## Abstract ## Objective There is increasing evidence that the RhoA signaling pathway may play a critical role in the inflammatory response. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of RhoA and its downstream effector Rho kinase (ROK) in synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
In cirrhosis, increased RhoA/Rho-kinase signaling and decreased nitric oxide (NO) availability contribute to increased intrahepatic resistance and portal hypertension. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) regulate intrahepatic resistance. 3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins)
