Epigenetic and Transcriptomic Profiling of Primary Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Patient Cells: Better Understanding of Disease Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: For many autoimmune diseases, including Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), the molecular mechanisms remain elusive. JIA can be used as a model to study autoimmune…Abstract Number: 182 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histone Methylation in γδ T Cells As a Biomarker of Behcet’s Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic recurrent, multisystem inflammatory disorder. The phenotypic characteristics include oral aphtha, genital ulcers, uveitis and skin lesions. No specific…Abstract Number: 2870 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Overexpression of EZH2 at the microRNA-142 Regulatory Region Contributes to Down-Regulation of microRNA-142-3p/5p in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Recently, our group has demonstrated that decreased microRNA-142-3p/5p (miR-142-3p/5p) which contributes to T cell overactivation and B cell hyperstimulation plays an essential role in…Abstract Number: 205 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mode of Action of Therapeutic Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibodies Revealed: Inflammation Reduction Due to Inhibition of Netosis
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils together with aberrant Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) formation contribute to the induction and propagation of inflammation. A growing number of studies indicate that…Abstract Number: 3080 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histone H2AX Phosphorylation As a Measure of DNA Double Strand Breaks and a Marker of Environmental Stress and Disease Activity in Lupus
Background/Purpose: Studies suggested that defective or inefficient DNA double strand break (DSB) repair results in failure to preserve genomic integrity leading to apoptotic cell death,…Abstract Number: 3154 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Importance of Somatic Hypermutation for the Immunoreactivity Towards Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs)-Citrullinated Autoantigens of RA Synovial Monoclonal Antibodies
Background/Purpose: We previously showed that anti-citrullinated peptide/protein antibodies (ACPA) targeting citrullinated antigens contained in neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs) can be manufactured within ectopic germinal center-like…Abstract Number: 870 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
IRF1 Influences on Histone H4 Acetylation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the classical systemic autoimmune disease. Epigenetic processes, such as posttranslational histone modifications, can regulate gene expression without altering the…Abstract Number: 1005 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Histone Lysine Demethylase KDM6A Mediates Joint Destruction in Osteoarthritic Knees By Epigenetic Disturbance of SOX9 Promoter and Histone H3K27
