Abstract:
Deciphering immunopathogenesis, expanding the scope of diagnostics and developing new methods for treating human autoimmune diseases are among the priority areas of XXI century medicine. Particularly widely autoimmune pathology is presented in immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases (IIRD), such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, systemic vasculitis associated with the synthesis of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies, Sjogren's syndrome, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies and other other types of others. Deciphering the pathogenesis mechanisms of IIRD created the prerequisites for improving pharmacotherapy, which in the future should lead to a dramatic improvement in the prognosis for these diseases. The review discusses new approaches to IIRD pharmacotherapy associated with the inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, IL-17, IL-23, and the prospects for using Janus kinase inhibitors, depending on the prevailing pathogenesis mechanisms - autoimmunity or autoinflammation.
