Safety and Efficacy Of Peg-IFNa/Ribavirin/Protease Inhibitor Combination In 34 Patients With HCV-Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: The standard of care treatment of patients presenting a HCV-mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) vasculitis includes Peg-IFNaplus Ribavirin, w/wo Rituximab. Thirty to 40% of patients are…Abstract Number: 1731 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Treatment Of Innate Immune Arthritis With a Toll-Like Receptor 7 Agonist Requires Type I Interferon
Background/Purpose: We previously demonstrated that repeated administration of the low molecular weight Toll-like receptor (TLR) 7 agonist (1V136) substantially reduces arthritic inflammation in mice. Here…Abstract Number: 1613 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Malarial Drugs (hydroxychloroquine and quinacrine) Decrease The Production Of Interferon-Alfa Initiated By TLR-9 Agonist
Background/Purpose: Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR-9) plays an important role in initiating innate immunity. The recognition of self DNA fragments by TLR-9 may results in the…Abstract Number: 1614 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hydroxychloroquine Reverse The Elevation Of Interferon-Alfa Initiated By TLR-9 Agonist Which Irresponsive To Glucocorticoid
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by chronic stimulation of the innate immune system by endogenous nucleic acids through toll-like receptors (TLRs) pathway, which…Abstract Number: 1615 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Type I Interferons As a Serum Biomarker Of Subclinical Atherosclerosis In Pediatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder with a marked increase in cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality due to premature atherosclerosis, distinct…Abstract Number: 1616 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interferon Regulatory Factors 3 and 5 As Key Elements Of The Interferon Signature On Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells From Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background/Purpose: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are considered the main source of type-I interferon (IFN-I). The interferon signature has been widely associated to systemic lupus erythematosus…Abstract Number: 1572 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High Type I Interferon In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Plasma Predicts Future Renal Disease
Background/Purpose: Type I interferon (IFN-I) is elevated in many patients with SLE and is associated with more severe disease. However, the relationship between elevated levels…Abstract Number: 1145 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Regulation Of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells By Prostaglandin E2
Background/Purpose: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) constitute a rare blood cell subset exquisitely attuned for production of large quantities of interferon-alpha (IFN-α), and these cells have…Abstract Number: 645 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Transcript Profiling Of Blood and Kidney Biopsies From Chinese Patients With Lupus Nephritis Reveals Concordant Activation Of Type I IFN Signaling In The Blood and Kidney, Reduced B Cell Presence In The Blood, and Increased Macrophages In The Kidney
Background/Purpose: Up-regulated expression of type I interferon-regulated genes has consistently been observed within the peripheral blood in a large proportion of patients with active systemic…Abstract Number: 167 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of Functional Polymorphisms In IRF2 With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In a Japanese Population
Background/Purpose: Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) families are transcription factors involved in type I interferon (IFN) pathway. Recent genetic studies identified association of IRF family genes,…
