PathologySpondylarthropathies

The abnormal inflammatory response characterizes these conditions:The abnormal inflammatory response characterizes these conditions:

Enthesitis and synovitis are the fundamental pathological characteristics in SpA

The inflammation occurs primarily at the enthesis or at the synovium?

Target of inflammation: hypothesisSpondylarthropathies

I- Primarily enthesial disease

• Postulated during the 70’s Ball and co-workers: First description of inflammation at the enthesis on SpA

• Reviewed by Fourier et al. (2004): “entheseal territory” - Broaden the concept of “entheses” to include the

amphiarthroses and diartho-amphiarthroses

main and initial target of the disease process in SpAmain and initial target of the disease process in SpA

• McGonagle & Benjamin research group: “enthesis organ”

Primary event: Enthesitis (fibrocartilaginous enthesis)

Secondary spread of inflammation to the synovium

Spondylarthropathies Target of inflammation: hypothesis

II The synoviumII- The synovium

O h li f h i fl f h j i b l i d b h i i l • Other lines of research : inflammatory process of the joints cannot be explained by enthesitis alone.

[François et al., 2000; François et al., 2001; Lories et al., 2004; Helliwell & Porter, 2007]

III - The bone

• Other lines of research : crucial role of bone marrow inflammation, as initial process in SpA. Autoimmunity is at the core of this proposal

[Jacques et al., 2008]

Entheses Spondylarthropathies

In SpA , the lesions at entheses are important features

The scrutiny of these conditions should be performed when analyzing entesophytes

on the research of human activity patterns. y p

How attainable is to identify SpA in paleopathology ?

Hypothesis: Methodological impact on the assessment of spondylarthropathies in past populationsHypothesis: Methodological impact on the assessment of spondylarthropathies in past populations

Based on previous paleopathology data

• Considered rare

• Variation of the diagnostic criteria used

• Scarce population approach to SpA

• Existent studies present accentuated range of disease prevalence

Clinical Data

• Reduced assessment of occurrence of peripheral entheses - under diagnosed

• Generally co-exists with other clinical manifestations of SpA, but isolated occurrence was reported by D’Agostino & Olivieri (2006): 14% of individuals with juvenile onset disease and 9% reported by D Agostino & Olivieri (2006): 14% of individuals with juvenile-onset disease and 9% with late-onset

Peripheral Enthesitis

• Peripheral enthesitis: observed in all forms of SpA and all phases (D’Agostino & Olivieri, 2006)

ConclusionSpondylarthropathies

Even if SpA diagnosis is problematic - methodological controversy

E h f h i d l i Each of the mentioned lesions

• Sacroiliac or zygapophyseal joints: erosion/ new bone formation or intra-

articular ankylosisRelevant Signs

articular ankylosis

• Syndesmophytes To be considered on the

evaluation of entesophytes• Presence of paramarginal (paravertebral) ossifications

• Erosive lesions with bone proliferation or intra-articular ankylosis on the

evaluation of entesophytes

as activity marker

peripheral joints


• Methodological impact on the assessment of SpA : limits population comparison

without taking into consideration the diagnostic criteria applied

• Further research on the variability of the morphology of lesion is required

• Improvement of differential diagnosis

• Enthesitis is key feature of SpA: although the more distinctive are the ones of the

axial skeletonaxial skeleton

• The recognition of the SpA is important on the analysis of markers of activityThe recognition of the SpA is important on the analysis of markers of activity
