Effect of Anti-Rheumatic Treatment on Selenium Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose: The cause of the increased cardiovascular risk in inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) is still unclear. Intriguingly, selenium-deficiency, which might be caused by poor diet or…Abstract Number: 2697 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Modulator Role of Inducible Costimulator (ICOS) in Spondyloarthritis Animal Model
Background/Purpose: HLA-B27/hβ2m transgenic rats (B27 rats), a model of spondylarthritis (SpA) develop spontaneous colitis and arthritis. Recently, in vitro studies demonstrated that altered dendritic cells…Abstract Number: 2698 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Regulation of Inflammation By Interleukin-27 in a Rat Model of Spondyloarthritis (SpA)
Background/Purpose: SpA is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disorder with osteo-articular and extra-articular manifestations. HLA-B27/human β2-microglobulin transgenic rats (B27 rat) spontaneously develop a phenotype closely resembling…Abstract Number: 981 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-IL-17A Treatment Blocks Inflammation, Destruction and New Bone Formation in Experimental Spondyloarthritis in HLA-B27 Transgenic Rats
Background/Purpose: The IL-17 axis has been identified as a crucial pathophysiological pathway in spondyloarthritis (SpA). Targeting the IL-17 axis significantly suppressed inflammation and halted bone…Abstract Number: 620 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Innate Immune Stimulation Triggers Altered IL-1a/b Gene Expression and Experimental Spondyloarthritis in HLA-B27/huβ2m Transgenic Rats
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) does not display typical features of autoimmune diseases such as female predominance, presence of autoantibodies, or clinical response to T- and/or B…
