ObjectivesT cells adhere to enthesis fibrocartilage via integrins and intrinsically require IL-17RA-mediated signals to maintain their effector function. We analysed CD29+IL-17RA+T cells in inflamed lesions and peripheral blood in patients with SpA and investigated their association with disease activity and therapeutic response.MethodsTranscriptome analysis of synovial fluid T cells from PsA was performed using publicly available bulk cell RNA sequencing data. Blood samples were obtained from healthy controls (n= 37), RA (n= 12), IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD;n= 12), large vessel vasculitis (LVV;n= 12) and SpA (n= 28) and were analysed by flow cytometry.ResultsT cells in the inflamed joints of PsA showed CD29 and IL-17RA expression. CD29+IL-17RA+T cells showed enriched CXCR3+CD45RA+effector cells and activation of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk), nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and Janus kinase–signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathways. The proportion of peripheral blood CD29+IL-17RA+T cells was significantly increased in patients with SpA compared with patients with RA, IgG4-RD or LVV and in healthy controls. Based on the ASDAS-CRP scores, the proportion of CD29+IL-17RA+T cells was positively correlated with disease activity in treatment-naïve patients with active SpA. Anti-IL-17 but not anti-TNF monoclonal antibodies reduced CD29+IL-17RA+T cells.ConclusionsCD29+IL-17RA+T effector cells with enhanced Syk, NF-κB and JAK-STAT pathways were specifically increased in SpA and were correlated with disease activity, implicating a role of this newly identified T cell population in the pathogenesis. Anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibodies may be effective for patients by reducing this pathogenic T cell population.
