Journal ArticleDOI

LY2439821, a humanized anti-interleukin-17 monoclonal antibody, in the treatment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis a phase I randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, proof-of-concept study

TL;DR: LY2439821 added to oral DMARDs improved signs and symptoms of RA, with no strong adverse safety signal noted, and supports neutralization of IL-17 as a potential novel goal for the treatment of RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoprotegerin reduces osteoclast numbers and prevents bone erosion in collagen-induced arthritis.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that short term Fc-OPG treatment has powerful anti-erosive effects, principally on bone, even though synovitis is not affected, and the potential utility of disrupting RANK signaling to preserve skeletal integrity in inflammatory arthritis is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence of melanoma and other malignancies among rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with methotrexate

TL;DR: Compared with the general population, methotrexate-treated RA patients have an increased incidence of melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and lung cancer, and there may be a role for regular skin cancer screening for all RA patients, particularly those receiving immunosuppressive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of osteoclast differentiation factor at sites of bone erosion in collagen-induced arthritis.

TL;DR: Focal bone erosion in CIA is attributed to cells expressing definitive features of osteoclasts, including CTR, and the expression of RANKL by cells within inflamed synovium suggests a mechanism for osteoclast differentiation and activation at sites of bone erosion.
