Autoantibodies Against Malondialdehyde-modifications Promote Osteoclast Development by Reprogramming Cellular Metabolism
Background/Purpose: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a highly reactive compound generated during lipid-peroxidation in conditions associated with oxidative stress. MDA can irreversibly modify proteins (e.g. lysine, arginine…Abstract Number: 0973 • ACR Convergence 2021
Modeling of Clinical Phenotypes in SLE Based on Platelet Transcriptomic Analysis and FCGR2a Biallelic Variants

Background/Purpose: TNF-alpha (TNFa) has been shown to contribute to osteoclastogenesis (OCgenesis) independently and in conjunction with M-CSF or RANKL, two key cytokines involved in osteoclast…Abstract Number: 2037 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
CTLA4 Signaling Down-Regulates Fcγ Receptor I Expression on Circulating Monocytes: A Potential Mechanism of Action of Abatacept for RA
Background/Purpose: Abatacept is a recombinant fusion protein comprising cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4) and Fc region of immunoglobulin (Ig), which is efficacious against rheumatoid…Abstract Number: 59 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Agents for Blocking the Interaction of Immune Complexes with the Activatory FcγRIIIa Receptor
Background/Purpose: Protein-protein interactions are essential for the control of cellular functions and critical for regulation of the immune system. One example is the binding of…Abstract Number: 1006 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immune Complex-Mediated TLR8 Activation Shifts Neutrophils from Phagocytosis to Netosis through Furin-Dependent Shedding of Fcgriia
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils, isolated from healthy individuals, were incubated with RNA-ICs and analyzed for phagocytosis and NETosis by flow cytometry and fluorimetry, respectively, in the presence…Abstract Number: 1569 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Circulating CD14brightCD16+ Intermediate Monocytes Are Regulated By Interleukin-10 in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The study enrolled 35 untreated RA patients and 14 healthy volunteers. DAS28-ESR was evaluated and peripheral blood samples were obtained at baseline and following…Abstract Number: 2065 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Platelet FcγRIIa Polymorphism H131R Associates with Subclinical Atherosclerosis and Increased Platelet Activity in SLE
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by heterogeneity of presentation, an undulating course, and elevated risk for premature cardiovascular disease.…Abstract Number: 2263 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Apolipoprotein E Regulates Inflammation and Joint Destruction during Antigen-Induced Arthritis (AIA)
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease largely driven by immune complexes and their interaction with FcγRs present on macrophages within the synovium.…Abstract Number: 543 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The IL-20 Receptor Axis in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Novel Inflammation-Independent Links Between Autoantibody Positivity and Radiographic Progression
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often characterized by the presence of rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) and bone erosions. Successful treatment can compromise…Abstract Number: 3024 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Fcγriiia Mediated Signal Cause Epigenetic Changes in Human Naive CD4+ T-Cells
Background/Purpose: Signals that trigger epigenetic changes in CD4+ T-cells are unknown. To examine a role for FcγRIIIa mediated co-signal in causing epigenetic changes in human…Abstract Number: 2577 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ablation of Fc Gamma Receptors Leads to a Decreased Bone Erosion in Experimental Arthritis Not By Altering Osteoclast Numbers within the Inflamed Joint but By Inhibiting Osteoclast Activation
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by immune complex dependent chronic joint inflammation and severe cartilage and bone destruction. In earlier studies we showed that Fcγ…Abstract Number: 1017 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Mechanism of Arthritis-Induced Pain: Activation of Sensory Neurons By Autoantibodies
Background/Purpose: Joint pain is one of the main reasons for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to seek medical care. Collagen type II (CII) antibodies (Abs)…Abstract Number: 1016 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Collagen Antibodies Induce Pain-like Behavior in Mice Independent of Inflammation and Complement Activation but Requires Fcγrs
