Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the contraindications, special warnings, and boxed warnings with the aim to establish a framework to create a prescription safety checklist for a class of drugs or disease indication. This study covers biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). METHODS We identified contraindications, boxed warnings, and special warnings provided by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The study included b/tsDMARDs approved for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), axial spondyloarthritis (SpA), and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) within the drug-classes anti-CD20, tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin-1 inhibitors (IL-1i), cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein (CTLA) 4, interleukin-12/23 inhibitors (IL-12/23i), interleukin 6 receptor inhibitors (IL-6Ri), Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors (PDE4i), interleukin-17 inhibitors (IL-17i), and interleukin-23 inhibitors (IL-23i). RESULTS All drug classes, except PDE4i, had contraindications and/or warnings related to infections, including tuberculosis. A warning about herpes zoster was listed for anti-CD20, IL-1i, IL-6Ri, and JAKi, while a warning about hepatitis reactivation was listed for anti-CD20, TNFi, IL-1i, CTLA4-Ig, IL-6Ri, and JAKi. Malignancy risk was mentioned for all drug classes except PDE4i, IL-17i, and IL-23i. Other warnings included demyelinating disease (TNFi, CTLA4-Ig, and IL-6Ri), heart failure (anti-CD20 and TNFi), major adverse cardiac events (JAKi and IL-12/23) and venous thromboembolism (JAKi), hyperlipidemia (IL-6Ri and JAKi), liver impairment (TNFi, IL-1i, IL-6Ri, and JAKi), kidney impairment (IL-1i, JAKi, and PDE4i), inflammatory bowel disease (IL-17i), gastrointestinal perforation (IL-6Ri, JAKi), cytopenia (anti-CD20, TNFi, IL-1i, IL-6Ri, JAKi), and depression (PDE4i). Contraindications and warnings appeared to increase with the passage of time since the drug's approval. CONCLUSION This review provides an overview to establish the framework to create an easily accessible and actionable prescription safety checklist from individual medical product prescription information provided by regulatory medical authorities.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially chronic heart failure, threaten many patients' lives worldwide. Because of its slow course and complex causes, its clinical screening, diagnosis, and prognosis are essential challenges. Clinical biomarkers and biosensor technologies can rapidly screen and diagnose. Multiple types of biomarkers are employed for screening purposes, precise diagnosis, and treatment follow-up. This article provides an up-to-date overview of the biomarkers associated with the six main heart failure etiology pathways. Plasma natriuretic peptides (BNP and NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponins (cTnT, cTnl) are still analyzed as gold-standard markers for heart failure. Other complementary biomarkers include growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), circulating Galactose Lectin 3 (Gal-3), soluble interleukin (sST2), C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). For these biomarkers, the electrochemical biosensors have exhibited sufficient sensitivity, detection limit, and specificity. This review systematically summarizes the latest molecular biomarkers and sensors for heart failure, which will provide comprehensive and cutting-edge authoritative scientific information for biomedical and electronic-sensing researchers in the field of heart failure, as well as patients. In addition, our proposed future outlook may provide new research ideas for researchers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate biologics treatment disparities in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients based on socioeconomic status (SES). METHODS Data from the KOrean Observational Study Network for Arthritis (KORONA) database were analyzed to assess various factors associated with SES, health behaviors, and biologics use. Logistic regression and structured equation modeling (SEM) were utilized for data analysis. RESULTS Among 5,077 RA patients included, 393 (7.7%) patients were identified as biologics users. Within the entire cohort, 31.8% of the participants were in the low-income and low-education groups, and 39.3% of the participants were in the high-income and high-education groups. Despite the patients with low income or low education experienced higher disease activity at diagnosis, had more comorbidities, exhibited higher medication compliance, underwent more check-ups, and had more hospital admissions than their counterparts, the odds of patients with low-income receiving biologics were 34% lower (adjusted odds ratio = 0.76, 95% confidence interval: 0.60-0.96, p = 0.021) after adjustment for demographics and comorbidities. SEM and pathway analyses confirmed the negative impact of low SES on biologics use. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that SES plays a significant role in biologics use among RA patients, indicating potential healthcare inefficiencies for low SES patients. Moreover, adverse healthcare habits negatively affect biologics use in RA patients. The study highlights the importance of considering socioeconomic factors while discussing biologics use and promoting equitable access to biologics for optimal RA management.

Rheumatoid arthritis increases the risk of heart failure: results from the cross-sectional study in the US population and mendelian randomization analysis in the European population. Front Immunol 2024; 15:1377432.

Abstract
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease. Among its various complications, heart failure (HF) has been recognized as the second leading cause of cardiovascular death in RA patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between RA and HF using epidemiological and genetic approaches. Methods The study included 37,736 participants from the 1999-2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Associations between RA and HF in the US population were assessed with weighted multivariate logistic regression analysis. A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was employed to establish the causal relationship between the two variables. The primary analysis method utilized was inverse variance weighting (IVW). Additionally, horizontal pleiotropy and heterogeneity were assessed to account for potential confounding factors. In cases where multiple independent datasets were accessible during MR analysis, we combined the findings through a meta-analytical approach. Results In observational studies, the prevalence of HF in combination with RA reached 7.11% (95%CI 5.83 to 8.39). RA was positively associated with an increased prevalence of HF in the US population [odds ratio (OR):1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.47-2.54, P < 0.0001]. In a MR analysis utilizing a meta-analytical approach to amalgamate the results of the IVW method, we identified a significant causal link between genetically predicted RA and a heightened risk of HF (OR = 1.083, 95% CI: 1.028-1.141; P = 0.003). However, this association was not deemed significant for seronegative RA (SRA) (OR = 1.028, 95% CI: 0.992-1.065; P = 0.126). These findings were consistent across sensitivity analyses and did not indicate any horizontal pleiotropy. Conclusion RA correlates with an elevated prevalence of HF within the US population. Furthermore, genetic evidence derived from European populations underscores a causal link between RA and the risk of HF. However this association was not significant in SRA.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by an increased risk of cardiovascular events, due to the complex interplay between traditional and disease-related risk factors. Chronic inflammation and persistent disease activity are the key determinants of this risk, but despite great improvement in the disease management and prognosis, cardiovascular events are still the main cause of morbidity and mortality in RA cohorts1. In the last decades, the advent of new biological and targeted-synthetic DMARDs was accompanied by an improvement in disease activity control, but the role of each class of drugs on CVD risk is still a matter a debate. Since their approval for RA treatment, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) inhibitors have been widely investigated to better understand their effects on cardiovascular outcomes. The hypothesis that the reduction of chronic inflammation with any treatment may reduce the cardiovascular risk has been recently confuted by the direct comparison of TNFα-inhibitors and JAK inhibitors in patients with RA and coexisting risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this literature review is to add to the available evidence to analyze the relationship between TNFα-inhibitors and CVD risk in patients with RA and also provide some clinical scenarios to better explain the treatment dilemmas. In particular, while data on major cardiovascular events and thromboembolism seem consistent with an inflammation-mediated benefit with TNFα-inhibitors, there remain concerns about the use of this class of bDMARDs in patients with chronic heart failure.

Abstract
The global COVID-19 pandemic has presented a significant, ongoing challenge since its emergence in late 2019. Today, the Omicron strain, which is less lethal but more contagious than the original outbreak strain, continues to pose substantial health risks. In this background, the management of psoriatic comorbidities has become even more complex, particularly for patients with underlying inflammatory, metabolic, or cardiovascular diseases. This review aims to summarize current research on comorbid COVID-19 and psoriasis, and provide insights into the development of evidence-based management strategies. By providing appropriate patient instruction, implementing protective measures, and re-evaluating medication prescriptions based on each patient's unique situation, healthcare professionals can effectively address the challenges faced by patients with comorbid psoriasis in the COVID-19 era.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of specific clinical scenarios is not adequately addressed in national and international guidelines for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). Expert opinions could serve as a valuable complement to these documents. METHODS Seven expert rheumatologists identified controversial areas or gaps of current recommendations for the management of patients with axSpA. A systematic literature review (SLR) was performed to analyze the efficacy and safety of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, conventional synthetic, biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs, b/tsDMARDs) in axSpA regarding controversial areas or gaps. In a nominal group meeting, the results of the SLR were discussed and a set of statements were proposed. A Delphi process inviting 150 rheumatologists was followed to define the final statements. Agreement was defined as if at least 70% of the participants voted ≥ 7 (from 1, totally disagree, to 10, totally agree). RESULTS Three overarching principles and 17 recommendations were generated. All reached agreement. According to them, axSpA care should be holistic and individualized, taking into account objective findings, comorbidities, and patients' opinions and preferences. Integrating imaging and clinical assessment with biomarker analysis could also help in decision-making. Connected to treatments, in refractory enthesitis, b/tsDMARDs are recommended. If active peripheral arthritis, csDMARD might be considered before b/tsDMARDs. The presence of significant structural damage, long disease duration, or HLA-B27-negative status do not contraindicate for the use of b/tsDMARDs. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations are intended to complement guidelines by helping health professionals address and manage specific groups of patients, particular clinical scenarios, and gaps in axSpA.

Abstract
Background Numerous studies have demonstrated that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is related to increased incidence of heart failure (HF), but the underlying association remains unclear. In this study, the potential association of RA and HF was clarified using Mendelian randomization analysis. Methods Genetic tools for RA, HF, autoimmune disease (AD), and NT-proBNP were acquired from genome-wide studies without population overlap. The inverse variance weighting method was employed for MR analysis. Meanwhile, the results were verified in terms of reliability by using a series of analyses and assessments. Results According to MR analysis, its genetic susceptibility to RA may lead to increased risk of heart failure (OR=1.02226, 95%CI [1.005495-1.039304], P=0.009067), but RA was not associated with NT-proBNP. In addition, RA was a type of AD, and the genetic susceptibility of AD had a close relation to increased risk of heart failure (OR=1.045157, 95%CI [1.010249-1.081272], P=0.010825), while AD was not associated with NT-proBNP. In addition, the MR Steiger test revealed that RA was causal for HF and not the opposite (P = 0.000). Conclusion The causal role of RA in HF was explored to recognize the underlying mechanisms of RA and facilitate comprehensive HF evaluation and treatment of RA.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that poses a huge economic burden due to its extremely poor prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to explore potential mechanisms to improve the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. A disintegrin and metalloprotease 17 (ADAM17) is a cell membrane-bound protein that performs a range of functions through membrane protein shedding and intracellular signaling. ADAM17-mediated inflammation has been identified to be an important contributor to atherosclerosis; however, the specific relationship between its multiple regulatory roles and the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis remains unclear. Here, we reviewed the activation, function, and regulation of ADAM17, described in detail the role of ADAM17-mediated inflammatory damage in atherosclerosis, and discussed several controversial points. We hope that these insights into ADAM17 biology will lead to rational management of atherosclerosis. ADAM17 promotes vascular inflammation in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, and macrophages, and regulates the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.

Levels of TNF-α and Soluble TNF Receptors in Normal-Weight, Overweight and Obese Patients with Dilated Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathy: Does Anti-TNF Therapy Still Have Potential to Be Used in Heart Failure Depending on BMI? Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10112959. [PMID: 36428528 PMCID: PMC9687112 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10112959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background. We sought to measure the levels of adipokines, TNF-α and soluble receptors (sTNFr1, sTNFr2) in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) due to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (nDCM). Methods. A total of 123 patients with HFrEF due to nDCM were divided into three groups according to BMI: 34 (27.6%) normal weight, 56 (45.5%) overweight and 33 (26.8%) obese. A six-minute walk test, echocardiography and right heart catheterization were performed. Serum concentrations of adiponectin, leptin, NT-proBNP, blood hemoglobin, sodium, creatinine, ALAT, AspAT, bilirubin, CRP, lipids, TNF-α, sTNFr1 and sTNFr2 receptors were measured. Results. Obese patients had the lowest NT-proBNP concentrations, significantly higher leptin levels and higher leptin/adiponectin ratios. The concentration of sTNFr1 was higher in normal-weight patients. In all groups, TNF-α concentrations correlated positively with sTNFr1 (p < 0.001). Higher levels of sTNFr1 were associated with higher sTNFr2 (p < 0.001) and CRP (p < 0.001). Moreover, the concentration of sTNFr2 positively correlated with CRP (p < 0.05) and adiponectin (p < 0.001). Levels of TNF-α were not associated with elevated CRP. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that changes in the concentrations of TNF and its receptors differ between groups of patients with different BMI. These findings suggest that the effective use of anti-TNF therapy is dependent not only on BMI, but also on concentrations of TNF-α receptors and other laboratory parameters.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus represent two distinct autoimmune diseases belonging to the group of connective tissue disorders. Despite the great progress in the basic science, this progress has not been translated to the development of novel therapeutic approaches that can radically change the face of these diseases. The discovery of JAK kinases, which are tyrosine kinases coupled with cytokine receptors, may open a new chapter in the treatment of so far untreatable diseases. Small synthetic compounds that can block Janus kinases and interact directly with cytokine signalling may provide therapeutic potential in these diseases. In this review, we discuss the therapeutic potential of Jak kinases in light of the cytokine network that JAK kinases are able to interact with. We also provide the theoretical background for the rationale of blocking cytokines with specific JAK inhibitors.

Abstract
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) represents the most frequent form of inflammatory arthritis affecting approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Introduction of novel therapeutic strategies targeting proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and interleukin-6) revolutionized the treatment of RA. This kind of treatment, although effective in a substantial portion of patients, may potentially cause many side effects. Among them cardiovascular safety is one of the main concerns. Objectives In the present study, we investigated what impact treatment with anti-TNF-α and anti-IL-6 agents may have on heart function and levels of heart function biomarkers Methods To measure this, we used cardiac function biomarkers such as NT-pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide, mid regional pro Atrial Natriuretic Peptide, Galectin-3 and Heart-Type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein and compared them to patients treated with methotrexate as well as healthy controls. Results Patients treated with biologics were characterized by low disease activity or were in remission. The disease activity in these groups were significantly lower in comparison to the methotrexate group. All patient recruited to the study were characterized by normal heart function measured with the use of echocardiography (EF>50%). With the exception of MR-proANP between tocilizumab and adalimumab (median: 1.01 vs 0.49 nmol/L, p < 0.05), we failed to observe any significant differences in biomarkers levels between groups treated with biologics. Contrary to this, patients on MTX showed higher NT-proBNP levels compared to adalimumab, and healthy controls (p < 0.05 for both). Striking differences have been shown in regard to H-FABP. The levels of these biomarkers were elevated in all biologics and the methotrexate group as compared to healthy controls. Conclusion As this biomarker reflects potential heart injury we suggest that heart damage proceeds in continuous manner in RA patients despite effective treatment and attainment of remission/low disease activity. This finding however should be verify in larger cohort of RA patients to ascertain if routine assessment of H-FABP may be useful for detection of patients with RA who are at risk of development of heart damage.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this observational cohort study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of the IL-6-receptor inhibitor tocilizumab (TCZ) in Behçet’s syndrome (BS) with refractory arterial involvement. Methods Ten patients admitted to the Rheumatology and Immunology Department of Peking University People’s Hospital between January 2014 and December 2019 were enrolled. The enrolled patients met the BS international criteria and exhibited severe arterial impairments. Refractory arterio-BS was diagnosed based on objective vascular symptoms unexplainable by other known illnesses, and resistance to traditional immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids after 12 weeks. Patients received 8 mg/kg TCZ infusions every 4 weeks for ≥24 weeks, with simultaneous continuation of immunosuppressants and glucocorticoids. Clinical and imaging data were assessed before and after TCZ treatment. Results The enrolled patients were men aged 44.3 (10.5) years; the median disease duration was 186.5 (45.7) months, and the average age of arterial impairment onset was 38.7 (12.9) years. The following trends were observed: improvement and maintenance of symptoms after the 26.8 (7.2)-month follow-up, n = 9; complete remission, n = 6; partial response, n = 3; immunosuppressant dose reduction, n = 4; radiologic improvement of arterial lesions, n = 4; and TCZ discontinuation owing to enlarged abdominal aortic aneurysm relapse, n = 1. The average daily glucocorticoid dose reduced from 54.5 (20.6) to 8.3 (3.6) mg/d (P < 0.001), while the median ESR and CRP values reduced from 50 (2–82) mm/h and 32.9 (2.1–62.3) mg/dl to 4 (1–10) mm/h and 2.9 (0.2–12.1) mg/dl, respectively (P < 0.001). No TCZ-associated side effects were noted. Conclusion TCZ proved to be safe and effective for refractory arterial lesions in BS, with a steroid- and immunosuppressant-sparing benefit.

Abstract
This is a retrospective cohort study by analyzing a multi-institutional electronic medical records database covering 1.3 million individuals (6% of Taiwan's population) to compare the risk of heart failure (HF) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors or conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). We included patients with RA aged 20 years and older who had treatment failure with at least 2 different csDMARD regimens and newly switched to another csDMARD regimen or TNFis from 2009 to 2019. We followed patients from initiation of the new therapies to the occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure (hHF), death, to the last clinical visit or December 31, 2020. We performed multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to compare TNF-α inhibitors and csDMARD groups for the risk of hHF, with adjustment for patients' characteristics. A total of 1,278 TNF-α inhibitors and 1,932 csDMARDs treated patients were identified, with 78% being women and having an average age of 55 (SD 13.28) years. The incidence rates of hHF for the TNF-α inhibitors and csDMARD groups were 3.66 and 4.72 per 1,000 person-years, respectively (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) 0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.35-0.97), and the results remained consistent in patients both with an HF history (aHR 0.66; 95% CI 0.03-14.46) and without (aHR 0.49; 95% CI, 0.27-0.89). The findings suggest that those who switched to TNF-α inhibitors had a reduced risk of hHF, compared with those who switched to another csDMARD regimen.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and pannus formation, with subsequent joint and cartilage degradation. Treatment commonly targets inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha, which is a potent inflammatory cytokine required for cell signaling, regulation, and apoptosis, as well as for other cellular functions including immune response. TNF alpha inhibitors have demonstrated benefits in improving RA patient outcomes in terms of immune function and symptomatology. While TNF alpha inhibitors are generally beneficial, some studies have demonstrated that TNF alpha inhibitors may increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. While this continues to be debated, our study investigates the role of Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 (TNFR1) and Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2) in cardiac tissue. TNFR1 is an apoptotic receptor and its inhibition by TNF alpha inhibitors is subsequently cardioprotective. However, TNF alpha inhibitors may be inhibiting TNFR2 receptors even more so than TNFR1 receptors. TNFR2 is primarily a cardioprotective receptor and its greater inhibition results in the cardiovascular morbidity associated with TNF alpha inhibitors.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis and symmetrical joint destruction. RA has become one of the key diseases endangering human health, but its etiology is not clear. Therefore, identifying the immunopathogenic mechanisms of RA and developing therapeutic drugs to treat autoimmune diseases have always been difficult. This article mainly reviews the immunopathogenic mechanism of RA and advances in the study of anti-inflammatory drugs in order to provide a reference for the treatment of RA and drug development in the future.

Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) was initially recognized as a factor that causes the necrosis of tumors, but it has been recently identified to have additional important functions as a pathological component of autoimmune diseases. TNF-α binds to two different receptors, which initiate signal transduction pathways. These pathways lead to various cellular responses, including cell survival, differentiation, and proliferation. However, the inappropriate or excessive activation of TNF-α signaling is associated with chronic inflammation and can eventually lead to the development of pathological complications such as autoimmune diseases. Understanding of the TNF-α signaling mechanism has been expanded and applied for the treatment of immune diseases, which has resulted in the development of effective therapeutic tools, including TNF-α inhibitors. Currently, clinically approved TNF-α inhibitors have shown noticeable potency in a variety of autoimmune diseases, and novel TNF-α signaling inhibitors are being clinically evaluated. In this review, we briefly introduce the impact of TNF-α signaling on autoimmune diseases and its inhibitors, which are used as therapeutic agents against autoimmune diseases.

Effects of selective TNFR1 inhibition or TNFR2 stimulation, compared to non-selective TNF inhibition, on (neuro)inflammation and behavior after myocardial infarction in male mice. Brain Behav Immun 2021; 93:156-171. [PMID: 33444731 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbi.2021.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2020] [Revised: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) coinciding with depression worsens prognosis. Although Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF) is recognized to play a role in both conditions, the therapeutic potential of TNF inhibition is disappointing. TNF activates two receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, associated with opposite effects. Therefore, anti-inflammatory treatment with specific TNF receptor interference was compared to non-specific TNF inhibition regarding effects on heart, (neuro)inflammation, brain and behavior in mice with MI. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were subjected to MI or sham surgery. One hour later, MI mice were randomized to either non-specific TNF inhibition by Enbrel, specific TNFR1 antagonist-, or specific TNFR2 agonist treatment until the end of the protocol. Control sham and MI mice received saline. Behavioral evaluation was obtained day 10-14 after surgery. Eighteen days post-surgery, cardiac function was measured and mice were sacrificed. Blood and tissue samples were collected for analyses of (neuro)inflammation. RESULTS MI mice displayed left ventricular dysfunction, without heart failure, (neuro) inflammation or depressive-like behavior. Both receptor-specific interventions, but not Enbrel, doubled early post-MI mortality. TNFR2 agonist treatment improved left ventricular function and caused hyper-ramification of microglia, with no effect on depressive-like behavior. In contrast, TNFR1 antagonist treatment was associated with enhanced (neuro)inflammation: more plasma eosinophils and monocytes; increased plasma Lcn2 and hippocampal microglia and astrocyte activation. Moreover, increased baseline heart rate, with reduced beta-adrenergic responsiveness indicated sympathetic activation, and coincided with reduced exploratory behavior in the open field. Enbrel did not affect neuroinflammation nor behavior. CONCLUSION Early receptor interventions, but not non-specific TNF inhibition, increased mortality. Apart from this undesired effect, the general beneficial profile after TNFR2 stimulation, rather than the unfavourable effects of TNFR1 inhibition, would render TNFR2 stimulation preferable over non-specific TNF inhibition in MI with comorbid depression. However, follow-up studies regarding optimal timing and dosing are needed.

Abstract
Recent advances in immunology enabled the characterization of several signal transmitting pathways responsible for proper cytokine and chemokine signaling. Among them, Janus kinases (JAKs) are essential components of receptor activation systems. The discovery of JAK kinases enabled the synthesis of JAK kinase inhibitors (JAKi or Jakinibs), which have proven to be efficacious in the treatment of hematologic malignancies and several rheumatological disorders and continue to be investigated in many clinical indications. Blocking multiple cytokines belonging to several cytokine families with a single small molecule may, however, create a potential risk for the patients. Recently, a higher risk of thromboembolic complications, namely, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, has been recognized as the main concern during treatment with Jakinibs. At present, it is not entirely clear whether this increased risk is related to direct cytokine blockade, the presence of concomitant diseases in treated patients or other unknown circumstances that work together to increase the risk of this side effect. In this review, we discuss data on the risk of thromboembolic side effects, with special emphasis on the mechanism that may be responsible for this increased risk. Many indirect data indicate that higher thromboembolic risk may be related to the specificity of JAK inhibitor action, such that preferentially blocking one signaling pathway upsets the balance between pro and anti-thrombotic activities.

Abstract
Polygenic autoinflammatory diseases (AIDs), such as systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), adult-onset Still's disease, Kawasaki disease, idiopathic recurrent pericarditis (IRP), Behçet’s Syndrome, Crystal-induced arthropatihes such as gout or Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease are characterized by the overexpression of inflammasome-associated genes, leading to a dysregulation of the innate immune response. The IL-1 cytokine family (IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, IL-18, IL-36Ra, IL-36α, IL-37, IL-36β, IL-36g, IL-38, IL-33) was defined to be principally responsible for the inflammatory nature of polygenic AIDs. Several clinical trials were initiated, and IL-1 blockade has been proven to cause a rapid reduction of clinical symptoms and normalization of laboratory parameters in the majority of cases. Randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trials, together with registry-based clinical trials and open-label, retrospective and prospective observational studies, supported the efficacy and safety of IL-1 inhibitors in the treatment of polygenic AIDs. Most of the current data are focused on the therapeutic use of anakinra, an IL-1 receptor antagonist, canakinumab, an anti-IL-1β monoclonal antibody, and rilonacept, a soluble decoy receptor. However, other promising agents, such as gevokizumab, IL-1β blocking monoclonal antibody, tadekinig alfa, a human recombinant IL-18-binding protein, and tranilast, an analog of a tryptophan metabolite, are currently being tested. Anakinra, canakinumab and rilonacept caused impressive improvements in both systemic and musculoskeletal symptoms. Furthermore, the anti-IL-1 therapy allowed corticosteroid tapering and, in some cases, even withdrawal. This article reviews the current IL-1 inhibitors and the results of all clinical trials in which they have been tested for the management of broad spectrum of polygenic AIDs.

Abstract
Adipose tissue dysfunction is a predictor for cardiovascular (CV) events and heart failure (HF) in patient population with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and known type 2 diabetes mellitus. Previous preclinical and clinical studies have yielded controversial findings regarding the role of accumulation of adipose tissue various types in CV risk and HF-related clinical outcomes in obese patients. There is evidence for direct impact of infiltration of epicardial adipocytes into the underlying myocardium to induce adverse cardiac remodeling and mediate HF development and atrial fibrillation. Additionally, perivascular adipocytes accumulation is responsible for release of proinflammatory adipocytokines (adiponectin, leptin, resistin), stimulation of oxidative stress, macrophage phenotype switching, and worsening vascular reparation, which all lead to microvascular inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis acceleration, and finally to increase in CV mortality. However, systemic effects of white and brown adipose tissue can be different, and adipogenesis including browning of adipose tissue and deficiency of anti-inflammatory adipocytokines (visfatin, omentin, zinc-α2-glycoprotein, glypican-4) was frequently associated with adipose triglyceride lipase augmentation, altered glucose homeostasis, resistance to insulin of skeletal muscles, increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, lowered survival, and weak function of progenitor endothelial cells, which could significantly influence on HF development, as well as end-organ fibrosis and multiple comorbidities. The exact underlying mechanisms for these effects are not fully understood, while they are essential to help develop improved treatment strategies. The aim of the review is to summarize the evidence showing that adipocyte dysfunction may induce the onset of HF and support advance of HF through different biological mechanisms involving inflammation, pericardial, and perivascular adipose tissue accumulation, adverse and electrical cardiac remodeling, and skeletal muscle dysfunction. The unbalancing effects of natriuretic peptides, neprilysin, and components of renin–angiotensin system, as exacerbating cause of altered adipocytokine signaling on myocardium and vasculature, in obesity patients at high risk of HF are disputed. The profile of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory adipocytokines as promising biomarker for HF risk stratification is discussed in the review.

Abstract
Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, a novel class of targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), have shown their safety and efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are being intensively tested in other autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Targeting several cytokines with a single small compound leads to blocking the physiological response of hundreds of genes, thereby providing the background to stabilize the immune response. Unfortunately, blocking many cytokines with a single drug may also bring some negative consequences. In this review, we focused on the activity of JAK inhibitors in the cardiovascular system of patients with RA. Special emphasis was put on the modification of heart performance, progression of atherosclerosis, lipid profile disturbance, and risk of thromboembolic complications. We also discussed potential pathophysiological mechanisms that may be responsible for such JAK inhibitor-associated side effects.

Abstract
Chronic autoimmune inflammation is one of the leading risk factors for the development of chronic heart failure (CHF) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of the review is to analyze the results of investigations on the effects of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs), biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), and targeted csDMARDs on cardiac function and the risk of developing CHF in patients with RA. Methotrexate may reduce the CHF risk and have a positive effect on the course of this condition in patients with RA. Despite the data on the presence of leflunomide effects that impede myocardial remodeling, there is no evidence of the role of the drug in the prevention of CHF in RA patients. Hydroxychloroquine may contribute to the prevention of CHF, but the risk of developing severe cardiotoxicity should be considered when taking the drug for a long time. Most studies have not revealed the negative effect of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors on the prevalence and incidence of new cases of CHF in RA patients, and an improvement in the structure and function of the heart during therapy has been shown. Inhibitors of interleukin (IL) -1, inhibitors of IL-6, inhibitors of T-cell co-stimulation, anti-B-cell therapy, targeted csDMARDs do not increase the risk of CHF and may have cardioprotective effects, including slowing the progression of left ventricle myocardial dysfunction. Due to the high risk of CHF and CHF-associated mortality in RA patients, early diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction, development of a prevention and treatment strategies are needed, including high-quality prospective studies to assess the effect of anti-rheumatic therapy on myocardial function, risk of developing and decompensation of CHF in RA patients. It is possible that some drugs may possess protective effects on cardiomyocytes so they could become the first-line drugs in patients with CHF or the risk of its development.

Abstract
We conducted a systematic review and a fixed-effects meta-analysis to determine whether incident adverse psychiatric events (APE) including depression, anxiety, psychosis, or suicide were associated with biologic therapy in IBD. Six randomized controlled trials and a cohort study met criteria, reporting an incidence of APE in 4,882 patients. The risk difference per 100 person-months of any APE with a biologic medication was 0.01 (95% confidence interval = 0.00-0.02). There was insufficient evidence available in randomized controlled trials to conclude that biologic therapy in IBD is associated with an increased incidence of APE.

Abstract
The natural history of heart failure (HF) is not linear, because changes in the heart structure and function start long before the disease becomes clinically evident. Many different cytokines originating from intracardiac tissues (cardiomyocytes, cardiac endothelial cells, cardiac fibroblasts, and cardiac infiltrated immune cells) or extracardiac tissues (adipose tissue, gut, and lymphoid organs) have been identified in HF. Because the levels of circulating cytokines correlate with the development and severity of HF, these mediators may have both pathophysiological importance, through their ability to modulate inflammation, myocyte stress/stretch, myocyte injury and apoptosis, fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix remodeling, and utility as clinical predictive biomarkers. A greater understanding of the mechanisms mediated by the multifaceted network of cytokines, leading to distinct HF phenotypes (HF with reduced or preserved ejection fraction), is urgently needed for the development of new treatment strategies. In this chapter, all these issues were thoroughly discussed, pointing on the practical considerations concerning the clinical use of the cytokines as prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets in HF.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. It is characterized by the presence of rheumatoid factor and anticitrullinated peptide antibodies. The orchestra of the inflammatory process among various immune cells, cytokines, chemokines, proteases, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and reactive oxidative stress play critical immunopathologic roles in the inflammatory cascade of the joint environment, leading to clinical impairment and RA. With the growing understanding of the immunopathogenic mechanisms, increasingly novel marked and potential biologic agents have merged for the treatment of RA in recent years. In this review, we focus on the current understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, highlight novel biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMRADs), targeted synthetic DMRADs, and immune-modulating agents, and identify the applicable immune-mediated therapeutic strategies of the near future. In conclusion, new therapeutic approaches are emerging through a better understanding of the immunopathophysiology of RA, which is improving disease outcomes better than ever.
