Hypomethylation of STAT1 and HLA-DRB1 in CD8+ T Cells Is Associated with Type-I Interferon-Dependent HLA-DRB1 Overexpression and Activation of Autologous CD4+ T Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by epigenetic dysregulation, and increased autoantibody and type-I interferon (IFN) production. The goal of this…Abstract Number: 1093 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serologic Evidence Linking Epstein Barr Virus Reactivation, Heightened Interferon Pathway Activation and Increased Disease Activity in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: SLE is a clinically heterogeneous disease oftentimes characterized by a waxing and waning course. Mechanisms of SLE flare remain elusive. This study examined relationships…Abstract Number: 1096 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Unexpected Association between Health-Related Quality of Life and the Blood Interferon Modular Transcriptional Signatures in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: SLE has important effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and is not well correlated to disease activity. As most SLE patients in remission…Abstract Number: 1111 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
CBS004, a Novel Monoclonal Antibody Against Bdca-2 Inhibits TLR-Induced Activation of Human pDC in Vitro and In Vivo. a Novel Therapeutic Target for Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) through their ability to infiltrate the skin and secrete…Abstract Number: 1893 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD), and Proposed Dosing of Oral Janus Kinase (JAK)1 and JAK2 Inhibitor Baricitinib in Patients with IFN-Mediated Autoinflammatory Diseases (AIDs)
Background/Purpose: JAK inhibitors reduce IFN-signaling ex vivo. We evaluated the PK and PD of the oral JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor, baricitinib, from data collected in…Abstract Number: 2336 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Expression of Myxovirus-Resistance Protein a: A Possible Marker of Muscular Disease Activity in Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a chronic autoimmune myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and typical skin rashes. Type I interferon (IFN) gene expression in…Abstract Number: 2568 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prophylactic and Therapeutic Administration of a JAK1-Selective Inhibitor Blocks and Reverses Nephritis and Sialadenitis in NZB/W-F1 Mice
Background/Purpose: Signaling of most cytokine receptors occurs through the JAK-STAT pathway. This is true of cytokines linked to the etiology of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)…Abstract Number: 2589 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
