Abstract | Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune inflammatory disease affecting 0.5-1% of adults worldwide. Achieving long term remission or low disease activity is possible through early diagnosis, rapid initiation of disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and implementation of a treat to target approach. Initial DMARD therapy usually involves methotrexate (MTX), either alone or in combination with other agents, however 40% of RA patients do not respond adequately, putting them at risk of disease progression and unnecessary exposure to MTX related adverse effects. Early predictors of MTX response would therefore enable a more personalized treatment strategy, ensuring timely access to MTX for those likely to respond and importantly, early initiation of alternative treatment for those in which MTX is unlikely to be efficacious. Predicting response to treatment will most likely require consideration of the clinical characteristics of the patient and interrogation of a number of factors including genetic, epigenetic, cell free DNA (cfDNA) and microRNA (miRNA), all of which can be investigated through blood derived liquid biopsies. This review will summarize the existing literature examining the use of epigenetic factors, cfDNA and miRNA as response predictors among RA patients treated with MTX. |
