Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a persistent systemic autoimmune disease with the hallmarks of swelling of the joint, joint tenderness, and progressive joint destruction, which may cause synovial inflammation and pannus as a basic pathological change, resulting in joint malformations and serious disorders. At present, the precise etiology and mechanism of pathogenesis of RA are unknown. The imbalance of immune homeostasis is the origin of RA. Hippo pathway is widely expressed in a range of cell lineages and plays a fundamental role in maintaining the immune steady state and may be involved in the pathogenic mechanism of RA. This study reviews the progress of Hippo pathway and its main members in the pathogenesis of RA from three aspects: regulating the maintenance of autoimmune homeostasis, promoting the pathogenicity of synovial fibroblasts and regulating the differentiation of osteoclasts. The study also presents a new way to recognize the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis, which is favorable for finding a new way for treating the rheumatoid arthritis.
