Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease of the joints mediated by immune cells. As an immune-related mode of cell death, pyroptosis has yet to be fully understood in RA. This research identified novel pyroptosis-related markers in RA and confirmed its functional significance in RA.

Eupalinolide B alleviates rheumatoid arthritis through the promotion of apoptosis and autophagy via regulating the AMPK/mTOR/ULK-1 signaling axis.

The excessive proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) leads to synovial hyperplasia, a key pathological hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Eupalinolide B (EB), a sesquiterpene lactone of Eupatorium lindleyanum DC., has anti-inflammatory effects and anti-proliferative activity in tumor cells.

Silencing aquaporin 1 inhibits autophagy to exert anti-rheumatoid arthritis effects in TNF-α-induced fibroblast-like synoviocytes and adjuvant-induced arthritis rats.

Objective: Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are key players in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by resisting apoptosis via increased autophagy. Elevated synovial aquaporin 1 (AQP1) affects RA FLS behaviors, but its relationship with FLS autophagy is unclear. We aim to clarify that silencing AQP1 inhibits autophagy to exert its anti-RA effects.
