Genome Wide Association Studies in SLE Predict E-Genes and Gene Expression Patterns That Inform Ancestral-Specific Molecular Pathways and Targeted Therapies
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-organ autoimmune disorder with an important genetic component. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have linked many single nucleotide polymorphisms…Abstract Number: 1102 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Multi-Organ RNA-Sequencing of Patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) Finds That Intrinsic Subsets Are Conserved across Organ Systems
Background/Purpose: Internal organ involvement is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Here we tested the hypothesis generated from a meta-analysis…Abstract Number: 2014 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Next Generation Sequencing Analysis of Familial Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) Related Genes in Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS) and Secondary HLH (sHLH)
Background/Purpose: Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), a severe complication of pediatric rheumatic disease, is currently classified among the secondary forms of HLH (sHLH). Primary HLH (pHLH)…Abstract Number: 1109 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gene Expressions of TMEM176A and TMEM176B Were Prominent at the Stage of Subclinical Pulmonary Vascular Disease in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is prominent as a vascular involvement of systemic sclerosis (SSc), which remains a leading cause of death in spite of…Abstract Number: 2023 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Different Patterns of Interferon-Response-Gene Expression May Elucidate Different Pathomechanisms That Drive IFN-Response-Gene Activation in Patients with Presumed IFN-Mediated Autoinflammatory Diseases
Background/Purpose: Many infants and children with early-onset autoinflammatory diseases are mutation-negative for genetically known autoinflammatory diseases. Recent data suggest a role for Type-I interferon dysregulation…Abstract Number: 1118 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Identification of Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder with poor outcomes and no FDA-approved therapies. Prior work has shown gene expression patterns associated with…Abstract Number: 2024 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of B and T Cell Subsets, Cytokine Expression and Synovial Pathology in Down’s Arthritis (DA) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
Background/Purpose: Down syndrome (DS) is a common chromosomal disorder associated with a range of medical & immune abnormalities e.g. increased susceptibility to infections & a…Abstract Number: 7 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
RNA Sequencing Detection of Gene Dysregulation in B Cells Sorted from Salivary Gland Tissue and from Peripheral Blood Reveals New Pathways Involved in Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Pathophysiology
Background/Purpose: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic auto-immune disorder characterized by lymphocytic infiltrates and destruction of the salivary glands. Chronic B cell activation, the…Abstract Number: 1121 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Characterizing the T Cell Receptor Repertoire in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: T cell receptors (TCRs) are a vital component of the adaptive immune system and TCR repertoire diversity is considered a measure of the immune…Abstract Number: 2057 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Alterations of the Splicing Machinery in Leukocyte Subsets of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Modulate Their Inflammatory, Autoimmune and Atherothrombotic Profiles
Background/Purpose: 1) To identify and characterize the alterations present in the splicing machinery in leukocyte subsets of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients, and 2) To evaluate…Abstract Number: 102 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Estrogen Controls the Expression of Serine Arginine-Rich Splicing Factor 1 (SRSF1) in Human T Lymphocytes Via Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Mechanisms
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic debilitating autoimmune disease that primarily afflicts women in the childbearing years. Female hormones especially estrogen are implicated…
