A myostatin-CCL20–CCR6 axis regulates Th17 cell recruitment to inflamed joints in experimental arthritis

Abstract The interactions of fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS)-derived pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and immune cells support the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells in RA. Here, we show for the first time that the classical myokine myostatin (GDF-8) is involved in the recruitme...
