Disease response in rheumatoid arthritis across four biologic therapies associates with improvement in paraoxonase-1 activity and oxylipins.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is a high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated enzyme, that has been implicated as a biomarker of cardiovascular risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aimed to investigate how different biologic therapies affect levels of PON1 and oxylipins.

Methods

1213 adult patients with RA in the Comparative Effectiveness Registry to study Therapies for Arthritis and Inflammatory CoNditions cohort study with moderate-to-high disease activity (Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) >10) who initiated a new biologic (tocilizumab (TCZ), n=296; abatacept, n=374; tumour necrosis factor inhibitors, n=427; rituximab, n=116) were followed prospectively with serum specimens analysed for PON1 activity by arylesterase (ARYL), lactonase (LAC) and PON assa
