Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: A3AR was overexpressed in PBMC of RA patients compared to healthy subjects and was directly correlated to an increase in NF-kappaB. Similar findings were observed in PHA and LPS-stimulated PBMC from healthy subjects. Antibodies against IL-2 or TNF-alpha prevented the increase in A3AR and NF-kappaB expression. CONCLUSION:
