The Dual Specificity Phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) Regulates Arthritis Severity and IL10 Production
Background/Purpose: We have previously identified the Huntingtin-interacting protein-1 (HIP1) as a new gene implicated in the regulation of the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS)…Abstract Number: 0796 • ACR Convergence 2023
Role of Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Immune-cell mediated activation of joint-lining fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) play a key role in joint inflammation and destruction during Rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Thus, identifying factors…Abstract Number: 0797 • ACR Convergence 2023
Innate Lymphoid Cells Enhance Development of CD4+ T-cell Driven Autoimmune Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Innate Lymphoid cells (ILCs) are innate counterparts to T-cells that, based on their functional phenotype, can be divided into three subpopulations called Group 1…Abstract Number: 0802 • ACR Convergence 2023
Targeting Fibroblasts in Inflammatory Disease Using Engineered T Cells
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAPa) expressing fibroblasts orchestrate tissue inflammation and damage in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as well as tissue immunity in primary Sjögren's…Abstract Number: 1020 • ACR Convergence 2021
Enhancing Endothelial Cell Barrier Function via Sphingosine -1 Phosphate Receptor 1 (S1PR1) – a Novel Treatment for Experimental Arthritis
Background/Purpose: S1PR1 signaling plays critical roles in EC barrier function and vascular health, but until now, research on S1PR1 modulation in autoimmune rheumatic disease has…Abstract Number: 0450 • ACR Convergence 2020
In Vitro Characterization of Inflammatory Arthritis Associated with Immune Check Point Inhibition
Background/Purpose: During treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) such as the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, 2-4% of cancer patients develop inflammatory arthritis as an immune-related adverse…Abstract Number: 0741 • ACR Convergence 2020
Constitutive Inhibitor Kappa B (IκB) Kinase 2 (IKK2) Activation Induces an Inflammatory State in Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) are key players involved in the production of inflammatory mediators that trigger joint tissue damage in inflammatory arthritis (IA). The most…Abstract Number: 0967 • ACR Convergence 2020
Absence of Thy1 Associated with Severe Bone Loss in the TNF-transgenic (TNF-Tg) Mice Arthritis Model
Background/Purpose: Thy1 (CD90) is a glycosylated, glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane protein noted to be expressed on many cells including T lymphocytes, stem cells, osteoblasts and fibroblasts.…
