Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX) is the first line drug for the treatment of a number of rheumatic and non-rheumatic disorders. It is currently used as an anchor disease, modifying anti-rheumatic drug in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite the development of numerous new targeted therapies, MTX remains the backbone of RA therapy due to its potent efficacy and tolerability. There has been also a growing interest in the use of MTX in the treatment of chronic viral mediated arthritis. Many viruses—including old world alphaviruses, Parvovirus B19, hepatitis B/C virus, and human immunodeficiency virus—have been associated with arthritogenic diseases and reminiscent of RA. MTX may provide benefits although with the potential risk of attenuating patients’ immune surveillance capacities. In this review, we describe the emerging mechanisms of action of MTX as an anti-inflammatory drug and complementing its well-established immunomodulatory activity. The mechanisms involve adenosine signaling modulation, alteration of cytokine networks, generation of reactive oxygen species and HMGB1 alarmin suppression. We also provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of MTX toxic effects. Lastly, we discussed the efficacy, as well as the safety, of MTX used in the management of viral-related rheumatic syndromes.

<abstract><p>Methotrexate (MTX) is the first line drug for the treatment of a number of rheumatic and non-rheumatic disorders. It is currently used as an anchor disease, modifying anti-rheumatic drug in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite the development of numerous new targeted therapies, MTX remains the backbone of RA therapy due to its potent efficacy and tolerability. There has been also a growing interest in the use of MTX in the treatment of chronic viral mediated arthritis. Many viruses—including old world alphaviruses, Parvovirus B19, hepatitis B/C virus, and human immunodeficiency virus—have been associated with arthritogenic diseases and reminiscent of RA. MTX may provide benefits although with the potential risk of attenuating patients’ immune surveillance capacities. In this review, we describe the emerging mechanisms of action of MTX as an anti-inflammatory drug and complementing its well-established immunomodulatory activity. The mechanisms involve adenosine signaling modulation, alteration of cytokine networks, generation of reactive oxygen species and HMGB1 alarmin suppression. We also provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of MTX toxic effects. Lastly, we discussed the efficacy, as well as the safety, of MTX used in the management of viral-related rheumatic syndromes.</p>

<body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-ijms-20-05023"><title>1. Introduction</title>
<p>Methotrexate (4-amino-10-methylfolic acid, MTX), an analog and antagonist of folic acid, is commonly used in the treatment of a wide range of malignant and non-malignant diseases [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
].</p>
<p>Originally developed as an anticancer medication, MTX is currently the first-line disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and psoriasis, and is useful in inflammatory bowel diseases, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, systemic lupus erythematosus and other connective tissue diseases, and transplantation due to its beneficial anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
,<xref rid="B2-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
,<xref rid="B3-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
]. </p>
<p>MTX has also prompted a growing interest in the treatment of viral mediated arthritis [<xref rid="B4-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
]. Many viruses—including old world alphaviruses, Parvovirus B19, hepatitis B/C virus (HBV/HBC), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)—are associated with arthritogenic diseases [<xref rid="B5-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. Chronic viral arthritis can clinically mimic RA and last for months to years [<xref rid="B6-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. Given pathogenic similarities with RA, MTX may provide benefits in the treatment of chronic viral associated rheumatic disorders, although the potential risk to compromise patients’ immune surveillance to prevent viral reactivation may need to be considered [<xref rid="B7-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX is considered an essential medication by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is incontestably one of the pharmaceuticals greatest success stories as it found indications widely distinct from its original intention [<xref rid="B8-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,<xref rid="B9-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
]. Despite the introduction of a number of effective biological agents for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases and mainly RA, MTX remains one of the most efficient and most commonly used therapies against which the efficacy of new DMARDs is judged [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. MTX can be used both as first-line monotherapy in DMARD-naive patients [<xref rid="B10-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
], and as an anchor drug, in MTX-insufficient responders, in combination with other conventional or biological DMARDs to maximize therapeutic effects [<xref rid="B11-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
,<xref rid="B12-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Low and more infrequent doses of MTX are used to treat inflammatory diseases and compared with the 5 g/week doses used in the treatment of malignancy, once-weekly administration of MTX at 10 to 25 mg provides optimal clinical outcomes in RA, the commonest prototype of low-dose MTX indications [<xref rid="B13-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]. </p>
<p>Fundamental mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effect of high doses MTX on malignant diseases are currently well established; MTX as a folate antagonist, competitively inhibits the activity of folate-dependent enzymes and synthesis of purine and pyrimidine required for DNA and RNA production in rapidly dividing malignant cells [<xref rid="B14-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. However, mechanisms by which low-dose MTX exerts its therapeutic effect in inflammatory disorders are not completely elucidated.</p>
<p>MTX is known to have highly favorable cost-effectiveness and efficacy/toxicity ratios but toxicity is still a concern. The potential adverse events associated with MTX attract considerable attention as they represent the main cause of drug withdrawal [<xref rid="B15-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
,<xref rid="B16-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,<xref rid="B17-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. There are two broad subsets of MTX associated adverse events; Symptomatic but rarely life-threatening adverse events such as nausea, headaches, fatigue, mucositis and hair loss, and potentially life-threatening adverse events including cytopenias, interstitial lung disease (or MTX pneumonitis), and MTX related liver disease (fibrosis and cirrhosis) [<xref rid="B8-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. The precise mechanisms of MTX toxicity are still not clear. MTX mechanisms of action regarding efficacy and toxicity may be determined by either the same or different metabolic pathways.</p>
<p>This review will focus on the molecular mechanisms of action of MTX as an anti-inflammatory/immunomodulatory drug in order to further understand MTX therapeutic and toxic effects in inflammatory autoimmune disorders. We also review the efficacy and safety of MTX use in viral induced arthritis.</p>

<sec id="sec2-ijms-20-05023"><title>2. History</title>
<p>MTX, formerly known as amethopterin, is one of several folic acid antagonists originally synthesized in the 1940s for the treatment of malignancies and structurally designed to inhibit dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), an essential enzyme for purine and pyrimidine synthesis in cell proliferation [<xref rid="B18-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
,<xref rid="B19-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
,<xref rid="B20-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
].</p>
<p>The rationale for the introduction of MTX for the treatment of RA was assumed on its capacity to inhibit inflammatory and proliferative response of connective tissue. The closely related antifolate aminopterin, a synthetic derivative of pterin, was shown to suppress exudative and proliferative changes in experimental formaldehyde arthritis [<xref rid="B21-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
]. Aminopterin was gradually replaced by MTX due to its less toxic nature and the first documented clinical use of MTX for the treatment of RA was in 1951 [<xref rid="B22-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. MTX clinical potential as a RA treatment was suggested by Gubner, after studying the effects of MTX in RA patients, and was confirmed by well designed, blinded, placebo controlled studies conducted during the 1980s [<xref rid="B23-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. RA patients treated with MTX demonstrated improved global assessments of disease activity, joint scores, and marked decreases in pain. Since then, the use of weekly low doses of MTX has expanded to involve additional inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. </p>
<p>In 1986, MTX was licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of RA [<xref rid="B24-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
].The US FDA first approved the use of MTX only in life-threatening neoplastic diseases, or in patients with psoriasis or RA with severe, recalcitrant, disabling disease which is not adequately responsive to other forms of therapy [<xref rid="B25-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. Based on the American College of Rheumatology and the European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) recommendations, MTX should be started early in recent and/or undifferentiated arthritis evocative of RA [<xref rid="B26-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
], in order to prevent joint destruction and disability.</p>
<p>Improved understanding of the pathogenesis of RA led to the introduction of biologic treatment in 1998 [<xref rid="B27-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
] and despite the development of several targeted biologic treatments such as TNF blockers, MTX remains the cornerstone of RA treatment, alone or in combination [<xref rid="B28-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
].</p>
<p>Continuous efforts are devoted to derivatives of MTX in order to improve the pharmacological parameters of the parent MTX. MTX derivatives bearing dihydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine or dihydro-2H-1,4-benzoxazine applied on human synovial cells and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMC) have been reported to have enhanced antiproliferative activity and increased DHFR binding affinity compared with MTX. In vivo, benzothiazine and benzoxazine derivatives exhibited antirheumatic activity in a rat adjuvant arthritis model [<xref rid="B29-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
]. Similar activities were observed with MTX derivatives containing enantiomerically pure <sc>l</sc>

-<italic>threo</italic>
-γ-fluoroglutamic acid [<xref rid="B30-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
]. Didodecyl-MTX in lipid nanocarrier was found to reduce inflammation when administered via the intra-articular route into rabbits [<xref rid="B31-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
]. An optimized conjugate of MTX and hyaluronic acid (HA) was assessed on human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) and a synovial sarcoma cell line (SW982) and proved to be more efficient than the parent compounds to retrieve synovial inflammation in rat models [<xref rid="B32-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
].</p>
</sec>
<sec id="sec3-ijms-20-05023"><title>3. Pharmacokinetics of MTX</title>
<p>In the treatment of inflammatory autoimmune diseases, MTX is commonly administered orally as a single weekly dose. In clinical practice, treatment is initiated at the dose of 10 mg/week, with an increase of 5 mg every 2–4 weeks up to a maximum dose of 20–30 mg/week, depending on clinical response or intolerance [<xref rid="B33-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
,<xref rid="B34-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. The use of parenteral MTX, particularly in the form of subcutaneous (SC) injection, has recently gained great interest and is of greater benefit over the oral route. SC MTX, was shown to have greater clinical efficacy and improved tolerability compared to the oral form. SC MTX administration is currently recommended in cases of insufficient clinical response or intolerance with oral MTX [<xref rid="B34-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
,<xref rid="B35-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
]. In Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), MTX is proved to be efficient at the dose of 10 to 20 mg/m<sup>2</sup>
.</p>
<p>After oral administration, MTX is absorbed in the proximal jejunum by the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT/SLC46A1), which transports reduced folates and MTX [<xref rid="B36-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f001">Figure 1</xref>
). </p>
<p>A modest fraction of MTX may be metabolized to 4-amino-4-deoxy-N10-methylpterroic acid through intestinal bacteria [<xref rid="B37-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
]. MTX bioavailability is relatively high, in the range of 64–90%. However, bioavailability varies widely among patients and decreases with increasing dose with a plateau effect at doses above 15 mg/week, suggesting saturation of the intestinal transporters [<xref rid="B38-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
,<xref rid="B39-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
,<xref rid="B40-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
]. MTX maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax) range between 0.3 and 1.6 µmol/L, and occur at a T max of 0.75 to 2 h after administration [<xref rid="B37-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
]. Several studies have demonstrated higher bioavailability with SC MTX than with oral MTX [<xref rid="B38-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
,<xref rid="B39-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
,<xref rid="B41-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
]. SC MTX injection will lead to a linear, dose-proportional increase in the blood circulation and no plateau effect [<xref rid="B39-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
]. Around 50% of circulating MTX is bound to plasma proteins [<xref rid="B42-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
,<xref rid="B43-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
,<xref rid="B44-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>
,<xref rid="B45-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
]. MTX can distribute to the synovial fluid with comparable levels to those found in plasma [<xref rid="B43-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. MTX is subject to first-pass metabolism in the liver and is converted to 7-hydroxymethotrexate (7-OH-MTX), which is a major metabolite of MTX [<xref rid="B46-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
]. Renal excretion constitutes the major elimination route of MTX. The drug is filtered by the glomeruli, and additionally, undergoes active tubular secretion and reabsorption. A small proportion of MTX is excreted in the bile and some enterohepatic recycling also occurs [<xref rid="B33-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
,<xref rid="B37-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
,<xref rid="B46-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
,<xref rid="B47-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">47</xref>
]. The plasma half-life of low dose MTX varies from 4.5 h to 10 h [<xref rid="B43-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
,<xref rid="B48-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
]. MTX elimination is reduced in patients with impaired renal function, ascites, or pleural effusions. Such patients require especially careful monitoring for toxicity and require dose reduction or, in some cases, discontinuation of MTX treatment [<xref rid="B45-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>
,<xref rid="B48-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">48</xref>
,<xref rid="B49-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
].</p>
<p>Cellular uptake of MTX is mediated by reduced folate carrier protein 1 (RFC1/SLC19A1), with limited contribution from the α and β folate receptors [<xref rid="B33-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
,<xref rid="B36-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
,<xref rid="B50-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>
] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f002">Figure 2</xref>
). </p>
<p>Cellular efflux of MTX is governed by the ATP-binding cassette proteins (ABCC), which play an important role as transporters for a large number of drugs and chemotherapeutic agents [<xref rid="B36-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
]. Within the cell, a proportion of intracellular MTX is converted to MTX polyglutamates by the catalytic action of folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS), which adds up to seven glutamate residues to MTX [<xref rid="B51-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
,<xref rid="B52-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>
]. MTX derivatives with chains longer than three glutamate residues are not substrates for the ABCC exporter proteins and have therefore enhanced cellular retention [<xref rid="B51-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
,<xref rid="B53-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
]. Polyglutamation is reversed by a deglutamation process, which is catalyzed by the γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), producing a steady-state of intracellular MTX level [<xref rid="B53-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
,<xref rid="B54-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>
]. MTX-polyglutamates are found in red blood cells, neutrophils, mononuclear cells, hepatocytes, and synoviocytes after oral administration [<xref rid="B55-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>
]. Intracellular accumulation of MTX polyglutamates results in sustained efficacy of the drug and allows once weekly MTX administration in spite of its relatively short plasma elimination half-life [<xref rid="B37-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
,<xref rid="B51-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>
]. MTX polyglutamates are believed to be the active form of the drug as levels of MTX-polyglutamates correlate with clinical response in patients with RA [<xref rid="B56-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>
].</p>

<sec id="sec4dot1-ijms-20-05023"><title>4.1. Folate Antagonism</title>
<p>MTX is a drug that has seen wide applications in the treatment of malignant diseases. Its effectiveness is attributed to its ability to inhibit key enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of purines and pyrimidines, thereby limiting malignant cell turnover [<xref rid="B2-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. As a potent inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f002">Figure 2</xref>
), it reduces metabolically active intracellular folates decreasing the de novo synthesis of purines and pyrimidines (precursors of DNA and RNA) required for cellular proliferation [<xref rid="B2-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. It is, therefore, not surprising that it may find application in inflammatory diseases with a high turnover of inflammatory cells by inhibiting proliferation of the most rapidly dividing lymphocytes or other cells responsible for inflammation [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. MTX-mediated effects on T cell proliferation either in vitro or in vivo have been demonstrated. MTX at low concentrations was shown to inhibit purine synthesis and hence ATP and GTP pools in primary human T lymphocytes. Low doses MTX were found to be cytostatic and not cytotoxic, halting proliferation of mitogen stimulated T cells [<xref rid="B57-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>
]. In another study, Genestier and colleagues reported that low-dose MTX diminished antigen-dependent proliferation of T cells, taken from RA patients, through the induction of apoptosis. The effects of MTX on T cell function were completely reversed by thymidine or folinic acid addition [<xref rid="B58-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>
]. Clonal growth of T and B cells obtained from both peripheral blood and rheumatoid synovial tissues, but not synovial adherent cells, was inhibited by clinically relevant concentrations of MTX. Hypoxanthine and thymidine supplementation reversed MTX suppressive effects on T cell growth. Adherent synovial cells resistance to MTX was suggested to be associated with slow proliferation and the ability to synthesize nucleotides via salvage pathways [<xref rid="B59-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>

<p>Despite the in vitro and in vivo data, the observation that folate supplementation is not associated with any reduction in anti-inflammatory efficacy of MTX in patients with RA is strong evidence that other mechanisms must account for the anti-inflammatory effects of the drug [<xref rid="B15-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>

<sec id="sec4dot2-ijms-20-05023"><title>4.2. Effects on Extracellular Adenosine Accumulation</title>
<p>Adenosine is a potent anti-inflammatory mediator acting via interactions with a variety of immune-cell subtypes including neutrophils, macrophages, and T cells and modulating a vast array of physiological functions [<xref rid="B61-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
]. Several in vitro and in vivo studies provided evidence that enhanced adenosine levels mediate the anti-inflammatory effects of MTX as described below. </p>
<p>Adenosine acts via four G-protein-coupled 7-transmembrene-receptors (ADOR); adenosine receptor A1 (ADORA1), adenosine receptor A2a (ADORA2A), adenosine receptor A2b (ADORA2B), and adenosine receptor A3 (ADORA3). Adenosine anti-inflammatory effects are largely thought to be mediated via ADORA2A, and possibly ADORA3 stimulation [<xref rid="B62-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
,<xref rid="B63-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>
,<xref rid="B64-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>
]. Activation of the ADORA2A and ADORA3 results in a reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, and reduced matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) production [<xref rid="B65-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>
,<xref rid="B66-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>
].</p>
<p>The role of adenosine as a mediator of MTX anti-inflammatory activity has been proposed since the observation of the inhibitory effect of polyglutamated MTX on 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR) formyltransferase (ATIC), an enzyme required for de novo purine synthesis [<xref rid="B53-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
,<xref rid="B67-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>
].</p>
<p>Inhibition of ATIC by MTX results in intracellular accumulation of AICAR and its metabolites, which are inhibitors of two key enzymes involved in the catabolism of adenosine and adenosine monophosphate (AMP): adenosine deaminase (ADA) and AMP deaminase (AMPD) [<xref rid="B67-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>
]. By reducing the catabolism of adenosine and AMP, extracellular adenosine levels increase both directly and indirectly (by the dephosphorylation of increased adenine nucleotides). Of note, the generation of adenosine seems to be largely associated to the increased ATP and ADP release and cleavage (dephosphorylation) by the serial actions of the cell surface ectoenzymes ectonucleoside tri phosphate diphosphohydrolase 1 (also known as CD39) and ecto-5’- nucleotidase (also known as CD73), rather than direct adenosine release [<xref rid="B53-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>
,<xref rid="B68-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>
]. CD39 cleaves ATP and ADP to AMP, and CD73 cleaves AMP to release adenosine [<xref rid="B62-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>
].</p>
<p>In vitro, MTX treatment increased adenosine release from cultured human fibroblasts and endothelial cells and the released adenosine reduced neutrophils adhesion to fibroblasts. This effect was reversed by the addition of ADA [<xref rid="B69-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">69</xref>
].</p>
<p>In the murine air pouch model of inflammation, weekly intraperitoneal injection of low-dose MTX increased adenosine concentration in inflammatory exudates and inhibited leukocyte accumulation at an inflamed site. Injection of ADA or an ADORA2A antagonist but not an ADORA1 antagonist reversed the effect of MTX on leukocyte accumulation [<xref rid="B70-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">70</xref>
].</p>
<p>The role of adenosine as a mediator of the anti-inflammatory effect of MTX has also been further investigated in gene-knockout mice models. In a murine air-pouch model of acute inflammation, MTX treatment increased the adenosine levels in the exudates of all strains of mice. In wild type mice, but not in ADORA2A and ADORA3-knockout mice, MTX reduced leukocyte and TNF-α accumulation in inflammatory exudates, suggesting that both adenosine A2A and A3 receptors contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects of MTX treatment in the air pouch model of inflammation [<xref rid="B71-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">71</xref>
].</p>
<p>In a mouse model of peritonitis, MTX increased adenosine concentration in peritoneal exudates of all mice studied, and reduced the leukocyte accumulation and TNF-α levels in the wild-type mice and ADORA3 knockout mice but not in ADORA2A knockout mice suggesting that ADORA2A is the principal anti-inflammatory adenosine receptor in this model [<xref rid="B72-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">72</xref>
]. </p>
<p>These mechanisms of actions of MTX have been deciphered also in a 5′-nucleosidase (CD73)-deficient murine model associated with enhanced levels of TNF-α. MTX treatment reduced TNF levels in the exudates and increased exudate adenosine concentrations in wild-type mice, but not in CD73-deficient mice, suggesting that the majority of extracellular adenosine is derived from the cleavage of released adenine nucleotides [<xref rid="B68-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX has also been shown to induce adenosine release in humans. Riksen and colleagues demonstrated that MTX inhibits ADA in lymphocytes and potentiates adenosine-induced vasodilatation [<xref rid="B73-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">73</xref>
]. Despite the difficulties to quantify MTX induced adenosine release, owing to the extremely short half-life of adenosine in blood and tissues, the effects on adenosine antagonism by caffeine has been studied [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. Caffeine is a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist which has been proven to reverse the beneficial effects of MTX treatment in a rat adjuvant arthritis model [<xref rid="B74-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">74</xref>
]. However, the results of adenosine receptor blockade by caffeine on treatment outcome of MTX treated patients are conflicting. A study by Nesher et al. showed that high caffeine intakes are associated with reduced efficacy of MTX [<xref rid="B75-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">75</xref>

<sec id="sec4dot3-ijms-20-05023"><title>4.3. Effects on Polyamine Production</title>
<p>The ability of MTX to antagonize DHFR gives rise to decreased production of tetrahydrofolate (THF) and methyltetrahydrofolate (methyl THF) (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f002">Figure 2</xref>
) which are methyl donors in chemical reactions. THF and methyl THF are involved in the production of methionine and S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) and ultimately polyamines [<xref rid="B2-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. Polyamines, including spermine and spermidine, were found to accumulate in urine, synovial fluid and synovial tissue from patients with RA [<xref rid="B77-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">77</xref>
]. These polyamines are in turn, converted by monocytes into lymphotoxic products, such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide [<xref rid="B1-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]. By inhibiting DHFR, MTX decreases downstream mediators including methionine and SAM, thus decreasing methylation and subsequent formation of the potentially toxic transmethylation products, spermine and spermidine and therefore lymphotoxins [<xref rid="B78-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">78</xref>
]. However, other results suggested that the downregulation of polyamines synthesis does not explain the efficacy of MTX in RA. The transmethylation inhibitor, 3-deazaadenosine, showed antagonism of transmethylation in vivo, but had no clinical effects in RA [<xref rid="B2-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>

,<xref rid="B81-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>

,<xref rid="B81-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">81</xref>

].</p>
<p>MTX-induced ROS generation may be mediated by tetrahydrobiopterin depletion. MTX is a potent inhibitor of DHFR. DHFR catalyzes reduction of dihydrobiopterin to tetrahydrobiopterin which is a required cofactor for NO synthesis by nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) [<xref rid="B82-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>
]. Depletion of tetrahydrobiopterin uncouples NOS, leading to loss of NO synthesis and an increase in ROS production [<xref rid="B82-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">82</xref>
]. </p>
<p>In mice, both tetrahydrobiopterin and dihydrobiopterin bind endothelial NOS (eNOS) with equal affinity. Tetrahydrobiopterin drives NO production, whereas dihydrobiopterin promotes eNOS uncoupling and superoxide production [<xref rid="B83-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">83</xref>
]. </p>
<p>MTX treatment resulted in an elevation in dihydrobiopterin levels and a decreased tetrahydrobiopterin: dihydrobiopterin ratio in wild-type mice. These MTX-induced effects were magnified in tetrahydrobiopterin-deficient mice with marked reduced eNOS activity and increased superoxide generation [<xref rid="B83-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">83</xref>
].</p>
<p>In vitro, MTX-induced apoptosis in transformed human T cell line (jurkat cells) was found to be mediated by increased production of ROS and Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK) activation. These MTX-induced effects were reversed by the addition of tetrahydrobiopterin [<xref rid="B84-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>

<p>In contrast to T cells, MTX failed to induce ROS synthesis and JNK activation in FLSs, apparently because of the extremely low levels of NOS enzymes in FLSs compared to T cells [<xref rid="B84-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>

<sec id="sec4dot5-ijms-20-05023"><title>4.5. Effects on Cytokine Production</title>
<p>Cytokines are major mediators in inflammatory and immune responses and have been of great interest in recent therapeutic developments in chronic arthritis, initially with TNF-α as a pivotal targeted cytokine [<xref rid="B86-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">86</xref>

<p>The extent to which MTX modulates the pathogenesis of inflammatory autoimmune diseases via a direct effect on cytokine production by immune cells remains to be fully elucidated. </p>
<p>MTX has been reported to decrease TNF-α, IL1β, and adhesion molecules (E-selectin and VCAM-1) expression on RA synovial biopsies [<xref rid="B87-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">87</xref>

<p>MTX was also suggested to be able to interfere with the binding of IL1β to its receptor without affecting the integrity of the IL1 receptor or of the target cells, and therefore inhibit the cellular response to IL1β [<xref rid="B88-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">88</xref>
]. In a murine collagen-induced arthritis model, intraperitoneal MTX injection reduced TNF-α serum levels and production by splenic T cells and macrophages [<xref rid="B89-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">89</xref>
]. MTX strongly suppressed TNF production by T cells receptor primed T lymphocytes from both healthy donors and RA patients [<xref rid="B90-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">90</xref>

]. Furthermore, MTX reduced the production of TNF, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IFNγ, and IL-13 in T cells isolated from patients with RA. This suppression of cytokines was suggested to be due to the inhibition of the de novo synthesis of purines and pyrimidines since the addition of folinic acid or thymidine and hypoxanthine reversed the inhibitory effects of MTX on cytokine production [<xref rid="B92-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">92</xref>

<p>Co-culture of synovial fibroblasts and T cells from RA patients induced T cell IL-17, TNF-α, and IFNγ expression that contributed to increase fibroblast IL-15, IL-6, and IL8 expression. MTX inhibited upregulation of IL-15, IL-6, and IL8 by RA synovial fibroblasts stimulated by RA T cells. At the same time, MTX reduced IL-17 and IFNγ expression in T cells co-cultured with RA synovial fibroblasts (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f003">Figure 3</xref>

] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f004">Figure 4</xref>
). Importantly, MTX also inhibited NF-κB activity in FLSs [<xref rid="B84-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>
]. In contrast to T cells, inhibition of NF-κB activity in FLSs was found to be independent of p53 induction. MTX inhibitory effect on NF-κB activity was suggested to be mediated by adenosine release and activation of A2A and A3 adenosine receptors in FLSs [<xref rid="B84-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">84</xref>

<p>MTX inhibits production of inflammatory mediators such as and IL-6, TNF-α, IL1β, and MMPs [<xref rid="B85-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">85</xref>

<p>Activated by numerous cytokines and growth factors, JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays a critical role in inflammatory response as it contributes to the significant upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression as well as aberrant cell survival which are both associated with RA [<xref rid="B125-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">125</xref>
]. The canonical JAK/STAT pathway is responsible for the transduction of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of RA, including IL-2, IL-6, IL-12, IL15, GM-CSF, and IFNγ [<xref rid="B126-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">126</xref>
,<xref rid="B127-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">127</xref>
]. The binding of these cytokines to their membrane receptors leads to the activation of associated Janus kinases (JAKs) through a process of auto- or transphosphorylation on cytokine-induced receptor dimerization. These active JAKs are then able to phosphorylate specific tyrosine residues on the cytoplasmic tails of the cytokine receptors creating binding sites for signal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs). STATs are then phosphorylated by JAKs converting them to active transcription factors that translocate to the nucleus and drive the expression of multiple genes that are important for cell activation, localization, survival, and proliferation [<xref rid="B127-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">127</xref>

<p>Recently, MTX has been classified as an inhibitor of (JAK/STAT) signaling pathway [<xref rid="B128-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">128</xref>
] (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f004">Figure 4</xref>
). MTX was found to induce a dose dependent reduction of constitutive JAK1 phosphorylation in the Hodgkin lymphoma cell line HDLM-2. Moreover, MTX produced a dose-responsive reduction of both STAT1 and STAT5 phosphorylation [<xref rid="B128-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">128</xref>
]. Low-dose MTX was shown to strongly reduce levels of tyrosine phosphorylated STAT5, without affecting other phosphorylation-dependent pathways (Akt, cJun, and ERK1/2) [<xref rid="B128-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">128</xref>
]. MTX inhibitory effect on JAK/STAT signaling was found to be independent of its effects on folate metabolism, as suppression of STAT phosphorylation was not reversed in the presence of folinic acid. The exact molecular mechanism through which MTX may control the JAK/STAT pathway remains unknown. However, the effect of MTX on the JAK/STAT pathway suppression may represent a principal anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive mechanism of action of low-dose MTX. MTX may ‘dampen’ the pathological over-activation of the JAK/STAT pathway allowing the control of inflammatory diseases without preventing physiological activation [<xref rid="B128-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">128</xref>

<p>When released by activated immune cells (macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells) or by injured cells, HMGB1 acts as an important mediator of inflammation or alarmin and promotes acute inflammation and subsequent tissue repair [<xref rid="B130-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">130</xref>

<p>Previous studies have shown that HMGB1 is associated with chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases including RA [<xref rid="B135-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">135</xref>

<p>MTX was found to reduce HMGB1 expression in RA synovial tissues and to inhibit disease progression [<xref rid="B140-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">140</xref>

A relevant study showed that biotinylated MTX can bind to the K86-V175 fragment of HMGB1, which is the RAGE binding domains, to inhibit the interaction between HMGB1 and its receptor RAGE, thus inhibiting the development of inflammatory responses [<xref rid="B141-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">141</xref>

<p>Mononuclear macrophages can actively release HMGB1 in response to TNF-α and IL1β [<xref rid="B135-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">135</xref>

<sec id="sec5-ijms-20-05023"><title>5. MTX Adverse Effects Mechanisms of Action</title>
<p>Despite its widespread use in various autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, low-dose MTX is not free of drug toxicity. The most common MTX-related adverse reactions are gastrointestinal manifestations (nausea, vomiting, stomatitis, loss of appetite) and hepatotoxicity [<xref rid="B17-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. Generally, the main cause of MTX treatment withdrawal is not the lack of efficacy but toxicity [<xref rid="B17-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
]. Careful and appropriate patient monitoring (blood cell counts, hepatic enzymes, creatinine) should be performed periodically and appears to significantly minimize risks associated with MTX use [<xref rid="B142-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">142</xref>
].</p>
<p>The mechanisms of MTX toxicity remain unclear. Some toxicities—such as cytopenia, gastrointestinal intolerance, and stomatitis—mimic the manifestations of folate deficiency and can be prevented or alleviated by folic or folinic acid supplementation [<xref rid="B25-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. Toxicities unrelated to folate deficiency include nodulosis, pulmonary fibrosis, lethargy, fatigue, and renal insufficiency [<xref rid="B14-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. The understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action of MTX may help to explain many of MTX associated toxicities [<xref rid="B14-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
] (<xref rid="ijms-20-05023-t001" ref-type="table">Table 1</xref>
).</p>
<p>One of the major adverse effects of MTX is hepatotoxicity. Minor elevations in aminotransferases are common, but hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis occur infrequently during low-dose MTX therapy [<xref rid="B8-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. The mechanism by which MTX adversely affects the liver remains unclear. It was suggested that MTX hepatotoxicity may result from a depletion of hepatic folate stores and the accumulation of MTX poly glutamates in the liver [<xref rid="B150-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">150</xref>
]. A definitive relationship between folate deficiency and hepatotoxicity has not been experimentally confirmed. However, folate supplementation has been associated with a reduced incidence of hepatic adverse effects (elevated transaminases) induced by MTX treatment [<xref rid="B8-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
,<xref rid="B15-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX-related hepatic fibrosis was found to be mediated through an adenosine pathway. MTX was shown to enhance the release of adenosine from cultured hepatoma cells [<xref rid="B151-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">151</xref>
]. Ethanol, which is one of the most important causes of hepatic cirrhosis, has the same effect on hepatocyte release of adenosine [<xref rid="B190-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">190</xref>
]. Adenosine, in turn, binds to the adenosine A2A receptor on hepatic stellate cells, the principal fibrogenic cell type in the liver, and promotes collagen production [<xref rid="B151-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">151</xref>
,<xref rid="B152-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">152</xref>
]. Unlike wild-type mice, mice deficient for the adenosine A2A receptor were protected from developing liver fibrosis when challenged by hepatotoxin (carbon tetrachloride or thiocetamide) demonstrating the key role of adenosine A2A receptors in the pathogenesis of hepatic fibrosis [<xref rid="B151-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">151</xref>
].</p>
<p>Moreover, MTX is known to interfere with the generation of methionine from homocysteine (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="ijms-20-05023-f002">Figure 2</xref>
). Excess homocysteine can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress and promote fat accumulation in the liver. Homocysteine can also activate proinflammatory cytokines and hepatic stellate cells, leading to liver fibrosis [<xref rid="B153-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">153</xref>

<p>MTX demonstrates important toxic effects on the pulmonary system. The pathogenesis of MTX associated pulmonary toxicity has not been elucidated fully.</p>
<p>Acute pneumonitis is the most common type of pulmonary toxicity associated with MTX. Most researchers suggest that MTX pneumonitis is a form of hypersensitivity lung disease because of the presence of fever, peripheral eosinophilia, an increase in CD4+ (T-helper) cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, as well as a mononuclear cell infiltration of the lungs and granulomatous inflammation [<xref rid="B157-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">157</xref>

,<xref rid="B159-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">159</xref>
]. However, others suggest that injury may result from a direct toxic effect of MTX on the lung [<xref rid="B191-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">191</xref>
]. Evidence for MTX direct pulmonary toxicity has been proposed by Ohbayashi and colleagues; MTX was shown to induce alveolar epithelial injury and pulmonary fibrosis with a decrease of alveolar epithelial cells and an increase of fibroblast cells in mouse lung tissues [<xref rid="B160-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">160</xref>
]. Other researchers speculate that the immunosuppressive effects of MTX impair the host immune response and increase the susceptibility of the patient to acquired or latent viral infections (e.g., cytomegalovirus or Epstein–Barr virus) [<xref rid="B161-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">161</xref>
]. Moreover, MTX was found to induce MAPK pathways activation and to modulate cytokine expression which may contribute to the pulmonary inflammatory response [<xref rid="B156-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">156</xref>
].</p>
<p>Interestingly, MTX was reported to be associated with marked asthenia in patients [<xref rid="B171-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">171</xref>
]. This is possibly due to the release of adenosine in the CNS. Adenosine is known to have neuromodulatory properties and its accumulation in the CNS is associated with headache, nausea, and somnolence [<xref rid="B192-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">192</xref>
]. By acting at the A1 receptor on the perifornical lateral hypothalamus, adenosine may regulate wakefulness and somnolence, so potentially explaining the sleepiness experienced by some patients after MTX intake [<xref rid="B171-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">171</xref>
]. In children receiving high doses of MTX, severe sleepiness and coma have been described [<xref rid="B172-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">172</xref>
]. Bernini and colleagues reported that theophylline, a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist, could reverse the CNS toxicity of MTX in children treated with high doses of MTX [<xref rid="B172-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">172</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX-induced neurotoxicity may also be mediated by elevated homocysteine levels and their excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter metabolites, such as homocysteic acid and cysteine sulfinic acid, which may cause excitotoxic neural death [<xref rid="B173-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">173</xref>
].</p>
<p>An impairment of biopterin metabolism, leading to decreased monoamine neurotransmitters synthesis was also suggested as a possible mechanism of MTX associated neurotoxicity [<xref rid="B174-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">174</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX treatment is known to induce the formation of subcutaneous nodules, an accumulation of multinucleated giant cells derived from mononuclear cells [<xref rid="B169-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">169</xref>

,<xref rid="B193-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">193</xref>
]. Using an in vitro model of giant cell formation, Merrill and colleagues investigated MTX-induced nodulosis. They demonstrated that MTX enhances the generation of multinucleated giant cells, as does adenosine A1 receptor occupancy. This effect of MTX is reversed by a specific adenosine A1 receptor antagonist. Thus, MTX-induced nodulosis may be mediated by adenosine through the adenosine A1 receptor [<xref rid="B169-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">169</xref>

<p>It is well-documented that low-dose MTX can exhibit kidney damage [<xref rid="B162-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">162</xref>

,<xref rid="B194-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">194</xref>
]. However, the mechanism underlying MTX-induced kidney injury remains unknown. It has been reported that high dose MTX can cause kidney damage by the precipitation of MTX and its major metabolite, 7-OH MTX, in acid urine which may contribute to intratubular obstruction and impaired renal function [<xref rid="B37-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>

,<xref rid="B165-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">165</xref>
]. Kidney damage due to precipitation of MTX and tubular injury may occur with high dose MTX; but it is very rare with chronic low dose therapy. It was also suggested that MTX-associated renal injury may by mediated through the induction of adenosine plasma concentration and subsequent activation of A1 receptors in renal parenchyma, reducing renal blood flow and thereby diminishing renal function [<xref rid="B167-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">167</xref>
]. Recently, using a rat model with renal failure caused by low-dose MTX administration, Li et al. demonstrated that long-MTX administration caused MTX accumulation in renal tissue and severe glomerular and tubular injury through an increase in oxidative stress [<xref rid="B168-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">168</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX is largely excreted into urine. Impaired renal excretion of MTX and its accumulation in serum may lead to the enhancement of MTX toxicities and primarily bone marrow depression [<xref rid="B195-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">195</xref>
]. For this reason, low dose MTX is contraindicated if the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 30 mL/min [<xref rid="B196-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">196</xref>

<p>Many viruses have been associated with inflammatory arthralgias and arthritis.

<p>Alphaviral arthritis involves infection of periosteal osteoblasts with secretion of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and chemokines (CCL2).

].</p>
<p>Chikungunya (CHIK) is a rapidly emerging viral infection that can cause chronic, debilitating inflammatory arthritis [<xref rid="B210-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">210</xref>
]. Chronic CHIKV-induced arthritis can cause joint damage and worsening quality of life as severe as RA. Therefore, there has been increased interest in the use of DMARDS, and particularly MTX, in the treatment of CHIK arthritis [<xref rid="B4-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
,<xref rid="B211-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">211</xref>
,<xref rid="B212-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">212</xref>
].</p>
<p>Several studies support the use of MTX in chronic CHIK arthritis. MTX at 15 mg/week led to a positive therapeutic response in 75% of the 72 patients with post CHIK chronic inflammatory rheumatisms (pCHIK-CIR) who met criteria for RA, spondyloarthropathy, or undifferentiated polyarthritis [<xref rid="B213-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">213</xref>
]. Addition of MTX to sulfasalazine and hydroxychloroquine in non-responder patients with chronic persistent CHIK arthritis, resulted in significant improvement of clinical responses (MTX vs no MTX, 71.4% vs. 12.5%, respectively) [<xref rid="B214-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">214</xref>
].</p>
<p>In a recent unblinded randomized study, Ravindran and Alias demonstrated the efficacy and superiority of MTX triple therapy (MTX 15mg/week, hydroxychloroquine 400 mg/day, and sulfasalazine 1 g/day) compared with hydroxychloroquine alone [<xref rid="B215-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">215</xref>
].</p>
<p>Several other studies have reported complete resolution of chronic joint symptoms after MTX treatment without significant toxicity [<xref rid="B216-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">216</xref>
,<xref rid="B217-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">217</xref>
,<xref rid="B218-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">218</xref>
].</p>
<p>Malvy et al. studied the cytokine profile before and 4 months after treatment with MTX in a patient presenting progressive erosive arthritis after CHIKV infection. Clinical and radiological improvement was observed after 4 months of MTX treatment. High levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, TNF-α, and IFNγ) were detected in lymphocyte supernatants prior to MTX treatment. These proinflammatory mediators were markedly decreased after MTX treatment [<xref rid="B219-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">219</xref>
].</p>
<p>MTX may therefore provide benefits in the treatment of chronic CHIKV induced arthritis. However, concerns are raised about the safety of MTX use in virally induced arthritis owing to the potential capacity of MTX, as an immunosuppressant drug, to promote viral replication. MTX was found to enhance disease onset and severity in RRV infected mice with a significant increase in viral load in sera and quadriceps in comparison to non-MTX-treated mice [<xref rid="B220-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">220</xref>
]. However, other in vitro and in vivo data showed that MTX did not affect alphavirus replication. In human synovial fibroblasts infected with different MOIs of CHIKV and particularly with very low MOI in order to mimic in situ tissue settings of chronically infected patients, MTX was found to have no effect on viral replication [<xref rid="B221-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">221</xref>
]. In a mouse model of CHIKV infection, MTX treatment did not increase viral load in target tissues when compared to non-treated mice [<xref rid="B222-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">222</xref>
].</p>
<p>Polyarthralgias and polyarthritis have been associated with HCV infection and are amongst the most frequent extrahepatic manifestations in chronically infected patients with HCV [<xref rid="B5-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
,<xref rid="B223-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">223</xref>
]. The treatment of HCV-related arthritis is poorly standardized and often empirical. NSAIDs, low doses of corticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine are used in the treatment of HCV chronic arthritis, whereas MTX has been used less frequently [<xref rid="B223-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">223</xref>
]. The clinical use of MTX in the context of HCV chronic arthritis has only been studied on a case-by-case basis, due to its well-known hepatic complications and immunosuppressive effect. Consequently, there is a paucity of studies demonstrating the efficacy as well as the safety of MTX in the treatment of arthritis associated with HCV [<xref rid="B223-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">223</xref>
].</p>
<p>In a retrospective study on a group of HCV patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis, Nissen et al. found MTX efficacious and well tolerated [<xref rid="B224-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">224</xref>
]. The safety of MTX therapy was also investigated in RA patients with chronic viral hepatitis HCV. In a study on 600 RA patients tested for HCV, the two patients who had been treated with MTX showed normal transaminase levels [<xref rid="B225-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">225</xref>
]. Moreover, treatment of hepatitis C-positive RA patients with MTX for up to 1 year did not result in liver cirrhosis [<xref rid="B226-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">226</xref>
]<monospace>.</monospace>
</p>
<p>Arthritis occurs during both the acute and chronic HBV infection [<xref rid="B5-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
]. HBcAg was found in the synovium of patients with RA with chronic HBV infection [<xref rid="B227-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">227</xref>
]. The presence of HBV in RA synovium was suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of RA [<xref rid="B227-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">227</xref>
]. Some cases of HBV reactivation after MTX therapy in HBsAg-positive patients have been reported in the rheumatology literature mainly in the form of case reports [<xref rid="B228-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">228</xref>
,<xref rid="B229-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">229</xref>
].</p>
<p>More recent studies suggest that long-term MTX does not result in hepatitis B reactivation or on accelerated liver disease. Laohapand et al. found that none of HBV exposed patients had hepatitis B reactivation during an average of 9.9 years after MTX treatment [<xref rid="B230-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">230</xref>
]. In a population-based cohort study, Tang et al. reported no significant increase of liver cirrhosis in RA patients with chronic hepatitis C or B who received long-term MTX treatment [<xref rid="B231-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">231</xref>
,<xref rid="B232-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">232</xref>
]</p>
<p>The ACR guidelines recommend screening for hepatitis C and B in patients with risk factors prior to initiating MTX. Chronic hepatitis C or B is a contraindication for MTX therapy [<xref rid="B196-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">196</xref>
].</p>
<p>Various rheumatic manifestations with arthralgic disorders are commonly observed in HIV patients [<xref rid="B233-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">233</xref>
,<xref rid="B234-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">234</xref>
]. HIV-associated rheumatic syndromes can be managed with NSAIDs, DMARDs (e.g., MTX), and anti TNF-α therapies [<xref rid="B234-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">234</xref>
].</p>
<p>There are limited data on the use of MTX therapy for the treatment of rheumatic disease in HIV- positive patients [<xref rid="B235-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">235</xref>
].</p>
<p>Early reports of MTX treatment for HIV associated psoriatic disease discouraged its use because of the development of opportunistic infections (<italic>Pneumocystis carinii</italic>
pneumonia and Staphylococcus sepsis) and toxicities (leukopenia and toxic encephalopathy) [<xref rid="B236-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">236</xref>
,<xref rid="B237-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">237</xref>
]. Other reports have suggested a potential beneficial effect of MTX therapy in HIV infected patients [<xref rid="B238-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">238</xref>
,<xref rid="B239-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">239</xref>
]. Maurer et al. reported a case series of three patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis treated with MTX. Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis improved in all patients. No opportunistic infections developed in two patients; one patient receiving chemotherapeutic levels MTX for treatment of concomitant AIDS-associated Kaposi sarcoma, developed <italic>Pneumocystis carinii</italic>
pneumonia [<xref rid="B238-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">238</xref>
].</p>
<p>The management of rheumatic syndromes in the HIV-positive population is challenging. The decision to use low doses of MTX in cases of severe refractory disease should be made carefully with appropriate monitoring of HIV load and CD4+ counts. Concomitant prophylaxis for opportunistic infections and antiretroviral therapy should also be strongly considered [<xref rid="B237-ijms-20-05023" ref-type="bibr">237</xref>
].</p>

<sec sec-type="conclusions" id="sec8-ijms-20-05023"><title>8. Conclusions and Perspectives</title>
<p>A number of pharmacological mechanisms of low-dose MTX action have been proposed; MTX may induce inhibition of purine and pyrimidine synthesis, suppress transmethylation reactions and polyamines accumulation, and promote adenosine release with adenosine mediated suppression of inflammation and suppression of HMGB1 alarmin function. Some other proposed mechanisms of MTX activity include generation of ROS and alteration of MMPs production, PGE2 synthesis, and cytokine expression which may represent indirect effects rather than primary responses. Evidence also exists for MTX effects on several transduction pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of RA including JAK/STAT and NF-κB activation pathways. The disease modifying action of MTX is likely to result from a combination of all these mechanisms with pleiotropic therapeutic effects on various immune cells leading to an overall dampening of the inflammatory response. Low-dose MTX benefits a large number of patients suffering from various inflammatory autoimmune diseases but toxicity still a concern. Common side effects are observed in patients treated with MTX involving toxicities in a number of organs such as gastrointestinal tract and liver. MTX-related adverse effects may involve immunologic, inflammatory, or lymphoproliferative disorders. Improving the understanding of basic mechanisms of action of MTX provided further insights into MTX-associated toxicity. Some MTX-associated side effects are related to MTX mechanism of action and may be mediated through folate antagonism, enhanced adenosine release, or elevated homocysteine levels.</p>
<p>The understanding of the therapeutic and toxic mechanisms of action of MTX may be of further interest to identify new therapeutic targets to manage inflammatory and immune-mediated pathologies while minimizing the unwanted toxic effects. This is important for new drug design and the development of more targeted therapies to maintain efficacy while diminishing toxicity of the drug. MTX has also prompted a growing interest in the treatment of viral mediated arthritis due to its beneficial anti-inflammatory activities. The management of chronic viral-associated rheumatic syndromes with DMARDS is challenging and should provide favorable safety and efficacy profiles. The most apparent risk with the use of MTX in chronic viral arthritis is that of decreased immune surveillance in patients, creating a potential risk for viral reactivation in a context of viral persistence. Conflicting results have been reported about the tolerance of MTX in chronic viral mediated arthritis. Until now, the treatment of viral arthritis is still poorly standardized and often empirical. Official guidelines for clinicians are necessary. Further studies are highly warranted to evaluate the efficacy as well as the safety of MTX use in the management of viral-related rheumatic syndromes.</p>

<caption><p>Methotrexate (MTX) transporters, metabolic pathways and intracellular enzyme targets. MTX transport across biological membranes is mediated by the reduced folate carrier (RFC1), the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) (mainly expressed in the proximal part of the small intestine at the apical membrane of enterocytes) with limited contribution of folate receptors (FR). MTX is exported from the cell by the ATP-binding cassette (ABCC)-family transporters. Within the cell, MTX is converted to polyglutamate forms in a reversible reaction mediated by folylpolyglutamate synthetase (FPGS) and γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH). Polyglutamation reduces MTX efflux from the cell via ABCC transporters and therefore increases intracellular half-life of MTX. Intracellular formation of MTX polyglutamate also plays a critical role in MTX activity, increasing inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and several folate dependent enzymes such as thymidylate synthase (TYMS), 5-amino-imidazole-4-carboxide ribonucleotide (AICAR) transformylase (ATIC), and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) decreasing downstream folate pathway intermediates required for nucleotide synthesis.

<caption><p>Immune regulatory action of low dose MTX in the RA synovial tissue. MTX treatment reduces proinflammatory monocytic/macrophagic cytokine (IL1β, IL6, and TNF-α) production, increases Th2 anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL4 and L10) gene expression, and decreases Th1 proinflammatory cytokine (IL2 and IFNγ) gene expression. MTX downregulates IgG Fc receptors FcγRI and IIa expression levels on monocytes decreasing their activation. MTX seems to disrupt synovial fibroblasts and T cells cross-talk signals by inducing inhibition of IL15, IL6, and IL8 expression by synovial fibroblasts, as well as IFNγ and IL17 expression in co-cultured RA T lymphocytes. MTX increases ROS synthesis in T cells, monocytes and neutrophils. MTX reduces T cells and monocytes growth and increases their apoptosis through the generation of ROS. MTX seems to have inhibitory effect on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production as well as on the expression of its synthesizing enzymes microsomal prostaglandin E2 synthase 1 (mPGES-1) and cyclooxygenase (COX) 2. MTX reduces synovial metalloproteinase (MMP) production and stimulates their inhibitors (TIMPs).</p>

<caption><p>MTX affects several signal transduction pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Dysfunctional intracellular signaling involving deregulated activation of the Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK/STAT) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation pathways play a critical role in RA. MTX seems to be a potent suppressor of JAK/STAT signaling pathway which is responsible for the transduction of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines implicated in the pathogenesis of RA. MTX reduces JAK1, JAK2, STAT1, and STAT5 phosphorylation. Low dose MTX strongly suppresses levels of phosphorylated STAT5. Moreover, MTX-mediated ROS production activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), and JNK-dependent induction of p53, which is the final mediator of inhibition of NF-κB activation. NF-κB is involved in inflammation, immune response and cell proliferation and survival. MTX-mediated JNK activation also activates prototypical JNK downstream targets, c-JUN and c-FOS, components of the AP-1 complex which is involved in the increased expression of pro apoptotic genes (such as TNF-α, Fas-L, and Bak) mediating increased sensitivity of cells to apoptosis.</p>

<caption><p>MTX inhibits HMGB-1/RAGE interaction. HMGB1 released by activated immune cells (macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells) or by injured cells acts as an important mediator of inflammation or alarmin. HMGB-1 activates cells through the engagement of multiple surface receptors including TLR2, TLR4, and RAGE. Downstream signaling of HMGB1 is mediated by a number of adaptor proteins, which converge through pathways involving mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) and transcriptional regulator, p53 pathways (Weber et al. 2015). HMGB-1 signaling through RAGE promotes maturation of immune cells, chemotaxis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-8). MTX can bind to the RAGE binding domains of HMGB1 and inhibits the interaction between HMGB1 and its receptor RAGE, thus inhibiting the development of inflammatory responses. Binding of MTX to part of the RAGE-binding region in HMGB1 may be significant for the anti-inflammatory effect of MTX.</p>
