Further studies revealed that CRP also induced synovial inflammation differentially via CD32/CD64- NF-κB or p38 pathways as blockade of CRP-CD32-NF-κB signaling inhibited CXCL8, CCL2, IL-6, whereas CRP induced RA-FLS invasiveness through CD32-p38 and MMP9 expression via the CD64-p38-dependent mechanism. The gene discussed is FCGR1A; the disease is inflammatory response.
