Development of Functional Assays to Pre-qualify Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment
Background/Purpose: Sero-positive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that without effective treatment, leads to joint damage and disability. Not all patients respond to…Abstract Number: 0969 • ACR Convergence 2020
Investigating Murine Joint-Draining Lymphatics: Lineage Tracing and Single Cell RNA Sequencing Reveal Evidence That Popliteal Lymphatic Muscle Cells and Their Progenitors Represent Distinct Cell Types Divergent from Striated and Vascular Muscle Cells
Background/Purpose: Previous studies demonstrated that tumor necrosis factor transgenic (TNF-Tg) mice with inflammatory arthritis have damaged lymphatic muscle cells (LMCs) and eventual loss of popliteal…Abstract Number: 1255 • ACR Convergence 2020
Sjӧgren’s Syndrome Minor Salivary Gland Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Derived Deploy Intact Immune Plasticity and Display Myofibroblast-Like Properties

Human Gingiva-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Are Therapeutic in Lupus Nephritis Through Targeting of CD39-CD73 Signaling Pathway
Background/Purpose: Cell specific and cytokine targeted therapeutics have underperformed in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in spite of numerous targets examined and clinical trials conducted. Mesenchymal…Abstract Number: 1010 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
IL-17A Induces Distinct Functional Differences Between Two Novel Mesenchymal Stem Cell Populations Identified at the Human Enthesis
Background/Purpose: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is associated with entheseal inflammation and new bone formation. Resident populations of lymphocytes have been identified at the enthesis that on…Abstract Number: 1971 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
CD39 Produced from Human Gingiva-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Regulates the Balance of Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts Through Wnt / β-catenin Pathway in Osteoporosis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis led to severe bone-related diseases and increased mortality and health care costs. Existing treatments failed to reduce the risk of fractures in patients,…Abstract Number: 1995 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Gingival-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Alleviate Cartilage Damage in Collagen-Induced Arthritis via Suppressing Activities of Inflamed Synovial Fibroblast
Background/Purpose: Dysfunction of immunology and inflammatory responses is crucial in initiating and promoting bone/cartilage destruction in rheumatic arthritis (RA). Inflamed synovial fibroblast cells (ISFs) are…Abstract Number: 49 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 3 Modulates Mesenchymal Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation through Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor Regulation
Background/Purpose: Mesenchymal stem cells are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into tissue-specific lineages, such as osteocytes and chondrocytes. Their multipotency has made them an…Abstract Number: 62 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Convergence of Joint Repair and Pain Pathways Via Nerve Growth Factor and p75 Expressing Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Established Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Nerve growth factor (NGF) is a key regulator of pain and anti-NGF therapy reduces osteoarthritis (OA) associated pain. However, anti-NGF therapy is associated with…Abstract Number: 1703 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalation, Multi-Center Study of a Single Intravenous Infusion of Allogeneic Mesenchymal Precursor Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Incomplete Response to at Least One Tnfα Inhibitor
Background/Purpose: Allogeneic STRO-3 immunoselected mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) derived from bone marrow of healthy donors are a potent, homogeneous cell population which can be activated…Abstract Number: 1935 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Influence of Adipokines on the Differentiation of Spongiosa-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells from Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis predominantly affects elderly people and is characterized by bone loss, increased fracture risk and reduced regeneration ability. An inverse relationship between bone marrow…Abstract Number: 2134 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Replaces Cartilage in Non-Weight Bearing Regions of Immobilized Knees
