TY - JOUR A1 - Dorochow, Erika A1 - Köhm, Michaela A1 - Hahnefeld, Lisa Katharina A1 - Gurke, Robert T1 - Metabolic profiling in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis: elucidating pathogenesis, improving diagnosis, and monitoring disease activity T2 - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and psoriasis (Ps), represent autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders, as well as conditions that have an overlap of both categories. Understanding the underlying pathogeneses, making diagnoses, and choosing individualized treatments remain challenging due to heterogeneous disease phenotypes and the lack of reliable biomarkers that drive the treatment choice. In this review, we provide an overview of the low-molecular-weight metabolites that might be employed as biomarkers for various applications, e.g., early diagnosis, disease activity monitoring, and treatment-response prediction, in RA, PsA, and Ps. The literature was evaluated, and putative biomarkers in different matrices were identified, categorized, and summarized. While some of these candidate biomarkers appeared to be disease-specific, others were shared across multiple IMIDs, indicating common underlying disease mechanisms. However, there is still a long way to go for their application in a routine clinical setting. We propose that studies integrating omics analyses of large patient cohorts from different IMIDs should be performed to further elucidate their pathomechanisms and treatment options. This could lead to the identification and validation of biomarkers that might be applied in the context of precision medicine to improve the clinical outcomes of these IMID patients.
