Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Chemokines, including RANTES/CCL5 and MCP-1/CCL2, are highly expressed in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and they promote leukocyte migration into the synovial tissue. This study was conducted to determine whether the inhibition of RANTES and MCP-1 therapeutically was capable of ameliorating rat of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA). Postonset treatment of AIA using a novel inhibitor for endogenous MCP-1 (P8A-MCP-1) improved clinical signs of arthritis and histological scores measuring joint destruction, synovial lining, macrophage infiltration, and bone erosion. Using immunohistochemistry, ELISA, real-time RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis, we defined joint inflammation, bony erosion, monocyte migration, proinflammatory cytokines, and bone markers, and p-p38 levels were reduced in rat AIA treated with P8A-MCP-1. In contrast, neither the dominant-negative inhibitor for endogenous RANTES (AANA-RANTES) nor the CCR1/CCR5 receptor antagonist, methionylated-RANTES, had an effect on clinical signs of arthritis when administered after disease onset. Additionally, therapy with the combination of AANA-RANTES plus P8A-MCP-1 did not ameliorate AIA beyond the effect observed using P8A-MCP-1 alone. Treatment with P8A-MCP-1 reduced joint TNF-α, IL-1β, and vascular endothelial growth factor levels. P8A-MCP-1 also decreased p38 MAPK activation in the joint. Our results indicate that inhibition of MCP-1 with P8A-MCP-1 after the onset of clinically detectable disease ameliorates AIA and decreases macrophage accumulation, cytokine expression, and p38 MAPK activation within the joint.
