Аннотация
We describe the study of a novel aptamer-based candidate for treatment of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis. The candidate is a nanoparticle-formulated cyclic citrullinated peptide aptamer, which targets autoantibodies and/or the immune reactions leading to antibody production. Due to its specificity, the peptide aptamer nanoparticles might not interfere with normal immune functions as seen with other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Over a 3-week course of treatment, joint swelling and arthritis score in collagen-induced rats were significantly decreased compared with animals treated with phosphate-buffered saline, unloaded nanoparticles, or nanoparticles with a noncitrullinated control peptide. The reduction in joint swelling was associated with decreased anticitrullinated peptide autoantibody levels in the blood. Treatment with aptamer nanoparticles also increased interleukin-10 levels. The effect seen with the proposed treatment candidate could be mediated by upregulation of anti-inflammatory mediators and decreased levels of anticitrullinated peptide antibodies.
