Abstract
The etiology of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) development remained unclear, and several factors, such as environmental, genetic, and immune system dysfunction, have been attributed to the susceptibility. Interleukin 23 (IL23) induces expansion of the Th17 cells through the IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) and believes in playing a major role in RA pathogenesis. Various genetic mutants in the IL23R gene (rs10489629, rs1343151, rs2201841, rs7517847, rs1004819, rs10889677, rs11209026, rs7530511) have been associated with the susceptibility RA, but results are contradictories. We performed a meta-analysis to establish the association of IL23R polymorphisms with susceptibility RA. For the meta-analysis, a detailed search of databases like Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct was conducted, and data were extracted from the included reports. The meta-analysis was performed by the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis v3 software. A significant association of IL-23R rs11209026 (AA vs. GG: Odds ratio = 2.250, p-value = 0.01; AA vs. GG+GA: Odds ratio = 2.271, p-value = 0.01), rs1343151 (A vs. G: Odds ratio = 1.091, p-value = 0.001; AA vs. GG: Odds ratio = 1.209, p-value = 0.001; GA vs. GG: Odds ratio = 1.116, p-value = 0.004; AA+GA vs. GG: Odds ratio = 1.135, p-value = 0.000; AA vs. GG+GA: Odds ratio = 1.144, p-value = 0.012) and rs10889677 (CA vs. CC: Odds ratio = 1.375, p-value = 0.041) polymorphisms were observed with increased susceptibility for the development of RA. In contrast, IL-23R rs10489629 (G vs. A: odds ratio = 0.901, p-value = 0.047, GG vs. AA: Odds ratio = 0.763, p-value = 0.022, GG vs. AA+AG: Odds ratio = 0.852, p-value = 0.00) and IL23R rs2201841 (CC vs. TT+TC: Odds ratio = 0.826, p-value = 0.026) variants were linked with protection against the development of RA. In addition, the trial sequential analysis revealed the inclusion of a sufficient number of studies in the present meta-analysis, and no further additional studies are required. IL-23R variants are associated with genetic susceptibility or resistance against the development of RA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play a key role in post-transcriptional modulation of individual genes' expression. Several miRNA variants from different populations are known to be associated with an increased risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). AIM This study was undertaken with the aim to investigate the association of single nucleotide variants; namely, rs2292832, rs3746444, rs11614913, rs1044165, and rs767649 of MIR149, MIR499, MIR196, MIR223, and MIR155, respectively, with RA in the Pakistani population. METHODS A case-control study was performed by recruiting and genotyping a total of 600 individuals (300 cases and 300 controls) for these five variants using a TaqMan single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assay. The resultant genotypic data was statistically analyzed through a chi-squared test for its association with RA under different inheritance models. RESULTS We found a significant association of rs2292832 with RA at genotypic (co-dominant (p < 0.0001), dominant (CC vs. TT + CT: OR 2.063 (1.437-2.962); p = 0.0001), recessive (TT vs. CT + CC: OR 0.376 (0.259-0.548); p < 0.0001)), and allelic (allele C) levels ((OR 0.506 (0.402-0637); p < 0.0001)). Similarly, the rs3746444 showed a significant association with RA under co-dominant (p = 0.0001), dominant (GG vs. AA + AG: OR 5.246 (3.414-8.061); p < 0.0001), recessive (AA vs. GG + AG: OR 0.653 (0.466-0.916); p = 0.014), and additive models (G vs. A; OR 0.779 (0.620-0.978); p = 0.03). However, we did not observe any significant association of rs11614913, rs1044165, or rs767649 with RA in our subjects. CONCLUSION To our knowledge, this was the first study that investigated and found an association between functional polymorphisms in miRNAs and RA in the Pakistani population.

Zhang P, Zhang Q, Shao Z. Silence of S1PR4 Represses the Activation of Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes by Regulating IL-17/STAT3 Signaling Pathway. Inflammation 2023; 46:234-243. [PMID: 36068391 DOI: 10.1007/s10753-022-01728-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with persistent inflammation and progressive joint damage. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms of RA are still unclear. Fibroblast‑like synoviocytes (FLSs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of RA by the regulation of proliferation and apoptosis, and the release of multiple pro-inflammatory factors. The lipid mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 4 (S1PR4) is one of the sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptors, which affects the function of immune cells. However, the role of S1PR4 in the activation of FLSs and the development of RA is unknown. In this study, we found that the expression of S1PR4 was significantly increased in RA-FLSs. The silence of S1PR4 decreases the proliferation, migration, proinflammation, and promotes the apoptosis of RA-FLSs, accompanied with repressing interleukin-17 (IL-17)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signal pathway. However, the regulatory effects of S1PR4 silencing on RA-FLSs were partly abolished by additional recombinant human (rh) IL-17A treatment. Therefore, our study demonstrated that S1PR4 silencing might inhibit proliferation, migration, proinflammation, and promote apoptosis of RA-FLSs partly by repressing IL-17, which suggests that inhibitors for S1PR4 might be a potentially promising strategy for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several investigations have disclosed the involvement of the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 pathway in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis. Here we investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL23 receptor (IL23R) gene with RA risk. In addition, the role of these SNPs with the inflammatory state of the patients were determined. METHODS In this case-control study, 200 RA cases and 200 healthy subjects were recruited. Using allelic discrimination real-time polymerase chain reaction, both IL23R rs10489629 and rs1004819 SNPs were genotyped. The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of IL-23R, IL-23, and IL-17A were determined in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The serum levels of IL-23 and IL-17A were also determined. RESULTS The A allele (odds ratio [OR] = 1.52, 95% CI: 1.15-2.01; P = .0030), AA genotype (OR = 2.41, 95% CI: 1.33-4.35; P = .0035), and AG genotype (OR = 2.55, 95% CI: 1.56-4.16, P = .0002) of rs1004819 SNP was significantly associated with increased RA risk. The mRNA expression of IL-17A (fold change = 2.55, P = .00027), IL-23 (fold change = 1.62, P = .0081), and IL-23R (fold change = 1.59, P = .0077) was significantly upregulated in the PBMCs from RA patients compared to that of healthy controls. Serum levels of IL-17A (P = .00019) and IL-23 (P = .00055) was significantly higher in the RA patients compared to the controls. No significant association was detected between patient data and SNPs. CONCLUSIONS The IL-23/IL-27 pathway plays a role in RA pathogenesis, but IL23R gene rs1004819 SNP might not be regulating this pathway in RA disease.

Abstract
This meta-analysis aims to compare the perinatal outcome of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) pregnancies undergoing selective versus vascular equator (Solomon) fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP). We performed a systematic search in PubMed and Web of Science from inception up to 25 July 2021. Studies comparing the Solomon and selective techniques of FLP for treatment of TTTS pregnancies were eligible. Random-effects or fixed-effect models were used to pool standardized mean differences (SMD) and log odds ratio. Seven studies with a total of 1664 TTTS pregnancies (n = 671 undergoing Solomon and n = 993 selective techniques) were included. As compared to the selective FLP, Solomon was associated with a lower risk of recurrent TTTS compared to the selective technique (Log odds ratio [OR]: -1.167; 95% credible interval [CrI]: -2.01, -0.33; p = 0.021; I2 : 67%). In addition, Solomon was significantly associated with a higher risk of placental abruption than the selective technique (Log [OR]: 1.44; 95% CrI: 0.45, 2.47; p = 0.012; I2 : 0.0%). Furthermore, a trend for the higher risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes was observed among those undergoing Solomon (Log [OR]: 0.581; 95% CrI: -0.43, 1.49; p = 0.131; I2 : 17%). As compared to selective FLP, the Solomon technique for TTTS pregnancies is associated with a significantly lower recurrence of TTTS; however, it significantly increases the risk of placental abruption.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the complex diseases with the involvement of the genetic as well as environmental factors in its onset and severity. Different genome-wide association and candidate gene studies have shown the role of several genetic variants in multiple loci/genes with ethnical and geographical variations. This study was designed to detect the association of a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10865035 in the AFF3 gene with the genetic background of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the Pakistani cohort. A total of 703 individuals, including 409 RA patients and 294 healthy controls, were genotyped using TaqMan assay and Tri primer ARMS-PCR (amplification-refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction) methods. The association of rs10865035 with the RA was statistically determined using different models. Interestingly, besides the homozygous recessive model (G/G vs. A/G + A/A) (OR = 1.693(1.06-2.648); P = 0.025), all other models, which included the codominant (χ 2 = 5.169; P = 0.075), homozygous dominant (A/A vs. G/G + A/G) (OR = 0.867 (0.636-1.187); P = 0.41), heterozygous (A/G vs. A/A + GG) (OR = 0.491 (0.667-1.215); P = 0.49), and additive model (OR = 0.826 (0.665-1.027); P = 0.08) showed insignificant distribution of the genotypes among the cases and controls. These findings suggest that the AFF3 gene (rs10865035) has no significant role in the onset of RA in the Pakistani population.

IL-23R gene polymorphisms in rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatol Int 2021; 42:555-562.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease in which many different genetic variants of functional gene polymorphisms may play a culprit role in the underlying pathogenetic mechanism. The recent studies suggest that interleukin-23 receptor (IL-23R) gene polymorphisms may increase susceptibility to the development of various autoimmune diseases. We aimed to examine the possible relationship of nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the IL-23R gene to susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis and their associations with disease characteristics in the South Aegean region of Turkey. We enrolled 100 rheumatoid arthritis patients and age- and sex-matched 96 healthy subjects in the study. After deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) isolation was performed, a 'Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism' (RFLP) method was used for the investigation of polymorphisms associated with the IL-23R gene. Allele identification and genotyping were obtained from polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products using gel electrophoresis. Allele frequencies and detected genotypes were compared between groups. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics 25 software (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.)). Continuous variables were defined by the mean ± standard deviation and categorical variables were defined by number and percent. Logistic Regression Analysis was used for determining which variables affect the presence of RA. Differences between categorical variables were analyzed with Chi-square analysis. Statistical significance was determined as p < 0.05. The mean age was 53.48 ± 11.7 years in the RA group, whereas 52.55 ± 12.7 years in the healthy control group. The genotypes of IL-23R with rs11805303(TT), rs10889677(AA), rs1004819(AA), and rs7530511(CT) polymorphisms were seen more often in RA patients than healthy controls. Having the AA genotype of IL-23R rs1004819 and the CT genotype of Il-23R rs7530511 increase the development risk of RA with a statistical significance (OR: 3.416 p = 0.003 and OR: 4.899 p = 0.0001, respectively). RA patients with the CC genotype of Il-23R with rs11805303, the CC genotype with rs10889677, and the TT genotype with rs2201841 of the IL-23R gene had higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels than with other genotypes. RA patients with the CC genotype rs11805303 and the GG genotype rs1004819 of the IL-23R gene had more active disease. Our findings suggest that all of the nine analyzed IL-23R gene polymorphisms are seen more frequently than healthy controls in our study population. Besides, some SNPs were related to higher acute phase reactants and higher disease activity scores.

IL-21 gene rs6822844 polymorphism and rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility. Biosci Rep 2020; 40:221319.

Abstract
Interleukin-21 (IL-21) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in pathogenesis and activity of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Meanwhile, genetic polymorphisms in the IL-21 gene may alter its expression. Previous studies have reported conflicting results assessing the association between the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism and RA risk. Thus, it's necessary to perform a meta-analysis to definite above relationship. PubMed database was searched for all papers published until October 20, 2019. Nine case-control studies with 9998 cases and 10742 controls were retrieved based on the search criteria at last. Odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was used to calculate the strength of this association. Publication bias was detected using both Begg's and Egger's tests. Overall, the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism was found to be significantly associated with decreased RA risk (e.g. T-allele versus G-allele: OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.72-0.91, P < 0.001). In addition, decreased RA risk was also detected both in Asians (eg: TT+TG versus GG: OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.31-0.56, P < 0.001) and Caucasians (eg: TT+TG versus GG: OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.80-0.91, P < 0.001). A similar trend in association was found in the source of the control and genotype method subgroups. Furthermore, subgroup analysis of rheumatoid factor status revealed a protective relationship between the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism and RF+/RF- RA risk. A similar relationship was noted in the anti-citrullinated protein antibody status subgroup. The results of the present study suggest that the IL-21 rs6822844 G/T polymorphism was significantly associated with decreased RA susceptibility.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Although CoQ10 has not been approved as medication by the Food and Drug Administration, it is widely used in dietary supplements. Some studies have shown that CoQ10 has anti-inflammatory effects on various autoimmune disorders. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of liposome/gold hybrid nanoparticles encoded with CoQ10 (LGNP-CoQ10). Both CoQ10 and LGNP-CoQ10 were administered orally to mice with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) for 10 weeks. The inflammation pathology of joint tissues of CIA mice was then analyzed using hematoxylin and eosin and Safranin O staining, as well as immunohistochemistry analysis. We obtained immunofluorescence staining images of spleen tissues using confocal microscopy. We found that pro-inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased in LGNP-CoQ10 injected mice. Th17 cell and phosphorylated STAT3-expressed cell populations were also decreased in LGNP-CoQ10 injected mice. When human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated with CoQ10 and LGNP-CoQ10, the IL-17 expression of PBMCs in the LGNP-CoQ10-treated group was significantly reduced. Together, these results suggest that LGNP-CoQ10 has therapeutic potential for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Association study of CCR6 rs3093024 with Rheumatoid Arthritis in a Pakistani cohort. Saudi J Biol Sci 2020; 27:3354-3358. [PMID: 33304142 PMCID: PMC7715036 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2020.08.045] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 07/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
C-C Chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6), an important protein in inflammatory and immunological responses, has been previously reported to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Therefore, in order to replicate these findings, a case-control study was conducted on 500 subjects (including 250 RA patients and 250 healthy controls) of Pakistani origin. The aim of this study was to determine the association of CCR6 rs3093024 variant with RA and identify its role in splicing events using bioinformatics tools. The clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients were collected using a well-designed questionnaire. The genotype frequencies of CCR6 rs3093024 variant were determined using tetra-primer ARMS-PCR (amplification of refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction) method. A significant difference was found between CCR6 rs3093024 genotype frequencies [P = 0.0016, χ2 = 12.915]. Similarly, a significant difference in the allele frequencies between RA patients and healthy controls was also observed [P = 0.0003 and OR (95% CI) = 0.63 (0.49–0.80)]. The stratification of patients showed that there was a significant increase in AA genotype against AG + GG in patients [P = 0.0014, OR (95% CI) = 2.0 (1.32–3.02)]. Furthermore, using bioinformatics analysis, it was found that CCR6 rs3093024 variant might create a potential splicing enhancer motif (SF2/ASF (IgM-BRCA1) with score of 77.92; Threshold 70.53), which might have important impact on the product of this gene. This study suggests that the A variant of CCR6 rs3093024 variant is significantly associated with RA-risk and its G variant is protective in Pakistani population but a multi-cohort large sized population study is needed to elucidate these results. Moreover, functional studies are needed to highlight the effects of this polymorphism on the function of CCR6 gene.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy worldwide. Possible manifestations of RA can be represented by a wide variability of symptoms, clinical forms, and course options. This multifactorial disease is triggered by a genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Both clinical and genealogical studies have demonstrated disease case accumulation in families. Revealing the impact of candidate gene missense variants on the disease course elucidates understanding of RA molecular pathogenesis. A multivariate genomewide association study (GWAS) based analysis identified the genes and signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, these identified RA candidate gene variants only explain 30% of familial disease cases. The genetic causes for a significant proportion of familial RA have not been determined until now. Therefore, it is important to identify RA risk groups in different populations, as well as the possible prognostic value of some genetic variants for disease development, progression, and treatment. Our review has two purposes. First, to summarise the data on RA candidate genes and the increased disease risk associated with these alleles in various populations. Second, to describe how the genetic variants can be used in the selection of drugs for the treatment of RA.

Abstract
Associations of polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor ( VDR) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have already been explored by many studies. The aim of this meta-analysis was to better clarify associations between polymorphisms in VDR and RA/SLE by combing the results of all relevant studies. Eligible studies were searched from Pubmed, Embase, WOS and CNKI. We used Review Manager to combine the results of eligible studies. Thirty-seven studies were included in this meta-analysis. VDR rs1544410 (recessive comparison: odds ratio (OR) = 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06–1.76; over-dominant comparison: OR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.71–0.93) and rs731236 (over-dominant comparison: OR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.63–0.94) polymorphisms were found to be significantly associated with RA in overall combined analyses. Besides, VDR rs1544410 (dominant comparison: OR = 0.61, 95% CI 0.46–0.82; over-dominant comparison: OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.16–1.81; allele comparison: OR = 0.75, 95% CI 0.62–0.92), rs2228570 (dominant comparison: OR = 0.58, 95% CI 0.50–0.67; recessive comparison: OR = 1.57, 95% CI 1.21–2.03; allele comparison: OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.60–0.80) and rs731236 (dominant comparison: OR = 0.69, 95% CI 0.50–0.96; allele comparison: OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.70–0.90) polymorphisms were also found to be significantly associated with SLE in overall combined analyses. Subgroup analyses revealed that significant associations for VDR polymorphisms and RA/SLE were mainly driven by Asians. Collectively, this meta-analysis proved that VDR rs7975232, rs1544410, rs2228570 and rs731236 polymorphisms may confer susceptibility to RA and SLE, especially for Asians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The associations between viruses and the cancer have been conducted in several studies while there has been no systematic review and meta-analysis about the association between viral infections and thyroid cancer (TC). Therefore, we investigated the association between viral infection and TC risk. METHODS Systematic search was done from 1994 to 2019 in Web of sciences (ISI), PubMed, and Scopus databases. Pooled logarithm of odds ratio (OR) and their corresponding 95 % confidence interval (CI) and pooled prevalence of viral infections were calculated to find the association between the viral infections and TC risk and overall prevalence of the viral infections in TC. RESULTS Twenty-three of 852 original articles were selected and included in the study. According to the results of the random effect meta-analysis, the pooled prevalence of viral infections in the TC patients was 37 % (95 % C. I = 22 %-55 %). In addition, there was a significant association between viral infections (log (OR) = 1.51, 95 % credible interval = 0.68-2.39) and TC risk. The highest associations were observed between TC risk and Simian Vacuolating Virus 40 (SV40) and B19 infections, respectively. The lowest non-significant association was found between TC risk and Poliovirus type 1 infection. The significantly heterogeneity was observed between included studies (Q test: p-value<0.001; I2 = 73.82 %; τ2 = 1.08, 95 % Cr. I = 0.47-1.94). CONCLUSIONS Results clearly demonstrated the potential pathogenetic association between viral infections and increased risk of TC.

Abstract
XPO5/RAN-GTP complex mediates the nuclear transport of pre-miRNAs in the miRNA processing system, its altered expression is indicated to be correlated with cancer risk. Several studies have inspected the association between XPO5 or RAN polymorphisms and the risk of various cancers, but the findings remain controversial. A Bayesian hierarchical meta-analysis was carried out to review and analyze the effect of XPO5 and RAN polymorphisms on cancer risk. The association was estimated by calculating the logarithm of odds ratio (Log OR) and 95% credible interval (95% CrI). The expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis was used for in silico functional validation of the identified significant susceptibility loci. Consequently, 38 case-control studies (from 27 citations) with 27,459 cancer cases and 25,151controls were included in the meta-analysis of the five most prevalent SNPs (rs11077 A/C, rs2257082 G/A, rs3803012 A/G, rs14035 C/T, rs3809142 C/T). In the XPO5 gene rs11077 SNP, the minor C allele significantly increased the risk of cancer (Log OR = 0.120, 95% CrI = 0.013, 0.241), and a strong association between rs11077 SNP and cancer risk was also found in the dominant model (CC + AC vs. AA: Log OR = 0.132, 95% CrI = 0.009, 0.275). In addition, the minor GG genotype allele of the RAN gene rs3803012 SNP significantly increased the cancer risk (Log OR = 0.707, 95% CrI = 0.059, 1.385). Statistically significant associations between rs3803012 SNP and cancer risk were also observed in the recessive model (GG vs. AG + AA: Log OR = 0.708, 95% CrI = 0.059, 1.359). Furthermore, the eQTL analysis revealed that rs11077 SNP was significantly correlated with XPO5 mRNA expression, which provided additional biological basis for the observed positive association. Our results suggest that XPO5 rs11077 may be a possible functional susceptibility locus for cancer risk.

Abstract
In this review, we systematically discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease treatment. TCM classifies the subtypes of RA through its own theoretical method, which is beneficial for more accurate diagnosis and treatment with Chinese herbal medicines (CHMs) that are more suitable for different syndromes. TCM mainly uses a flexible combination of CHMs to play an important role in RA treatment. The main components of these extracts can be subdivided into alkaloids, flavonoids, triterpenes, saponins and other compounds. Using a platform of transgenic and induced arthritis models, we explore the potential mechanisms of TCM against RA with the help of omics analysis techniques and methods. These mechanisms are mainly CHM and its extracts can inhibit RA patients and experimental animal models, including synovitis, vascular proliferation and bone injury; this involves many biological signal exchange targets and pathways. In conclusion, the role of TCM in RA treatment mainly involves reducing the expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, thus decreasing the degree of abnormal immune response. In this review, we systematically discuss the role of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease treatment.![]()
