Psoriatic Arthritis : What is Happening at the Joint?

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a heterogeneous and inflammatory disease with diverse clinical manifestations, including psoriasis, nail psoriasis, peripheral joint disease, axial joint disease, enthesitis, and dactylitis. Typically, this varied clinical presentation complicates the clinician's ability to distinguish PsA from other forms of arthritis. In the synovium of individuals with PsA, upregulation of the genes WNT3A, BMPR2, and TGFBR1 results in bone erosion and new bone formation, a pattern unique to the disease. Additionally, genes associated with angiogenesis and vascularization such as VEGF and TGFB1 facilitate inflammation and joint damage. Gross pathogenesis of PsA is driven by proinflammatory cytokines, and key cytokines affecting joint structures include tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17A, IL-21, IL-22, and IL-23. Early diagnosis is critical for providing treatment that prevents irreversible disease progression and function loss. This narrative review discusses differentiation of PsA from other forms of arthritis. Additionally, we detail the role of cytokines at the joint in mediating PsA pathogenesis.Funding: Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation.
