    Abstract Synovial tissue macrophages (STMs) were principally recognized as having a pro-inflammatory role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), serving as the main producers of pathogenic tumour necrosis factor (TNF). Recent advances in single-cell omics have facilitated the discovery of distinct STM populations, providing an atlas of discrete phenotypic clusters in the context of healthy and inflamed joints. Interrogation of the functions of distinct STM populations, via ex vivo and experimental mouse models, has re-defined our understanding of STM biology, opening up new opportunities to better understand the pathology of the arthritic joint. These works have identified STM subpopulations that form a protective lining barrier within the synovial membrane and actively participate in the remission of RA. We discuss how distinct functions of STM clusters shape the synovial tissue environment in health, during inflammation and in disease remission, as well as how an increased understanding of STM heterogeneity might aid the prediction of clinical outcomes and inform novel treatments for RA.

    Abstract Significant recent progress in understanding rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis has led to improved treatment and quality of life. The introduction of targeted-biologic and -synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) has also transformed clinical outcomes. Despite this, RA remains a life-long disease without a cure. Unmet needs include partial response and non-response to treatment in many patients, failure to achieve immune homeostasis or drug free remission, and inability to repair damaged tissues. RA is now recognized as the end of a multi-year prodromal phase in which systemic immune dysregulation, likely beginning in mucosal surfaces, is followed by a symptomatic clinical phase. Inflammation and immune reactivity are primarily localized to the synovium leading to pain and articular damage, but is also associated with a broader series of comorbidities. Here, we review recently described immunologic mechanisms that drive breach of tolerance, chronic synovitis, and remission.

    Abstract Despite the relevant advances in our understanding of the pathogenetic mechanisms regulating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the development of effective therapeutics, to date, there is still a proportion of patients with RA who do not respond to treatment and end up progressing toward the development of joint damage, extra-articular complications, and disability. This is mainly due to the inter-individual heterogeneity of the molecular and cellular taxonomy of the synovial membrane, which represents the target tissue of RA inflammation. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are crucial key players in RA pathogenesis fueling the inflammatory cascade, as supported by experimental evidence derived from

    Abstract Spondyloarthritis (SpA) contemplates the inflammatory involvement of the musculoskeletal system, gut, skin, and eyes, delineating heterogeneous diseases with a common pathogenetic background. In the framework of innate and adaptive immune disruption in SpA, neutrophils are arising, across different clinical domains, as pivotal cells crucial in orchestrating the pro-inflammatory response, both at systemic and tissue levels. It has been suggested they act as key players along multiple stages of disease trajectory fueling type 3 immunity, with a significant impact in the initiation and amplification of inflammation as well as in structural damage occurrence, typical of long-standing disease. The aim of our review is to focus on neutrophils' role within the spectrum of SpA, dissecting their functions and abnormalities in each of the relevant disease domains to understand their rising appeal as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

    Abstract Objective: This post-hoc analysis was carried out on data acquired in the longitudinal Sonographic Tenosynovitis/arthritis Assessment in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients in Remission (STARTER) study. Its primary aim was to determine the predictive clinical and MSUS features factors for disease flare in RA patients in clinical remission, whilst its secondary aim was to evaluate the probability of disease flare based on clinical and MSUS features.
    Methods: The analysis included a total of 389 RA patients in DAS28-defined remission. All patients underwent a MSUS examination according to OMERACT guidelines. Logistic regression and results presented as OR and 95%CI were used for the evaluation of the association between selected variables and disease flare. Significant clinical and MSUS features were incorporated into a risk table to predict disease flare within 12 months in RA remission patients.
    Results: Within 12 months, 137(35%) RA patients experienced a disease flare. RA patients who experienced a flare disease differed from persistent remission for ACPA positivity (75.9%vs62.3%; p= 0.007), percentage of sustained clinical remission at baseline (44.1%vs68.5%; p= 0.001) and synovium PD signal presence (58.4%vs33.3%; p< 0.001). Based on these results, the three features were considered in a predictive model of disease flare with adjOR 3.064(95%CI 1.728-5.432). Finally, a risk table was constructed including the three significant predictive factors of disease flare within 12 months from the enrolment.
    Conclusion: An adaptive flare prediction model tool, based on data available in outpatient setting, were developed as a multiparametric risk table. If confirmed by the external validation, this tool might support the definition of therapeutic strategies in RA patients in DAS28-defined remission status.

    Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has been shown to be linked to Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection, a virus that infects B cells inside the CNS. The seminal study raises a key interest into the infectious origin of several other autoimmune inflammatory diseases.We will discuss here the infectious agents that have been studied over the years in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), a crippling arthritis that was treated a century ago with gold salts (anti mycobacterial agent), chloroquine (anti malarial agent), or sulphasalazine (an antibacterial-antiinflammatory agent). Several infectious agents have been taken into consideration, i.e. Streptococcus group A, Proteus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis-MTB, Parvovirus B19, Epstein Barr virus, Porphyromonas gingivalis-Pg, Aggregatibacter actinomycetescomitans, and finally Haemophilus-Glaesserella parasuis-Hps. Of these agents only three satisfy the Witebski's criteria as possible pathogenetic causes of an autoimmune disease, i.e. MTB, Pg, Hps. We will discuss here how the immune tolerance might be broken, which could be the neoantigen or autoantigen involved, how the infectious agent was studied as a trigger capable of inducing arthritis in animal models. The preventive measures that should be adopted to lessen the impact of the infections, to prevent the burden and the severity of the illness are described.
