Introduction /objectivesSeveral biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) have been widely used for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These drugs target different molecules important for the pathophysiology of RA; however, only a few studies have compared the effects of these biological drugs on cytokines and bone metabolic markers. The main aim of this study is to clarify the effects of bDMARDs with different modes of action on the cytokine and bone metabolic marker levels in patients with RA.Methods Patients with RA who were initiated on infliximab, tocilizumab, or abatacept as the first bDMARD were prospectively enrolled in this study. Serum cytokine and bone metabolic marker levels were measured longitudinally, and changes in their levels were compared.Results A total of 174 patients were enrolled in this study, with 55, 70, and 49 patients in the infliximab, tocilizumab, and abatacept groups, respectively. At six months, despite the similar clinical effectiveness of the three drugs, changes in the cytokine and bone metabolic marker levels were distinct; interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor-a levels were significantly increased with infliximab, interleukin-6 levels were increased with tocilizumab, and interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-8 levels were increased with abatacept treatment. Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin levels increased more significantly with tocilizumab than with infliximab, while osteopontin and osteonectin levels decreased with infliximab treatment.Conclusions bDMARDs with different modes of action exert different effects on the cytokine and bone metabolic marker levels in patients with RA.
