Nicotine Changes the microRNA Profile to Regulate the FOXO Memory Program of CD8+ T Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Objective: Smoking suppresses PD-1 expression in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we assess if smoking changed the epigenetic control over CD8+ T cell memory formation through a microRNA (miR) dependent mechanism.Methods: Phenotypes of CD8+ T cells from smokers and non-smokers...
