The Utility of the sFlt1:PlGF Ratio to Rule out and Predict Preeclampsia in Women with Lupus
Background/Purpose: Women with SLE have high rates of preeclampsia caused by poor placental vascularization. The FDA recently approved the ratio of two angiogenic factors, soluble…Abstract Number: 0880 • ACR Convergence 2024
Investigating the SRPK-1-VEGF-A Alternative Splicing Pathway AsaTherapeutic Target in Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Alternative pre-mRNA splicing of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-A (VEGF-A) produces pro-angiogenic (VEGF-Axxxa) or anti-angiogenic (VEGF-Axxxb) isoforms that contribute to angiogenesis in inflammatory arthritis. Isoform…Abstract Number: 1745 • ACR Convergence 2023
Chronic Inflammation and Collagen IV Fragment Canstatin Influence Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblast and Endothelial Cell Interactions in Vitro and in Vivo
Background/Purpose: In the inflamed synovium of RA patients, increased and altered angiogenesis is a pathological feature. Key players are chronically activated RA synovial fibroblasts (RASF),…Abstract Number: 2153 • ACR Convergence 2023
Effects of One-year Tofacitinib Therapy on Angiogenic Biomarkers in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity, mortality and perpetuated synovial angiogenesis have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In our study we evaluated angiogenic factors in relation…Abstract Number: 0042 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Pathogenic Role of Lymphatic Vessels in Autoimmune Valvular Carditis
Background/Purpose: Valvular carditis is a serious complication of systemic autoimmune diseases. Although endothelial cells are thought to play an important role in autoimmune valvular carditis,…Abstract Number: 0620 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neovascularization Is Altered by Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts and Canstatin in Vitro and in Vivo
Background/Purpose: In the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), neovascularization is increased in the activated and inflamed synovium. RA synovial fibroblasts (RASF) are key players in…Abstract Number: 1230 • ACR Convergence 2022
Diabetes Mellitus Nailfold Capillaroscopy Pattern: DM Pattern
Background/Purpose: Recent data has shown the presence of nailfold architecture abnormalities in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the changes has been associated with uncontrolled disease.…Abstract Number: 0459 • ACR Convergence 2021
CCN1: An Angiogenic Actor Implicated in the Structural Damages of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: We have previously shown that decreased expression of the deacetylase sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) contributes to the proliferative, activated and proangiogenic profile of endothelial cells (EC)…Abstract Number: 0512 • ACR Convergence 2021
Peficitinib and Filgotinib Inhibit Angiogenesis via Suppression of VEGF Production in Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes
Background/Purpose: Peficitinib and filgotinib are novel Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Peficitinib inhibits all JAKs, especially JAK3. Filgotinib,…Abstract Number: 0545 • ACR Convergence 2021
SIRT1 Modulates the Senescent Phenotype in Scleroderma Endothelial Cells
Background/Purpose: Vascular abnormalities in systemic sclerosis (SSc) are characterized by injury to vascular wall and extensive damage of the microvessels. It has been shown that…
