OBJECTIVE: As anaemia represents a biomarker for increased radiographic damage in rheumatoid arthritis, we aimed to investigate whether it independently predicts spinal radiographic progression in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). METHODS: AxSpA patients with available haemoglobin levels from the prospective Swiss Clinical Quality Management Registry were included for comparison of patients with and without anaemia. Spinal radiographic progression was assessed according to the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score (mSASSS) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) if ≥ 2 sets of spinal radiographs were available every 2 years...

INTRODUCTION/OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease affecting around 1% of the population in developed countries and can be treated with leflunomide. The higher prevalence of RA among women and numerous previous studies suggested the crucial role of sex hormones. Cytochrome CYB5A regulates the synthesis of androgens. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the association between common CYB5A gene polymorphism and the response to leflunomide in women with RA. METHODS: This study included 111 patients...

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) is a protein encoded by the NOD2 gene and plays an important role in the immune system. NOD2 is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor (PRR) responsible for the recognition of pathogens as well as the activation of many biochemical processes within cells of the host immune system. Mutations of the NOD2 gene can significantly impact the host's immune response against a variety of pathogens. In addition to immunodeficiency, mutations of the NOD2 gene have also been linked with several atopic diseases and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease (CD)...

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic joint inflammation. Methotrexate is one of the most effective drugs for rheumatoid arthritis, but the adverse reactions caused by oral methotrexate greatly limit its clinical application. Transdermal drug delivery system is an ideal alternative to oral methotrexate by absorbing drugs into the human body through the skin. However, methotrexate in the existing methotrexate microneedles is mostly used alone, and there are few reports of combined use with other anti-inflammatory drugs...

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether sex or age modify the association of glucocorticoid (GC) use with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: We studied cross-sectional data of RA patients with current or previous GC treatment in a single center cohort study (Rh-GIOP cohort). Our primary outcome was the minimum T-score (measured by DXA) of either lumbar spine, total femur, or femoral neck. Current GC dose was the main exposure; cumulative GC dose and cumulative duration of GC use were also assessed...

BACKGROUND: High-temperature requirement serine protease A 2 (HtrA2) is known to be involved in growth, unfolded protein response to stress, apoptosis, and autophagy. However, whether HtrA2 controls inflammation and immune response remains elusive. METHODS: Expression of HtrA2 in the synovial tissue of patients was examined using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine the concentrations of HtrA2, interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα)...

BACKGROUND: In patients with rheumatic diseases, the use of biological (b) or targeted synthetic (ts) disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) after discontinuation of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) is known to be effective. However, data on the use of TNFi after discontinuation of non-TNFi bDMARDs or tsDMARDs (non-TNFi) are scarce. This study assessed the 4-years golimumab retention in patients with rheumatic diseases when used after discontinuation of non-TNFi. METHODS: Adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 72), psoriatic arthritis (PsA; n = 30) or axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA; n = 23) who initiated golimumab after discontinuation of non-TNFi from the Spanish registry of biological drugs (BIOBADASER) were analyzed retrospectively...

BACKGROUND: The risk of developing late radiotoxicity after radiotherapy in patients with high chromosomal radiosensitivity after radiotherapy could potentially be higher compared to the risk in patients with average radiosensitivity. In case of extremely high radiosensitivity, dose reduction may be appropriate. Some rheumatic diseases (RhD), including connective tissue diseases (CTDs) appear to be associated with higher radiosensitivity. The question arises as to whether patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) also generally have a higher radiosensitivity and whether certain parameters could indicate clues to high radiosensitivity in RA patients which would then need to be further assessed before radiotherapy...

BACKGROUND: Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3) inhibits T cell activation and interferes with the immune response by binding to MHC-II. As antigen presentation is central in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, we studied aspects of LAG-3 as a serological marker and mediator in the pathogenesis of RA. Since Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is described as an additional binding partner for LAG-3, we also aimed to study the functional importance of this interaction. METHODS: Plasma levels of soluble (s) LAG-3 were measured in early RA patients (eRA, n = 99) at baseline and after 12 months on a treat-to-target protocol, in self-reportedly healthy controls (HC, n = 32), and in paired plasma and synovial fluid (SF) from chronic RA patients (cRA, n = 38)...

Baricitinib is a Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor that is primarily used to treat moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in adults and has recently been reported for the treatment of patients with severe COVID-19. This paper describes the investigation of the binding behavior of baricitinib to human α1-acid glycoprotein (HAG) employing a variety of spectroscopic techniques, molecular docking and dynamics simulations. Baricitinib can quench the fluorescence from amino acids in HAG through a mix of dynamic and static quenching, according to steady-state fluorescence and UV spectra observations, but it is mainly static quenching at low concentration...
