Longitudinal Associations between Rheumatoid Factor and Ex Vivo Cytokine Production Reveal Novel Mechanistic Insights into Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Positive rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) identify a major rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subgroup, characterized by greater propensity to erosive joint damage…Abstract Number: 286 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum Amyloid a Aggravates Rheumatoid Arthritis By Activating NFAT5-Mediated Migration of Macrophages
Background/Purpose: Serum amyloid A (SAA) is an acute phase protein and its serum levels may increase up to 1000-fold over normal levels during inflammation, triggering…Abstract Number: 2427 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Exosomes Derived from T Lymphocytes Enhance Expression of CXCL10 Induced By IFN-γin Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts Via Pattern Recognition Receptor, RIG-I
Background/Purpose: Exosomes have been recognized to have a function in cell-to-cell communication by transporting various factors including proteins and nucleic acids. These factors impact cell…Abstract Number: 2258 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Role of NLRP12 on Disease Severity in Autoimmune Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors (NLRs) are cytoplasmic sensors that response to danger signals released by invading pathogen or self-damaged tissues. NLRP12 is a member…Abstract Number: 197 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synergy Between Hematopoietic and Radioresistant Stromal Cells Is Required for Autoimmune Manifestations of Dnase II Deficient Mice
Background/Purpose: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) dependent on Unc93b1 and cytosolic sensors dependent on STING detect microbial and endogenous nucleic acids to initiate inflammatory responses that resolve…
