Whilst the drivers and perpetuators of autoimmunity in autoantibody-positive RA have started to be disclosed, autoantibody-negative RA remains puzzling, also due its wide phenotypic heterogeneity and its possible misdiagnosis. Genetic susceptibility appears to mostly rely on class I HLA genes and a number of yet unidentified non-HLA loci. On the background of such variable genetic predisposition, multiple exogeneous, endogenous, and stochastic factors, some of which are not shared with autoantibody-positive RA, contribute to the onset of the inflammatory cascade. In a proportion of the patients, the immunopathology of synovitis, at least in the initial stages, appears largely myeloid driven, with abundant production of proinflammatory cytokines and only minor involvement of cells of the adaptive immune system. Better understanding of the complexity of autoantibody-negative RA is still needed in order to open new avenues for targeted intervention and improve clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms222212386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,17]],"date-time":"2021-11-17T02:42:28Z","timestamp":1637116948000},"page":"12386","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["The Genetic, Environmental, and Immunopathological Complexity of Autoantibody-Negative Rheumatoid Arthritis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Ludovico","family":"De Stefano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, Via Aselli 43\/45, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernardo","family":"D\u2019Onofrio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, Via Aselli 43\/45, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Manzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, Via Aselli 43\/45, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlomaurizio","family":"Montecucco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, Via Aselli 43\/45, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5396-7077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serena","family":"Bugatti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Rheumatology, IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Foundation, Viale Golgi 19, 27100 Pavia, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Therapeutics, University of Pavia, Via Aselli 43\/45, 27100 Pavia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"R949","DOI":"10.1186\/ar1767","article-title":"Antibodies to citrullinated proteins and differences in clinical progression of rheumatoid arthritis","volume":"7","author":"Verpoort","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arthritis Res.
