by Institute for Basic Science The inflammatory response of RA causes autophagy in FLSs to produce putrescine, which intensifies inflammation of GABA and H2O2 through the MAO-B in the joint. In chronic inflammation, increased IL-1β passes through a loose blood-brain barrier and enters the brain. Increased IL-1β in the hippocampus causes cognitive impairment by activating astrocytes...
