Bradykinin Receptor B1 Blockade Suppresses Soluble CD13-Induced Differentiation of Osteoclasts from Monocytes
Background/Purpose: CD13 is an ectopeptidase expressed on myeloid cells, endothelial cells, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Soluble (s) CD13 is generated by matrix…Abstract Number: 0267 • ACR Convergence 2024
IL-17 Participates in the Pathogenesis of Chronic Gouty Arthritis

Unraveling Knee Osteoarthritis Subtypes: Differential Effect of Oral Salmon Calcitonin Treatment
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) patients are to this day left without effective treatment options. Despite different etiologies, trials designs do not account for the substantial heterogeneity…Abstract Number: 1300 • ACR Convergence 2023
Bone Marrow Edema in MRI Is More Associated with Rapid Radiographic Progression Than Clinically Relevant Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose: Rapid radiographic progression (RRP) is selected as one of the risk factors for difficult- to- treat RA, which needs to be resolved as soon…Abstract Number: 1670 • ACR Convergence 2023
Exacerbation of Immune-mediated Inflammatory Diseases in COVID19 Sequelae

Distinct Perivascular and Intravascular Lymphatic Mast Cells and Their Role in Lymphatic Clearance, Joint Inflammation, and Bone Erosion in the TNF-Transgenic Murine Arthritis Model
Background/Purpose: Inflammatory-erosive arthritis is exacerbated by lymphatic dysfunction (1), and mast cells (MCs) regulate lymphatic vessel contractions via release of inflammatory and vasoactive mediators (2).…Abstract Number: 2004 • ACR Convergence 2023
Bone Health Following Bariatric Surgery: A Single Center Quality Improvement Study

Screening and Treatment of Low Bone Mineral Density in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Patients
Background/Purpose: Bone mineral density (BMD) loss and fracture are important causes of increased morbidity following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (allo-HCT).Recent societal recommendations support screeningDual…Abstract Number: 2171 • ACR Convergence 2023
Common IL-6 Signaling Is Inhibited by IL-6 Inhibitors and JAK Inhibitors, but Which Is Better at Preventing Bone Destruction in RA?
Background/Purpose: To date, there are no head-to-head clinical trials directly comparing the effects between IL-6i and JAKi on bone destruction in RA. In recent years,…Abstract Number: 0226 • ACR Convergence 2023
Relationships Among Parameters of Mineral Metabolism and Bone Turnover During Acute COVID-related Hospitalization and Subsequent Follow Up: A Pilot Study
Background/Purpose: Inflammatory conditions can exert direct adverse effects on bone metabolism, via increased bone resorption with inadequate compensatory bone formation. COVID-19 has been associated with…Abstract Number: 0881 • ACR Convergence 2023
Deficiency of the Pattern-recognition Receptor CD14 Protects Against LPS-induced Inhibition of Osteoclastogenesis in Vitro
Background/Purpose: Osteoarthritis is associated with bone changes such as subchondral sclerosis, bone marrow lesions, and osteophyte formation (Donel S, 2019). Prior work has demonstrated that…Abstract Number: 1185 • ACR Convergence 2023
