Learn MoreObjectives: To predict response prior to anti-TNF treatment and comprehensively understand the mechanism how patients respond differently to anti-TNF treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Gene expression and/or DNA methylation profiling on PBMC, monocytes, and CD4+ T cells, from 80 RA patients before initiating either adalimumab (ADA) or etanercept (ETN) therapy was studied. After 6-month treatment response was evaluated according to the EULAR criteria of disease response. Differential expression and methylation analyses were performed to identify the response-associated transcriptional and epigenetic signatures. Machine learning models were built using these signatures by random forest algorithm to predict response prior to anti-TNF treatment and were further validated by a follow-up study. Results: Transcriptional signatures in ADA and ETN responders are divergent in PBMCs, and this phenomenon was reproduced in monocytes and CD4+ T cells. The genes upregulated in CD4+ T cells of ADA responders were enriched in the TNF signaling pathway, while very few pathways were differential in monocytes. Differential methylation positions (DMPs) of responders to ETN but not to ADA are majorly hypermethylated. The machine learning models to predict the response to ADA and ETN using differential genes reached overall accuracy of 85.9% and 79%, respectively. The models using DMPs reached overall accuracy of 84.7% and 88% for ADA and ETN, respectively. A follow-up study validated the high performance of these models. Conclusions: Machine learning models based on these molecular signatures could accurately predict response before ADA and ETN treatment, paving the path towards personalized anti-TNF treatment.
