Overview

Pathophysiology

Adult-onset Still's disease is an automminue inflammatory arthritis that typically affects adolescents and adults ranging from age 16-40 years. Major etiological mechanisms behind cause a dysfunction of the innate and cellular immunity (limited) leading to activation of effector cells of the disease.

Putative triggers

Although the pathogenesis of adult-onset Still's disease is largerly idiopathic. Triggers of ASOD lead to activation of toll-like receptors (TLR) and activation of immune system. The following triggers may be implicated as factors responsible for generating key pathological processes occurring in adult-onset Still's disease (ASOD):[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)

  • Bacteria
    • Yersinia enterocolitica
    • Chlamydophila pneumoniae
    • Brucella abortus
    • Borrelia burgdorferi
  • Viruses
    • Rubella
    • Echovirus 7
    • Mumps
    • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • Fungi

Danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs)

  • Chemicals
  • Toxins
  • Stress

Immune dysfunction

Both innate and adaptive immunity play roles in the pathological evolution of adult-onset Still's disease with the dysfunction occurring in the innate immunity predominating the picture. The following dysfunctions are involved:

Innate immunity

  • Neutrophil and macrophage activation lie at the heart of pathogenesis of ASOD due to the effects of the proinflammatory interleukin-18 (IL-18) signalling.
  • CD64 a marker of neutrophil activation has been found to be upregulated in active ASOD.[9]
  • Macrophage colony stimulating factor, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and calprotectin are elevated and act as markers of active disease.[10][11]

Adaptive immunity

  • T cell activation has also been shown to play role in the pathogenesis of ASOD with Th1 subset prevailing over Th2 CD4+ T cells.
  • Increased number of Th17 cells derived from the differentiation of naieve CD4+ T cells due to to activation by interleukin-1 beta, transforming growth factor-beta and interleukin-6.[12]

Role of interleukin-1 beta

Interleukin-i beta plays a key role in producing major characteristic features of adult-onset Still's disease. The following processes are affected by an increased production of this key interleukin:

 Hypothalamic-pituitary axis influence

 Liver synthesis and secretion of acute phase proteins 

Osteoclasts activation and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) synthesis

Innate immune system cells activation

Increased gene transcription of proinflammatory molecules 

Role of interleukin-18

Role of interleukin-6

Role of interleukin-17

Role of interferon gamma

Role of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)

 Reactive hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 

Genetics

Associated Conditions
