Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To investigate the influence of smoking on biologics treatment in RA, the association between discontinuation due to poor therapeutic response and smoking status was analyzed in a cross-sectional way by using the“NinJa” Registry of Japanese patients with RA, by a multivariable logistic regression analysis. The rate of discontinuation due to poor therapeutic response was significantly higher in the patients with current smoking compared to those with either never- or ever-smoking in the TNF-inhibitor (TNF-i)treatment group. Using an immortalized rheumatoid synovial cell line, MH7A, cigarette chemical compounds known as AhRligands, themselves activated NF-kB and induced proinflammatory cytokines.They enhanced both TNFa-induced NF-kB activation and proinflammatory cytokine production. This enhancement was diminished significantly by a NF-kB inhibitor, suggesting a crosstalk between TNFa and smoke signalings in NF-kB activation.This may cause treatment failure of TNF-iin RA.
