Abstract:Background
Our previous study found that the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients was significantly different from that of healthy donors. The goals of this study were to explore the expression profiles and functional networks of lncRNAs and mRNAs in TLR4-primed mesenchymal stromal cells from AS patients (AS-MSCs) and to clarify the mechanisms by which TLR4-primed MSCs exert immunoregulatory effects in AS.
Methods
Firstly, the immunoregulatory effects of MSCs were de… Show more
