An Arthritogenic Strain of Subdoligranulum Specifically Detectable in the Feces of Individuals At-risk for and with Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Bound by ACPA and Stimulates Th17 Cell Activation in Those with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: We previously demonstrated that intestinal bacteria within the families Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae are preferentially targeted by ACPA-reactive plasmablast-derived monoclonal antibodies (PB-mAbs) from dual IgA/IgG…Abstract Number: 0601 • ACR Convergence 2022
Occupational Inhaled Agents Constitute Major Risk Factors for Rheumatoid Arthritis, Particularly in the Context of Genetic Predisposition and Smoking
Background/Purpose: The lung is recognized as a primary site in the induction of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our study aims to assess the effect of common…Abstract Number: 0605 • ACR Convergence 2022
Citrullinated Peptide-Specific ACPA Are Present in the Female Genital Tract in Premenopausal Women with and Without RA
Background/Purpose: Women develop RA ~3 times more often than men. The etiology of this sex difference remains largely unexplained. Generation of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA)…Abstract Number: 0618 • ACR Convergence 2022
Regulation of IgA Secretion Through PAD2-mediated Citrullination of MZB1
Background/Purpose: The secretion of antibody requires concerted action of several endoplasmic reticulum proteins (ERPs) in B cells. For example, marginal zone B and B1 cell-specific…Abstract Number: 0906 • ACR Convergence 2022
Patients with Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis Have a Different Ultrasound-assessed Joint Disease Phenotype Than Seropositive Patients
Background/Purpose: Seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SNRA) tends to be less severe in its presentation and evolution than seropositive rheumatoid arthritis(SPRA), but controversy exists because there have…Abstract Number: 0914 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Impact of Autoantibodies (RF and ACPA) on the Efficacy of Biological Disease-modifying Antirheumatic Drugs in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
Background/Purpose: The impact of autoantibodies on the efficacy of bDMARDs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is not yet clear. Despite the fact that this…Abstract Number: 1203 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Association Between Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibodies and Subclinical Interstitial Lung Disease in Community-Dwelling Adults: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Background/Purpose: We previously demonstrated a significant association between serum anti-CCP levels and prevalence of interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) in community-dwelling adults. A greater number of…Abstract Number: 1406 • ACR Convergence 2022
Integrative Multi-omic Phenotyping in Blood Identifies Molecular Signatures and Candidate Biomarkers of ACPA-negative Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: ACPA detection assays are often used for RA diagnosis due to their high specificity ( >90%). However, current ACPA assays (e.g., anti-CCP2 ELISA) have…Abstract Number: 0021 • ACR Convergence 2021
Unique Alterations in Circulating T Peripheral Helper Cells Are Found in Different Ethnic Groups of ACPA+ Individuals Both At-risk for and with Classified RA
Background/Purpose: Production of autoantibodies following pathogenic T and B cell interactions precede the development of RA. T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and T peripheral helper…Abstract Number: 1214 • ACR Convergence 2021
Examining the Relationship Between Shared Epitope, ACPA Seropositivity, and Real-World Drug Effectiveness in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The shared epitope (SE) is an amino acid sequence motif coded by several HLA-DRB1 alleles that are overrepresented among people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).…Abstract Number: 0033 • ACR Convergence 2021
Impaired Adipose Tissue Function in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Association with Autoimmunity, Disease Activity and Therapeutic Response
Background/Purpose: 1) to evaluate the relationship among adipose tissue dysfunction, autoimmunity and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients; 2) to analyze the direct effect…Abstract Number: 1243 • ACR Convergence 2021
Real World Validation of a Rule to Predict Response to Sarilumab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Analysis from the RISE Registry
Background/Purpose: Accurately identifying patients who may respond better to a specific drug or mechanism of action could improve rational selection of medications to optimize clinical…Abstract Number: 0034 • ACR Convergence 2021
Immune Complexes Contain Novel Acetylated Antigens in the Synovial Fluid of RA Patients
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by genetic predisposition and associated immunological features including the production of autoantibodies against various epitopes. Several…Abstract Number: 1648 • ACR Convergence 2021
Increasing Rates of Positivity of Autoantibodies Indicates a Shorter Time-to-Diagnosis of Future Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has a ‘pre-RA’ period that can be defined by elevations in autoantibodies to citrullinated protein antigens (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF)…Abstract Number: 0037 • ACR Convergence 2021
Identification and Validation of Four Circulating Autoantibodies Associated with the ACPA Status in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) is a highly specific hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), that is present also in early disease. However,…
