Identification of heterogenous treatment response trajectories to anti-IL6 receptor treatment in rheumatoid arthritis.

ABSTRACT: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with fluctuating course of progression. Despite substantial improvement in treatments in recent years, treatment response is still not guaranteed. The aim of this study was to identify variation in Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) of RA patients in response to Tocilizumab, and to investigate both molecular and clinical factors influencing response. Clinical and biochemical data for 485 RA patients receiving Tocilizumab in combination with methotrexate were extracted from the LITHE phase III clinical study (NCT00106535), and post-hoc analysis conducted. Latent class mixed models were used to identify statistically distinct trajectories of DAS28 after the initiation of treatment. Biomarker measurements were then analysed cross-sectionally and temporally, to characterise patients by serological biomarkers and clinical factors. We identified three distinct trajectories of drug response: class 1 (n?=?85, 17.5%), class 2 (n?=?338, 69.7%) and class 3 (n?=?62, 12.8%). All groups started with high DAS28 on average (DAS28?>?5.1). Class 1 showed the least reduction in DAS28, with significantly more patients seeking escape therapy (p?

Project description:In 15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis the baseline expression (t=0) of type I IFN-regulated genes was determined in peripheral blood cells (PAXgene) using cDNA-microarrays and compared to levels one month after (t=1) anti-TNF treatment (infliximab). Therefore, we used 43K cDNA microarrays from the Stanford Functional Genomics Facility (http://microarray.org/sfgf/) printed on aminosilane-coated slides containing ~20.000 unique genes. Only one batch of arrays was used for all experiments. First DNA spots were UV-cross linked to the slide using 150-300 mJoules. Sample preparation and microarray hybridization were performed as described previously (1,2). Data storage and filtering was performed using the Stanford Microarray Database (http://genome-www5.stanford.edu//) as described previously. 1. van der Pouw Kraan TC, Wijbrandts CA, van Baarsen LG, Voskuyl AE, Rustenburg F, Baggen JM et al.: Rheumatoid arthritis subtypes identified by genomic profiling of peripheral blood cells: assignment of a type I interferon signature in a subpopulation of patients.

Abbreviations: - Bnrs are the different patients analyzed - PAX or Paxgene indicates the total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood obtained in PAXgene tubes - CRS: common reference sample: We made a common reference that consisted of a mixture of mRNAs isolated from 11 different cell lines (Perou CM, Jeffrey SS, van de RM et al. Distinctive gene expression patterns in human mammary epithelial cells and breast cancers. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1999; 96:9212-9217) supplemented with RNA from rheumatoid synovial tissue, fibroblasts, and activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). - PMT: photomultiplier tube: the sensitivity/intensity of the scanner can be adjusted to prevent spot saturation.
