Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of immunomodulator ribonucleic acid Ⅱ on anastrozole-related joint symptoms. Methods A total of 156 postmenopausal women patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ breast cancer and anastrozole-related joint symptoms were enrolled. These patients were divided into two groups: One group were treated by ribonucleic acid Ⅱ(200 mg, intravenous infusion, 1 time a day)as the experimental group, the other was treated by saline as the control group. The degree of symptom change was evaluated by FACT-G and WOMAC. The levels of serum cytokines(IFN-γ and IL-4), the bone gla protein(BGP), bone alkaline phosphatase(BALP) and I collagen carboxyl-terminal propeptide(CICP) of bone metabolism were detected by ELISA method. Results In comparison with the control group, ribonucleic acid Ⅱ significantly reduced the severity of musculoskeletal symptoms and pain, and also improved the quality of life(P<0.05). In ribonucleic acid Ⅱ group, the blood level of IL-4 was increased, whereas IFN-γ was decreased(P<0.05). as well as, the indexes of bone metabolism BALP and CICP were significantly lower than those in the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Ribonucleic acid Ⅱ could improve aromatase inhibitor related musculoskeletal symptoms by the role of immunity adjustment.
