Abstract Background Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the axial joints. Immune cells play a key role in the pathogenesis of AS. This study integrated bioinformatics methods with experimental validation to explore the role of natural killer (NK) cells in AS. Methods Two microarray datasets, GSE25101 and GSE73754, were selected, and the scRNA-seq data were obtained from GSE194315 and Liu’s research. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and functional enrichment analysis were performed respectively. weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted to identify key modules of co-expressed genes and genes involved in NK cell function. The diagnostic value of the identified key genes were evaluated using ROC curves, logistic regression analysis, and a nomogram. real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to quantified the expression of genes. Statistical analysis was conducted using the R software package, and a P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Pathways enrichment analysis revealed the involvement of NK cell-mediated immune pathways and regulation of the innate immune response, indicating the crucial role of innate immunity, especially NK cells, in AS pathogenesis. The construction of a co-expression network revealed that the MElightyellow module was most relevant to the NK cell-mediated immune pathway. IL2RB, CD247, PLEKHF1, EOMES, S1PR5, FGFBP2 from the MElightyellow module were identified as key genes involved in NK cell-mediated immune response and served as potential diagnostic biomarkers for AS, with moderate to high diagnostic values based on AUC values. Further analysis using scRNA-seq profiling revealed the higher expression level of IL2RB, CD247, PLEKHF1, S1PR5, FGFBP2 in NK cells compared to that in other cell types. CD247, PLEKHF1, EOMES, S1PR5, and FGFBP2 were reduced expressed in AS patients as compare to control group verified by scRNA-seq data, CD247, EOMES, FGFBP2, IL2RB and S1PR5 were reduced expressed verified by RT-PCR, and PLEKHF1, S1PR5, and FGFBP2 was upregulated after TNF-α blocker therapy. Conclusion The study revealed the potential role of NK cells in the pathogenesis of AS and identified diagnostic biomarkers and potential treatment targets for AS.
Objective We aimed to explore the delaying effect of Bushen Zhiwang Decoction(a compound prescription for tonifying the kidney and treating arthritis) on bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis(RA) patients with a pattern of deficiency of both liver and kidney based on the modified total Sharp score(mTSS).Methods A total of 170 RA patients with a pattern of deficiency of both liver and kidney attending the Department of TCM Rheumatism of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from September 2020 to September 2021 were prospectively enrolled in this randomized controlled trial. A stochastic grouping method was used to assign patients to the experimental group or the control group. Patients in the experimental group were treated with Bushen Zhiwang Decoction combined with regular doses of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(cDMARDs), and patients in the control group were treated only with regular doses of cDMARDs. The observation period was 12 months. The mTSS was used as the main index to observe the degree of bone destruction in both groups after treatment.Results A total of 153 patients completed the final observation(76 in the experimental group and 77 in the control group). There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. After 12 months of treatment, patients in the experimental group showed a more significant improvement in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score compared to patients in the control group(P<0.05). Radiographic evaluation revealed an increase in mTSS in both groups, but the increase in mTSS was significantly smaller(P<0.01) in the experimental group. Radiological progression of bone destruction occurred in 59 patients(77.6%) in the experimental group, a much lower proportion than in the control group(75 patients, 97.4%)(P<0.01). Visualization of the proportional distribution showed that mTSS growth values were consistently lower in the experimental group than in the control group.Conclusion Treatment with Bushen Zhiwang Decoction combined with cDMARDs can effectively delay the progression of bone destruction in RA patients with a pattern of deficiency of liver and kidney.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory and systemic autoimmune disease resulting in severe joint destruction, lifelong suffering and considerable disability. Diverse prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) containing Epimedii Herba (EH) achieve greatly curative effects against RA. The present review aims to systemically summarize the therapeutic effect, pharmacological mechanism, bioavailability and safety assessment of EH to provide a novel insight for subsequent studies. The search terms included were "Epimedii Herba", "yinyanghuo", "arthritis, rheumatoid" and "Rheumatoid Arthritis", and relevant literatures were collected on the database such as Google Scholar, Pubmed, Web of Science and CNKI. In this review, 15 compounds from EH for the treatment of RA were summarized from the aspects of anti-inflammatory, immunoregulatory, cartilage and bone protective, antiangiogenic and antioxidant activities. Although EH has been frequently used to treat RA in clinical practice, studies on mechanisms of these activities are still scarce. Various compounds of EH have the multifunctional traits in the treatment of RA, so EH may be a great complementary medicine option and it is necessary to pay more attention to further research and development.
OBJECTIVESTo investigate the clinical characteristics and relevant factors of secondary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).METHODSPatients with pSS being treated between 2013 and 2020 in China-Japan Friendship Hospital were retrospectively analysed. Clinical characteristics were compared between pSS patients with and without secondary ITP. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with secondary ITP in patients with pSS.RESULTS639 patients with pSS were included in this study, among which 566 (88.6%) were women. The prevalence of secondary ITP in patients with pSS were 12.4%. Among pSS patients with secondary ITP, 55.7% had mucocutaneous bleeding and 8.9% experienced visceral bleeding. Lymphopenia (OR=3.154, 95% CI 1.185-8.395, p=0.021), anaemia (OR=2.416, 95% CI 1.250-4.668, p=0.009), low C4 (OR=2.904, 95% CI 1.563-5.394, p=0.001), and positive anti-RNP (OR=2.777, 95% CI 1.070-7.202, p=0.036) were significantly related to secondary ITP, while interstitial lung disease (ILD, OR=0.429, 95% CI 0.203-0.907, p=0.027), ANA ≥1:320 (OR=0.469, 95% CI 0.221-0.996, p=0.049) and positive anti-SSB (OR=0.288, 95% CI 0.126-0.685, p=0.003) were negatively associated with secondary ITP in patients with pSS.CONCLUSIONSOver 10% of patients with pSS had secondary ITP, among whom visceral bleeding was comparatively rare. Lymphopenia and anaemia were positively related to secondary ITP, while ILD was negatively associated with secondary ITP. Low C4 and positive anti-RNP seem to be two potential risk factors for secondary ITP in patients with pSS, while ANA ≥1:320 and positive anti-SSB may be two potential protective factors.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics of primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) with different onset age, and perform a review of the literature to confirm if the clinical phenotypes are affected by onset age in patients with pSS. Methods Data of 742 patients with pSS were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into three groups according to onset age: young-onset pSS (YopSS, <35 years), adult-onset pSS (AopSS, = 35 and =65 years), and elderly-onset pSS (EopSS, >65 years). Clinical characteristics were compared among three groups and further multiple comparisons were conducted by Bonferroni adjustment. The Chi-squared test for linear-by-linear association was used to explore variation tendency. Results This study included 105 (14.2%), 533 (71.8%), and 104 (14.0%) cases of YopSS, AopSS, and EopSS, respectively. YopSS demonstrated lower prevalence of dry mouth, abnormal Schirmer I tests, and interstitial lung disease (ILD), but higher proportions of low C3 and C4 levels, and ANA, anti-SSA, anti-SSB, and rheumatoid factor (RF) positivity than AopSS and EopSS. The proportions of dry mouth (p= 0.004), abnormal Schirmer I tests (p=0.002), and ILD (p<0.001) tended to increase with the increase of onset age, while the prevalence of leukopenia (p=0.011), low C3 (p=0.001), low C4 (p=0.001), and ANA (p<0.001), anti-SSA (p<0.001), anti-SSB (p<0.001) and RF (p<0.001) positivity tended to decrease with an increase in onset age. Conclusion YopSS demonstrated less dryness and ILD, but more immunologic disorders. ILD prevalence were directly proportional to onset age of pSS; however, leukopenia, hypocomplementaemia,

Apart from the treatment potential of micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MF) in joint diseases, what's less clear is the mechanism of MF on Osteoarthritis (OA). Synoviocytes isolated from synovium tissues of 11 knee joint OA patients were identified and co-cultured with MF collected by Lipogems®. Cytokines and mRNA levels in synoviocytes were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Cell viability, apoptosis and apoptosis-related protein expression of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α)-activated synoviocytes were detected by cell counting kit-8, flow cytometry and western blot, respectively. The rescue experiments were conducted to verify the causal relationship of MF and miR-92a-3p. The relationship between miR-92a-3p and KLHL29 was verified by bioinformatics analysis, qRT-PCR, dual-luciferase reporter assay and western blot. OA synoviocytes were composed of synovial fibroblasts and synovial macrophages. After co-cultivation of synoviocytes and TNF-α, the levels of Interleukin (IL)-8 and hyaluronic acid (HA) appeared a few changes, and those of chemotactic cytokine ligand (CCL) 2, CCL3, CCL5 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 were downregulated, while the levels of Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1, IL-10 and Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) were up-regulated. Co-culture of MF and activated synoviocytes reversed the above-mentioned effects regulated by TNF-α and reduced the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors. However, miR-92a-3p inhibitor overturned the reversal. KLHL29 was the target gene of miR-92a-3p and its expression was suppressed in activated synoviocytes co-cultured with MF, which was reversed by down-regulated miR-92a-3p. Collectively, MF regulated the biological functions of OA synoviocytes by upregulating miR-92a-3p expression.
