Several evidences support its role especially in bone complications of rheumatic diseases. In Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the Wnt signaling is implicated in systemic and localized bone loss, while available data of its role in Spondyloarthritis (SpA) are conflicting. In the last few decades, the quality of life of rheumatic patients has been dramatically improved by biological therapy, targeting cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of these diseases like tumor necrosis factor (TNF)\u03b1, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-17. In this review, we reviewed the role of Wnt signaling in RA and SpA, focusing on the effect of biological therapy on this pathway and its possible clinical implications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms20225552","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,7]],"date-time":"2019-11-07T06:52:36Z","timestamp":1573109556000},"page":"5552","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":108,"title":["Wnt Signaling and Biological Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Spondyloarthritis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3532-5791","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniela","family":"Cici","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Clinic, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Addolorata","family":"Corrado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Clinic, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1356-8423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cinzia","family":"Rotondo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Clinic, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9929-9177","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco P.","family":"Cantatore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Clinic, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, University of Foggia, 71121 Foggia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1428","DOI":"10.1002\/jcp.24326","article-title":"Systemic effects of Wnt signaling","volume":"228","author":"Maruotti","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
