    Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the potential of the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) bromodomain to regulate IL-17 expression in peripheral blood from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its underlying mechanisms. Methods: The level of IL-17A, TNFα and IFNγ in PBMCs from patients with RA was evaluated by a c... Show More
