Managing NIU presents considerable challenges due to the condition's resistance to high-dose corticosteroids and various immunotherapies. This review assesses the efficacy and safety of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of NIU, based on individual case reports and small-scale studies. A cohort of 78 patients (20 males, 58 females), with a mean onset age of 32.3 years (range 8-72), was analyzed. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was the most frequently associated comorbidity, affecting 28 patients, while anterior uveitis was the predominant subtype, observed in 26 of 47 cases. Prior to RTX therapy, patients had been treated with an average of 1.7 conventional immunosuppressive agents (range 0-5) and 1.1 biologics (range 0-4). RTX was introduced following the failure of high-dose corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and biologics to control the uveitis. The median time from diagnosis to RTX initiation was 7.7 years (range 0.25-21). Post-RTX, 44.2% of patients experienced improvement in visual acuity, 79.5% achieved resolution of ocular inflammation, and 8.9% showed partial improvement. Additionally, 81.1% were able to reduce their corticosteroid dosage. Overall, 88.6% (69 out of 78) demonstrated a positive response to RTX treatment. These findings indicate that RTX may serve as an effective therapeutic option for NIU unresponsive to steroids and multiple immunotherapies. It may also warrant consideration as a potential first-line treatment in certain cases.</p>","PeriodicalId":16107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inflammation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11448468/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142372057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Notably, 36 DEGs were up-regulated and 65 DEGs were down-regulated (CME vs control). In particular, the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and mitochondrial electron transport were obviously down-regulated in the CME group. Functional analysis revealed that CME mice exhibited marked reductions in ATP and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), by contrast, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was much higher in CME mice than in controls. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) validation suggested that eight hub genes including Cmpk2, Isg15, Acsl1, Etfb, Ndufa8, Adhfe1, Gabarapl1 and Acot13 were down-regulated in CME, whereas Aldh18a1 and Hspa5 were up-regulated.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Our findings suggest that dysfunctions in mitochondrial activity and metabolism are important mechanisms for CME, and mitochondria-related DEGs may be potential therapeutic targets for CME.</p>","PeriodicalId":16107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inflammation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11437660/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142348251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent research has highlighted the role of various genes in the pathogenesis and progression of OA, with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) emerging as a critical player. NRF2, a vital transcription factor, plays a key role in regulating the OA microenvironment and slowing the disease's progression. It modulates the expression of several antioxidant enzymes, such as Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and NAD(P)H oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), among others, which help reduce oxidative stress. Furthermore, NRF2 inhibits the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, thereby decreasing inflammation, joint pain, and the breakdown of cartilage extracellular matrix, while also mitigating cell aging and death. This review discusses NRF2's impact on oxidative stress, inflammation, cell aging, and various cell death modes (such as apoptosis, necroptosis, and ferroptosis) in OA-affected chondrocytes. The role of NRF2 in OA macrophages, and synovial fibroblasts was also discussed. It also covers NRF2's role in preserving the cartilage extracellular matrix and alleviating joint pain. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of NRF2's protective mechanisms in OA, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target and underscoring its significance in the development of novel treatment strategies for OA.</p>","PeriodicalId":16107,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Inflammation Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11424688/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142348250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
