Lipid Peroxidation-Mediated Inflammation Promotes Cell Apoptosis through Activation of NF-κB Pathway in Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Cells

Figure 1

Alternations of multiple intracellular pathways by 4-HNE treatment in MH7A synovial cells. Histograms showing that multiple intracellular pathways are altered by 4-HNE treatment (5 μM for 3 h) through Millipore Luminex assays. Noted that insulin receptor (IR), AKT, mTOR, and GSK pathways are downregulated by 4-HNE treatment (blow) and NF-κB, MAPK, and STATs pathways are upregulated (red, NF-κB green).
