Assess differences in lymphatic function of RA hands with active synovitis versus healthy controls (Ctl) via near infrared-indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) imaging. NIR imaging of 13 Ctl and 8 RA subjects with active disease (DAS28 > 4.4) was performed following web space injection of 0.1ml of 100μM ICG. Percent ICG retention from the web spaces was determined via NIR imaging at baseline and 7±1 day after the initial injections; image analysis provided contraction frequency. ICG+ LV length and branching architecture. Retention of ICG in RA hands increased compared to Ctl (84±28% vs. 53±19% respectively; p<0.01). The average contraction frequency in ICG+ LV between Ctl and RA subjects (0.51±0.35 vs 0.53±0.39 contractions/min) did not differ. Total ICG+ LV length in RA hands was reduced (58.3±15.0 vs. 71.4±16.1cm; p<0.001), concomitant with a decrease in the number ICG+ basilic-LVs vs. Ctl (p<0.05). Lymphatic drainage in the hands of RA patients with active disease was reduced compared to controls. This reduction was associated with less total length of ICG+ LVs on the dorsal surface of the hands, which continued to contract at a similar rate to controls. These findings provide a plausible mechanism for exacerbation of synovitis and joint damage. Specifically, the accumulation and retention of inflammatory cells and catabolic factors in RA joints due to impaired efferent lymphatic flow. NIR-ICG imaging of RA hands is feasible and warrants formal investigation as a primary outcome measure of arthritis disease severity and/or persistence in future clinical trials.
