Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by processive synovial hyperplasia and abnormal proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), and can eventually lead to progressive joint destruction. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that cytokines play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of RA. In particular, the production of interleukin (IL)-17 by T helper 17 (Th17) cells is closely associated with the development of RA, and inhibition of IL-17/IL-17R could regulate the production of inflammatory factors by FLSs, which may be a feasible way to reduce inflammation and bone destruction in RA. Currently, accumulating evidence suggests that the utilization of natural herbal medicines is advantageous in the management of RA. In our present paper, a comprehensive reference search was conducted of the classic Materia Medica books, literature, online databases, academic search engines, and MS. or Ph. D theses. In conclusion, natural herbal medicines with antirheumatic activities that modulate FLSs by targeting IL-17/IL-17R were summarized. Furthermore, we also discuss the limitations and potential research directions for the future development of natural herbal medicines as candidate drugs for RA management in the clinic.

靶向 IL-17 及其受体：天然草药调节类风湿性关节炎成纤维细胞样滑膜细胞的可行方法。

类风湿性关节炎（RA）的特点是滑膜增生和成纤维细胞样滑膜细胞（FLS）的异常增殖，最终可导致进行性关节破坏。越来越多的证据表明，细胞因子在 RA 的发病机制中起着关键作用。抑制IL-17/IL-17R可调节FLS产生炎症因子，这可能是减少RA炎症和骨破坏的可行方法。目前，越来越多的证据表明，利用天然草药治疗 RA 具有优势。本文对经典本草书籍、文献、在线数据库、学术搜索引擎以及硕士或博士论文进行了全面的参考检索。最后，我们总结了通过靶向 IL-17/IL-17R 来调节 FLSs 的具有抗风湿活性的天然草药。此外，我们还讨论了天然草药作为候选药物在临床上治疗RA的局限性和未来发展的潜在研究方向。

期刊介绍： Biochemical Pharmacology publishes original research findings, Commentaries and review articles related to the elucidation of cellular and tissue function(s) at the biochemical and molecular levels, the modification of cellular phenotype(s) by genetic, transcriptional/translational or drug/compound-induced modifications, as well as the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of xenobiotics and drugs, the latter including both small molecules and biologics. The journal''s target audience includes scientists engaged in the identification and study of the mechanisms of action of xenobiotics, biologics and drugs and in the drug discovery and development process. All areas of cellular biology and cellular, tissue/organ and whole animal pharmacology fall within the scope of the journal. Drug classes covered include anti-infectives, anti-inflammatory agents, chemotherapeutics, cardiovascular, endocrinological, immunological, metabolic, neurological and psychiatric drugs, as well as research on drug metabolism and kinetics. While medicinal chemistry is a topic of complimentary interest, manuscripts in this area must contain sufficient biological data to characterize pharmacologically the compounds reported. Submissions describing work focused predominately on chemical synthesis and molecular modeling will not be considered for review. While particular emphasis is placed on reporting the results of molecular and biochemical studies, research involving the use of tissue and animal models of human pathophysiology and toxicology is of interest to the extent that it helps define drug mechanisms of action, safety and efficacy.
