Investigating the Role of Mechanical Stress in Spondyloarthritis Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: Mechanotransduction is a cell’s ability to translate mechanical stimuli into biochemical signals and has been implicated in signaling pathways involving differentiation and proliferation. Mechanical…Abstract Number: 1932 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A2A Adenosine Receptor (A2AR) Stimulation Modulates NR4A2 Orphan Receptor Expression during Osteoclast Differentiation
Background/Purpose: Orphan receptors comprise a large number of evolutionarily conserved molecules that have unknown ligands but may have potent biologic effects. Among these receptors are…Abstract Number: 1936 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bimekizumab Blocks T Cell-Mediated Osteogenic Differentiation of Periosteal Stem Cells: Coupling Pathological Bone Formation to IL-17A and IL-17F Signaling
Background/Purpose: Structural tissue damage, as a result of pathological bone formation, is a major cause of disability in spondyloarthritis (SpA). A paucity of in vitro…Abstract Number: 323 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of 10 Years of Denosumab Treatment on Bone Histology and Histomorphometry in the Freedom Extension Study
Background/Purpose: Denosumab (DMAb) has been associated with low incidence of spine and non-spine, including hip, fractures through 10 years of treatment (Bone ASBMR 2015). Questions…Abstract Number: 1097 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tankyrase Regulates Osteoclastogenesis Via SH3BP2
Background/Purpose: Tankyrase is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase that leads to ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins. Axin, a regulatory protein of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, is one…Abstract Number: 2137 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Subchondral Bone Structure and Pain Behaviors in Collagenase Induced Noninflammatory Monoarthritis in Mice
Background/Purpose: Bone histomorphometry can define OA changes in rodents and in Antigen-Induced arthritis in rats. We previously found that pain from inflammatory monoarthritis in mouse…Abstract Number: 543 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The IL-20 Receptor Axis in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Novel Inflammation-Independent Links Between Autoantibody Positivity and Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often characterized by the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and bone erosions. Successful treatment can compromise…Abstract Number: 1941 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Senescent T-Cells Expedite RANKL-Dependent Bone Loss in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To study the influence of senescent CD28-T-cells on systemic osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and patients with primary osteoporosis. Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional study on…Abstract Number: 2084 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane Protein (DC-STAMP) Modulates Bone Resorption in Inflammatory Arthritis and Fracture Repair
Background/Purpose: Osteoclasts (OC) direct pathologic bone resorption in osteoporosis and inflammatory arthritis. We previously demonstrated that DC-STAMP (Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane protein), a 7-pass transmembrane protein,…Abstract Number: 2207 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interleukin-32γ Exhibited Protective Effects on Osteoporosis
Background/Purpose: Interleukin-32 (IL-32) has been known to be implicated in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. Osteoporosis, characterized by low bone density and increases the…Abstract Number: 2568 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Osteoimmunological Mechanistic Basis of Low-Dose Radiotherapy in TNF Driven Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Today many treatment options for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and degenerative inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases are available, however, not all patients respond properly or have to…Abstract Number: 25 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
DC-STAMP Modulates Osteoblast Differentiation and Regulates Bone Repair
Background/Purpose Patients with osteoporosis and the elderly have an increased risk of bone fracture. Currently, no biomarker is available to assess bone healing status in…Abstract Number: 24 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Netrin1 Is Highly Expressed and Required in Inflammatory Infiltrates in Wear Particle-Induced Osteolysis
Background/Purpose Osteoclasts play a critical role in homeostatic bone turnover and pathologic bone destruction. Netrin-1, expressed in the marrow only by osteoclast precursors, acts in…Abstract Number: 23 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Activation of EPAC1/2 Is Essential for Osteoclast Formation By Modulating NFkB Nuclear Translocation and Actin Cytoskeleton Rearrangements
Background/Purpose Bisphosphonates inhibit osteoclast differentiation/function via inhibition of Rap1A isoprenylation and cytoskeletal assembly. As Rap1 is the effector of EPAC proteins (exchange protein directly activated…Abstract Number: 1010 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
