Consequences of SLE Heterogeneity on the Epigenome and the Drivers Behind
Background/Purpose: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a prototypic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by a complex aetiology and heterogenous symptomatology which has been recently dissected using…Abstract Number: 1878 • ACR Convergence 2022
Identification of Serum Biomarkers Associated with Muscle Inflammation Detected on MRI in Polymyositis/dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Muscle inflammation is a major clinical manifestation in patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). Phenotypes of PM/DM patients, especially those with interstitial lung diseases, are known…Abstract Number: 0596 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) Trigger an Enhanced Pro-inflammatory Response in Macrophage Subpopulations in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) Pathway
Background/Purpose: Activated neutrophils (PMN) form neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), fibers of DNA and associated proteins expelled in the extracellular space. Increased NET formation has been…Abstract Number: 1156 • ACR Convergence 2022
Serum Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Is Increased in Patients with Active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Persists Despite Anti-TNF Treatment
Background/Purpose: There is increasing evidence of the pathogenetic role of monocytes and neutrophils in AS, while the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio correlates with disease activity (1). Granulocyte-Monocyte…Abstract Number: 1929 • ACR Convergence 2022
Outcomes and Safety of Anakinra for the Treatment of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
Background/Purpose: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a clinical entity distinct from primary COVID-19 infection that resembles Kawasaki disease (KD) and toxic shock syndrome.…Abstract Number: 0597 • ACR Convergence 2022
TNF-α Utilizes the TWEAK/Fn-14 Axis in Human Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: TNF-α is a proinflammatory cytokine in rheumatoid arthritis that exerts effect through specific receptors TNFR1/2. Though it is a primary therapeutic target, there exist…Abstract Number: 1157 • ACR Convergence 2022
Bacterial Indole Associated with Spondyloarthritis-Related Dysbiosis Contributes to Enhanced Th17 Immunity
Background/Purpose: While intestinal dysbiosis and the Th17 pathway are linked to the pathophysiology of spondyloarthritis (SpA), the mechanisms by which this occurs are unknown. We…Abstract Number: 1940 • ACR Convergence 2022
Genetic Variants and Cytokine Signatures in Patients with Syndrome of Undifferentiated Recurrent Fevers
Background/Purpose: Unexplained, recurrent fevers are a common presentation to pediatric rheumatology and a cause of significant burden to affected families due to days of daycare…Abstract Number: 0615 • ACR Convergence 2022
Semaphorin 5A Suppresses Ferroptosis Through Activation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR Signaling in Rheumatoid Arthritis
