Abstract
Spondyloarthropathy (SpA) or spondyloarthrosis refers to any joint disease of the vertebral column. Among the entities of SpA, ankylosing spondylitis has drawn the attention of some researchers, because of its specific mechanism of disease progression. It has been studied earlier that its progression is due to the presence of HLA (human leukocyte antigen) - B27. It shows molecular similarity and immunological cross-reactivity with some of the gut microbiome. Since SpA could be treated or its symptoms could be lessen by medications, but medications itself show many side effects and other complications. Probiotic- being the natural product has been found to be effective against many SpA entities, including Ankylosing Spondylitis. It alters gut microflora somehow in such a way that it helps in reducing the predisposition of any factor to SpA. Here we consider the complex relationship between SpA pathogenesis and gut microbes; with discussion that how use of probiotics as an alternative drug therapy may treat or reduce the progression of SpA, which could be a better future target to treat SpA entities.
期刊介绍:
The International journal of Probiotics & Prebiotics publishes on online only in an open access format. This is a broad based international, interdisciplinary peer reviewed scientific journal for critical evaluation of research on prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics. The major goal of this journal is to provide unbiased scientific data to students, researchers, healthcare providers, and the decision makers in the nutraceutical industry to help make informed choices about prebiotics, probiotics and synbiotics. To this end, the journal will publish original research articles and two types of review articles. First, we will publish a review of preclinical research data coming largely from animal, cell culture and other experimental models. Such data will provide basis for future product development and/or human research initiatives. Second, we will publish a critical evaluation of current human experimental data to help deliver products with medically proven use.
