Mass Cytometry Reveals Activation Heterogeneity of Circulating Neutrophils in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils are important effector cells in systemic immune-mediated diseases. Neutrophil phenotypes vary depending on their age, maturity, activation state, and local environment; however, differences…Abstract Number: 1524 • ACR Convergence 2020
Interstitial Lung Disease, Kidney Inflammation and Myositis Are Induced by Transfer of PBMC Derived from Systemic Sclerosis Patients into Rag2-/-/ IL2rg-/- mice
Background/Purpose: To explore the pathogenic potential of lymphocytes in systemic sclerosis (SSc) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a humanized mouse model was generated by transferring…Abstract Number: 0974 • ACR Convergence 2020
Role of NR4A Nuclear Receptor Family in RA Synovial Ectopic Lymphoid Neogenesis Revealed by Single Cell Profiling
Background/Purpose: Ectopic lymphoid structures (ELS) have been observed in synovial tissue of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients but their functional relevance in the disease remains unclear.…Abstract Number: 1525 • ACR Convergence 2020
Intergenic HLA Variants in African American Patients with Systemic Sclerosis Regulate Expression of HLA-DRB1
Background/Purpose: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) from the Genome Research in African American Scleroderma Patients (GRASP) cohort has identified the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region as…Abstract Number: 0977 • ACR Convergence 2020
Expanded T Peripheral Helper Cells and Increased Pathologic B Cell Lung Infiltration in Pristane-induced Murine Lupus in the Absence of BCL6+ Tfh Cells
Background/Purpose: PD-1hi CXCR5- T peripheral helper (Tph) cells are highly expanded in RA and SLE patients. Like T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, human Tph cells…Abstract Number: 1836 • ACR Convergence 2020
Alternative Renal Response Definitions in a Randomized, Controlled Trial of Obinutuzumab for Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Obinutuzumab, a type II anti-CD20 mAb, resulted in rapid and complete B-cell depletion and improved renal responses in proliferative lupus nephritis (LN) in the…Abstract Number: 0988 • ACR Convergence 2020
Two-Year Results from a Randomized, Controlled Study of Obinutuzumab for Proliferative Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: NOBILITY demonstrated improved renal responses and complete B-cell depletion with the humanized type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody obinutuzumab (OBI) compared with placebo (PBO) through…Abstract Number: 1996 • ACR Convergence 2020
Evaluation of Response to Pneumococcal Vaccination in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Receiving Upadacitinib: Results from a Phase 2 Open-Label Extension Study
Background/Purpose: Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended in patients with RA who are receiving conventional synthetic/biologic DMARDs.1 Upadacitinib (UPA) is an oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor engineered to…Abstract Number: 0990 • ACR Convergence 2020
Interferon Lambda Promotes Human Plasma Cell Differentiation in Lupus and Healthy Donors
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by antinuclear autoantibodies produced by plasma cells. Type I interferon (IFN) are cytokines which…Abstract Number: 2052 • ACR Convergence 2020
Extended Follow-Up of Patients Recruited to a Randomized, Controlled Trial of Rituximab versus Azathioprine After Induction of Remission with Rituximab for Patients with ANCA-Associated Vasculitis and Relapsing Disease
Background/Purpose: Rituximab is an effective therapy for induction of remission in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). However, the effect of rituximab is not sustained, and subsequent relapse…
