The Emerging Roles of CCN3 Protein in Immune-Related Diseases
Table 1
Immune-related diseases influenced by CCN3.
| | Diseases | Mechanisms |
| | Osteoarthritis (OA) | Decreases MMP, reduces extracellular matrix catabolism, and decreases the level of proinflammatory cytokines | | Glomerulonephritis (GN) | Antifibrosis, inhibits mesangial cell growth, and inhibits the acceleration of ECM | | Metabolic diseases | Inhibits the proliferation of pancreatic β-cells, regulates macrophage function, and regulates insulin signaling | | Multiple sclerosis (MS) | Regulates Treg function and promotes myelin regeneration | | Systemic sclerosis (SSc) | Antifibrosis, proangiogenesis, and controls extracellular matrix deposition | | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | Decreases inflammatory cytokines |
