摘要
Objective This paper aims to explore the functional significance of the P2X(7) receptor in preclinical models of rheumatoid arthritis. Methods Preclinical studies in vivo were performed using the rat streptococcal cell wall (SCW) arthritis model. Ex vivo cultures of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/benzoylbenzoyl adenosine triphosphate (BzATP)-stimulated human monocytes were generated to test the activities of a novel, highly specific inhibitor of human P2X(7), AZD9056, on interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-18 release. Results P2X(7) receptor expression was detected in inflamed synovial tissue after onset of SCW-induced arthritis in rats. Inhibition of P2X(7) therein led to reduced articular inflammation and erosive progression. No effect was noted on acute-phase responses. Ex vivo, AZD9056 inhibited IL-1 and IL-18 release to BzATP in LPS-primed human monocytes. Conclusion P2X(7) receptor inhibition could represent a novel approach to the treatment of inflammatory arthritis. However, confirmatory clinical studies are warranted to further explore this possibility.
