Supernatants from Activated Macrophages Contain Citrullinated Vimentin and Induce Extracellular Matrix Deposition from Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Studies have shown that activated macrophages secrete several factors that promote human fibroblast-like synoviocyte (HFLS) activation, resulting in an invasive phenotype, that contributes to…Abstract Number: 0596 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) Trigger an Enhanced Pro-inflammatory Response in Macrophage Subpopulations in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) Pathway
Background/Purpose: Activated neutrophils (PMN) form neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), fibers of DNA and associated proteins expelled in the extracellular space. Increased NET formation has been…Abstract Number: 1682 • ACR Convergence 2022
Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase Expression and Macrophage Polarization Following Stimulation with Citrullinated and Malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde Modified Fibrinogen
Background/Purpose: Post-translational modifications (PTM) of extracellular matrix proteins, such as fibrinogen, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Citrullination, a type of…Abstract Number: 0600 • ACR Convergence 2022
Correlates Between Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Factors and Synovial Cell Phenotypes: Data from the Accelerated Medicines Partnership
Background/Purpose: Prior studies have characterized the diverse cell types in the RA synovium through a multi-center consortium incorporating RNA-seq data. Due to the novelty of…Abstract Number: 1683 • ACR Convergence 2022
Malondialdehyde-Acetaldehyde (MAA) Modified Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) Increases Citrullination by Human Macrophages
Background/Purpose: Malondialdehyde and acetaldehyde, by-products of lipid peroxidation, react with free amino groups on proteins to form a stable post-translational modification (PTM), termed MAA. MAA…Abstract Number: 0609 • ACR Convergence 2022
Macrophage Response to MAA Modified Fibrinogen in the Presence of Peptidyl Arginine Deiminase Inhibitor
Background/Purpose: The formation of citrullinated (CIT) proteins is catalyzed by a calcium-dependent peptidyl arginine deiminase (PAD). In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), synovial macrophages are main contributors…Abstract Number: 1691 • ACR Convergence 2022
Pentagalloyl Glucose Inhibits MSU-Induced Inflammation via Transforming Growth Factor-β-Activated Kinase 1 (TAK1)
Background/Purpose: Gout disease flares occur when primed macrophages interact with and phagocytose monosodium urate crystals (MSU), activating IL-1β via the NLRP3 inflammasome. Abrogation of inflammasome…Abstract Number: 0614 • ACR Convergence 2022
Post-translationally Modified Fibrinogen Activated Macrophages Drive the Expression of Fibrotic Genes in Rheumatoid Arthritis Fibroblast-Like Synoviocytes
Background/Purpose: Cellular interactions between synovial macrophages and human fibroblast-like synoviocytes (HFLS) contribute to articular inflammation and fibrosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), leading to subsequent joint…Abstract Number: 1695 • ACR Convergence 2022
Dermatomyositis (DM) Macrophages Upregulate Genes Involved in the Remodeling of the Extracellular Matrix and Activate Keratinocytes in a Novel 3D Tissue Model of DM Skin Disease
Background/Purpose: With an incidence of 10 cases per million and lack of animal or ex vivo disease models, dermatomyositis (DM) remains a debilitating disease without…Abstract Number: 0630 • ACR Convergence 2022
Ferroptosis of CD163+ Tissue Infiltrating Macrophages in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most common complications of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with high morbidity and mortality. Despite a better understanding…Abstract Number: 1730 • ACR Convergence 2022
T Cell-Macrophage Interactions Play a Critical Role in a Mouse Model of Histidyl-tRNA Synthetase-Induced Myositis
Background/Purpose: Histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HRS) is a key target of antigen-specific B and T cell responses in the anti-synthetase syndrome. Despite a clear role for aberrant…Abstract Number: 0670 • ACR Convergence 2022
A Short Allelic Epitope Coded by HLA-DRB1*03:01 Activates a Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Cell Aberration Cascade
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease resulting from an interaction of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, environmental and immunoregulatory influences. It has been well…Abstract Number: 1981 • ACR Convergence 2022
Rho-GTPase Expression Recruits CD14+ Cells to Joints in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Predicts Good Response to JAK-inhibitor Treatment
Background/Purpose: While examining arthritis development in GGTaseI-deficient mice, we found that hyperactive Rho-GTPases regulate the thymic egress of CD4+ T cells to the peripheral lymphoid…Abstract Number: 0825 • ACR Convergence 2022
Predicting Outcomes in Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS): A Retrospective Study on 43 Consecutive Patients with MAS
Background/Purpose: Macrophage activation syndrome is a diagnosis along the spectrum of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) spectrum disorders. It is a rare, yet potentially fatal disease characterized…Abstract Number: 2164 • ACR Convergence 2022
Profibrotic Alveolar Macrophages as a Potential Biomarker in Systemic Sclerosis-associated Interstitial Lung Disease
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a leading cause of death in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Previously, profibrotic monocyte-derived alveolar macrophages (MoAM) expressing (SPP1,…
