Abstract
PURPOSE The association between insomnia disorder and cancer-related mortality risk remains controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between insomnia disorder and cancer-related mortality. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with musculoskeletal disease (MSD) between 2010 and 2015 were included in this study as a secondary analysis of a patient cohort with MSD in South Korea. Cancer mortality was evaluated between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, using multivariable Cox regression modeling. Patients with and without insomnia disorder constituted the ID and non-ID groups, respectively. RESULTS The final analysis incorporated a total of 1,298,314 patients diagnosed with MSDs, of whom 11,714 (0.9%) died due to cancer. In the multivariable Cox regression model, the risk of total cancer-related mortality was 14% (hazard ratio [HR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-1.19; P < 0.001) higher in the ID group than in the non-ID group. Moreover, the ID group had a higher risk of mortality due to esophageal (HR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.08-1.96; P = 0.015), colorectal (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.05-1.36; P = 0.007), head and neck (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.01-1.94; P = 0.049), lung (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.08-1.27; P < 0.001), and female genital organ (HR: 1.39, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.77; P = 0.008) cancers; leukemia; and lymphoma (HR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.12-1.49; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Insomnia disorder was associated with elevated overall cancer mortality in patients with MSDs, which was more evident for cancer mortality due to esophageal, colorectal, head and neck, lung, and female genital organ cancers; leukemia; and lymphoma.

Abstract
Protein kinases play a major role in cellular activation processes, including signal transduction by diverse immunoreceptors. Given their roles in cell growth and death and in the production of inflammatory mediators, targeting kinases has proven to be an effective treatment strategy, initially as anticancer therapies, but shortly thereafter in immune-mediated diseases. Herein, we provide an overview of the status of small molecule inhibitors specifically generated to target protein kinases relevant to immune cell function, with an emphasis on those approved for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. The development of inhibitors of Janus kinases that target cytokine receptor signalling has been a particularly active area, with Janus kinase inhibitors being approved for the treatment of multiple autoimmune and allergic diseases as well as COVID-19. In addition, TEC family kinase inhibitors (including Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors) targeting antigen receptor signalling have been approved for haematological malignancies and graft versus host disease. This experience provides multiple important lessons regarding the importance (or not) of selectivity and the limits to which genetic information informs efficacy and safety. Many new agents are being generated, along with new approaches for targeting kinases.

Abstract
In recent decades, insights into the molecular pathways involved in disease have revolutionized the treatment of autoimmune diseases. A plethora of targeted therapies have been identified and are at varying stages of clinical development in renal autoimmunity. Some of these agents, such as rituximab or avacopan, have been approved for the treatment of immune-mediated kidney disease, but kidney disease lags behind more common autoimmune disorders in new drug development. Evidence is accumulating as to the importance of adaptive immunity, including abnormalities in T-cell activation and signaling, and aberrant B-cell function. Furthermore, innate immunity, particularly the complement and myeloid systems, as well as pathologic responses in tissue repair and fibrosis, play a key role in disease. Collectively, these mechanistic studies in innate and adaptive immunity have provided new insights into mechanisms of glomerular injury in immune-mediated kidney diseases. In addition, inflammatory pathways common to several autoimmune conditions exist, suggesting that the repurposing of some existing drugs for the treatment of immune-mediated kidney diseases is a logical strategy. This new understanding challenges the clinical investigator to translate new knowledge into novel therapies leading to better disease outcomes. This review highlights promising immunomodulatory therapies tested for immune-mediated kidney diseases as a primary indication, details current clinical trials and discusses pathways that could be targeted in the future.

Abstract
Diseases affecting the soft tissues of the joint represent a considerable global health burden, causing pain and disability and increasing the likelihood of developing metabolic comorbidities. Current approaches to investigating the cellular basis of joint diseases, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, tendinopathy, and arthrofibrosis, involve well phenotyped human tissues, animal disease models, and in-vitro tissue culture models. Inherent challenges in preclinical drug discovery have driven the development of state-of-the-art, in-vitro human tissue models to rapidly advance therapeutic target discovery. The clinical potential of such models has been substantiated through successful recapitulation of the pathobiology of cancers, generating accurate predictions of patient responses to therapeutics and providing a basis for equivalent musculoskeletal models. In this Review, we discuss the requirement to develop physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) culture systems that could advance understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of diseases that affect the soft tissues of the joint. We discuss the practicalities and challenges associated with modelling the complex extracellular matrix of joint tissues-including cartilage, synovium, tendon, and ligament-highlighting the importance of considering the joint as a whole organ to encompass crosstalk across tissues and between diverse cell types. The design of bespoke in-vitro models for soft-tissue joint diseases has the potential to inform functional studies of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying disease onset, progression, and resolution. Use of these models could inform precision therapeutic targeting and advance the field towards personalised medicine for patients with common musculoskeletal diseases.

Abstract
Biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are widely used for the management of rheumatoid arthritis, although their benefits are counterweight by an increased risk of infections. In the present study, we used administrative data to compare the risk of severe infections among different classes of bDMARDs. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using Administrative Health Databases of the Piedmont Region, Italy. Relevant data were obtained from: (1) the inhabitants registry, (2) hospital discharge records, and (3) the co-payment exemption registry and (4) drug claims registry. Fine and Gray competing risk models were fitted to evaluate the association between the use of different types of bDMARDs and occurrence of severe infection accounting for treatment interruption as competing risk. A total of 1780 new users of bDMARDs were identified. Among them, 50 hospitalizations for infection occurred during the study period. The use of Tocilizumab was associated with an increased risk of infection, compared to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor drugs (sub-distribution hazard ratios-sHR: 2.510; 95% CI: 1.279–4.926), whereas no difference in the risk of severe infection was found for abatacept (sHR: 0.584; 95% CI: 0.234–1.457). bDMARDs treatment is generally safe in clinical practice with slight but important differences among classes. The increased risk of infection associated with tocilizumab use should be taken into account when balancing the risk and benefits of starting a treatment with this drug.

Abstract
The use of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors has changed the management of patients with B-cell lymphoid malignancies. BTK is an important molecule that interconnects B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signaling. BTK inhibitors (BTKis) are classified into three categories, namely covalent irreversible inhibitors, covalent reversible inhibitors, and non-covalent reversible inhibitors. Ibrutinib is the first covalent, irreversible BTK inhibitor approved in 2013 as a breakthrough therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. Subsequently, two other covalent, irreversible, second-generation BTKis, acalabrutinib and zanubrutinib, have been developed for lymphoid malignancies to reduce the ibrutinib-mediated adverse effects. More recently, irreversible and reversible BTKis have been under development for immune-mediated diseases, including autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, multiple sclerosis, pemphigus vulgaris, atopic dermatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s disease, and chronic spontaneous urticaria, among others. This review article summarizes the preclinical and clinical evidence supporting the role of BTKis in various autoimmune, allergic, and inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a disease characterised by inflammation of synovial joints and poses a substantial healthcare burden on both the individual and society. One of the most significant shifts in the RA therapeutic landscape has occurred with the introduction of biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). There are five classes of bDMARDs currently available, each with a different molecular target and subtle differences in their efficacy and safety profile. This review also describes the “real-world” use of bDMARDs and how they fit into the overall RA treatment guidelines.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects approximately 1% of the adult population. RA is multi-factorial, and as such our understanding of the molecular pathways involved in the disease is currently limited. An increasing number of studies have suggested that several molecular phenotypes (i.e. endotypes) of RA exist, and that different endotypes respond differently to various treatments. Biochemical markers may be an attractive means for achieving precision medicine, as they are objective and easily obtainable. AREAS COVERED We searched recent publications on biochemical markers in RA as either diagnostic or prognostic markers, or as markers of disease activity. Here, we provide a narrative overview of different classes of markers, such as autoantibodies, citrulline products, markers of tissue turnover and cytokines, that have been tested in clinical cohorts or trials including RA patients. EXPERT OPINION Although many biochemical markers have been identified and tested, few are currently being used in clinical practice. As more treatment options are becoming available, the need for precision medicine tools that can aid physicians and patients in choosing the right treatment is growing.
