Background/Purpose: Previous studies have shown that proteins modified with malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) and/or citrulline (CIT) co-localize in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissues, are pro-inflammatory, and promote…Abstract Number: 3020 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Citrullination of Inhibitor of DNA Binding-1 at Specific Locations Leads to Autoantigenicity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Inhibitor of DNA binding-1 (Id1) is a nuclear transcription factor that regulates cell growth and differentiation via selective binding and sequestering of other transcription…Abstract Number: 3148 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Peptidylarginine Deiminase 2 Is Required for Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Induced Citrullination and Arthritis, but Not Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation

Immunomodulation By a Second-Generation Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase Inhibitor Abrogates Collagen-Induced Arthritis in a Therapeutic Protocol
Background/Purpose: Citrullination is a post translational modification of arginine catalysed by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs) and may be important in generating pathogenic autoantibodies to citrullinated…Abstract Number: 1038 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Peptidylarginine Deiminase 4 in Lung and Joint Inflammation
Background/Purpose: The relationship between lung and joint inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis is poorly understood. About 10% of people with rheumatoid arthritis develop interstitial lung disease…Abstract Number: 1371 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Complement-Mediated Neutrophil Lysis-a Mechanism Promoting Hypercitrullination in Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Background/Purpose: Protein citrullination, the post-translational conversion of arginine to citrulline, mediated by peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes, is considered a likely mechanism for the stimulation of…Abstract Number: 1510 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association Between HDL Cholesterol Efflux Capacity, Citrullinated ApoA1 and Anti-Citrullinated ApoA1 Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol efflux capacity measures how well HDL particles remove cholesterol from lipid-laden macrophages, such as those found in atherosclerotic plaques. …Abstract Number: 1617 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence for Citrullinated Inhibitor of DNA Binding 1 (Id1) As a Novel Autoantigen Candidate in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Inhibitor of DNA-binding 1 (Id1) is a nuclear transcription factor actively transcribed in endothelial progenitor cells and in cells that exhibit hyperproliferative responses such…Abstract Number: 1769 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Role of Topical Administration of Peptidylarginine Deiminase Inhibitors in Murine Lupus
Background/Purpose: Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), specifically PAD4, have recently been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) through their role in citrullinating histones in…Abstract Number: 1946 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel HLA-DRB1*10:01 Restricted T Cell Epitope from Citrullinated Type II Collagen Relevant for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies against citrullinated collagen type II (Cit-CII) are common in sera and synovial fluids of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, whereas the known CII T-cell…Abstract Number: 521 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeted Quantitative Analysis to Identify Citrullinated Peptides in the Synovial Fluid of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The protein/peptide citrullination is a post-translational modification and the citrullinated peptide epitopes are recognized by anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibody (ACPA), which is a major diagnostic…Abstract Number: 528 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
RA33 Challenges the Paradigm of Autoantigen Selection in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Antibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPAs) are the autoimmune hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and can precede the onset of symptomatic disease by years. By…Abstract Number: 530 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immunomodulation of Naïve RA Patients PBMCs with a Multi-Epitope Peptide Derived from Citrullinated Autoantigens
Background/Purpose: Citrullinated peptides are major targets of disease-specific autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We generated a multi-epitope citrullinated peptide (Cit-ME), derived from major prevalent citrullinated…Abstract Number: 444 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence for Citrullination of the Nuclear Transciption Factor Inhibitor of DNA Binding 1 (Id1) in Rheumatoid Arthritis
