Citrullinated Serum Albumin Is Not an Autoantigen in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) are diagnostic of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease primarily affecting synovial joints. Proteomic analyses have identified human serum…Abstract Number: 0058 • ACR Convergence 2025
Training for increased inflammatory arthritis in mice is not modulated by type 1 interferon
Background/Purpose: Disease flares, or episodic escalating inflammation, is a hallmark of autoimmune diseases, like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). They are particularly hard to predict and treat…Abstract Number: 0124 • ACR Convergence 2025
Single-cell atlas reveals the central-and-peripheral immune remodeling mechanism and clinical benefits of talitacicept therapy in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome
Background/Purpose: To elucidate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying Talitacicept therapy in primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) patients using integrated single-cell RNA and TCR/BCR profiling of…Abstract Number: 0130 • ACR Convergence 2025
Plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 increases thrombotic risk in Antiphospholipid syndrome
Background/Purpose: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is a common cause for acquired thrombophilia. The group termed ‘seronegative’ APS has not made any headway in the revised…Abstract Number: 0015 • ACR Convergence 2025
CDR111 is a novel CD19 and BCMA dual-targeting T cell engager (TCE) for the treatment of severe and refractory autoimmune diseases
Background/Purpose: B cells and plasma cells are central to the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases. While B cell depletion therapies (BCDTs), such as anti-CD20 monoclonal…Abstract Number: 0092 • ACR Convergence 2025
SynovAI: A Revolutionary AI Framework for Enhanced Detection and Differentiation of Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Spondyloarthritis via Advanced Ultrasound Imaging
Background/Purpose: Rheumatology musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) is a powerful technique to identify and differentiate arthritidies joint pathology, yet MSKUS is highly dependent on user experience. Techniques…Abstract Number: 0090 • ACR Convergence 2025
Interleukin-36β modulates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis by altering the behavior of rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF) play a central role in driving inflammation and promoting cartilage degradation in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In our study, we…Abstract Number: 0106 • ACR Convergence 2025
Investigation of DNA Methylation Inhibition in a Mouse Model of Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by enthesitis in axial joints, bone erosion near the entheses, and subsequent irreversible ankylosis due…Abstract Number: 0112 • ACR Convergence 2025
Proteome-wide Mendelian Randomization Identifies Therapeutic Targets in Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: While numerous proteins have been linked to psoriatic arthritis (PsA), the causal nature of these associations remains unconfirmed. This study aims to employ a…Abstract Number: 0088 • ACR Convergence 2025
Imbalance of Inflammation-Regulating Microorganisms and Predicted Metabolomic Pathways Associates With Disease Evolution in Individuals At-Risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The mucosal origins hypothesis of RA proposes that immune responses to microorganisms at mucosal sites (e.g. intestine) lead to systemic inflammation and autoimmunity. Little…Abstract Number: 0091 • ACR Convergence 2025
Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential (CHIP) in Rheumatoid Arthritis: associations with treatment response and comorbidities
Background/Purpose: Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is defined as the detection of recurrent somatic mutations, at a variant allele frequency (VAF) <
