Increase of IL10 and IFNa2 Are Associated to Clinical Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematous Patients
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by deregulation of cytokine production. Interferon (IFN) is a proinflamatory cytokine considered as a key…Abstract Number: 0041 • ACR Convergence 2024
Disease Activity and Serological Inflammatory Markers Are Associated with TNF-a and IL-6-Induced Osteoclasts, but Not with RANKL-Induced Osteoclasts in Peripheral Blood Monocytes from Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: We previously reported that a combination of TNF-α and IL-6 induces mouse osteoclast (OC)-like cells and human OCs with bone resorption activity [Arthritis &…Abstract Number: 0879 • ACR Convergence 2024
A Novel, Oral, Allosteric Inhibitor of Tyrosine Kinase 2 (TYK2) Demonstrates In Vitro Potency, Selectivity, and In Vivo Efficacy in Mouse Models of Psoriasis
Background/Purpose: Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of the Janus kinase (JAK) family, plays a key role in several inflammatory diseases. Orthosteric, small molecule inhibitors…Abstract Number: 1622 • ACR Convergence 2024
18F-FDG PET/CT in LVV During Active and Inactive Disease Phases Is Associated with the Metabolic Profile, but Not with Macrophage-related Cytokines: Results of an Integrated Analysis
Background/Purpose: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may affect temporal arteries (cranial-GCA) or may present as a systemic disease extended to the large vessels [Large Vessel Vasculitis…Abstract Number: 2432 • ACR Convergence 2024
In Vitro and In Vivo Evidence of the Steroid-Sparing Potential of Afimetoran, an Equipotent Toll-Like Receptor 7/8 Dual Antagonist
Background/Purpose: SLE is a highly heterogeneous chronic autoimmune disease, with glucocorticoid therapy as the standard of care. SLE control requires high steroid doses; long-term use…Abstract Number: 0043 • ACR Convergence 2024
Inflammatory and Angiogenic Serum Profile of Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Despite the emergence of new therapies, a considerable proportion of individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) still endure symptoms, giving rise to the concept of…Abstract Number: 0881 • ACR Convergence 2024
Cytokine Profile of Newly Diagnosed Patients with Isolated Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Background/Purpose: Despite polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) being the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease in those over the age of 50 years, there remains a significant unmet…Abstract Number: 1650 • ACR Convergence 2024
IL-33 Expands Plasma Cells, Disrupts Germinal Centers and Increases Autoantibody Production
Background/Purpose: IL-33 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays a role in asthma, COPD and autoimmune diseases. The role of IL-33 on B cell maturation and…Abstract Number: 2595 • ACR Convergence 2024
TGF-β Activated Kinase 1 (TAK1) Inhibition Suppresses Synovial Inflammation and Tissue Destruction Mediated by Activated Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Synovial inflammation is a common manifestation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), often accompanied by debilitating synovial hyperplasia. The current study aims to characterize the…
