The KEGG pathway enrichment analysis identified the forkhead box O (FoxO) signal pathway, apoptosis, cytokine–cytokine receptor interaction, cell cycle, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), p53 signaling pathway, and phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathway were involved in the pathogenesis of early treatment-naïve RA. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and rheumatoid arthritis.
