The collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) model is highly effective in inducing arthritis, making it an attractive model for screening therapeutic compounds such as glucocorticoids (GCs). The severity of discomfort in this model makes it desirable to administer analgesics, but it is a prerequisite that these do not interfere with the model or tested therapeutics. In the present study, we studied the effect of 1 mg/mL tramadol and 3.5 mg/mL paracetamol (TP) on CAIA in male BALB/cAnNCrl mice and the possible interference of TP analgesia with the activity of the GC drug prednisolone (Pred). Our results showed that TP abolished the Pred-induced amelioration of CAIA, as well as several other Pred-induced effects, such as the reduction in thymus weight and the increase in insulin level. This most likely results from the effects of TP on the hepatic metabolism of this drug, since it strongly increased the expression in the liver. Altogether, we conclude that TP analgesia is not suitable for the CAIA model in male BALB/cAnNCrl mice, in particular when evaluating the effects of GCs such as Pred.

Recognizing the need for innovative therapeutic approaches in the management of autoimmune diseases , our current investigation explores the potential of autologous extracellular vesicles (EVs), derived from blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, to serve as therapeutic vectors to improve drug delivery. We found that circulating EVs derived from arthritic mice (Collagen-induced arthritis model) express the joint/synovia homing receptor, αVβ3 integrin. Importantly, both autologous labelled EVs, derived from blood of arthritic mice (Collagen antibody-induced arthritis model) and healthy mice-derived EVs, exhibit targeted migration toward inflamed synovia without infiltrating healthy joints, as demonstrated by an in-vivo imaging system.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized primarily by the synovial infiltration of inflammatory cells. Macrophage infiltration in the joint synovium is one of the early hallmarks of RA disease activity. , which has been widely employed in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to alleviate RA, harbors a bioactive compound known as periplosides (PePs).

Neutrophils are essential for host defense against infections, but they also play a key role in acute and chronic inflammation. The protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) gene encodes the lymphoid-specific tyrosine phosphatase (Lyp) and a genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism of PTPN22 rs2476601 (R620W) has been associated with several human autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Here, we investigated the role of Lyp in TNFα-induced priming of neutrophil ROS production and in the development of arthritis using new selective Lyp inhibitors.

This study investigated the mechanisms driving the induction and sustained presence of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the synovial microenvironment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Synovial tissue and fluid samples were collected from patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA), and NET levels and cytokine concentrations were measured using a cytometric bead array and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ability of interleukin-33 (IL-33) to induce NET formation was evaluated using quantitative assays, immunofluorescence staining, live-cell imaging, and electron microscopy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints and it affects over 18 million people worldwide. Despite the availability of a variety of potent drugs for RA, over 30-40 percent of patients fail to achieve adequate remission, and many patients suffer from systemic adverse effects. Thus, there is an urgent need for a joint-targeted drug delivery system.
