Peptidylarginine deiminases and the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. A reflection of the involvement of transglutaminase in coeliac disease
2009, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :Compelling evidence has identified smoking as a risk factor to develop RA. An Australian study [55] found smoking to be associated with an increased prevalence of autoantibodies, in particular ANA. Several later studies have amply confirmed this early report [20,56].

2002, American Journal of MedicineCitation Excerpt :That study, which had fewer cases of definite rheumatoid arthritis and fewer cases validated by a rheumatologist, also focused on younger women. Although the explanation for the association between exposure to cigarette smoke and the risk of rheumatoid arthritis is not known, smoking has many effects on the immune system (48–52). Epidemiologic data suggest that smoking may have an antiestrogenic effect, reflected by a reduced incidence of endometrial cancer and an increase in fractures among those who smoke (53–55).
Cigarette smoking and rheumatoid arthritis
2001, Seminars in Arthritis and RheumatismCitation Excerpt :For many years, cigarette smoking has been implicated as playing a casual role in lung cancer and cardiovascular disease, but only recently has smoking been studied as a potential pathogenetic agent in RA (3). Cigarette smoking may have direct biological effects on RA by increasing serum rheumatoid factor (RF) (25,66,67) and altering immune function in the lungs and systemically (68,69). Smoking has been observed to increase the total white blood cell count, and heavy smokers show abnormalities in circulating lymphocytes (70-73).
