Abstract:
Abstract Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease affecting the immune system and it particularly targets synovial joints, bringing about inflammation and causing functional limitations. Objective: To explore the evidence showing the influence of early menopause in women with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: In this systematic review, all the literature from 2010 to 2019 was searched with specific keywords “menopause, premature menopause, early menopause, rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatic diseases” with the use of Boolean operators. Databases that were thoroughly searched included Google Scholar, PubMed and HEC digital library. After careful screening, 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the review. The quality of these articles was assessed using the AXIS tool for that cross-sectional studies. Results: These studies indicated that post-menopausal women are at higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis and they are more likely to have early or premature menopause (in ≤45 years). At baseline, the post-menopausal women had high health assessment questionnaire scores than pre-menopausal women. Conclusion: This review states that menopausal women are highly at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, especially those experiencing this at an early age and this condition can also worsen arthritic symptoms. Hormonal changes may influence pathways that are distinct from those leading to severe and progressive rheumatoid arthritis. *Corresponding author: Zehra Kazmi, University Institute of Physical Therapy, University of Lahore, Lahore, Pakistan; Email: zaza.kazmi110@gmail.com Citation: Kazmi Z. 2021.

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that can cause joint pain and damage throughout your body. About 75% of Rheumatoid arthritis patients are women. In fact, 1 – 3% of women may get rheumatoid arthritis in their lifetime. The disease most often begins between the ages of 30 and 50. Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround your joints. The resulting inflammation thickens the synovium, which can eventually destroy the cartilage and bone within the joint. The tendons and ligaments that hold the joint together weaken and stretch. Gradually, the joint loses its shape and alignment. It also affects other organs of body like: skin, eyes, heart, kidneys, and lungs. The main risk factors that cause Rheumatoid arthritis are Age, Gender, Genetics, weight, smoking, diet, etc. Three main ways to treat rheumatoid arthritis are Drugs, physical therapies and surgery. There are four main groups of drugs that are used to treat rheumatoid arthritis are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs , disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs and steroids (also known as corticosteroids). Collagen induced arthritis and Adjuvant arthritis are the most commonly used standard animal models in Rheumatoid arthritis. This literature review assessed the sign & symptoms, risk factors, etiology, treatment and standard animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis. Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis, Inflammation, Antirheumatic drugs, Adjuvants, Rat, Mice.

Abstract:
Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis is a common chronic inflammatory disease with substantial economic, social, and personal costs. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and complex. The ultimate goal of rheumatoid arthritis treatment is stopping or slowing down the disease progression. In the past two decades, invention of new medicines, especially biologic agents, revolutionized the management of this disease. These agents have been associated with an improved prognosis and clinical remission, especially in patients who did not respond to traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Improvement in the understanding of the rheumatoid arthritis pathogenesis leads to the development of novel biologic therapeutic approaches. In the present paper, we summarized the current therapeutics, especially biologic agents, available for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to perform a general analysis of relevant literature on the issue of kidney damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Kidney damage in patients with rheumatic diseases is potentially dangerous, as it can lead to the development of terminal renal failure that may require replacement renal therapy. Amyloidosis often leads to kidney failure in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Renal amyloidosis more often develops in patients with acute course of rheumatoid arthritis and under maximal immunological disorders. In patients with renal amyloidosis against the background of rheumatoid arthritis, manifestations of joint affection decrease, while the renal-uremic syndrome takes a predominant role. Signs of nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal failure develop gradually. Kidney damage can be caused by medications for rheumatoid arthritis. The choice of the optimal scheme of individual-centred therapy is vitally important for patients, since every aggravation of both rheumatic disease and secondary renal damage leads to the progression of chronic renal failure.

Abstract:
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is commonly involved in various immune-mediated rheumatic disorders accounting for significant disability and impaired quality of life. The aim of our study was to assess inflammatory and immune parameters in patients with TMJ arthritis related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and to identify potential relation with severity and dysfunction of TMJ pathology. We performed a cross-sectional study in a cohort of 433 consecutive RA, 32 JIA, 258 AS, and 103 PsA. Only patients presenting with clinically significant TMJ involvement (273) related to their rheumatic condition were included in the final analysis. TMJ involvement is traditionally described in chronic inflammatory rheumatic disorders, particularly in patients with higher levels of inflammation as detected in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Disease activity and severity, as well as biological and positive serological assessments (rheumatoid factor, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide, IL-1) remain significant determinants of the severity of TMJ arthritis.

Abstract:
The role played by HCV in the genesis of many autoimmune disorders has been reported in several studies. In particular, the onset of arthritis has been described in about 2–3% of HCV infection cases. At present, this HCV-related arthritis is classified as a reactive arthritis, but a real distinction of this form from classical rheumatoid arthritis is often difficult. In this presentation, the Authors distinguish two arthritic forms observed in HCV-related arthritis patients: one, characterized by asymmetrical oligoarticular-involvement, and another, with poly-articular symmetrical involvement. The Authors suggest that the latter can be considered as a form of rheumatoid arthritis, because of the similarity of the main clinical aspects and laboratory findings (rheumatoid factor, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies) to those of classical rheumatoid arthritis, which make the two forms indistinguishable. Therefore, HCV could be considered the etiologic agent of a limited number of cases of rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease that can affect many joints simultaneously and whose etiology is unknown. Septic arthritis is suppurative inflammation caused frequently by bacteria and rarely by mycetes. In the event that diagnosis is late and treatment is inadequate, it can cause joint and bone damage that can affect a person for lifetime. For this reason, it should be always considered as an emergency. Septic arthritis is commonly notified in rheumatoid arthritis patients. In this presentation a case that is followed with rheumatois arthritis diagnosis for 2 years and having septic arthritis in oligoarthritis etiology developed during the treatment is presented.

Abstract:
Plectranthus amboinicus(P. amboinicus) is a folk herb that is used to treat inflammatory diseases or swelling symptoms in Taiwan. We investigated therapeutic efficacy ofP. amboinicusin treating Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) using collagen-induced arthritis animal model. Arthritis was induced in Lewis rats by immunization with bovine type II collagen. Serum anti-collagen IgG, IgM and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed. To understand the inflammation condition of treated animals, production of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β from peritoneal exudates cells (PEC) were also analyzed.P. amboinicussignificantly inhibited the footpad swelling and arthritic symptoms in collagen-induced arthritic rats, while the serum anti-collagen IgM and CRP levels were consistently decreased. The production of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were also decreased in the high dosage ofP. amboinicusgroup. Here, we demonstrate the potential anti-arthritic effect ofP. amboinicusfor treating RA, which might confer its anti-rheumatic activity. This differs the pharmacological action mode of indomethacin.

Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (a chronic inflammatory disease) in comparison to a control group with osteoarthritis (a chronic non-inflammatory degenerative disease) and to identify the sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with depressive symptoms in these patients. METHOD: Sixty-two rheumatoid arthritis patients and 60 osteoarthritis patients participated in the study. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire were applied. RESULTS: The prevalence of depressive symptoms was of 53.2% in rheumatoid arthritis and 28.3% in osteoarthritis (p = 0.005). The prevalence of anxiety symptoms was of 48.4% in rheumatoid arthritis and 50.0% in osteoarthritis (p = 0.859). The mean (and standard deviation) scores in the Disability Index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire were 1.4 (0.8) in rheumatoid arthritis and 1.4 (0.6) in osteoarthritis (p = 0.864). Rheumatoid arthritis patients with depressive symptoms had lower education and higher disease activity and functional disability. CONCLUSION: Although these two rheumatic diseases are similar in terms of the pain and functional disability that they cause, a significantly higher prevalence of depressive symptoms was found in rheumatoid arthritis patients. This difference might be explained by the hypothesis of a neuroimmunobiological mechanism related to cytokines in inflammatory diseases, which has been considered as a candidate to the development of depressive symptoms.

Abstract:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used for pain and to slow the progression of rheumatoid arthritis. Accordingly, the discovery of rheumatoid arthritis active compounds from the ethanol-water fraction Coleus atropurpureus (EWC) was conducted to characterize the isolated compounds as well as the anti-rheumatic effects of the EWC induced Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA). We conducted in vivo study in rats which were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1 was only given CFA as a negative control. Group 2 as positive control was orally exposed to diclofenac potassium (9 mg/BW). Three groups were given different EWCs orally as follows: 11.25 mg/BW, 22.5 mg/BW, and 45 mg/BW, respectively. Rheumatism rates were then compared with positive controls using a visual arthritic scoring system. The compounds identified by isolation of the EWC of Coleus atropurpureus predicted forskolin. The ethanol-water fraction Coleus atropurpureus did not act as an anti-rheumatic arthritis agent in CFA-induced rats.

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease, which affects about 0.33 to 2.65% of the population. In RA Synovium contain various type of immune cell. In which only one cell population cannot cause rheumatoid arthritis that requires more than one cell population. In normal condition, they act as a switch (active or inactive the cell signaling). It controls cell growth, proliferation or metastasizes. In an autoimmune disorder such as rheumatoid arthritis, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the body's cells and tissues. Mostly cells are present in limited numbers in normal human synovium, but in rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases, this population can expand to constitute 5-20% or more of all synovial cells. Recent investigations in a murine model have demonstrated that cells can have a critical role in the generation of inflammation within the joint.

Abstract:
Advances in understanding the biology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have opened new therapeutic avenues. One of these, gene therapy, involves the delivery to patients of genes encoding anti-arthritic proteins. This approach has shown efficacy in animal models of RA, and the first human, phase I trial has just been successfully completed. Hand surgery featured prominently in this pioneering study, as a potentially anti-arthritic gene encoding the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist was transferred to the metacarpophalangeal joints of subjects with RA one week before total joint arthroplasty. This study has confirmed that it is possible to transfer genes safely to human joints. It should pave the way for additional application of gene therapy to arthritis and other orthopaedic conditions.

Abstract:
This type of research is cross sectional, this study aims to determine the factors that influence the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly at Pematangsiantar Public Health Center. The subjects of this study were the elderly with a sample of 99 respondents. Data collection tools are questionnaires to answer questions and observation sheets. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disorder in the form of stiffness, swelling, pain and redness in the joints and surrounding tissues. Joint sufferers around the world have reached the number, especially in Indonesia, rheumatoid arthritis reaches 23.6% to 31.3%. This figure shows that the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis is high. There are several factors that influence the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly, namely, genetics, obesity, food and activity/work. This genetic factor influences the occurrence of rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly at Pematangsiantar Public Health Center.

Abstract:
Rheumatic diseases are not fatal, but they result in shorter life expectancy of the patients suffering from them. This applies to all inflammatory rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Rheumatic diseases, in which most of all the joint inflammatory process develops with progressive joint damage, are the cause of patients’ disability, prevent patients from working and everyday functioning, also at home, and affect all aspects of social life. The objective of rehabilitation in RA is to relieve pain, reduce or inhibit inflammation, and maintain the proper functioning of the locomotor system while slowing down or ceasing structural lesions in the joints.

Abstract:
Currently, the list of microorganisms that have a possible connection with the development of rheumatoid arthritis continues to be updated. The role of not only traditional pathogens, but also representatives of conditionally pathogenic microflora is being actively studied. A number of domestic and foreign works demonstrate a high degree of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis.The aim of the present study is to identify the frequency of detection of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in adult residents of the city of Tula.Material and methods. The study included 3288 residents of Tula who do not have rheumatic diseases, and 119 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To detect the infection, FEGDS was performed according to the generally accepted method with the taking of biopsies of the mucous membrane of the antrum and the stomach body, followed by verification of Helicobacter pylori using the Helpil-test test system.Results. According to the results of the data on the infection rate of residents of Tula without rheumatic diseases (n=3288), the largest percentage of infected (78.8%) was detected by an invasive method – express diagnosis of urease activity of the biopsy. The detection rate using a respiratory ammonia test and serological method was lower and amounted to 51.1 and 49.3%, respectively. In total, H. pylori was detected in 1692 people, which was 51.46%. Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Helicobacter pylori infection was 81.5%. Signs of damage to the mucous membrane of the upper gastrointestinal tract were often detected: superficial and subatrophic gastritis, single erosions.Conclusions. 1. Based on the study, it was found that the infection rate of Helicobacter pylori in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is at a fairly high level, not significantly different from that in residents without rheumatic diseases, when examined by an invasive method – express diagnosis of urease activity of the biopsy (81.5% and 78.8%, respectively). 2. Among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there was a tendency to increase the frequency of infection with age and peak values in older age groups (r=0.37; p<0.05). 3. The frequency of detection of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract in infected and uninfected Helicobacter pylori patients with rheumatoid arthritis significantly differed (42.2 and 13.6%) (p=0.03). Key words: Tula population, rheumatoid arthritis, Helicobacter pylori infection>˂ 0.05). 3. The frequency of detection of erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract in infected and uninfected Helicobacter pylori patients with rheumatoid arthritis significantly differed (42.2 and 13.6%) (p=0.03).

Abstract:
Hypertension or high blood pressure (BP) is a long-term ailment in which blood pressure in the arteries raises persistently. Blood pressure can be determined using two methods, systolic pressure which is the uppermost pressure and diastolic pressure which is the lowermost blood pressure in the arterial system. It is estimated that worldwide around 1.13 billion persons are suffering from hypertension. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that 13% of all deaths in the world are caused by hypertension. Furthermore, they set a target to reduce its frequency by 25% from the year 2010 to 2025.1,2 Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and pain. Approximately 1% of the global population is diagnosed with this disease. Rheumatoid arthritis can be associated with multiple comorbidities that can reduce a patient's quality of life (QoL), upturn the economic burden of the disease, and may increase the rate of mortality. Cardiovascular comorbidities are quite common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Cardiovascular comorbidity is estimated to be about 1.5 times more frequent in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than in healthy people. Many studies have suggested that of all cardiovascular disorders, hypertension is the most important and changeable risk factor in subjects suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Based on a pool of 115,867 insurance claims, about 76% of rheumatoid arthritis patients in America were diagnosed with hypertension. These results are similar to studies conducted in Europe and Canada that have shown a higher incidence of hypertension in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to the normal group. It is unknown why patients with rheumatoid arthritis pose such a high risk for hypertension. Reduced physical activity, obesity, systemic inflammation, and medications used to treat rheumatoid arthritis can increase the risk of high blood pressure.3 Around 0.55% of the urban population in northern Pakistan suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, while the incidence rate is close to 0.14% in southern Pakistan.4 There are many reasons why people with rheumatoid arthritis have high blood pressure. Chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis results in increased rigidity of arteries leading to increase systolic blood pressure. The first presumed link between low-grade systemic inflammation and hypertension has been identified in previous studies conducted on the general population. In rheumatoid arthritis, elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) increase the likelihood of developing high blood pressure. Several mechanisms may be implicated in the development of hypertension with a high concentration of C-reactive protein. For example, nitric oxide synthesis may be reduced because of the increased concentration of the C-reactive protein that will cause vasoconstriction, platelet activation and thrombosis. Additionally, increased expression of the type 1 angiotensin receptor and stimulation of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) may contribute to the progression of hypertension. Occasionally, restriction on exercise due to the fear of worsening disease condition is recommended (unwarranted) by healthcare professionals, and it could be a reason for the inactive and sedentary lifestyle of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In turn, physical idleness can lead to obesity, which may be linked independently to high blood pressure in rheumatoid arthritis. Obesity and familial history of hypertension are significant predictors of premature death. A study has also demonstrated that an increase in sodium (Na) intake and a decrease in potassium (K) intake can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure. The urinary Na/K quotient may be useful as an important parameter of hypertension in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and in normal subjects. Optimal cardiovascular risk management continues to be a major challenge. In this regard, increased awareness and management are needed to reduce the high risk of cardiovascular disorders in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To date, only a few studies have investigated the potential relationship between high blood pressure and these factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A lifestyle shift (i.e. exercise, smoking cessation, eating a balanced diet, reducing the use of ethanol and salt) is needed in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis to manage their high blood pressure and improve their quality of life (QoL). To treat rheumatoid arthritis, many medications are routinely prescribed, including cyclooxygenase, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). The use of these drugs in rheumatoid arthritis should always be considered in conjunction with comorbid hypertension. Clinicians should closely monitor such patients for prior diagnosis and, where appropriate, aggressive management of hypertension. Systems for diagnosis, proper treatment, and continuous surveillance of these patients need to be in place in primary and secondary healthcare setups. Furthermore, specially designed clinical trials are required to determine the finest approaches to treat hypertension in patients of rheumatoid arthritis.5-8 References Baharvand-Ahmadi B, Bahmani M, Tajeddini P, Rafieian-Kopaei M, Naghdi N.

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common autoimmune inflammatory arthritis in adults. Pharmacological treatment is quite effective to overcome it, but in some cases, especially in elderly RA sufferers, pharmacological treatment such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids and DMARD (Disease Modifying Antirheumatic Drugs) have an impact on drug side effects, namely gastrointestinal disorders that cause toxic effects on liver and kidney. The developed natural medicine treatment has been supported by several previous studies that provide anti-inflammatory benefits, namely, ginger (Zingiber Officinale Rosc.). Ginger (Zingiber Officinale Rosc.) The method used is descriptive. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of respondents who suffer from rheumathoid arthritic therapy with essential ginger oil and resisted active movement. The results of the study showed that as many as 20 respondents who suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, based on their characteristics, the most were female, namely 16 people (80%, ages 60-75 years, as many as 15 people (75%), the most part of the joints experiencing rheumathoid arthritis. occurred in the knee as many as 9 people (45%), work history, at most not working as many as 8 people (40%), history of injury, there were most injuries as many as 12 people (60%)

Abstract:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory rheumatic disease with unknown etiology characterized by symmetric, chronic and erosive arthritis (synovitis) of the peripheral joints and systemic inflammatory involvement of the viscera. Lung pathology, including interstitial lung disease, is one of the common extra-articular manifestations at the гheumatoid arthritis. The leading diagnosis method of interstitial lung disease is a computed tomography high resolution, which allows to identifying interstitial lung changes in 70% of the cases. The study of prognosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis interstitial lung disease has been the subject of several studies in the past decade. In most studies it was stated that the average life expectancy from diagnosis is around 3 years. This work is devoted to study of interstitial lung disease as one of the most frequent extra-articular ma-nifestations of rheumatoid arthritis. The authors defined the significance of computed tomography high resolu-tion for the diagnosis of pulmonary interstitial lung changes at rheumatoid arthritis. They give comparative clini-cal and immunological, instrumental characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis patients with interstitial lung disease and without it. The role of smoking and positivity of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) according to antibodies are determined as risk factors of interstitial lung disease development in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The interrelation of the X-ray tomography symptom of interstitial lung disease &#34;ground glass opacity&#34; with the activity and duration of rheumatoid arthritis is revealed. &#34;Ground glass opacity&#34; symptom is associated with high index of DAS28 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis with interstitial lung disease.

Abstract:
Abstract The growth of synovial fibroblast-like cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and rats with streptococcal cell wall (SCW)-induced arthritis in vitro under anchorage-independent conditions is inhibited by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta). Because this growth factor is present in rheumatoid synovial fluids, we studied whether this cytokine might be secreted by cells in rheumatoid synovial tissue. We show that synovial tissues from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and rats with SCW-induced arthritis, contain TGF-beta-1 mRNA. TGF-beta, predominantly type 1, was spontaneously secreted in vitro by synovial tissue explants and synovial fibroblast-like cells. In addition, TGF-beta could be detected immunohistochemically in cells throughout rheumatoid and SCW-induced arthritic rat synovial tissues. Finally, exogenous TGF-beta induced collagen and inhibited collagenase mRNA levels by cultured synoviocytes. These data support an autocrine role for TGF-beta in the regulation of synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis and, in light of its demonstrated effects on the immune system, suggest that TGF-beta might also have important paracrine effects on infiltrating inflammatory cells.

Abstract:
Abstract Objective We aimed to determine whether calprotectin and α-defensins could discriminate septic from other inflammatory arthritides. Methods Synovial fluids with a predominance of neutrophils from patients with septic arthritis, pseudogout and RA were prospectively collected. Neutrophil-related proteins calprotectin and human neutrophil α-defensins levels were assessed in synovial fluids. Demographic parameters and biomarkers with P-value ⩽0.05 for differentiating septic from non-septic arthritis were included in a multivariable model. Multivariable logistic regression with stepwise selection was performed to build the final combined model. Results A total of 74 patients were included: septic arthritis (n = 26), pseudogout (n = 28) and RA (n = 20). Patients with septic arthritis were more likely to be male and young, and to display higher synovial neutrophil count. Calprotectin was significantly increased in patients with septic arthritis. The multivariable model included calprotectin, synovial fluid neutrophil count and gender. Calprotectin was the only biomarker that discriminated septic arthritis from non-septic inflammatory arthritides, with 76% sensitivity, 94% specificity and a positive likelihood ratio = 12.2 at the threshold for calprotectin of 150 mg/l. Conclusion Synovial fluid calprotectin is a relevant biomarker to discriminate septic arthritis from other inflammatory arthritides. This biomarker should be tested in an independent cohort.

Abstract:
Abstract PI3Kδ plays an essential role in antigen-receptor signaling, proliferation, activation and function of lymphocytes. Mice deficient in PI3Kδ activity show substantial reduction in immunoglobulin levels, partial impairment in chemoattractant-induced neutrophil migration as well as defects in signaling and function of macrophages. Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a commonly used model for studying antirheumatic drugs, requires participation of both B and T cells to initiate disease and reproduces many of the pathogenic mechanisms detected in human rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we have investigated the ability of IC87114, a selective PI3Kδ inhibitor, to reverse the rheumatoid arthritic like state in the CIA model of arthritis. Clinical arthritis was initiated by immunizing animals with collagen followed by a booster dose on day 7. IC87114 or control treatment was initiated when at least one hind paw was significantly inflamed and continued for an 18-day treatment course. IC87114-treatment of arthritic rats reduced the progression and severity of clinical arthritis that was evident within 6 days after initiation of therapy. IC87114-treatment significantly reduced the level of anti-collagen antibodies. Arthritic rats treated with IC87114 had significantly lower radiographic scores compared with control, indicating that treatment with IC87114 was effective in protecting bone integrity. Histopathological evaluation demonstrated that IC87114 was effective in reducing the histological changes induced by rheumatoid arthritis. The effect of IC87114-treatment on these parameters together suggests a therapeutic potential for PI3Kδ-selective compounds to ameliorate rheumatoid arthritis.
