Adipocytokines in an Osteoarthritis Mouse Model
Background/Purpose: In the Western society adiposity and metabolic syndrome are an increasing field of medical research. Both entities influence the expression of adipokines such as…Abstract Number: 1803 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Level Is Elevated in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) but Not Associated with Biophysical Markers of Cardiovascular Disease
Background/Purpose: Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (aFABP) is an intracellular lipid-binding protein expressed in adipocytes and macrophages, particularly in inflammatory conditions. Recently, high circulating serum aFABP…Abstract Number: 332 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adipokine SERUM Levels in Patients with EARLY Knee Osteoarthritis with and without Metabolic Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multifactorial disease. The metabolic syndrome (MS) has been linked to this disease; adipokines levels have been associated in the…Abstract Number: 9 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Visfatin Levels in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthitis and Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Relation to Inflammation and Bone Changes
Background/Purpose: Visfatin may represent a novel biomarker of disease severity. Serum visfatin levels are elevated in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) and axial spondyloarthritis…Abstract Number: 2933 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Metabolic Syndrome, Adipocytokines and Inflammation in Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose Systemic inflammation has been linked to increased frequency of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in autoimmune diseases. However, there are no studies concerning the frequency of…Abstract Number: 532 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adipose Tissue Is Prominent in Salivary Glands of Sjögren’s Syndrome Patients and Appears to Influence the Autoimmune Microenvironment in These Organs
Background/Purpose A positive salivary gland (SG) biopsy with a focus score of ≥1 is the only widely accepted pathological finding confirming the salivary gland component…Abstract Number: 435 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Smoking Functions As a Negative Regulator of IGF-1 Levels and Adipokine Network in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose Smoking is an important player in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) being tightly connected to the genetic (carriage of HLA-DRB1 shared epitope) and…Abstract Number: 2474 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fat Mass and Resistin: Predictive Factors For Anti-TNF Therapy Response In Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients
Background/Purpose: The adipose tissue immune properties and pharmacokinetic consequences can contribute to the pathogenesis of inflammatory conditions. The hole of fat tissue in active Ankylosing…Abstract Number: 1397 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changes In MMP In Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes Following Adipogenesis
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast-like synovial cells (FLS) play important roles in the disease progression of RA. FLS produce cytokines and chemokines that contribute to chronic inflammation…Abstract Number: 727 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adiponectin Promotes The Differentiation Of naïve T Cell To Th17 Cell and Aggravates Collagen-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To investigate a role of Adiponectin (AD) on the differentiation of naïve T cell to Th17 cell and bone erosion in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA)…Abstract Number: 599 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between Serum Leptin and Adiponectin Levels With The Severity Of Proteinuria In Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: To identify the association between serum leptin and adiponectin levels and proteinuria secondary to lupus nephritis in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods:…Abstract Number: 297 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Correlates With Markers Of Inflammation and May Predict Early Therapeutic Response To Low-Dose Methotrexate In Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Despite a poor understanding of its biochemical role in the inflammatory process, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) has been implicated in a number of autoimmune…Abstract Number: 44 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Suppressor Of Cytokine Signaling 3 Negatively Modulates Leptin-Mediated Catabolic and Proinflammatory Effects In Cartilage – New Potential Mechanism To Target Obesity-Induced Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Adipocytokine leptin has been suggested to link obesity and osteoarthritis (OA). Initially leptin was found to regulate energy metabolism through central nervous system. More…Abstract Number: 2520 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3 Is Reduced in Obese Patients with Osteoarthritis and Regulates Leptin Responses in Chondrocytes
Background/Purpose: Leptin is an adipokine whose concentrations in circulation are proportional to body fat stores and body mass index (BMI). Initially leptin was discovered to…Abstract Number: 43 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Amyloid A Level in Knee Osteoarthritis: Systemic and/or Local Production and Pro-Inflammatory Properties On Human Chondrocytes and Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a disease frequently seen in obese patients, but the relationship might be more linked to fat than to weight. A-SAA…
