Role of ADAMTS‐12 in Protecting Against Inflammatory Arthritis in Mice By Interacting With and Inactivating Proinflammatory Connective Tissue Growth Factor

Abstract

It has been reported that ADAMTS‐12 is a susceptibility gene for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development, and its level is significantly increased in RA patients. In addition, ADAMTS‐12 is reported to be required for inflammation in otherwise healthy subjects. This study was undertaken to determine the role of ADAMTS‐12 and the underlying mechanisms in the pathogenesis of inflammatory arthritis.
