Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly debilitating chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease most prevalent in women. The true etiology of this disease is complex, multifactorial, and is yet to be completely elucidated. However, oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are associated with the development and pathogenesis of RA. In this case, oxidative damage biomarkers have been found to be significantly higher in RA patients, associated with the oxidation of biomolecules and the stimulation of inflammatory responses. Lipid peroxidation is one of the major consequences of oxidative stress, with the formation of deleterious lipid hydroperoxides and electrophilic reactive lipid species. Additionally, changes in the lipoprotein profile seem to be common in RA, contributing to cardiovascular diseases and a chronic inflammatory environment. Nevertheless, changes in the lipid profile at a molecular level in RA are still poorly understood. Therefore, the goal of this review was to gather all the information regarding lipid alterations in RA analyzed by mass spectrometry. Studies on the variation of lipid profile in RA using lipidomics showed that fatty acid and phospholipid metabolisms, especially in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are affected in this disease. These promising results could lead to the discovery of new diagnostic lipid biomarkers for early diagnosis of RA and targets for personalized medicine.

This study was aimed to investigate the effects of miR-218-5p on the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs), and the related mechanisms. Quantitative reverse transcription–PCR showed that the expression of miR-218-5p in rheumatoid arthritis synovial tissue was significantly higher than that in healthy synovial tissue. Compared with healthy synovial fibroblasts, miR-218-5p expression was obviously upregulated in RASFs, while KLF9 protein expression was markedly downregulated. Mechanistically, miR-218-5p could directly bind to the 3′ untranslated region of KLF9 to inhibit the expression of KLF9. Additionally, transfection of miR-218-5p small interfering RNA (siRNA) inhibited the proliferation but promoted apoptosis and autophagy of RASFs. Simultaneously, miR-218-5p silencing reduced reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde levels and increased superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity to improve oxidative stress in RASFs. More importantly, the introduction of KLF9 siRNA reversed the effects of miR-218-5p siRNA transfection on RASF proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy, and oxidative stress. What is more, silencing miR-218-5p inhibited the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway by targeting KLF9. Collectively, knockdown of miR-218-5p could regulate the proliferation, apoptosis, autophagy and oxidative stress of RASFs by increasing the expression of KLF9 and inhibiting the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, which may provide a potential target for the mechanism research of RA.

Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by chronic, uncontrolled joint inflammation and tissue destruction. Macrophages are thought to be key mediators in both the initiation and perpetuation of this pathology.1,2The RA synovium contains a complex inflammatory milieu that can stimulate macrophage-dependent production of proinflammatory cytokines through multiple signaling pathways.1,2Existing evidence indicates that toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1R) along with their agonists, damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and IL-1β, are highly expressed in RA joints and are important mediators of synovial macrophage activation and proinflammatory cytokine production.1-9IRAK4 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4) is a serine/threonine kinase that facilitates TLR and IL-1R signaling in many cell types, including macrophages.10IRAK4 inhibition represents an opportunity to reduce proinflammatory cytokine production in the joints of patients with RA.Objectives:To investigate the effect of a highly selective IRAK4 inhibitor on proinflammatory cytokine production from human macrophages stimulated with synovial fluid from patients with RA.Methods:Primary human monocytes from 2 independent donors were differentiated for 6 days with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) to generate human monocyte-derived macrophages (hMDMs). hMDMs were then pretreated with an IRAK4 inhibitor for 1 hour and subsequently stimulated for 24 hours with RA synovial fluid from 5 patients. Culture supernatants were then assessed for secretion of proinflammatory cytokines by MesoScale Discovery.Results:RA synovial fluid stimulation of hMDMs resulted in the production of several proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα. Pretreatment of hMDMs with an IRAK4 inhibitor resulted in the dose-dependent inhibition of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα production, with an average EC50± SD of 27 ± 31, 26 ± 41, and 28 ± 22 nM, respectively. Maximal percent suppression ± SD of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα were 76 ± 8.8, 73 ± 15, and 77 ± 13, respectively. To evaluate the specific IRAK4-dependent signaling pathways mediating this response, hMDMs were pretreated with inhibitors of TLR4 (TAK242) and IL-1R (IL-1RA) prior to stimulation with RA synovial fluid. Both TAK242 and IL-1RA inhibited proinflammatory cytokine production. For TAK242, maximal percent suppression ± SD of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα were 39 ± 25, 48 ± 24, and 50 ± 21, respectively. For IL-1RA maximal percent suppression ± SD of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα were 18 ± 18, 20 ± 23, and 16 ± 18, respectively. The broad range of inhibition across each stimulation highlights the complexity and variability in the signaling pathways mediating proinflammatory cytokine production from hMDMs stimulated with RA synovial fluid, but demonstrates that RA synovial fluid can stimulate proinflammatory cytokine production in hMDMs, at least partly, through IRAK4-dependent pathways.Conclusion:This work demonstrates that IRAK4 inhibition can suppress proinflammatory cytokine production from macrophages stimulated with synovial fluid from patients with RA and supports a potential pathophysiological role for IRAK4 in perpetuating chronic inflammation in RA.References:[1]Smolen JS, et al.Nat Rev Dis Primers.2018;4:18001.[2]Udalova IA, et al.Nat Rev Rheumatol.2016;12(8):472-485.[3]Joosten LAB, et al.Nat Rev Rheumatol.2016;12(6):344-357.[4]Huang QQ, Pope RM.Curr Rheumatol Rep.2009;11(5):357-364.[5]Roh JS, Sohn DH.Immune Netw.2018;18(4):e27.[6]Sacre SM, et al.Am J Pathol.2007;170(2):518-525.[7]Ultaigh SNA, et al.Arthritis Res Ther.2011;13(1):R33.[8]Bottini N, Firestein GS.Nat Rev Rheumatol.2013;9(1):24-33.[9]Firestein GS, McInnes IB.Immunity.2017;46(2):183-196.[10]Janssens S, Beyaert R.Mol Cell.2003;11(2):293-302.Disclosure of Interests:Adam Yadon Employee of: Gilead, Debbie Ruelas Employee of: Gilead, Gundula Min-Oo Employee of: Gilead, James Taylor Employee of: Gilead, Matthew R.

Background: Oxidative stress (OS) has an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). OS causes protein modification, thereby impairing the biological functions of the protein. This study was conducted to assess the oxidatively modified protein as protein carbonyl content and the antioxidant status as protein thiols, and to study the association between protein carbonyls and protein thiols in RA.Methods: Newly diagnosed RA patients who were not taking any disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were included into the study group (n=45) along with age and sex matched healthy controls (n=45). Serum protein carbonyl content and protein thiols were estimated.Results: Elevated protein carbonyl content and decreased protein thiol levels (p<0.001) were observed in RA. A significant negative correlation was observed between protein carbonyl content and protein thiol levels (p<0.001).Conclusions: Oxidative stress in RA is evidenced by enhanced protein oxidation and decreased antioxidant protein thiol levels. Decreased protein thiols may also reflect protein modifications leading to compromise in the antioxidant properties. This oxidant and antioxidant imbalance needs to be addressed by therapeutic interventions to prevent disease progression.
