THE ROLE OF ADAMTS7 IN THE ACTIVATION AND PROGRESSION OF REACTIVE ARTHRITIS
Keywords:
A key mechanism in disease pathogenesis involves the activation of inflammatory cascades mediated by cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-17A, as well as enzymatic systems that damage cartilage and periarticular structures. ADAMTS7, a metalloproteinase, contributes to extracellular matrix degradation and has been associated with joint destruction in various rheumatic diseases.Abstract
Reactive arthritis (ReA) is a post-infectious inflammatory joint disease that may present as either a mild, self-limiting condition or progress to chronic erosive arthritis.
