ERAP1 Deficiency Partially Relieves HLA-B27-Induced ER Stress and IL-23 Expression, but Does Not Restore Dendritic Cell Function in Experimental Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Preliminary results suggest that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) deficiency partially protects HLA-B27/human b2m transgenic (B27-Tg) rats from spondyloarthritis (SpA) as evidenced by…Abstract Number: 2699 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Spa-Associated HLA-B*27 Subtypes Accumulate More in Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) Compartment and in Association with β2-Microglobulin (β2m) Than Non-Associated HLA-B Alleles
Background/Purpose: Mechanisms underlying the striking association of SpA with the MHC class I molecule HLA-B27 remain poorly understood. SpA-like disease develops spontaneously in B*2705 transgenic…
