Early In Vivo Induction of Mouse Interferon-alpha1 Overexpression Triggers an Expansion of Highly Suppressive Regulatory T Lymphocytes Protecting Against Experimental Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Type I interferons (IFN-I) can be both anti- and pro-inflammatory. Among them, IFN-α inhibits normal Th17 differentiation, whereas it is pathogenic in lupus. The…Abstract Number: 1033 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeting Notch-Activated M1 Macrophages Attenuates Joint Tissue Damage in a Mouse Model of Inflammatory Arthritis

Microrna-146a Controls Local Bone Destruction By Regulating Fibroblast Induced Osteoclastogenesis in Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: MicroRNA (MiR-) 146a plays an important role in the regulation of the innate immune response and has also been shown to suppress cancer development…Abstract Number: 1035 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Prognostic Value of Different Auto-Antibodies for Arthritis Development in Patients with Clinically Suspect Arthralgia
Background/Purpose: Previous longitudinal studies in arthralgia patients studied Rheumatoid Factor (IgM-RF) and Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies (ACPA) in relation to arthritis development. Participants in these studies…Abstract Number: 1036 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dominant B-Cell Receptor Clones in Peripheral Blood Predict Onset of Arthritis in Individuals at Risk for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The onset of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is preceded by the presence of specific autoantibodies in the absence of synovial inflammation. Only a subset…Abstract Number: 1037 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evaluation of 14-3-3η As a Tool for Diagnosis of Early RA in a European Cohort
Background/Purpose: Early diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) coupled with an effective treatment strategy is a key imperative in the effective management of disease. Anti-citrullinated peptide…Abstract Number: 1038 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Disability in Patients Presenting with Clinically Suspect Arthralgia and Progression to Clinical Arthritis
Background/Purpose: A phase of arthralgia precedes the emergence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is unknown if patients have functional limitations in this phase. We assessed…Abstract Number: 1039 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Estimation of the Risk of Developing Rheumatoid Arthritis in High-Risk Subjects : Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background/Purpose: Identifying individuals at risk for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) development is a prerequisite to understand preclinical events and to develop prevention. Based on a systematic…Abstract Number: 1040 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Stressful Life Events : A Trigger for Rheumatoid Arthritis Onset within a Year. a Case-Control Study
Background/Purpose: To assess the association between recent stressful life events and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) onset. Methods: We conducted a monocentric case-control study of in and…Abstract Number: 1041 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Abatacept in the Treatment of Active Psoriatic Arthritis: 24-Week Results from a Phase III Study
Background/Purpose: Abatacept (ABA), a selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator, showed promise for the treatment of PsA in a Phase II trial.1 This prompted the conduct of…Abstract Number: 1042 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
