Comparison of Immunological Biomarkers and Lung Histology in Patients with Elevated IL18 – Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis and Recurrent Macrophage Activation Syndrome (IL-18PAP-MAS) and Other Inflammatory Lung Diseases
Background/Purpose: Recently, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) and recurrent macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) have been reported in rare patients (pts) with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA)…Abstract Number: 0065 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Energy-dependent Hierarchy of Immune Functions in Human Monocytes
Background/Purpose: At sites of inflammation, monocytes carry out specific immunological functions while facing challenging bioenergetic restrictions. Here, we investigated the potential of human monocytes to…Abstract Number: 1951 • ACR Convergence 2020
Possible Involvement of Fractalkine/CX3CR1 Axis in Peripheral CD14++CD16+ Monocytes in Disease Development of Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Fractalkine (FKN) binds its receptor, CX3CR1 and accelerates chemotaxis of immune cells by inducing cell surface molecules and mediating adhesion of the cells to…Abstract Number: 0066 • ACR Convergence 2020
AMP Deaminase 2 Is Expressed on the Surface of Human Immune Cells as a Novel Regulator of Extracellular Adenosine Metabolism
Background/Purpose: Adenosine and its nucleotides represent crucial immunomodulators in the extracellular environment. ATP and ADP are released from stressed cells in states of inflammation, whereas…Abstract Number: 0068 • ACR Convergence 2020
Single Cell RNA-seq to Characterize Monocyte Subtypes in the Autoinflammatory Interferonopathy, SAVI and the Inflammasomopathy, NOMID
Background/Purpose: Monocytes are pivotal producers of key inflammatory cytokines that drive autoinflammatory diseases. In SAVI, constitutive STING activation causes chronic activation with increased type-I IFN…Abstract Number: 0294 • ACR Convergence 2020
Tired T-Cells and Monocytes with Malaise: Investigating the Links Between Cellular Iron Deficiency and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Iron is vital for many physiological processes and is found within respiratory complexes of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the key site of oxidative phosphorylation…Abstract Number: 0450 • ACR Convergence 2020
In Vitro Characterization of Inflammatory Arthritis Associated with Immune Check Point Inhibition
Background/Purpose: During treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) such as the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab, 2-4% of cancer patients develop inflammatory arthritis as an immune-related adverse…Abstract Number: 0496 • ACR Convergence 2020
A Role of Lipid-Peroxidation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus-Associated Cardiovascular Disease
Background/Purpose: In SLE, cardiovascular complications are a significant contributor to morbidity and death. Importantly, there is an increased prevalence of hypertension in SLE patients compared…Abstract Number: 0772 • ACR Convergence 2020
Modification of THP-1 Cells with Malondialdehyde-Acetaldehyde Increases Cellular Calcium Load Rendering Cells Susceptible to Citrullination of Self-Proteins
Background/Purpose: The post translational modification of self-proteins with malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) has been shown to alter protein function and antibodies to MAA are increased in both…
