Abstract:

Inflammatory disease state will release a large number of inflammatory cytokines, and accompanied by drug transporters expression and activity changes. Drug transporters are present in various tissues and have an important role in drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. Expression and activity changes will affect the body's plasma concentration, accumulation, the effectiveness of drug treatment, and even produce multidrug resistance, drug-drug interactions and so on. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common inflammatory disease that releases a large number of inflammatory cytokines, with changes in expression and activity of the transporters, which affects the therapeutic effect and changes the expression and activity of the drug transporters. This review summarizes the knowledge on the roles of transporters in rheumatoid arthritis in order to provide a new direction for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Key words: rheumatoid arthritis, SLC transporters, ABC transporters
