Hsp90 as a Potential Biomarker of Lung and Skin Involvement in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Our previous study demonstrated that Hsp90 is overexpressed in the skin of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc), in cultured SSc fibroblasts and preclinical models…Abstract Number: 279 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Heat Shock Protein 90 in Muscle Tissue and Plasma in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies Correlates with Disease Activity and Skeletal Muscle Involvement
Background/Purpose: Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are chaperones playing important roles in skeletal muscle physiology, adaptation to exercise or stress, and activation of inflammatory cells. The…Abstract Number: 309 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Plasma Levels of Heat Shock Protein 90 Are Increased in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies and Correlate with Disease Activity, Skeletal Muscle, Heart and Lung Involvement
Background/Purpose: Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are chaperones playing important roles in skeletal muscle physiology, adaptation to exercise or stress, and in activation of inflammatory cells.…Abstract Number: 531 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immune Responses to Mycobacterium Heat Shock Protein 70 Accompany Self-Reactivity to Human Bip in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Molecular mimicry is believed to be an important mechanism of autoimmunity development. We previously demonstrated that imbalance between effector and regulatory T cells specific for BiP, a…Abstract Number: 2218 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Stress-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Atrophy Can be Prevented By Pharmacological Upregulation of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP) in Cultured Murine Myotubes
Background/Purpose: The symmetrical proximal muscle weakness typical of myositis often fails to improve completely with any treatment, due to irreversible muscle fibre degeneration. Although inflammatory…
