Inroduction: The results of experimental and clinical studies in recent years indicate that the transplantation of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MMSCs) is a possible approach for the "restoration" of the immune system of patients with autoimmune diseases, in particular, rheumatoid arthritis. However, the strength and duration of the effect vary greatly, which indicates incomplete correction of the tested parameters, thereby opening up the prospect of improving this method of treatment by choosing dose-time parameters and methods of their administration. The aim of this research was to determine the indices of cellular immunity in animals with adjuvant arthritis and therapy with cryopreserved MMSCs derived from adipose and cartilage tissues.

Material And Methods: Adjuvant arthritis in male rats was modeled by subplantar administration of Freund's complete adjuvant. On day 7 of modeling, experimental animals were administered with saline (control group) or cryopreserved MMSCs from adipose or cartilaginous tissue locally or generalized. On day 28 after therapy the body weight, spleen index and cellularity, and content of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD25+ cells in the spleen were determined.

Results: In the control group of animals, the inflammation was pronounced, as evidenced by a significant increase in the studied parameters throughout the observation period. The use of cryopreserved MMSCs from adipose and cartilaginous tissues led to the restoration of T regulatory cells (Treg) on day 28. Generalized administration of cells had a more pronounced therapeutic effect compared to the animals with local administration. These data can be used to justify and develop a therapeutic approach to rheumatoid arthritis in clinical practice.

Conclusions: Cell therapy with cryopreserved MMSCs from investigated sources provided by both local and generalized administration to animals with adjuvant arthritis has a correcting effect on the cellular immunity.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by widespread inflammation and autoantibody production. Its development and progression involve genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have repeatedly identified a susceptibility signal at 16p13, its fine-scale source and its functional and mechanistic role in SLE remain unclear.

Elevated synovial expression of the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM1) has been identified as a significant biomarker for assessing disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The upregulated expression of TREM1, induced by inflammatory mediators in infiltrating macrophages, plays a critical role in synovitis and joint destruction in RA. Our previous sequencing data linked TREM1 activation to aberrant mitophagy.

The NLRP3 inflammasome, plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by activating inflammatory cytokines such as IL1β and IL18. Targeting NLRP3 has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for RA. In this study, a multidisciplinary approach combining machine learning, quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling, structure-activity landscape index (SALI), docking, molecular dynamics (MD), and molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area MM/PBSA assays was employed to identify novel NLRP3 inhibitors.

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation, tissue damage, and fibrosis, significantly affecting the quality of life. While there are currently some effective treatments available, they often come with side effects. There is an urgent need to find new treatments that can further improve therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects.

The p38α-MK2 signaling axis plays an important role in the inflammatory response of cells. Here, we carried out a series of optimizations on CDD-450, aiming to enhance inhibition of the p38α-MK2 complex and improve pharmacokinetic properties. First, the magic F strategy was utilized to obtain compound , which displayed a 60-fold increase in tumor necrosis factor α inhibition and a 600-fold increase in interleukin-6 inhibition.
