UNLABELLED: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is immune-mediated, inflammatory disease that affects synovial joints, and characterized by inflammatory changes in synovial tissue, cartilage, bone, and less commonly in extra-articular structures. Docetaxel (DTX) is a semi-synthetic anti-neoplastic medication. Peptidyl-arginine deiminase type 4 (PAD4) is expressed in macrophages and neutrophils in RA synovial membrane. Their effectiveness is in producing anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA)-targeted citrullinated neoepitopes.
AIM: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of DTX in RA and the effect of methotrexate on PAD4 to investigate its potential as an RA biomarker.
METHODS: Forty male Wistar rats were divided into five groups of eight rats. Healthy rats formed the control group. The Second Group to Fifth group were induced with Complete Freund's adjuvant. The third group received DTX at a dosage of 1 mg/kg on alternate days, as determined by a preliminary experiment. The fourth group was given 1 mg/kg/week of methotrexate intraperitoneally. The fifth group was treated with a half dose of DTX and methotrexate simultaneously.
RESULTS: Significant Arthritis index and knee joint circumference decrease in the DTX group. No significant difference in body weight, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and white blood cell count between the groups. Neutrophile lymphocyte ratio showed weak correlation with ACPA, while PAD4 showed good correlation with RA markers. Level of ACPA, PAD4, TNF-α, IL-1β, and VEGF significantly decreased in the DTX group than induction group (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: DTX reduces the progression and joint destruction in rats induced by Complete Freund's Adjuvant which may due to inhibition of PAD4, TNF-α, IL-1β, VEGF, and ACPA. Also, methotrexate exhibited anti PAD4 effect.
