Arachidonic Acid Metabolism Down-Regulation-Mediated Tumor Necrosis Factor Signaling Contributes to Cutaneous Fibrosis and Skull Hyperplasia in Goldfish Hoods by Liang-Liang Li, Qi-Lin Xu, Wen-Jing Yi, Di-Di Ma, Hui Jin, De-Zheng Fu, Xiao-Li Yang, Yang Wang, Zhi Li, Zhong-Wei Wang, Xi-Yin Li, Meng Lu, Xiao-Juan Zhang, Li Zhou, Jian-Fang Gui, Peng Yu

“…Furthermore, we found that the down-regulation of arachidonic acid metabolism triggers an inflammatory response, culminating in the dysregulation of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) pathway, which in turn enhances collagen deposition and epithelial cell proliferation—central to hood morphogenesis. During post-formation process, the aberrant TNF pathway expression and collagen accumulation inhibit osteoclast differentiation, promoting the irregular proliferation of the skull and the formation of bony protrusions that support hood attachment. …”
