Axial spondyloarthritis: a review in @jama.com by oomf (Mohamad Bittar) Thanks for sharing @ruthjeannapier.bsky.social @restovall.bsky.social pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39630439/
Multiple mechanisms play a role, including HLA-B27, gut microbiome, and
mechanical stress. The interaction between dendritic cells and CD8+ T cells, as
well as the activation of CD4+ T cells, promote an inflammatory cascade
characterized by the production of several cytokines including interleukin (IL) 23,IL-22, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor. With chronic inflammation, new bone
formation will occur. This is thought to be due to mesenchymal cell proliferation
leading to osteoblast differentiation, mediated by multiple signaling pathways
including Wnt, bone morphogenetic protein, and hedgehog.
