The bone-protective mechanisms of active components from TCM drugs in rheumatoid arthritis treatment

Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease whose hallmarks are synovial inflammation and irreversible bone destruction. Bone resorption resulting from osteoclasts involves the whole immune and bone systems. Breakdown of bone remodeling is attributed to overactive immune cells that produce large quantities of cytokines, upregulated differentiation of osteoclasts with enhanced resorptive activities, suppressed differentiation of osteoblasts, invading fibroblasts and microbiota dysbiosis. Despite the miti… Show more

“…The extract groups at doses of 17.5 mg/kgBW, 35 mg/kgBW, and 70 mg/kgBW had larger paw swelling volumes than those obtained in the Levamisole 25 mg/kgBW control group. This is suspected because ethanol extract of lime peel contains many secondary metabolites, one of which is flavonoids that have been extensively studied for their ability to enhance the immune system to stimulate inflammatory reactions and activate Th1 cells, which may proliferate and release cytokines causing increased blood vessel permeability, vasodilation, macrophage accumulation, and ultimately inflammation (Lu et al, 2022). Levamisole itself has no significant effect on T cell or natural killer (NK) cell activation and cannot enhance lymphocyte proliferation but can increase IL-12 and IL-10 production (Asfianti et al, 2022).…”

“…Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-based treatments have considerable therapeutic efficacy and cause few side effects in RA ( 56 , 57 ). Moreover, the potential success of TCM in treating RA may be partially attributed to its ability to alter the composition of the gut microbes ( 58 , 59 ). Qingluo Tongbi decoction limits inflammatory responses controlled by the gut microbiota and effectively treats arthritis in AIA mice ( 60 ).…”
