ABSTRACT: Introduction
We previously reported a specific defect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) monocyte polarization to anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophages related to increased miR-155 expression in all RA patients except those receiving adalimumab (ADA). In this longitudinal study, we examined whether different tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were able to restore monocyte polarization to M2-like macrophages and their effect on the transcriptomic signature.Methods
M2-like polarization induced by human serum AB was studied in 7 healthy donors and 20 RA patients included in the ABIRA cohort before and 3 months after starting ADA or etanercept (ETA). The differential gene expression of M2- and M1-related transcripts was studied in macrophage-derived monocytes after differentiation.
