Some autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are preceded by a critical subclinical phase of disease activity. Proactive clinical management is hampered by a lack of biological understanding of this subclinical 'at-risk' state and the changes underlying disease development. In a cross-sectional and longitudinal multi-omics study of peripheral immunity in the autoantibody-positive at-risk for RA period, we identified systemic inflammation, proinflammatory-skewed B cells, expanded Tfh17-like cells, epigenetic bias in naive T cells, TNF+IL1B+ monocytes resembling a synovial macrophage population, and CD4 T cell transcriptional features resembling those suppressed by abatacept (CTLA4-Ig) in RA patients.

The generation and maintenance of protective immunity is a dynamic interplay between host and environment that is impacted by age. Understanding fundamental changes in the healthy immune system that occur over a lifespan is critical in developing interventions for age-related susceptibility to infections and diseases. Here, we use multi-omic profiling (scRNA-seq, proteomics, flow cytometry) to examined human peripheral immunity in over 300 healthy adults, with 96 young and older adults followed over two years with yearly vaccination.

Article Synopsis
  • This study aimed to analyze how common existing joint bone issues are in patients with hip or knee pain from osteoarthritis (OA) who were screened for fasinumab clinical trials.
  • Out of 27,633 screened participants, 21,997 underwent imaging, and 5.5% were excluded due to severe articular bone problems noted in X-rays or MRIs, such as bone fragmentation and osteonecrosis.
  • The results suggest that around 5% of OA patients who qualified for the clinical trials ended up being excluded because of serious preexisting joint conditions detected during imaging tests.
