Role of Trained Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Erdheim-Chester Disease
Background/Purpose: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by infiltration of bone and other tissues by foamy macrophages. These cells exhibit activating mutations…Abstract Number: 27 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Altered Inflammatory Response of Macrophages in the Fosl-2 Transgenic Mouse Model of Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Fos-like 2 (Fosl-2) is a transcription factor belonging to the Fos family of proteins which is part of the AP-1 transcription complex. The Fosl-2…Abstract Number: 75 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Microglia-Specific Transcriptional Signatures Correlate with Behavioral Deficits in ‘Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus’
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune syndrome affecting multiple organs, including the brain. More than 50% of patients experience neuropsychiatric symptoms of…Abstract Number: 76 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Effect of Ifnα and Costimulatory Blockade on Brain Infiltration in a Model of ‘Neuropsychiatric Symptoms of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus’
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease that affects many end organs including the brain. Despite a prevalence of over 50% in…Abstract Number: 692 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Correlation of Urinary Soluble CD163 Levels with Clinicopathological Features in Lupus Nephritis: Its Role as a Potential Biomarker
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN), is seen in 30-50% patients with SLE and 5-10% patients progress to end-stage renal disease. The clinical disease activity indices do…Abstract Number: 1918 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Urine CD163 Significantly Discriminates Active Lupus Nephritis and Strongly Correlates with Proliferative Glomerulonephritis
Background/Purpose: CD163 is a marker for alternatively activated M2 macrophages, which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN). The potential of urine…Abstract Number: 1987 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
CCN3 Regulates Macrophage Function in MSU-induced Inflammation
Background/Purpose: Gout is the most common metabolic disease in which monosodium urate (MSU) crystals form and deposit in the joints and soft tissues of patients.…Abstract Number: 2806 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Single Cell RNA-sequencing Reveals Distinct Macrophage Subsets in the Joint with Differing Ontogenies During Steady-state and Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Macrophages in the synovial lining of the joint are critical players in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, their heterogeneity remains poorly characterized.Methods:…Abstract Number: 125 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Monocyte Transcriptome Delineates SSc Patients with Functionally Distinct Patterns of Gene Dysregulation That Persist through Differentiation
Background/Purpose: The etiology and pathogenesis of SSc are poorly understood; however, an increasing body of evidence supports an early inflammatory phase that precedes, and may…Abstract Number: 2965 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Targeting Glucose Metabolism in the Murine Air Pouch Model of Acute Gouty Inflammation
Background/Purpose: Emerging evidence indicates that macrophage activation is critically supported by glucose metabolic shifts. Although macrophages are key contributors to inflammation, little is known about…Abstract Number: 132 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Therapeutic Peptides Which Target CD206 Inhibit Macrophage Dependent Fibroblast Activation in Scleroderma
Background/Purpose: Alternatively activated macrophages expressing CD206 are believed to promote fibrosis in a range of disorders including systemic sclerosis (SSc). Novel therapeutic peptides (RP) which…Abstract Number: 2981 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mitochondrial Extrusion and Autoimmunity in Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Background/Purpose: We recently made the fundamental observation that mitochondrial extrusion is instrumental in mediating inflammation, autoimmunity and organ damage in lupus. Mitochondrial stress and mitochondrial…Abstract Number: 849 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Constructing a Macrophage Infiltration Timeline in a Murine Model of Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Macrophage infiltration in synovium (SM) and intraarticular fat pads (FP) is common in Osteoarthritis (OA), and can contribute to catabolic cytokine and protease production…Abstract Number: 1007 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Macrophage Mediators of Autoimmune Valvular Carditis and Fibrosis
Background/Purpose: K/B.g7 TCR transgenic mice spontaneously develop both autoimmune arthritis and valvular carditis. We utilize this model to define mediators of rheumatic disease-associated cardiovascular inflammation…Abstract Number: 1008 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Presence of a Specific Defect in M2 Polarization of Blood Monocytes from Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Associated with Increased microRNA-155
Background/Purpose: Macrophages contribute in situ to the RA pathogenesis. Two distinct states of polarization for macrophages have been recognized: the classically activated macrophage phenotype (M1),…
