In the present study, our objective is to investigate the functional roles and mechanisms of BG in the context of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> A rat model of adjuvant\u2010induced arthritis (AIA) was established by administering complete Freund\u2019s adjuvant (CFA). The viability of BG\u2010mediated AIA was evaluated by assessing changes in rat body weight, joint swelling, ankle joint pathology, inflammation, necroptosis, the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), and gut microbiota.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The results of the study showed that peptide BG was effective in improving weight loss, joint swelling, serum IgM\u2010rheumatoid factor (IgM\u2010RF) level, and pathological injury of ankle joint in rats with AIA. BG administration resulted in a decrease in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, serum C\u2010reactive protein (CRP), and inflammatory factor (interferon\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b3<\/jats:italic> (IFN\u2010\u03b3), interleukin\u20101<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> (IL\u20101<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>), and tumor necrosis factor\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> (TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>)) in AIA rats. Additionally, the administration of CFA resulted in an increase in the protein levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil elastase (NE), citrullinated histone H3 (CitH3), peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4), p\u2010mixed lineage kinase domain\u2010like (p\u2010MLKL), and cleaved caspase 8. However, this increase was found to be inhibited by BG treatment.
