14-3-3η Auto-Antibody Positivity Informs Better Clinical Outcomes in RA
Background/Purpose We have previously reported pilot data that patients who are only positive for 14-3-3η auto-antibodies (AAb) and negative for the 14-3-3η protein have a…Abstract Number: 1248 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serologic and Clinical Overlap Between Sarcoidosis and the Rheumatic Autoimmume Diseases
Background/Purpose Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, characterized pathologically by noncaseating epithelioid cell granulomas, primarily affecting the lungs, the eye, the skin,…Abstract Number: 370 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Double Positivity of RA Serologies More Prevalent Yet Associated with Clinical Response in Ethnic Minority Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Double Positivity of RA Serologies More Prevalent But Associated with Clinical Response in a Diverse Ethnic Cohort with Rheumatoid ArthritisBackground/Purpose: The presence of both the…Abstract Number: 1140 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Polymorphisms on OPG, RANK and RANKL with ACPA Presence and Erosions: Results of a Meta-Analysis on 1570 Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients from 3 French Cohorts
Background/Purpose Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial complex disease characterized by the presence of anti-citrullinated peptides antibodies (ACPA) and joints erosions. The mechanisms of bone…Abstract Number: 362 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
14-3-3η Early RA Biomarkers: Does Seronegative RA Exist?
Background/Purpose RF and ACPA are used for early diagnosis and in prediction models for the risk of RA development in arthralgia patients. There remains a…Abstract Number: 1054 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Factor, Not ACPA, Is Associated with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose To investigate the associations of rheumatoid factor (RF) and autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity.Methods We analyzed the association…Abstract Number: 361 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Citrullinated 14-3-3η Antibodies Are Specific for Early and Established RA and Are Complementary to ACPA
Background/Purpose Citrullination is a post-translational modification whereby arginine (Arg) is deiminated by PAD enzymes to form citrulline (Cit). In RA, current ACPA assays measure the…Abstract Number: 993 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Proteins Antibodies Promote Synovial Fibroblast Migration in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose The presence of anti-citrullinated proteins antibodies (ACPAs) in RA is associated with aggressive disease phenotype and bone destruction. As synovial fibroblasts (SFs) are considered…Abstract Number: 360 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
88% of Recent Onset Polyarthritis Patients Are Positive for 14-3-3η Markers and 14-3-3η Auto-Antibodies Inform a Favourable Prognosis
Background/Purpose The 14-3-3η protein has been described as a mechanistic marker that is detectable in serum during the very early stages of RA development. A…Abstract Number: 840 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vascular Calcifications on Hand and Wrist Radiographs Are Associated with Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Antigen-Specific Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies, and Mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with increased mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Select antigen-specific anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) are associated with atherosclerotic…Abstract Number: 348 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Smoking Status Is Associated with Inflammatory Cytokine Profile and Disease Activity: Decreased Inflammation and Disease Improvement with Smoking Cessation?
Background/Purpose: Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for RA and has been associated with increased disease severity and lower rates of disease remission. We examined…
