Activated Memory T Cells Produce Ligands That Cause NF-κB-dependent Inflammatory Activation of the Endothelium: Identification of Novel Therapeutic Targets
Background/Purpose: Endothelial cells (EC) are important contributors to inflammation via expression of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules. Production of these inflammatory mediators…Abstract Number: 0285 • ACR Convergence 2020
CXCL13 Neutralization Reduces Neuropsychiatric Manifestations in MRL/lpr Mice
Background/Purpose: Targeted treatments for neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE) remain challenging to develop due to the unclear pathogenesis of the disease. Our laboratory has previously…Abstract Number: 0386 • ACR Convergence 2020
Phase 1 Clinical Study of MGTA-145 in Combination with Plerixafor Shows Rapid Single-Day Mobilization and Collection of CD34+ Hematopoietic Stem Cells Without G-CSF
Background/Purpose: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation is a recommended therapeutic option for selected patients with scleroderma and other autoimmune diseases. HSC transplant requires collection…Abstract Number: 0644 • ACR Convergence 2020
Characterizations of Cytokine Storm Associated with COVID19
Background/Purpose: COVID-19, the name given to the clinical syndrome associated with the newly recognized virus SARS-CoV-2 has become pandemic with mortality estimated based on reports…Abstract Number: 0682 • ACR Convergence 2020
Role of Inflammatory and Oxidative Stress Pathway Biomarkers in Renal Disease in Gout
Background/Purpose: To understand the role of inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress biomarkers in the renal disease in people with gout. We hypothesized that higher gout…Abstract Number: 0999 • ACR Convergence 2020
CXCL13 Is a Key Driver for Migration and Differentiation of Regulatory B Cells
Background/Purpose: Human regulatory B cells still need to be characterized. Given the absence of phenotypical definition, a functional definition based on their ability to secrete…Abstract Number: 1150 • ACR Convergence 2020
Traditional Laboratory Parameters and New Biomarkers in Macrophage Activation Syndrome and Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Background/Purpose: Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) and secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) are hyperinflammatory conditions caused by a cytokine storm, in which IFNγ plays a pivotal role.…Abstract Number: 079 • 2020 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
Traditional Laboratory Parameters and New Biomarkers in Macrophage Activation Syndrome and Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
Background/Purpose: Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) and Secondary Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) are hyperinflammatory conditions caused by a cytokine storm. Prompt recognition and early treatment are essential…Abstract Number: 9 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Chemokine CXCL 10 Gene Expression as a Potential Activity Biomarker of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by a wide range of systemic dysfunctions as well as an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Chemokine CXCL 10…Abstract Number: 17 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Transcription Factor Fli-1 Impacts Lupus Nephritis by Orchestrating CXCL10/CXCR3 Axis
