Protective Role for Mast Cells in TNF-induced Inflammatory-Erosive Arthritis and Its Associated Lymphatic Dysfunction in Mice
Background/Purpose: Inflammatory-erosive arthritis is exacerbated by lymphatic dysfunction (1). Mast cells (MCs) regulate lymphatic vessels by releasing inflammatory and vasoactive mediators (e.g. histamine) (2). Previous…Abstract Number: 1704 • ACR Convergence 2022
Interaction of Macrophages and Natural Killer Cells in Pathogenesis of HIV-1-Associated Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a significant life-threatening agent and burden on public health. Lesser studied and understood aspects of HIV infections include HIV-associated…Abstract Number: 2264 • ACR Convergence 2022
Dysregulated Interferon Gamma Signals Promote Systemic Autoimmunity in STAT1 Gain of Function Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Heterozygous gain-of-function mutations in STAT1 promote a complex disorder of immune dysregulation including chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) and systemic autoimmunity. However, given widespread expression…Abstract Number: 1020 • ACR Convergence 2021
Enhancing Endothelial Cell Barrier Function via Sphingosine -1 Phosphate Receptor 1 (S1PR1) – a Novel Treatment for Experimental Arthritis
Background/Purpose: S1PR1 signaling plays critical roles in EC barrier function and vascular health, but until now, research on S1PR1 modulation in autoimmune rheumatic disease has…Abstract Number: 1021 • ACR Convergence 2021
Organic Dust Exposure Induces Post-translational Protein Modifications and a HLA-DR4-dependent Pro-inflammatory Lung Phenotype in a Murine Model of Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Environmental and occupational exposures have been epidemiologically linked to the development of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Previous investigation and modeling have also…Abstract Number: 1432 • ACR Convergence 2021
Modulation of Auto-Inflammation with a Novel Selective Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) Inhibitor in a Trex1-/- Model
Background/Purpose: The detection of viral nucleic acids (NA) elicits a transient type I interferon (IFN) response central to antiviral immunity. Chronic type I IFN responses…Abstract Number: 1468 • ACR Convergence 2021
Intra-articular (IA) Injection of Empty Large Multilamellar Vesicles Liposomes Reduces Cartilage Degeneration in Rat Osteoarthritis Model
Background/Purpose: A suspension of empty large multilamellar vesicles (MLV) liposomes composed of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is currently under clinical development for symptomatic knee…Abstract Number: 1471 • ACR Convergence 2021
Oral Administration of Berberine Limits Post-traumatic Osteoarthritis Development and Associated Pain via AMP-activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) in Mice
Background/Purpose: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of energy balance and metabolism, is implicated to play an important role in cartilage homeostasis. Berberine is…Abstract Number: 1507 • ACR Convergence 2021
Role of CD4+ T Cells in the Pathogenesis of RA: Immunization with Citrullinated T Cell Epitopes Is Sufficient to Induce Immunological and Clinical Manifestations of Arthritis in DR4-Transgenic Mice
Background/Purpose: Although the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unclear, existing research suggests a complex interplay of both genetic and environmental factors. Citrullinated proteins/peptides, and…Abstract Number: 1767 • ACR Convergence 2021
CXCL5 Dampens Inflammation in Murine Lupus by Orchestral Suppression of Effector Cell Proliferation and Leukocyte Extravasation
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a potentially fatal autoimmune disease characterized by dysregulation of both innate and adaptive immunity. Current therapeutic options are limited,…Abstract Number: 1890 • ACR Convergence 2021
Cellular Origin and Functions of Osteoclasts in Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Inflammatory arthritis (IA) is an autoimmune disease targeting multiple joints and characterized by joint destruction caused by osteoclasts (OC), leading to physical disability. However,…Abstract Number: 0028 • ACR Convergence 2021
Evolution of Anti-modified Protein Antibody Responses Can Be Driven by Consecutive Exposure to Different Post-translational Modifications
Background/Purpose: Besides anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA), rheumatoid arthritis patients (RA) often display autoantibody reactivities against other post-translationally modified (PTM) proteins, more specifically carbamylated and acetylated…
