Osteoblast role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis.

Molecular biology reports·2021

The neuroendocrine-immune system interaction is key to understanding rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. New theories suggest corticosteroid (CS) insufficiency in RA, prompting a re-evaluation of CS therapy and exploration of alternative treatments.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Endocrinology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • The nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are intricately interconnected.
  • Understanding these interactions is crucial for autoimmune disease pathogenesis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
  • Emerging theories propose hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction leading to corticosteroid (CS) insufficiency in RA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the role of neuroendocrine-immune interactions in RA.
  • To investigate the implications of corticosteroid (CS) insufficiency in RA pathogenesis.
  • To evaluate the therapeutic potential of CS and alternative treatments in RA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies on neuroendocrine-immune system interactions.
  • Analysis of theories regarding hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response in RA.

  • Consideration of new therapeutic agents like anti-TNF and biohumoral markers.

    • Main Results:

    • A strong correlation exists between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems.
    • RA may involve an inadequate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, causing CS insufficiency.
    • Recent findings question the benefits of CS on joint damage, highlighting anti-TNF agents and new markers like cartilage oligomeric matrix protein.

    Conclusions:

    • Neuroendocrine-immune system crosstalk is vital for RA understanding and treatment.
    • Corticosteroid (CS) insufficiency is a potential factor in RA, necessitating re-evaluation of CS therapy.
    • Alternative therapies, including anti-TNF agents and novel biomarkers, offer promising avenues for RA management.
