Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a systemic autoinflammatory disorder. The understanding of the changes in adaptive immune cells and the crosstalk between innate and adaptive immune systems in AOSD is limited. This study aimed to examine the peripheral immune cell composition and inflammatory protein levels in AOSD patients. METHODS Twenty-nine active AOSD patients were enrolled. Flow cytometry was used to analyse the cell populations in peripheral blood. Antibody chips were utilized to detect the protein expression profile in serum. RESULTS In active AOSD patients, there was an increase in the percentage of classical and non-classical monocytes among peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The proportion of natural killer (NK) cells decreased, with an increase in CD56dim NK1 cells and a decrease in CD56bright NK2 cells compared with healthy controls (HCs). The percentage of naïve central memory T cells was decreased, while the percentage of effector and effector memory T cells was increased among adaptive lymphocytes. The proportion of naïve B and memory B cells was decreased, while plasma cells were increased in AOSD patients, indicating activation of the adaptive immune system. Additionally, the serum levels of 40 proteins were elevated in AOSD patients, primarily involved in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, inflammatory response and regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade. CONCLUSION Our findings showed the activation of the innate and adaptive immune system in AOSD. The protein-protein interaction analysis suggested potential communication between innate and adaptive cell subsets. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of the disease and the development of targeted therapies.

Int Immunopharmacol 2024; 137:112451. [PMID: 38870881 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Janus kinases inhibitors (JAKi) for adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) patients. METHODS We searched the Embase, PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) from inception up to 22 October 2023. The results were supplemented by a backward search of relevant publications. Two authors independently selected trials. The available studies were comprehensively reviewed and analysed. RESULTS A total of 9 studies with a total of 35 patients were included in the review. Of these patients, 17 (48.6%) patients were treated with tofacitinib, 14 (40%) with baricitinib, 4 (11.4%) with ruxolitinib and 1 (2.9%) with upadacitinib. After treatment with JAKi, 17 (48.6%) patients showed complete remission, 12 (34.3%) patients showed partial remission, and 7 (20%) patients showed loss of efficacy or relapse. The use of ruxolitinib showed a remission rate of 100% in AOSD patients with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). The incidence of adverse events (AEs) reported were mild and rare overall. Most AEs were abnormal lipid parameters (9.7%), bacterial pneumonia (3.2%), organised pneumonia (3.2%), diarrhoea (3.2%), increased heart rate (3.2%), menometrorrhagia (3.2%) and leukopenia (3.2%). One patient died from bacterial pneumonia. CONCLUSION JAKi therapy may be an option for patients with AOSD, especially for refractory AOSD. For patients with AOSD complicated by MAS, ruxolitinib seems to be a better choice than other JAKi agents. Although our study shows that JAKi are well tolerated in AOSD patients, we still need to be on the lookout for fatal infections.

Abstract
JAK inhibitors target specific inflammatory cytokines involved in various inflammatory diseases. Four molecules have been approved for dermatological use: upadacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib and topical ruxolitinib. Off-label prescriptions for other dermatological conditions have been reported. We conducted a narrative review of the literature to assess the long-term safety profile of currently approved JAK inhibitors in dermatology, and their off-label use in skin disorders. We performed literature searches with PubMed and Google Scholar from January 2000 to January 2023, using the keywords "Janus kinase inhibitors", "JAK inhibitors","off-label", "dermatology", "safety", "adverse events", "ruxolitinib", "upadacitinib","abrocitinib" and "baricitinib". Our search yielded a total of 37 dermatological disorders with studies supporting the use of these JAK inhibitors. Preliminary studies indicate that JAK inhibitors generally have a favorable safety profile and can be considered as an option in many dermatological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is an idiopathic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology. Some patients exhibit resistance to conventional treatment during long-term therapy. Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKinibs) may contribute to the improvement in AOSD symptoms via the JAK-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway. We aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of baricitinib in patients with refractory AOSD. METHODS Patients were enrolled if they fulfilled the Yamaguchi AOSD classification criteria in China between 2020 and 2022. All patients were recognized as having refractory AOSD and were treated with oral baricitinib at a dosage of 4 mg once daily. A systemic score and prednisone dosage were used to evaluate the efficacy of baricitinib at months 1, 3, and 6 and at the last follow-up visit. The safety profiles were recorded and analysed at every assessment. RESULTS Seven female patients with refractory AOSD received baricitinib. The median age was 31 (IQR 10) years. Treatment was terminated in one patient due to progressive macrophage activation syndrome (MAS). Others continued baricitinib treatment until the last assessment. The systemic score decreased significantly at 3 months (p = 0.0216), 6 months (p = 0.0007), and the last follow-up visit (p = 0.0007) compared with baseline. One month after the initiation of baricitinib, the rates of improvement in fever, rash, sore throat, and myalgia symptoms were 71.4% (5/7), 40% (2/5), 80% (4/5), and 66.7% (2/3), respectively. Five patients remained symptom-free at the last follow-up visit. In most patients, their laboratory values had returned to normal by the last follow-up visit. A significant reduction in the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) (p = 0.0165) and ferritin (p = 0.0047) was observed at the last visit compared with baseline. The daily prednisolone dosage significantly decreased from 35.7 ± 15.1 mg/day at baseline to 8.8 ± 4.4 mg/day by month 6 (p = 0.0256), and it was 5.8 ± 4.7 mg/day at the last assessment (p = 0.0030). Leukopenia due to MAS was noted in one patient. Except for mild abnormalities in lipid parameters, no other severe adverse events occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that baricitinib therapy could provide rapid and durable clinical and laboratory improvement in patients with refractory AOSD. Treatment seemed to be well tolerated by these patients. The long-term efficacy and safety of baricitinib therapy for AOSD should be assessed further in prospective controlled clinical trials in the future.

Abstract
Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAID) are conditions caused by dysregulation or disturbance of the innate immune system, with neutrophils and macrophages the main effector cells. Although there are now more than 40 distinct, genetically defined SAIDs, the genetic/molecular diagnosis remains unknown for a significant proportion of patients with the disease onset in adulthood. This review focuses on new developments related to acquired/late onset SAID, including phenocopies of monogenic disorders, Schnitzler's syndrome, Adult onset Still's disease, VEXAS syndrome, and autoinflammatory complications associated with myelodysplastic syndrome.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a polygenic systemic autoinflammatory disease which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Pulmonary involvement is a rare, but serious complication of AOSD. As in AOSD, IL-1b, IL-18, and IL-6 dominate the molecular pathogenesis, which mediate a type 1 and type 3 inflammatory signature of the adaptive immune system. This is evidenced by the success of IL-1- and IL-6 inhibition in the management of AOSD. However, anaphylactic reactions to treatment with IL-1- or IL-6-inhibitors is currently being discussed as a potential trigger for lung involvement inf AOSD, while genetic risk factors have also been identified. Clinically, pulmonary involvement in AOSD can manifest in many different forms. Parenchymal inflammation with peripheral consolidations is the most frequent form while PAH is less common, but often very difficult to manage. This mini-review provides an overview of the pathophysiology as well as the clinical presentation and the diagnostic features of pulmonary involvement in AOSD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Excessive and inappropriate production of pro-inflammatory cytokines plays a key role in Still's disease. JAK inhibitor (JAKi) agents mainly block pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways, notably IL-6 and IFN. The objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of JAKi agents in difficult-to-treat systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) or adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). METHODS This retrospective study was based on a national survey conducted in the departments of rheumatology, paediatric rheumatology and internal medicine of French hospitals regarding SJIA and AOSD patients who received JAKi agents. The data were collected with a standardised questionnaire and analysed at different times (treatment initiation, months 1, 3, and 6 and the end of follow-up). RESULTS Nine patients (7 adults) were included. All patients showed inadequate response to corticosteroids or conventional synthetic or biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs. Baricitinib was used in 5 patients, ruxolitinib in 2, tofacitinib in 2, and upadacitinib in 1. A JAKi was used combined with corticosteroids in all but 2 patients. A JAKi was associated with anakinra and corticosteroids in one patient, and with methotrexate, anakinra and corticosteroids in another. The median follow-up was 16 [1-33] months. Two cases out 9 showed complete remission, 3/9 partial response and 4/9 treatment failure. At the last visit, corticosteroids could be decreased but not stopped. Tolerance of the JAKi was acceptable (no severe adverse events). CONCLUSION JAKi agents may be a therapeutic option for some patients with difficult-to-treat Still's disease, especially those with partial response to medium- or high-dose corticosteroids or biologics.

Abstract
Introduction Autoinflammatory diseases (AID) are rare diseases presenting with episodes of sterile inflammation. These involve multiple organs and can cause both acute organ damage and serious long-term effects, like amyloidosis. Disease-specific anti-inflammatory therapeutic strategies are established for some AID. However, their clinical course frequently includes relapsing, uncontrolled conditions. Therefore, new therapeutic approaches are needed. Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAKi) block key cytokines of AID pathogenesis and can be a potential option. Methods A systematic review of the literature in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Three databases (MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched for publications regarding the use of JAKi for AID. Data from the included publications was extracted and a narrative synthesis was performed. Criteria for defining treatment response were defined and applied. Results We report data from 38 publications with a total of 101 patients describing the effects of JAKi in AID. Data on Type I Interferonopathies, Adult-Onset Still's Disease (AOSD), Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (sJIA), Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), and Behçet's Syndrome (BS) was identified. From a total of 52 patients with type I interferonopathies, in seven patients (7/52, 13.5%) a complete response was achieved, most (35/52, 67.3%) showed a partial response and a minority (10/52, 19.2%) showed no treatment response. For AOSD, a complete or a partial response was achieved by eleven (11/26, 42.3%) patients each. Two sJIA patients achieved complete response (2/4, 50%) and in two cases (2/4, 50%) a partial response was reported. Half of FMF patients showed a complete response and the other half had a partial one (3/6, 50.0%). Amongst BS patients most achieved a partial response (8/13, 61.5%). Five patients showed no response to therapy (5/13, 38.5%). Overall, the most frequent AEs were upper respiratory tract infections (17), pneumonia (10), BK virus viremia (10) and viruria (4), herpes zoster infection (5), viral gastroenteritis (2) and other infections (4). Conclusion The results from this systematic review show that JAKi can be beneficial in certain AID. The risk of AEs, especially viral infections, should be considered. To accurately assess the risk benefit ratio of JAKi for AID, clinical trials should be conducted.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare multifactorial autoinflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, characterized by an excessive release of cytokines triggered by dysregulated inflammation and articular and systemic manifestations. The clinical spectrum of AOSD ranges from self-limiting forms with mild symptoms to life-threatening cases and presents clinical and biological similarities with the juvenile form (sJIA). Nowadays, the advances in biologic agents no longer limit the treatment to NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, or conventional synthetic DMARDs. The blockade of IL-1 and IL-6 is effective in the treatment of systemic and articular inflammation of AOSD patients; however, novel compounds with different properties and targets are now available and others are being studied. In this review, starting from the pathogenesis of AOSD, we summarized the current and emerging biological therapies, possible effective agents for achieving AOSD control and remission.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare autoinflammatory disease that typically presents with a triad of fever, evanescent rash, and arthritis. There is often a delay in diagnosis of AOSD due to its nonspecific clinical presentation, which may mimic other infectious, rheumatological disorders, and malignancies. Corticosteroids have been the cornerstone for the management of AOSD for the past many years. However, with the expanding understanding of its pathogenesis, novel therapeutic options targeting various cytokines are being increasingly recognized. Herein, we present a case of AOSD that was successfully treated with tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor. For the purpose of this article, we also conducted a literature search to review the current therapeutic options available for the treatment of AOSD.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare but clinically well-known auto-inflammatory disorder. Cytokine storm, the hallmark of AOSD, is mediated by neutrophil hyperactivation and enhanced neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation. Type I interferons (IFNs), having a primary role in the initiation of proinflammation responses, can induce subsequent inflammatory cytokine production. However, the role of type I IFNs in AOSD is unclear. Indeed, high levels of IFN-α and IFN-β expression are presented by AOSD patients. In this investigation, hierarchical unsupervised clustering was performed on IFN-α and IFN-β data to identify a cluster of AOSD patients who had a serious condition. Neutrophils from treatment-naïve active AOSD patients showed very strong enrichment in their IFN-α response, as shown by RNA-seq and confirmed by the IFN score. Whether IFN-α stimulates NET formation was also tested. IFN-α had the ability to form NETs that contained oxidized mitochondrial DNA (ox-mtDNA). Moreover, the JAK inhibitor could be used to dampen type I IFN-induced NET formation and eventually control ox-mtDNA release. Our results demonstrated the important roles of type I IFNs in the pathogenesis of AOSD through their promotion of NET formation, as characterized by the enhanced level of ox-mtDNA. The findings open up new avenues of research into therapeutic approaches for AOSD.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a distinct and heterogeneous disease presently classified under the umbrella of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, with some patients following a monophasic remitting course, whereas others have persistent disease with chronic organ- and life-threatening complications. Although biologic therapies have revolutionized treatment, recent follow-up studies report significant numbers of children with persistently active disease on long term follow-up. This review focuses on refractory disease courses, specifically refractory arthritis, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis with recurrent, or longstanding signs of macrophage activation syndrome, and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis associated with suspected, probable, or definite lung disease.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare, but characteristic non-familial, multi-genic systemic auto-inflammatory disorder, characterized by high spiking fever, salmon-like evanescent skin rash, polyarthritis, sore throat, hyperferritinemia and leucocytosis. The hallmark of AOSD is a cytokine storm triggered by dysregulation of inflammation. Nowadays, with advances in anti-cytokine biologic agents, the treatment of AOSD is no longer limited to NSAIDs, glucocorticoids or conventional synthetic DMARDs. In this review, we focussed on the roles of these cytokines in the pathogenesis of AOSD and summarized the current and emerging biological therapy.

Abstract
Increasing evidence indicates a pivotal role of macrophages in innate immunity, which contributes to the pathogenesis of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). Despite the available reviews that summarized the pathogenic role of proinflammatory cytokines in AOSD, a systematic approach focusing on the crucial role of macrophages in this disease is still lacking. This review summarizes the updated functions of macrophages in AOSD and their implication in clinical manifestations and therapeutics. We searched the MEDLINE database using the PubMed interface and reviewed the English-language literature as of 31 March 2021, from 1971 to 2021. We focus on the existing evidence on the pathogenic role of macrophages in AOSD and its implication in clinical characteristics and novel therapeutics. AOSD is an autoinflammatory disease mainly driven by the innate immune response. Among the innate immune responses, macrophage activation is a hallmark of AOSD pathogenesis. The pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) on macrophages recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns and subsequently cause overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines and recruit adaptive immunity. Some biomarkers, such as ferritin and gasdermin D, reflecting macrophage activation were elevated and correlated with AOSD activity. Given that macrophage activation with the overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines plays a pathogenic role in AOSD, these inflammatory mediators would be the therapeutic targets. Accordingly, the inhibitors to interleukin- (IL-) 1, IL-6, and IL-18 have been shown to be effective in AOSD treatment. Gaining insights into the pathogenic role of macrophages in AOSD can aid in identifying disease biomarkers and therapeutic agents for this disease.

Abstract
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and adult-onset Still’s disease are rare autoinflammatory disorders with common features, supporting the recognition of these being one disease—Still’s disease—with different ages of onset. Anakinra was recently approved by the European Medicines Agency for Still’s disease. In this review we discuss the reasoning for considering Still’s disease as one disease and present anakinra efficacy and safety based on the available literature. The analysis of 27 studies showed that response to anakinra in Still’s disease was remarkable, with clinically inactive disease or the equivalent reported for 23–100% of patients. Glucocorticoid reduction and/or stoppage was reported universally across the studies. In studies on paediatric patients where anakinra was used early or as first-line treatment, clinically inactive disease and successful anakinra tapering/stopping occurred in >50% of patients. Overall, current data support targeted therapy with anakinra in Still’s disease since it improves clinical outcome, especially if initiated early in the disease course.
