A Novel TNFAIP3 Mutation Associated with Large Vessel Vasculitis: Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum of A20 Haploinsufficiency
Background/Purpose: Loss-of-function pathogenic variants in TNFAIP3 lead to haploinsufficiency of A20 (HA20), a complex immune dysregulation disorder that can mimic Behcet’s disease, IBD, periodic fever…Abstract Number: 2011 • ACR Convergence 2025
A Phase 1 placebo controlled, single (SAD) and multiple dose escalation (MAD) safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) study of a novel colchicine analogue ABP-745 in healthy volunteers (HV)
Background/Purpose: ABP-745 is a novel colchicine analogue in development as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of acute gout and other chronic inflammatory conditions. In…Abstract Number: 1812 • ACR Convergence 2025
Inflammasome and UPR activation in monocytes of HLA B27 positive children with Enthesitis related arthritis category of JIA
Background/Purpose: Enthesitis related arthritis (ERA) is a chronic immune-inflammatory disease with unknown etiology. HLA-B27 is the strongest risk factor predisposing to ERA like Spondyloarthritis (SpA).…Abstract Number: 1651 • ACR Convergence 2025
Compound Heterozygosity for the Ile692del and Val726Ala Pathogenic MEFV Variants and Elevated IL-18 (CHIVE-18 syndrome) Is Distinct from Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and Includes a Pronounced Response to Interferon Stimulation in Myeloid Cell Populations
Background/Purpose: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease associated with biallelic pathogenic variants in the MEFV gene encoding the myeloid-restricted inflammasome sensor pyrin. The…Abstract Number: 1132 • ACR Convergence 2025
DDX3X Regulates Gout Inflammation via NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Macrophage Pyroptosis Crosstalk
Background/Purpose: Pyroptosis is closely linked to acute flare-ups and spontaneous remission of gout. However, the specific mechanisms by which pyroptosis regulates gout inflammation remain unclear.…Abstract Number: 1008 • ACR Convergence 2025
Nationwide Historical Cohort Study on the Primary Prophylactic Effects of Colchicine in Cardiovascular Events
Background/Purpose: While two trials with colchicine have demonstrated its efficacy in reducing the risk of cardiovascular events, a more recent study showed no significant impact…Abstract Number: 0867 • ACR Convergence 2025
NLRP3 Inflammasome Impairs Fracture Repair in Rheumatoid Arthritis through RhoA/Rac1-IL1β Axis-Mediated Suppression of Osteoblast Differentiation
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often characterized by bone loss and fragility fractures and is a frequent comorbidity. The NLRP3 inflammasome, a key mediator of…Abstract Number: 0301 • ACR Convergence 2025
Novel HMGCS1 Deficiency Expands Proinflammatory Monocytes and Cytotoxic Populations with Increased Cytokine Release
Background/Purpose: The mevalonate (MVK) pathway synthesizes isoprenoids that mediate post-translational protein modifications via prenylation. Deficient protein prenylation due to decreased mevalonate kinase (MK) activity leads…Abstract Number: 0134 • ACR Convergence 2025
Neutrophil Gasdermin D Pores as Potential Therapeutic Targets in APS-Associated Thromboinflammation
Background/Purpose: Emerging evidence implicates neutrophil activation and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation (i.e., NETosis) in amplifying APS-associated thromboinflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD), a substrate of inflammatory…Abstract Number: 0934 • ACR Convergence 2024
Screening NLRP3 Drug Candidates in Clinical Development:Lessons from Existing and Emerging Technologies
Background/Purpose: NLRP3 is emerging as an attractive upstream target of the pathway to down-modulate rather than to completely neutralize IL-1ß levels in both acute and…Abstract Number: 1108 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Needed Daily Dose of Colchicine in Patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever May Be Higher in Women, a Study on Behalf of the JIR Cohort
Background/Purpose: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is the most common autoinflammatory monogenic disease worldwide, and it is associated with mutations in MEFV gene. Colchicine is the…Abstract Number: 2046 • ACR Convergence 2024
