Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor receptor Fc fusion Protein (rhTNFR:Fc) treatment on IgM-RF,IgG-RF,IgA-RF of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods A randomized,active-comparator controlled,parallel group study were conducted.110 patients were enrolled and were randomly divided to the treatment group,in which patients were treated with twice weekly subcutaneous injection of rhTNFR:Fc (25 mg) (rhTNFR:Fc treatment group,n=55),and the MTX froup,in which MTX (the mean dosage was 15 mg/week) (MTX group,n=55) for 24 weeks.Blood routine,IgM-RF,IgG-RF,IgA-RF,and disease activity score 28 (DAS28) were monitored.Student's t-test was used for statistical analysis.Results The level of IgM-RF decreased significantly in the rhTNFR:Fc treatment group 24 week(29±16) U/ml later.However,the level of IgG-RF(145±20) U/ml,IgA-RF(153±34) U/ml increased significantly in the rhTNFR:Fc group,and the level of IgG-RF (62±14) U/ml,IgA-RF (66-±19) U/ml decreased significantly in the MTX group.Conclusion Although rhTNFR:Fc,is effective in treating the clinical symptoms of RA,it seems to affect RF producing-B cells either directly or indirectly.
