About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Rheumatoid Arthritis focused on measuring Reverse Signaling, Anti-TNF

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • RA defined according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2010 criteria,
  • treated by anti-TNF + methotrexate, good responders in in one arm, and moderate or non-responders in the other arm according to EULAR (European Ligue Against Rheumatism) response criteria after three months of treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • contra-indication to anti-TNF
  • corticosteroid more than 10mg by a day equivalent prednisone,
  • modification of DMARD (disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs) in the last three months
  • comprehension trouble
  • Factors modifying CD36 -cluster of differentiation antigen 36- expression as diabetes mellitus, kidney disease, HIV

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

CD36 expression
Percentage of increase of CD36 (cluster of differentiation 36) expression induced by anti-TNF ex vivo after 24h of cell culture in two groups of human monocytes: monocytes providing of RA patients good responder to anti-TNF in one hand, and moderate or non-responder in the other hand.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Monocytes
Phenotype of freshly isolated monocytes before cell-culture
Nuclear translocation of NRF2
Nuclear translocation of Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) induced by anti-TNF ex vivo

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Blood test in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients with good response to anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (anti-TNF) and in patients with moderate or non-response will be done in the month following the evaluation of clinical response to therapy. Isolation of mononuclear cells and purification of monocyte by negative selection. Cell culture of monocyte in presence or not of anti-TNF for 24 hours and analyze of CD36 (cluster of differentiation antigen 36) expression (principal outcome). For secondary outcomes analyze monocyte phenotype, NRF2 nuclear translocation, and clinical data of patients.
