Research Article: Profiling of plasma extracellular vesicles identifies proteins that strongly associate with patient’s global assessment of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis

Date Published: 2024-01-11

Abstract:
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovial inflammation and cartilage/bone damage. Intercellular messengers such as IL-1 and TNF play a crucial role in the pathophysiology of RA but have limited diagnostic and prognostic values. Therefore, we assessed whether the protein content of the recently discovered extracellular vesicles (EVs), which have gained attention in the pathogenesis of RA, correlates with disease activity parameters in RA patients.
