Autophagy Promotes Citrullination of Vimentin and Its Interaction with Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II in Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Citrullinated vimentin (cVIM) is one of the major autoantigens in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), recognized by anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies. Autophagy is a self-cannibalism…Abstract Number: 2337 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Vertebral Compression Fractures and Antibodies to Citrullinated Vimentin in Established Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Patients with RA have high rates of osteoporosis and fractures and RA induces articular and extra-articular bone loss. Seropositivity for any CCP antibody is…Abstract Number: 439 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interaction of Antibodies Against Citrullinated Peptides with HLA Shared Epitope, PTPN22 1858T Variant, and Smoking in Individuals Prior to and After the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The presence of antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (ACPA) has been demonstrated to precede the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by several years. The…Abstract Number: 412 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms within the HLA-DRB1 Gene in Relation to Antibodies Against Citrullinated Peptides in Individuals Prior to the Development of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Multiplex analysis has demonstrated the presence of several antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (ACPA) preceding the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by several years.…
