Managing Psoriatic Arthritis With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and/or Uveitis.

ABSTRACT: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that presents with psoriasis (PsO), peripheral and axial arthropathy. The heterogeneity of disease presentation leads to the term "psoriatic disease (PsD)" which is thought to better encompass the range of clinical manifestations. PsA is associated with several comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome and other extra-articular manifestations including uveitis, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While novel therapeutics are being developed following advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, the diverse combinations of PsA with its various comorbidities still pose a clinical challenge in managing patients with PsA. This article reviews our current understanding of the pathogenesis of PsA and how various pathways in the pathogenesis lead to the two comorbid extra-articular manifestations - uveitis and IBD. We also review current evidence of treatment strategies in managing patients with PsA with comorbidities of uveitis and/or IBD.

Project description:Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease. Up to 40 % of patients with psoriasis will go on to develop PsA, usually within 5-10 years of cutaneous disease onset. Both conditions share common pathogenic mechanisms involving genetic and environmental factors. Because psoriasis is typically present for years before PsA-related joint symptoms emerge, dermatologists are in a unique position to detect PsA earlier in the disease process through regular, routine screening of psoriasis patients. Distinguishing clinical features of PsA include co-occurrence of psoriatic skin lesions and nail dystrophy, as well as dactylitis and enthesitis. Patients with PsA are usually seronegative for rheumatoid factor, and radiographs may reveal unique features such as juxta-articular new bone formation and pencil-in-cup deformity. Early treatment of PsA with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs has the potential to slow disease progression and maintain patient quality of life. Optimally, a single therapeutic agent will control both the skin and joint psoriatic symptoms. A number of traditional treatments used to manage psoriasis, such as methotrexate and cyclosporine, are also effective for PsA, but these agents are often inadequately effective, temporary in benefit and associated with significant safety concerns. Biologic anti-tumour necrosis factor agents, such as etanercept, infliximab and adalimumab, are effective for treating patients who have both psoriasis and PsA. However, a substantial number of patients may lose efficacy, have adverse effects or find intravenous or subcutaneous administration inconvenient. Emerging oral treatments, including phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors, such as apremilast, and new biologics targeting interleukin-17, such as secukinumab, brodalumab and ixekizumab, have shown encouraging clinical results in the treatment of psoriasis and/or PsA. Active and regular collaboration of dermatologists with rheumatologists in managing patients who have psoriasis and PsA is likely to yield more optimal control of psoriatic dermal and joint symptoms, and improve long-term patient outcomes.

Project description:ImportancePsoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, ie, Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic systemic immune-mediated disorders affecting an increasing proportion of adults and children worldwide. Observational studies have suggested an association between inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis and vice versa. So far, however, it remains unclear whether and in which direction causal relationships exist.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between inflammatory bowel disease, particularly Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis, and psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.Design, setting, and participantsA bidirectional 2-sample mendelian randomization study was conducted using summary statistics from genome-wide association studies including up to 463 372 European individuals. Total and direct effects were derived performing an iterative radial and robust inverse-variance weighted method within the univariable and multivariable mendelian randomization setting, respectively. Causal estimates were verified using a validation inflammatory bowel disease sample, a series of pleiotropy-robust mendelian randomization methods, and sensitivity analyses based on a PhenoScanner search in conjunction with network analysis. Data analysis was performed from April to May 2022.Main outcomes and measuresInflammatory bowel disease, Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis were used as both exposures and outcomes.ResultsThe European samples included 12 882 cases of inflammatory bowel disease and 5621 cases of psoriasis. The proportion of women ranged between 48% and 56%. Genetically predicted inflammatory bowel disease was associated with higher risk of psoriasis (pooled odds ratio [OR], 1.10; 95% CI, 1.05-1.15; P < .001) and psoriatic arthritis (pooled OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.04-1.18; P = .003). In contrast with ulcerative colitis, the Crohn disease subentity was associated with psoriasis (OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.12-1.20; P < .001) and psoriatic arthritis (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.06-1.20; P < .001). Regarding the reverse directions, no notable associations could be found.Conclusions and relevanceFindings of this mendelian randomization study support a causal effect between inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis as well as psoriatic arthritis, but not vice versa. It seems that especially Crohn disease and not ulcerative colitis is responsible for the causal effect of inflammatory bowel disease on both psoriasis outcomes. These findings have implications for the management of inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis in clinical practice.
