Serum Cytokine and Chemokine Concentrations Predict Incident Cancer in US Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The immune system plays a critical protective role in cancer (CA) development. Perturbations in immune signaling, including cytokine dysregulation, may disrupt this homeostatic balance.…Abstract Number: 1017 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Autoantigen Pentraxin-3 Is an Inflammatory Cytokine Storms Suppressor By Switching Monocytes Pyroptosis to Apoptosis in a Complement-Dependent Manner in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: A delayed diagnoses and therapy of ACPA (Anti cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody)-negative RA patients might be associated with effective serum biomarkers in clinic. Methods:…Abstract Number: 1473 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Performance of the Meso Scale Multiplex Platform in the Assessment of Serum Cytokines / Chemokines in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Cytokines and chemokines (CK) are central to RA pathogenesis, a fact underscored by the emergence of multiplex immunoassays for quantifying CK values in both…Abstract Number: 2879 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma IL-23 and IL-25 Predict Response to Anti-TNF-α Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: TNF-α inhibitors are among the most widely used biological-DMARDs in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Means to predict response would allow for a more effective, targeted…Abstract Number: 521 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Update on the Clinical Phase 1 and Phase 2 Trials Investigating the Fully Human Immunocytokine Dekavil (F8IL10) in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The antibody-based targeted pharmacodelivery of cytokines by means of immunocytokines has the potential to enhance therapeutic activity at the site of disease while sparing…Abstract Number: 956 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inhibition of Fucosylation in Endothelial Cells Reduces Rheumatoid Arthritis Angiogenesis
Background/Purpose: Glycosylation has been reported to associate with tumor invasion and metastasis. Fucosylation is involved the biological functions of adhesion molecules and growth factor receptors.…Abstract Number: 957 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 15 Is Expressed on Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Tissue Endothelial Cells and Mediates Angiogenesis
Background/Purpose: A disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAMs) are reported that membrane-anchored glycoproteins composed of multiple distinct protein modules. ADAM-15 is one of them and is reported…Abstract Number: 958 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Induces Production of Eotaxin-1/CCL11 from Fibroblast-like Synoviocyte in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Chemokine C-C motif ligand 11 (CCL11) also known as eotaxin-1 is a member of the CC chemokine family, which acts as a major chemoattractant…Abstract Number: 1348 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Swollen Joint Count, but Not Inflammatory Cytokines, Differs By Frequency of Fish Consumption in a Cross-Sectional Rheumatoid Arthritis Cohort
Background/Purpose: Omega-3 fatty acids downregulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, thus have been of interest as adjunctive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) therapy for decades. We previously reported an inverse…Abstract Number: 1357 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with Comorbid Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Have Higher Serum Cytokine Expression
Background/Purpose: We have previously shown that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have higher disease activity measures, due primarily to patient reported…Abstract Number: 1747 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Human C-C Chemokine Receptor-6 (CCR6)+ Th Memory Cells, Including Th17 and Th17.1 Cells, Change into Anti-Inflammatory Cells with Regulatory Capacity upon Exposure to Vitamin D
Background/Purpose: Autoimmune diseases such as RA are driven by an aberrantly activated immune system and an imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cells, resulting in tissue…Abstract Number: 2354 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inflammatory Markers in Relation to Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in the Pre-Symptomatic Phase of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Individuals who later developed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased levels and frequencies of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), years before onset of RA.…Abstract Number: 2425 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
