Flip Deficiency in Dendritic Cells Promotes Spontaneous Arthritis Mediated By Reduced Treg and Increased Autoreactive CD4+t Cells
Background/Purpose Flip (CFLAR) has been identified as a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk allele and is important in preventing death receptor mediated apoptosis of dendritic cells…Abstract Number: 1645 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interferon Gene Signature Expression and Serological Differences in Japanese and Non-Japanese SLE Patients
Background/Purpose: Elevated expression of interferon(IFN)-regulated genes in peripheral blood cells has been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and is known as the IFN…Abstract Number: 887 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serological and Clinical Characteristics of a Large Collection of Incomplete Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background/Purpose: Incomplete lupus (ILE) is defined as a condition in which patients present with signs of systemic autoimmunity and clinical manifestations compatible with systemic lupus…Abstract Number: 2891 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inflammatory Genes Are Associated with Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis-Free Individuals Who Are at-Risk for Future Disease
Background/Purpose: We previously found that presence of rheumatoid arthritis(RA)-related autoantibodies is associated with systemic inflammation, and that decreased consumption of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids (n-3…Abstract Number: 1644 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mycophenolic Acid and Ribavirin Induces Cytoplasmic Autoimmunogenic Rods and Rings Structures in Vivo
Background/Purpose Autoantibodies to IMPDH2 occur in Hepatitis C patients receiving ribavirin (RBV) & interferon-α (IFN-α). Anti-IMPDH2 antibodies recognize “rods and rings” (RR) cytoplasmic structures in…Abstract Number: 861 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultraviolet B Generates Type 1 Interferon and Induces Autoantibody-Mediated Disease in a Mouse Model of Cutaneous Lupus
Background/Purpose Photosensitivity is a common symptom in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus skin lesions often contain plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC). The mechanisms…Abstract Number: 2872 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
B-Cell Autoepitope and Tetramer Analysis Reveals Expansion of Apoptotic Autoantigen La and snRNP Reactive B Cells in BXD2 Mice
Background/Purpose Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is characterized by production of highly pathogenic IgG autoantibodies (autoAbs). While serum autoAb profiling is standard, it remains challenging to…Abstract Number: 1606 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Profiling a Broad Range of Autoantibodies in Healthy and Systemic Lupus Erythematosis Revealed Autoantibody Patterns Associated with Autoantibody Transition and Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies targeting to nuclear antigens are serological hallmarks of SLE, however, the processing of autoantibody production during the transition from normal to autoimmunity and…Abstract Number: 780 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Roles for Zyxin in the Pathogenesis of Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose �:The mechanisms of the blood vessel injury in giant cell arteritis (GCA), a systemic vasculitis characterized by inflammation of large- and medium-sized vessels, remain…Abstract Number: 2874 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pro-Inflammatory FcRL4+ Memory B Cells in Joints of RA Patients: Immunoglobulin Gene Characteristics and Antigen Specificity
