Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovial hyperplasia and the production of autoantibodies that target joint tissues, cartilage, and other bodily structures, ultimately leading to the destruction of bone and cartilage. Conventional therapies for RA only relieve pain and inflammation but do not repair damaged tissue. Furthermore, side effects and drug resistance associated with these conventional treatments have been reported in some RA patients. Consequently, the poor prognosis of the disease and the lack of a definitive cure have prompted researchers to explore alternative treatment options. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent one such promising therapeutic approach.
Methods: The therapeutic effects of MSCs have been evaluated in various research phases, including numerous clinical trials. This review aims to examine and present the immunological effects of MSC-based treatment for RA, based on studies published in the Web of Science and PubMed databases over the past 15 years.
Findings: The results of various studies indicate that MSCs can effectively reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in patients with RA by modulating immune system responses.
Conclusion: Considering the side effects associated with conventional therapies for RA and the drug resistance observed in some patients, alternative therapies such as MSCs may offer new opportunities for the management and treatment of this disease.
