Mechanistically, gut microbiota dysregulation drives RA through molecular mimicry, metabolite-mediated inflammation, and immune cell migration. Therapeutic strategies targeting the gut-joint axis, including probiotics, high-fiber diets, Mediterranean dietary patterns, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), demonstrate promise in restoring microbial homeostasis, enhancing intestinal barrier integrity, and suppressing proinflammatory cytokines.
