| The prospective study will recruit 100 inpatients or outpatients for 18 years of age or over introduced to the Department of Rheumatology, Oita University Faculty of Medicine, who are not in remission state with DAS 28-CRP score (more than 2.3). Genetic polymorphisms of CYP3A or OATP1B was evaluated by identifying genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphism A6986G (CYP3A5*3) or A388G (SLOC1B1*1b) and T521C (SLOC1B1*5), respectively, using real-time PCR. The concentration of 4beta-OHC in plasma was quantified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) previously developed. The plasma CP-I concentration was determined using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The concentrations of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta) in the plasma are measured using each ELISA. The correlation between inflammatory cytokines and plasma 4beta-OHC or CP-I concentration is statistically analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient or Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Furthermore, using genotypes of CYP3A5*3 or SLOC1B1*1b and SLOC1B1*5, and background, the major factors that influences these concentrations are analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis. | — |
