Increased Frequencies of IL-23R Positive T Cells and IL-22 and IL-17 Producing MAIT Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis: Preliminary Results.
Background/Purpose: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the prototypic and most common form of spondyloarthritis (SpA). It was recently suggested that IL-23 could play a pivotal role…Abstract Number: 2819 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rorc Antagonism Inhibits IL-23-Dependent Aberrant Bone Formation in Vivo
Background/Purpose: RORγt is a nuclear hormone receptor expressed in Th17 cells and distinct subsets of lymphoid cells, including innate lymphoid cells (ILC), and γδ T-cells.…Abstract Number: 2822 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Increased Peripheral Blood CCR6+/IL-23R+ Gamma Delta T Cells Are Associated with High Disease Activity in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: The IL-23 axis and Th17 type immunity has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and an enrichment of gamma delta (gd)…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…
