Masp-1/3 Deficient MRL/Lpr Mice Lack The Alternative Complement Pathway Activation and Are Protected From Development Of Lupus-Like Glomerulonephritis
Background/Purpose: Complement has both protective and pathogenic functions in lupus due to a balance between its role in the clearance of immune complexes (ICs) and…Abstract Number: 1848 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Human Gingiva-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Inhibit Graft-Versus-Host Disease Through CD39 and IDO
Background/Purpose: We recently have reported that human-derived gingival mesenchymal stem cells (GMSC) have strong capacity to suppress immune responses and T cell-mediated collagen-induced arthritis, however,…Abstract Number: 1156 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Suppression Of Immune Responses and Joint Inflammation By Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells In a T Cell-Dependent Mouse Model Of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of innate immune cells with immunosuppressive properties. We previously identified MDSCs in the synovial fluid (SF)…Abstract Number: 2311 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Total Glucosides of Paeony Th1 and Th17 Cell Differentiation by Blocking STAT1 and STAT3 Activation in Vivo
Background/Purpose: Th1 and Th17 cells play very importent role in the lesions of human rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Total glucoside of paeony (TGP), an active compound extracted from…Abstract Number: 1637 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Peptide Inhibiting the Binding Between C1q and Immunoglobulin Ameliorates Joint Destruction in Rats with Collagen-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: C1q is the major subcomponent of the first component of complement protein. The activation of the complement is triggered by binding of C1q to…Abstract Number: 1074 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
TLR2 Deletion Promotes Arthritis and Joint Destruction Through Reduction of IL-10
Background/Purpose: TLR2 signaling pathway has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target in RA. However, studies with mice deficient in TLR2 (TLR2-/-) and IL-1Ra suggest…Abstract Number: 343 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Impairment in an Animal Model for Rheumatoid Arthritis Assessed As Changes in Gait Is Due to Joint Destruction but Not Synovial Inflammation Per Se
Background/Purpose: To investigate the individual impact of synovial inflammation, subchondral bone erosion or cartilage damage on functional impairment in an animal model of Rheumatoid Arthritis…Abstract Number: 2313 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Autoantibody-Inducing CD4 T Cell (aiCD4 T cell) Belongs to CCR4+CD45RBlo122lo CD4 Subpopulation: A Novel ‘Self-Organized Criticality Theory’ Explains the Cause of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Background/Purpose: We found that systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was induced experimentally by repeatedly immunizing the mice normally not prone to autoimmune diseases by any exogenous…Abstract Number: 1638 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synovial Fibroblast Migration Is Modulated by the Focal Contact Protein Lasp-1
Background/Purpose: RA synovial fibroblasts (SF) have been suggested to contribute to the spreading of disease through their ability to leave cartilage destruction sites, migrate via…Abstract Number: 1022 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Imaging of Ankle Joints by MRI in Murine Models of Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose: One of the fundamental shortcomings in the field of experimental rheumatology is the inability to non-invasively monitor the development of inflammatory arthritis longitudinally. Magnetic…Abstract Number: 347 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Loss of S100A4 Prevents Induction of Experimental Arthritis in Human Tumour Necrosis Factor Transgenic Mouse Model
Background/Purpose: Our previous study demonstrated increased levels of S100A4 protein in sera, synovial fluid and synovial membrane of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to…Abstract Number: 2323 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Genetic Polymorphism on New Zealand Black Chromosome 1 Is Associated with Abnormal Dendritic Cell Function Leading to Expansion of TH1, TH17 and T Follicular Helper (TFH) Cells
Background/Purpose: We have previously shown that B6 mice with an introgressed homozygous New Zealand Black chromosome (c) 1 interval (70 to 100 cM) develop high titres…Abstract Number: 1639 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
FLIP in Macrophages Promotes the Progression of Serum Transfer-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Flip is well known as an anti-apoptotic protein induced by chronic inflammation that protects against death receptor-mediated apoptosis. Employing a FLIP myeloid lineage knock-out…Abstract Number: 856 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Am80, a Retinoic Acid Receptor Agonist, Ameliorates Murine Vasculitisthrough the Suppression of Neutrophil Migration and Activation
Background/Purpose: Vasculitis is characterized by leukocyte infiltration in the vessel walls with destructive damage to mural structures. Retinoids are compounds that bind to retinoic acid…Abstract Number: 311 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The DEK Autoantigen Regulates Formation of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Zymosan Induced Arthritis in Mice
Background/Purpose: The nuclear oncoprotein DEK is a known autoantigen associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and other autoimmune diseases. DEK is actively secreted by human…
