A novel long non-coding RNA in the rheumatoid arthritis risk locus TRAF1-C5 influences C5 mRNA levels
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can regulate the transcript levels of genes in the same genomic region. These locally acting lncRNAs have been found deregulated in human disease and some have been shown to harb...

DNA methylation regulates the expression of CXCL12 in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts
In the search for specific genes regulated by DNA methylation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we investigated the expression of CXCL12 in synovial fibroblasts (SFs) and the methylation status of its promoter and...

Regulated and constitutive expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines by nontransforming herpesvirus saimiri vectors
Herpesviral saimiri-(HVS) mediated expression of bovine growth hormone was one of the first applications of an episomal viral vector for gene therapy. Meanwhile, the long-term persistence of HVS vectors has be...

Targeting cathepsin L (CL) by specific ribozymes decreases CL protein synthesis and cartilage destruction in rheumatoid arthritis
The present study was undertaken to examine whether ribozymes cleaving specifically cathepsin L (CL) mRNA are able to decrease the synthesis of CL protease in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RA-SF) ...

Cartilage degradation and invasion by rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts is inhibited by gene transfer of TIMP-1 and TIMP-3
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are believed to be pivotal enzymes in the invasion of articular cartilage by synovial tissue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the effects of gene transfer of...
