DMARDs–Gut Microbiota Feedback: Implications in the Response to Therapy
Due to its immunomodulatory effects and the limitation in the radiological damage progression, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) work as first-line rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. In recent years, numerous research projects have suggested that the metabolism of DMARDs could have a...

Sumario: | Due to its immunomodulatory effects and the limitation in the radiological damage progression, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) work as first-line rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. In recent years, numerous research projects have suggested that the metabolism of DMARDs could have a role in gut dysbiosis, which indicates that the microbiota variability could modify the employment of direct and indirect mechanisms in the response to treatment. The main objective of this review was to understand the gut microbiota bacterial variability in patients with RA, pre and post-treatment with DMARDs, and to identify the possible mechanisms through which microbiota can regulate the response to pharmacological therapy. |
