Long Non-Coding RNA NEAT1 Knockdown Alleviates Rheumatoid Arthritis by Reducing IL-18 through p300/CBP Repression

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. The crucial role of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the progression of RA has been highlighted. Hence, this study was designed to explore the specific downstream mechanism of lncRNA nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) in RA. Initially, the expression of NEAT1, p-p65, p300, and IL-18 in clinical tissues and cells was determined. Then, interactions among p65, NEAT1,...
