Popis: We evaluated the effect of abatacept treatment on osteoclast-related biomarkers and explored whether the biomarkers are associated with the therapeutic response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with abatacept. We enrolled 44 RA patients treated with abatacept from a multicenter prospective ultrasound cohort study of patients who received biologic or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug therapy. We evaluated the disease activity score (DAS) 28-CRP (C-reactive protein), musculoskeletal ultrasound scores including the total grayscale score (GS)/power Doppler (PD) score and the serum concentrations of isoform 5b of tartrate-resistant acid phosphate (TRACP-5b) and soluble receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (sRANKL) at baseline and at 3 and 6 months of treatment. “PD responder” was defined as a patient whose Δtotal PD score over 6 months was greater than the median change of that. Abatacept significantly improved DAS28-CRP as well as the total GS/PD score over 6 months. Serum TRACP-5b was significantly elevated and serum sRANKL was significantly decreased at 6 months (P
