With improved cardiac function, there should be a reduction inactivation of the adrenergic-renin-angiotensin axes as well as adecrease in activated cytokines such as tumor-necrosis factor-α.In our model of heart failure, cardiac function correlated withthe incidence of apoptosis.
Macrophages in RA synovium secrete many inflammatory mediators (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and PGE 2 ) and a variety of matrix metalloproteinases, and are thought to play a central role in the inflammation and joint destruction characteristic of RA [ 2].
Chess and coworkers have shown that transforming growth factor-α and hepatocyte growth factor increase the phosphorylation of p44/p42 MAPK in H441 cells [ 23 ] .
