Synovial Fluid T Cells of Patients with Reactive Arthritis and Undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy Respond to Salmonella Typhimurium Outer Membrane Protein a and Induces IL17 and IL23 Production By Synovial Fluid Mononuclear Cells
Background/Purpose: We have previously shown that synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMCs) of patients with Reactive arthritis (ReA) and undifferentiated Spondyloarthropathy (uSpA) proliferated to low molecular…Abstract Number: 2838 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence of Serological IL-23/IL-17 Axis Activation in Ankylosing Spondylitis Patients with Long-Term TNF Blockade: The Missing Therapy Target?
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (Spa) is a group of inflammatory diseases in which ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the prototype. Despite recent advances in pathophysiology and treatment, this…Abstract Number: 3056 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Circulating Th17 Cells, Serum IL-17 and Serum IL-23 in Takayasu’s Arteritis
Background/Purpose: The immune mechanisms underlying Takayasu’s arteritis (TA) are not clear. Expanded Th17 T cell subset has been demonstrated in Giant Cell Arteritis. Gamma delta…Abstract Number: 1973 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ectopic Lymphoid Neogenesis Is Strongly Associated with Activation of the IL-23/IL-17 Pathway in Rheumatoid Synovitis
Background/Purpose : The functional relevance of synovial ectopic lymphoid neogenesis (ELN) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remains unknown. As ELN correlates with the degree of tissue…Abstract Number: 806 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in IL-12B Region with Clinical Features and Peripheral T Cell Profiles of Patients with Takayasu Arteritis
Background/Purpose We preliminarily found a SNP (A vs. C, rs6871626) in IL-12B region as a susceptibility gene to Takayasu arteritis (TAK) by genome-wide association study. IL-12Bencodes IL-12/IL-23…Abstract Number: 632 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
IL-23 Mediates Psoriasis-like Inflammation in the SKG Mouse Model of Spondyloarthropathy
Background/Purpose Psoriasis (Ps) is a common immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease and is a well- recognised extra-articular manifestation of the spondyloathopathies (SpA). Genetic studies implicate IL-23…Abstract Number: 2409 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of High Serum Interleukin-23 Levels With Porphyromonas Gingivalis Antibodies In Patients With Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased frequency of periodontal disease (PD) and antibodies to P. gingivalis (Pg), a major periodontal pathogen. Both…Abstract Number: 1650 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Route Of T Cell Priming Determines The Requirement For IL-23 In The Development Of Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis is a very heterogeneous disease and distinct molecular mechanisms may underlie the disease process. IL-23 is an important cytokine for the expansion…Abstract Number: 717 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Have Impaired Candida Albicans Specific Th17 Responses But Preserved Oral Candida Albicans Protective Immunity
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are susceptible to infections, even after controlling for the effects of medications. Recent data suggest an important role for the…Abstract Number: 530 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pattern Recognition Receptor Stimulated Cytokine Expression By Spondyloarthritis Patient Macrophages
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a group of chronic inflammatory conditions involving axial arthritis that includes ankylosing spondylitis (AS). GWAS studies in AS have implicated multiple…
