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: 479 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
How to Recruit Anti-CCP Positive Patients from Primary Care
Background/Purpose: Around 1% of the population test positive for anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. This biomarker predicts progression to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but over a…Abstract Number: 1641 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
B Cell Depletion with Rituximab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Multiplex Bead Array Reveals Kinetics of IgG and IgA Autoantibodies to Citrullinated Antigens
Background/Purpose: Seropositivity for rheumatoid factors and anti-citrullinated (Cit) protein antibodies (ACPA) are the strongest predictor for clinical response to rituximab (RTX) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).…Abstract Number: 499 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Efficacy of Tocilizumab Monotherapy in Patients with RA Is Not Influenced By ACPA Positivity
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) need a more aggressive therapy (1). Tocilizumab (TCZ) seems to be the biologic with best…Abstract Number: 2020 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Elevated BMI and ACPA Together Increase RA Risk and Independently Accelerate Time to RA
Background/Purpose: Obesity and anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) are risk factors for RA. We investigated whether body mass index (BMI) and ACPA interact in determining RA…Abstract Number: 515 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Are Changes in Autoantibody Levels Reflecting Change in Prognosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Background/Purpose: The presence of rheumatoid factor (RF) and antibodies against citrullinated peptides (ACPA) is associated with progression of joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis…Abstract Number: 2565 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
ACPA Specific IVIG Attenuate Collagen Induced Arthritis in Mice
Background/Purpose: Administration of intravenous-immunoglobulin (IVIg) is a recognized safe and efficient immunomodulatore therapy for many autoimmune diseases. Anti-idiotypic antibody binding to pathogenic autoantibodies was proposed…Abstract Number: 520 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibody to Porphyromonas Gingivalis in Pre-Clinical Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis (PD) has been implicated as an etiologic risk factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an association that is speculated to be related to the…Abstract Number: 2570 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparative Analysis of Collagen-Antibody Induced Arthritis and the Arthritis Inhibitory Potential of Specific ACPA in Two Mouse Subspecies Genetically Separated about One Million Years Ago
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is believed to be induced by environmental, genetic and immunological factors. Monoclonal Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide autoantibodies (ACPA) target different citrullinated proteins years…Abstract Number: 524 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Concentrations of Antibodies to Porphyromonas Gingivalis Are Increased before Onset of Symptom of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Chronic periodontitis has been considered as an important determinant in both occurrence and severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It has been hypothesized that citrullination…Abstract Number: 2584 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prediction of Disease Relapses By Multi-Biomarker Disease Test Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Tapering DMARD Treatment
Background/Purpose: To analyze the role of multi-biomarker disease activity (MBDA) in predicting disease relapses in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in sustained remission, tapering disease modifying…Abstract Number: 528 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
RA33 Challenges the Paradigm of Autoantigen Selection in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) are the autoimmune hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and can precede the onset of symptomatic disease by years. By…Abstract Number: 2590 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody and Radiographic Disease Progression in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) positivity is associated with more rapid radiographic progression in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A majority of prior studies, however, have assessed…Abstract Number: 586 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Titer of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Affects the Efficacy of First Biological Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) has been an important marker in diagnosing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Its predictive value remains unclear; therefore, here we investigated whether…Abstract Number: 2595 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autoantibodies to Citrullinated Fibrinogen, Anti-CCP2 and Anti-MCV Antibodies in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Rapid Radiographic Progression at 1-Year
Background/Purpose: We compared the ability of anti-CCP2, anti-mutated citrullinated vimentin (anti-MCV) and anti-citrullinated fibrinogen (AhFibA) antibodies to predict 1-year rapid radiographic progression (RRP; total Sharp…
