Phenotypic Validation of Humanized IgA1 and CD89 Transgenic Mice as a Model for IgA Nephropathy-Like Autoimmune Disease
Background/Purpose: The etiology of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) remains only partly understood, but the presence of IgA antibodies together with the myeloid IgA-receptor FcαRI/CD89 complexes in…Abstract Number: 1808 • ACR Convergence 2024
Not Only Type-I Interferon Regulated Genes Are Differentially Expressed in Circulating Monocytes from Active Lupus Nephritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Monocytes play an important role in organ damage, such as in Lupus Nephritis (LN). Although monocytes are typically considered inflammatory cells, evidence shows they…Abstract Number: 0058 • ACR Convergence 2024
Bradykinin Receptor B1 Blockade Suppresses Soluble CD13-Induced Differentiation of Osteoclasts from Monocytes
Background/Purpose: CD13 is an ectopeptidase expressed on myeloid cells, endothelial cells, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Soluble (s) CD13 is generated by matrix…Abstract Number: 1862 • ACR Convergence 2024
Folate Receptor β CAR-Tregs Induce Monocyte Apoptosis and Immune Polarization: Potential for Therapeutic Application in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects approximately 1.3 million adults in the United States, causing significant morbidity and economic burden. Current treatments reduce inflammation and slow…Abstract Number: 0073 • ACR Convergence 2024
Self or Bacteria-reactive Th17 Expand from Conventional and Regulatory T Cells in Parabacteroides Goldsteinii Gnotobiotic Arthritic SKG Mice, in Context of Interferon-driven Synovial Inflammatory Macrophages and Reduced Bacterial Immune Regulation
Background/Purpose: In ankylosing spondylitis, spondyloarthritis (SpA) is often associated with gut inflammation. The strong genetic association with HLA-B27 and expanded CD8 TCR public clonotypes implicate…Abstract Number: 2247 • ACR Convergence 2024
Pro-inflammatory Monocytes and CD11c Expression in ACPA Positive Individuals with Arthralgia and Their Associations with Subclinical Synovitis Preceding the Onset of Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies, e.g., against citrullinated proteins (ACPA), increase the risk of clinical arthritis and can be detected years before rheumatoid arthritis (RA) onset. EULAR's definition…Abstract Number: 0890 • ACR Convergence 2024
Pervasive Inflammation Poisons Hematopoiesis and Drives Clonal Dominance in VEXAS Syndrome
Background/Purpose: VEXAS syndrome is an adult-onset, X-linked, life-threatening, autoinflammatory and hematological disease caused by somatic mutation in UBA1 gene. Our study aims at uncovering pathophysiology…Abstract Number: 2290 • ACR Convergence 2024
Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Suppress Sjogren’s Syndrome Pathology
Background/Purpose: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to functional loss and gradually causing dry mouth…Abstract Number: 0925 • ACR Convergence 2024
Macrophages Produce Bone Anabolic Factors in Settings of Inflammation-Induced Bone Formation
Background/Purpose: Understanding the pathogenesis of inflammation-induced pathologic bone formation remains a significant challenge in spondyloarthritis patients. We thought to uncover the pivotal events driving the…Abstract Number: 2327 • ACR Convergence 2024
Differential Quantitative Profile of Myeloid Derived Suppressor Cells and Monocyte Subsets Relate to Clinical Phenotype and Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: The innate immune system not only participates in PsA pathogenesis but may also counteract with immunomodulatory elements. Proinflammatory and repairing roles according to monocyte…Abstract Number: 0944 • ACR Convergence 2024
Targeting Defective Macrophages to Restore Resolution of Inflammation in Rheumatoid Arthritis -Perspectives for an Autologous Secretome Therapy
Background/Purpose: Impaired macrophage efferocytosis, a key hallmark of failed inflammation resolution, is reported in many immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, including in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). Hence the…
