Systematic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed were conducted up to September 2020. Double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of licensed treatments conducted on completely naïve or MTX-naïve RA patients were included. Long-term extension studies, post-hoc and pooled analyses and RCTs with no comparator arm were excluded. Serious adverse events, serious infections and non-serious adverse events were extracted from all RCTs, and event rates in intervention and comparator arms were compared using meta-analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA).

Accumulating evidence underlines a close association between a metabolic reprogramming of activated fibroblasts and fibrosis. This prompted us to determine the metabolism of SSc dermal fibroblasts and the effect on the vasculopathy characterizing the disease.

Treatment with golimumab monotherapy in early peripheral SpA (pSpA) results in higher rates of clinical remission compared with treatment in more longstanding disease. When reaching remission, treat-to-target recommendations suggest tapering of treatment. We therefore explored whether addition of MTX would permit discontinuation of golimumab in patients with pSpA in sustained clinical remission.

Direct inhibition of M1 polarization of synovial macrophages may be a useful therapeutic treatment for OA and OA-associated synovitis. Frugoside (FGS) is a cardiac glycoside compound isolated and extracted from Calotropis gigantea. Cardiac glycosides possess interesting anti-inflammatory potential. However, the corresponding activity of FGS has not been reported. Therefore, our aim was to find direct evidence of the effects of FGS on synovial macrophage M1 polarization and OA control.

Both innate and adaptive immune responses are reportedly increased in Behçet’s disease (BD), a chronic, relapsing systemic vasculitis lying at the intersection between autoinflammation and autoimmunity. To further study pathophysiologic molecular mechanisms operating in BD, we searched for transcriptome-wide changes in blood mononuclear cells from these patients.

Microcrystal-induced arthritis is still an unresolved paradigm for medicine. Overt inflammation may be absent even when crystals occur in SF. Recently, the production of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) embedding MSU crystals has been proposed as a possible mechanism of the auto-resolution of the inflammatory phase during gout. We aimed to verify and quantify the release of NETs in SFs during gout and pseudogout attacks and to compare any differences with respect to crystals and neutrophils number, and to analyse activation of necroptosis pathway in SF from crystal-induced arthritis.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibro-inflammatory disorder characterized by a dysregulated resolution of inflammation and wound healing response that might develop after an apoptotic insult induced by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (MerTK) and its ligand, protein S (ProS1), have a pivotal role in the resolution of inflammation, being implicated in the clearance of apoptotic cells, quenching of the immune response and development of tissue fibrosis. In the present work we aimed to investigate a possible involvement of the MerTK signalling pathway in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD and development of tissue fibrosis.
