These results corroborate the idea that citrullination is intimately involved in the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis and complete our model the rheumatoid arthritis cycle for the development and chronic nature of this disease. Rheumatoid arthritis RA is a chronic progressive inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of several autoantibodies. Among the autoantibodies detected in RA only rheumatoid factor and anti-citrullinated protein peptide antibodies ACPAs are considered clinically useful. Both the measurement of antibodies directed against cyclic citrullinated peptides CCP and rheumatoid factor determinations are commonly used in daily clinical practice. Because of the extreme specificity of ACPAs we and others have previously proposed that these antibodies might be involved in the pathophysiology of RA. Since then experimental evidence supporting several pieces of the RA cycle Figure 1 has been obtained. In the previous issue of Arthritis Research Therapy Zhao and colleagues 1 fill .
