Changes in Skin Fibroblast Polarization Gene Expression Herald Clinical Improvement in Early, Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: We previously identified a group of genes associated with high alpha-smooth muscle actin (aSMA) and low CD34 fibroblast staining in lesional systemic sclerosis (SSc)…Abstract Number: 1539 • ACR Convergence 2022
Gene Expression Meta-Analysis Reveals Aging and Cellular Senescence Signatures in Scleroderma-associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by diffuse fibrosis and vasculopathy that has potential to affect nearly every organ system. Interstitial lung…Abstract Number: 0562 • ACR Convergence 2022
Large-Scale Targeted Sequencing Study Links Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis with Rare Variants of MEFV, LYST, STXBP2, UNC13D
Background/Purpose: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is a genetically complex inflammatory condition. It can be marked by severe systemic inflammation that resembles the hereditary periodic…Abstract Number: 1552 • ACR Convergence 2022
Rare Variant Analysis of Aortopathy Genes in Takayasu’s Arteritis
Background/Purpose: A set of genes has been associated with aortopathies, which are defined as non-inflammatory diseases where the integrity of large arteries is compromised leading…Abstract Number: 0564 • ACR Convergence 2022
Identifying Shared Genetic Architecture Between RA and Other Conditions: A Phenome-Wide Association Study
Background/Purpose: RA shares individual risk alleles with other autoimmune conditions such as type 1 diabetes and celiac disease. However, there are limited studies examining the…Abstract Number: 1622 • ACR Convergence 2022
TNF Receptor 1 Drives Murine Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and Is Characterized by Loss of Capillary Endothelial Cells and Pericytes, Smooth Muscle Cell Proliferation, and Alterations in Fibroblast Phenotype
Background/Purpose: We previously demonstrated that TNF-transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice have findings consistent with connective-tissue disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (CTD-PAH), and that this pathology is mediated…Abstract Number: 0565 • ACR Convergence 2022
Deciphering Complement System-dependent Cellular Pathways in Human Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Tissues Using Single-cell Computational Omics
Background/Purpose: The complement system is a major component of innate immunity and plays a vital role in experimental models of autoimmune arthritis pathogenesis. In patients…Abstract Number: 1663 • ACR Convergence 2022
Age-Dependent Expansion and Activation of Disease-Associated Microglia in Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects multipe end organs, including the brain. Despite a prevalence of over 50% in…Abstract Number: 0603 • ACR Convergence 2022
Survivin-dependent Regulation of Bivalent Chromatin and Its Relevance for Adaptive Immunity
Background/Purpose: Bivalent chromatin (BvCR) is characterized by simultaneous binding of active and repressive modifications to the histone H3 proteins. Influencing expression of the genes, BvCR…Abstract Number: 1666 • ACR Convergence 2022
Differentiation of Injury-associated Macrophages in Lupus Kidneys Is Conserved in Humans and Lupus Mouse Models
Background/Purpose: Infiltrating monocytes acquire functions that support kidney remodeling in response to tissue damage in lupus nephritis. This process of monocyte differentiation has been difficult…Abstract Number: 0643 • ACR Convergence 2022
Subsetting SLE Patients Based on DNA Methylation at the Time of Disease Flare
Background/Purpose: Current treatments for SLE do not adequately prevent disease progression. This lack of efficacy, in part, relates to the molecular heterogeneity of disease. The…Abstract Number: 1678 • ACR Convergence 2022
A Genome-Wide Association Analysis of 2,622,830 Individuals Reveals New Pathogenic Pathways in Gout
Background/Purpose: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in gout have been relatively small (≤13,179 people with gout) and have provided little insight into the progression from hyperuricemia…Abstract Number: 0774 • ACR Convergence 2022
HLA-DQ2 Is Associated with Anti-drug Antibody Formation to Infliximab Across Immune-mediated Inflammatory Diseases
Background/Purpose: Immunogenicity is a leading cause of treatment failure to TNF inhibitors, and also affects drug safety. Variations in HLA class II genes have been…
