Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis is an untreatable autoimmune disorder. The disease is accompanied
by joint impairment and anomalies, which negatively affect the patient’s quality of life and
contribute to a decline in manpower. To diagnose and treat rheumatoid arthritis, it is crucial to understand
the abnormal signaling pathways that contribute to the disease. This understanding will
help develop new rheumatoid arthritis-related intervention targets. Over the last few decades, researchers
have given more attention to rheumatoid arthritis. The current review seeks to provide a
detailed summary of rheumatoid arthritis, highlighting the basic description of the disease, past occurrences,
the study of epidemiology, risk elements, and the process of disease progression, as
well as the key scientific development of the disease condition and multiple signaling pathways
and enumerating the most current advancements in discovering new rheumatoid arthritis signaling
pathways and rheumatoid arthritis inhibitors. This review emphasizes the anti-rheumatoid effects
of these inhibitors [for the Wnt/β-catenin, Phosphoinositide 3-Kinases (PI3K/AKT), Spleen Tyrosine
Kinase (SYK), and Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) signaling
pathways], illustrating their mechanism of action through a literature search, current therapies,
and novel drugs under pre-clinical and clinical trials.
