Although the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear, an increasing number of studies have confirmed that pyroptosis of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLS) is an important factor affecting the progression of RA. Periplogenin (PPN) is a natural cardiac glycoside; reportedly, it exerts anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in diseases by inhibiting cell growth and migration. This study aimed to determine the effect of PPN on the growth, migration, and invasion of RA-FLS and the potential mechanism of pyroptosis regulation. We discovered that PPN could inhibit the migration and invasion abilities of RA-FLS and block their growth cycle, down-regulate the secretion and activation of NLRP3, Caspase-1, GSDMD, IL-1β, and IL-18, and reduce the number of pyroptosis. In summary, PPN inhibited pyroptosis, reduced the release of inflammatory factors, and improved RA-FLS inflammation by regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.
