Key Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Pathogenic Pathways Revealed By Integrative Analysis Of RA Omics Datasets
Background/Purpose: Genome-wide analysis of RA has independently evaluated DNA sequence variation, differential RNA expression, and differential DNA methylation. Each approach alone implicates promising pathways…Abstract Number: 1153 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts Lack Tolerization Of Inflammatory Cytokines and Matrix Degrading Enzymes After Repeated LPS Stimulation
Background/Purpose: In macrophages, repeated stimulation of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 leads to adaptation of signaling pathways and epigenetic modifications resulting in a tolerant state of…Abstract Number: 2735 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Integrative Analysis Of Multiple Omics Technologies Reveals a Novel Therapeutic Target For Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
Background/Purpose: Identifying novel therapeutic targets for immune-mediated disease has become increasingly challenging. We used an unbiased method to integrate multiple “omics” methodologies and evaluate…Abstract Number: 948 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dual Neutralization Of TNF and IL-17 Provides Greater Efficacy In Collagen Induced Arthritis Through Regulation Of a Gene Transcription Program That Includes CXCL1 and CXCL5
Background/Purpose: Dual neutralization of TNF and IL-17 is hypothesized to provide greater efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory diseases compared to either monotherapy as…Abstract Number: 2704 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Twist1 Regulates Transforming Growth Factor Beta Dependent Activation Of Fibroblasts In Fibrosis
Background/Purpose: Twist1 is a member of the tissue-restricted class B of basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors acting as master regulators on different tissues. Twist1 is controlled…Abstract Number: 822 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inhibition Of Casein Kinase II Reduces TGFβ Induced Fibroblast Activation and Ameliorates Experimental Fibrosis
Background/Purpose: Casein kinase-2 (CK2) is a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase. CK2 is a tetramer composed of 2 catalytic subunits (α or α’) and 2 β…Abstract Number: 2707 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Downregulation Of KLF5 and Fli1 Cooperatively Contribute To Distinct Manifestations Of Systemic Sclerosis In Vitro and In Vivo
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by initial vascular injuries and resultant fibrosis of skin and certain internal organs. Although the…Abstract Number: 823 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Activation Of Liver X Receptors Inhibits Experimental Fibrosis By Interfering With Interleukin-6 Release From Macrophages
Background/Purpose: Liver X receptors (LXRs) are orphan nuclear receptors with emerging roles in metabolic and autoimmune diseases. Here, we investigated the role of LXRs in…Abstract Number: 2562 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inhibition Of SOX9 Phosphorylation Abrogates The Increased Expression Of Profibrotic Genes In Systemic Sclerosis Dermal Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: SOX9, a high mobility group transcription factor is a master regulator of chondrogenesis and plays a crucial role in the regulation of chondrocyte gene…Abstract Number: 776 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha Modifies Chromatin Landscape and Amplifies Inflammatory Responses To Subsequent Stimuli In Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) cross-talk with macrophages (Mf) during the course of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our group has shown that TNFa, primarily Mf-derived within synovium,…Abstract Number: 2564 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Activation Of The TRPV1 and TRPV2 Non-Selective Cation Channels Potentiates TGF-β1-Induced Endothelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition In Murine Pulmonary Endothelial Cells Suggest a Potential Role Of Trpv Channels In The Pathogenesis Of Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Transient receptor potential (Trp) cation channel, subfamily V (TRPV) members can impact a diverse range of vascular functions, including vascular tone, vascular permeability, mechanosensing,…Abstract Number: 652 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pirfenidone and BIBF1120 Suppress Collagen Synthesis In Skin Fibroblast From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Pirfenidone (5-methyle-1-phenyl-2- [1H]-pyridone) and BIBF1120 (Nintedanib) are currently evaluated in clinical trials as a potential idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Pirfenidone was approved as the…Abstract Number: 2565 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synergistic Effects Of Endothelin-1 On Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) Induced Endothelial-To-Mesenchymal Transition. A Novel Mechanism For The Fibrogenic Effects Of Endothelin
Background/Purpose: The process of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) may be a crucial pathway in the generation of activated myofibroblasts, cells that play a pivotal role in…
