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…Abstract Number: 1116 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies Promote Synovial Fibroblasts Migration and Adhesion through a Peptidylarginine Deiminases (PAD) Dependent Pathway
Background/Purpose: Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) contribute to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis by growing into the synovial space and by producing pro-angiogenic and tissue remodelling factors, chemokines…Abstract Number: 470 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Crucial Involvement of Citrullinated Proteins and ACPA in the Development of Peptide-Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Various citrullinated proteins and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are increased in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACPA have high specificity for RA, and are…Abstract Number: 1273 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Protein Antibodies and Rheumatoid Factor on Bone Erosions in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Using HR-pQCT: A Cross-Sectional Study
Background/Purpose: Concomitant presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) is associated with higher erosive disease burden in patients with established rheumatoid…Abstract Number: 505 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Longitudinal Stability of the RA Biomarkers RF and ACPA in Classifying RA Subtypes over Extended Follow up
Background/Purpose: In recent years several studies suggest that first order stratification of RA should be based on the presence or absence of rheumatoid factor (RF)…Abstract Number: 1549 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodontal Disease: Salivary ACPA Levels and Clinical Presentation
Background/Purpose: We evaluated the periodontal involvement of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and we correlated with various laboratory biomarkers including lipids, autoantibodies, serum vitamin D levels,…Abstract Number: 568 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells (TREM) As a Novel Indicator of Disease Progression in ‘at-Risk’ Individuals
Background/Purpose: Whilst the exact aetiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear, current concepts suggest an environmental link with possible microbial triggers. Studying individuals at-risk of…
