“…Serum levels of MMP-3 in particular have previously been found to correlate with disease activity in RA and MMP-9 in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which is another rheumatic disease [ 21 , 22 ]. MMP-3 and MMP-9 have also been found to contribute to inflammatory conditions in the skin [ 20 ].…”

Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical effect and serum markers in a cohort of rheumatoid arthritis patients with moderate to high disease activity, participating in an open clinical phase IV study conducted in Norway between 2001 and 2003 receiving infliximab treatment. Method. A total of 39 patients were studied, with a mean age of 54 years and 12-year disease duration. The analyses were performed using serum from patients at four assessment time points: baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months after starting treatment with infliximab. A wide variety of clinical data was collected and disease activity of 28 joints and Simple Disease Activity Index were calculated. The joint erosion was determined by X-ray imaging and the Sharp/van der Heijde score was determined. Serum analysis included multiplex immunoassays for 12 cytokines, 5 matrix metalloproteases, and 2 VEGFs. Results. The majority of the RA patients in this study had initially moderate to high disease activity and the infliximab treatment reduced the disease activity significantly and also reduced any further joint destruction and improved disease status. Most of the serum levels of cytokines and metalloproteases remained unchanged during the course of the study, and we were unable to detect changes in TNF-α in serum. Serum levels of IL-6 and VEGF-A decreased significantly after initiation of infliximab treatment. Conclusion. The serum levels of IL-6 and VEGF-A may be promising disease markers as they vary with disease progression. The clinical significance of these findings is yet to be determined and has to be confirmed in future clinical trials before being applied in the clinics.

“…Over the past decade, proteomics have yielded potential new candidates in the quest for better biomarkers for RA, including the S100 proteins, serum amyloid A, alpha 1-antitrypsin, and apolipoproteins in the blood [ 6 ]. In principle, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins (including enzymes, matrix proteins or their neoepitopes, autoantibodies, acute-phase proteins, chemokines, growth factors, cytokines and their inhibitors, and receptors) can be biomarkers for inflammation, connective tissue destruction, diagnosis and prognosis in RA (reviewed by Carrasco and Barton [ 7 ]).…”

It has long been recognized that laboratory tests are useful in the diagnosis of disease and to monitor treatment outcome. Their performance has become even more demanding with the development of personalized medicine. In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) the standard biochemical tests measure serological markers of disease, such as C-reactive protein, and RA-associated auto-antibodies, such as rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies. The information obtained from these markers does not, however, provide a complete picture of the disease and treatment efficacy. New biomarkers based on cytokine receptor complexes are promising for RA theragnostics.
