This analysis, coupled with transcription factor binding site linkage, revealed transcription factors such as Junb, Rela, Relb (Galardi et al., 2011), Nfe2l2, and Bach1, which may play a role in positively regulating the activity of these two miRNAs in arthritis, leading to the expansion of pathogenic and destructive clusters of the intermediate and lining compartments, respectively. Here, NFE2L2 is linked to arthritic joint disease.
