Oxidative stress at sites of chronic inflammation can cause permanent genetic changes. The development of mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene and other key regulatory genes could help convert inflammation into chronic disease in rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory disorders.
慢性炎症部位的氧化应激可导致永久性基因改变。p53肿瘤抑制基因和其他关键调控基因发生突变,可能促使类风湿关节炎和其他炎症性疾病中的炎症转变为慢性病。
