ACPA Activate Challenged Synovial Fibroblasts through a PAD Dependent Mechanism: A Potential Explanation of the “Second Hit Model” in RA
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated proteins antibodies (ACPAs) injected in mice induce IL-8 dependent bone loss and arthralgia, but no synovial changes. We hypothesized that additional stimulus, sensitizing…Abstract Number: 990 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Higher Omega-6 to Omega-3 Fatty Acid Ratio Is Associated with Increased Odds of Inflammatory Arthritis in a Health Fair Population Positive for Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies (ACPA)
Background/Purpose: We previously found that lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) were associated with the presence of inflammatory arthritis (IA) as well as…Abstract Number: 583 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Associations of Serum Anti-Citrullinated Proteins and Cytokines with Radiographic Scores in African-American Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Serum anti-citrullinated proteins (ACPA, including anti-CCP antibodies) and rheumatoid factor (RF) are critical diagnostic markers for RA, and are associated with more severe radiographic…Abstract Number: 2612 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sero-Positivity for Rheumatoid Factor Is an Independent Predictor for Achievement of Good EULAR Response at 24 Weeks in ACPA Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated with Abatacept: Results from Japanese Multicenter Registry
Background/Purpose: Abatacept is a new class of biologic agent for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that inhibits T cell activation by binding to CD80/86.…Abstract Number: 584 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Glycoprotein VI: A Potential Target for ACPA-Mediated Platelet Activation?
Background/Purpose: Arterial thrombosis is a major cause of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA),especially in anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-positive patients Recent studies suggest that platelet activation…Abstract Number: 2613 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Seropositivity for RF or ACPA Predicts Long Term Drug Retention with Rituximab, but Not with Abatacept and Tocilizumab : Long-Term Registry Data in 4498 Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Seropositivity for RF or ACPA is associated with a better short-term effectiveness and drug retention of abatacept (ABA) and rituximab (RTX). Data are very…Abstract Number: 585 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Disease Associated Anti-Citrullinated Protein Memory B Cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis Persist in DAS Remission
Background/Purpose: B cells are central drivers of seropositive RA, and B cells that express anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) may arise from past and/or ongoing breaches…Abstract Number: 586 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Between ACPA Fine Specificity and High Resolution Computed Tomography Lung Changes in Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Airways abnormalities that are consistent with inflammation are common in anti-CCP2 positive subjects without inflammatory arthritis. Anti-CCP2 antibodies are associated with high-resolution computed tomography…Abstract Number: 587 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synovial Immunophenotype and Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients: Relationship to Treatment Response and Radiological Prognosis
Background/Purpose: Circulating anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) have been proposed as an important clinical test for stratification of patients presenting with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACPA may…Abstract Number: 590 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Microvesicles in the Lungs of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Structural changes, increased tissue citrullination and signs of local inflammation are present in the pulmonary compartment of early seropositive RA and seropositive individuals at…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: 6 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lower Omega-3 Fatty Acid Biomarkers Are Associated with Inflammatory Arthritis in a Population Positive for Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies
Background/Purpose: Antibodies to citrullinated protein antigens (ACPA) can be elevated prior to onset of inflammatory arthritis (IA) and RA. However, understanding of factors related to…Abstract Number: 1108 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Protein Citrullinations By PAD Enzymes Promote Dendritic Cell Transdifferentiation into Osteoclast and Generate Targets for RA-Specific Antibodies
Background/Purpose: Immature dendritic cells (DCs) can develop into osteoclasts (OCs), however, the mechanisms regulating this differentiation switch are not yet understood. We have shown that…Abstract Number: 130 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Status Determines the Power Doppler Oscillation Pattern in Rheumatoid Arthritis – a Prospective Study
Title: Anti-CCP Status Determines the Power Doppler Oscillation Pattern in Rheumatoid Arthritis – a Prospective Study Abstract: Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory…
