the study is to elucidate the mechanisms of RA with the foc...
