[Basic studies on chronic polyarthritis as a collagen-autoimmune disease].

C Steffen

    Zeitschrift Fur Rheumatologie
    |May 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may be a collagen auto-immune disease. Evidence shows collagen antibodies and immune complexes in RA patients induce inflammation and experimental arthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Rheumatology
    • Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder.
    • The pathogenesis of RA involves complex immune system dysregulation.
    • Previous research has explored various autoimmune triggers in RA.

    Purpose:

    • To review clinical and experimental evidence supporting a hypothesis of RA as a collagen auto-immune disease.
    • To consolidate findings on collagen-related immune responses in RA patients.
    • To examine the role of collagen-anticollagen complexes in RA pathogenesis.

    Summary:

    • Evidence reviewed includes rheumatoid synovial collagenase, collagen antibodies in serum and synovial fluid, and collagen inclusion bodies.
    • Collagen-anticollagen immune complexes found in RA synovial fluid cells and fluid demonstrate in vitro inflammatory effects.
    • These complexes induce experimental arthritis, and their relationship with rheumatoid factors and pathogenic aggregates is discussed.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive review supporting the collagen auto-immune hypothesis for rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Highlights the potential role of collagen-specific immune responses in RA development and progression.
    • Suggests potential therapeutic targets related to collagen autoimmunity in RA management.
