Gene therapy offers a promising alternative for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment, providing sustained delivery of anti-inflammatory agents. This review covers preclinical and clinical advancements in arthritis gene therapy, highlighting future directions.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Biotechnology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease causing joint inflammation, cartilage/bone degradation, and potential systemic complications.
  • Current biological agents for RA are effective but require frequent administration.
  • Gene transfer presents a novel approach for sustained, targeted delivery of therapeutic agents for arthritis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status of preclinical and clinical gene therapy for arthritis.
  • To summarize the advantages and disadvantages of various vectors, target cells, and therapeutic genes.
  • To outline future directions in arthritis gene therapy research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of preclinical studies in animal models (mouse, rat, rabbit, horse).

  • Analysis of Phase I clinical trial data.
  • Synthesis of information on different gene therapy components (vectors, cells, genes).

    • Main Results:

    • Gene transfer efficacy demonstrated in multiple animal models of arthritis.
    • Feasibility of arthritis gene therapy supported by Phase I clinical trial results.
    • Ongoing development of diverse vectors, target cells, and therapeutic genes.

    Conclusions:

    • Gene therapy is a viable and advancing treatment strategy for rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Further research and clinical trials are essential to optimize gene therapy approaches for arthritis.
    • The field of arthritis gene therapy holds significant potential for improved patient outcomes.
