A Molecular Timeline for Preclinical RA Pathogenesis Defined By Dysregulated PTPN22, Hypercitrullination, and Aberrant Cytokine/Metabolic Profiles in PBMC of at-Risk Individuals
Background/Purpose: One unique feature of RA is the presence of ACPA. PTPN22 is a phosphatase that also acts to suppress citrullination independently of its phosphatase…Abstract Number: 2417 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibodies To Porphyromonas Gingivalis Peptidylarginine Deiminase In Rheumatoid Arthritis Are Not Directed Against The Autocitrullinated Enzyme
Background/Purpose: Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) has received considerable attention by investigators trying to explain the striking association of periodontal disease (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Bacterial…Abstract Number: 2233 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Porphyromonas Gingivalis peptidylarginine Deiminase Exacerbates Collagen-Induced Arthritis In C57BL/6 mice
Background/Purpose: There is increasing molecular and epidemiological evidence linking Porphyromonas gingivalis to RA. P. gingivalis is unique amongst periodontal pathogens in possessing a citrullinating enzyme…
