Primate spondyloarthropathy

Abstract: Spondyloarthropathy is a common occurrence in Old World primates, with only limited presence in New World monkeys. Clearly distinguished from rheumatoid arthritis, this erosive arthritis afflicts 20% of great apes, baboons, and rhesus macaques and had been increasing in frequency. Habitat-dependent infectious agent diarrhea-induced reactive arthritis is implicated on a background of genetic predisposition. A gorilla-derived therapeutic preventative approach has possible application in human clinical medicine.

“…Joint pathologies such as osteoarthritis reduce joint mobility (e.g., Steultjens et al, 2000), limiting normal joint gliding movements by atypical bone growth, fusions, or joint erosions. Naturally occurring osteoarthritis and other inflammatory diseases of the joints are observed in catarrhines (DeRousseau, 1988;Rothschild and Woods, 1989, 1992bRothschild, 2005;Rothschild and Ruhli, 2005), although incidences of arthritis specifically at the anthropoid hip joint are either rare or under-reported (Schultz, 1944;Bramblett, 1967;Rothschild andWoods, 1992a, 1996;DeGusta and Milton, 1998;Nakai, 2003). In healthy joints, such as those sampled in this study, species-specific differences in observed ranges of motion are likely to originate from bony or soft tissue features.…”

“…Since seronegative arthritis often involves the spine, the term spondyloarthropathy (SA) has been used by some authors to refer collectively to these inflammatory syndromes. 210,211 Humans with SA commonly but not invariably carry the major histocompatibility complex class I allele HLA B27. 226 Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a symptomatic or asymptomatic disease of the spine and entheses of peripheral joints, especially in elderly men.…”

“…Sacroiliac joint fusion is commonly present as well, with or without involvement of 1 joints of the appendicular skeleton (generally <5; ie, pauciarticular). 210 Ankylosing spondylitis is a subtype of SA in which the combination of damage to intervertebral joints and fusion of vertebral bodies is the main phenotype. 215 In RA, there is symmetrical distribution, involving >5 joints, often beginning in distal ''small joints'' (eg, wrists, ankles, hands, and feet).…”

“…Removal from the social group disrupts the group hierarchy and deprives the sick animal of essential group contact. Diarrheal disease can also cause secondary pathologic changes in the cecum and colon, alterations in immune function, delayed or stunted development, and associated chronic disease such as reactive arthritis and amyloidosis that negatively impact animal health and the value of these animals for biomedical research [Blanchard et al, 1986; Desrosiers, 1997; Holmberg et al, 1982; MacGuire et al, 2009; Naumenko & Krylova, 2003; Rothschild, 2005; Sestak et al, 2003]. Finally, specialized housing, veterinary care, and the chronic nature of colitis increases operating costs for primate centers and other institutions that house rhesus macaques [Blanchard et al, 1986; George & Lerche, 1990; Wolfensohn, 1998].…”
