A comprehensive microarray analysis of human leukocytes identified DUSP2 (encoding the phosphatase PAC-1) as one of the most highly induced transcripts in activated immune cells. We generated Dusp2(-/-) mice and found considerably reduced inflammatory responses in the 'K/BxN' model of rheumatoid arthritis. PAC- ...[more]
