CCP: cyclic citrullinated peptide, CRP: C-reactive protein, RF: rheumatic factor, DAS28-CRP: disease activity score 28, ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, PBMC: peripheral blood mononuclear cells, RF: rheumatic factor, VAS: visual analog scale.

Numerical variables are reported as mean ± SD and categorical variables are reported as percentage (count).

Cohort HC: healthy controls.

Cohort A: treatment naïve, initiating Methotrexate.

Cohort B: methotrexate non-responders, initiating TNFi.

Cohort C: TNFi non-responders, initiating second biological (Supplementary Figure S2).
