RNA-Sequencing Reveals Sjogren’s Syndrome Anti-Ro Negative Patients Share Similar Pathways to Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibodies to Ro and/or La proteins and lymphocytic infiltration into exocrine glands. Multiple sclerosis (MS)…Abstract Number: 1571 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Altered Bioenergetics, Mitochondrial Function and Pro-Inflammatory Pathways in RA Synovium in Response to Tofacitinib
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic joint disease, characterised by synovial inflammation and destruction of articular cartilage/bone. The Janus-Kinase and Signal Transducer and Activator…Abstract Number: 3117 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Development of Autoimmune Diseases and Genetic Predisposition in Children with Neonatal Lupus and Their Unaffected Siblings
Background/Purpose: Neonatal Lupus (NL) is a model of passively acquired autoimmunity conferred by exposure to maternal anti-Ro antibodies. This study was initiated to address the…Abstract Number: 670 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Identification and Characterization of Sjogren’s Syndrome-Associated Genetic Variants in the IL12A and DDX6-CXCR5 Loci
Background/Purpose: Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune-mediated disease with hallmark features of dry eyes/mouth and autoantibodies. Genetic susceptibility to SS involves many loci, including the…Abstract Number: 1638 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antibody Mediated Immunity Drives Response to Methotrexate Treatment in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Methotrexate (MTX) is the first line treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) in Sweden, but one third of patients do not experience satisfying treatment response.…Abstract Number: 3175 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Longitudinal Analysis of MMF Clinical, Molecular, and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Responses Shows SSc Patients Lose Their Inflammatory Signature and Rebound upon Treatment Cessation
Background/Purpose: We previously showed patients in the inflammatory subset were most likely to demonstrate improvement in modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) during mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)…Abstract Number: 800 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
An Altered Cardiovascular System Development Gene Expression Signature in Skin is a Hallmark of Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis
