Rab4A Controls mTOR Pathway Activation, Pro-inflammatory Lineage Development, and Disease Pathogenesis in Lupus-prone Mice
Background/Purpose: Mouse models of SLE have been indispensable tools for studying disease pathogenesis; however, each model only recapitulates limited aspects of lupus. SLE1.2.3. (TC) mice…Abstract Number: 2032 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Enhanced IFN a Production and STING Pathway in Monocytes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Is Suppressed by the Inhibition of mTOR Activation
Background/Purpose: Interferona (IFNa) is increased and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Overexpression of type I IFN regulated genes…Abstract Number: 1939 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sirolimus Treatment in Patients with Refractory Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Double-Arm, Open-Label, phase1/2 Trail
Background/Purpose: Patients with refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have T-cell dysfunction that associates the activation of mTOR that is inhibited by rapamycin, which has been developed…Abstract Number: 2932 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
mTOR Pathway Is Activated in Endothelial Cells from Patients with Takayasu Arteritis and Is Modulated By Serum IgG
Background/Purpose: Takayasu arteritis (TA) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are large-vessel vasculitis characterized by vascular remodelling involving endothelial cells (ECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells,…Abstract Number: 1746 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
mTOR Pathway Activation in Takayasu Arteriti
Background/Purpose: mTORC1 drives the proinflammatory expansion of T helper (TH) type 1, TH17 cells and controls fibroblast proliferation, typical features of Takayasu arteritis (TA) pathogenesis.…Abstract Number: 2722 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rapamycin Corrects GATA-3 Deficiency in Lupus Treg
Background/Purpose: As demonstrated by the negative correlation between Treg frequency or suppressive function and SLE disease activity index score, it is tempting to speculate that…Abstract Number: 1963 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Hierarchical Role of PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Cascade on: Tissue Inflammation, Organization and Angiogenesis in Autoimmune Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling proteins are pro-growth/pro-survival and thus likely to regulate inflammatory cascades in autoimmune diseases (1). The key pathologic outcome in psoriatic arthritis…Abstract Number: 1145 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Regulation Of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells By Prostaglandin E2
Background/Purpose: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) constitute a rare blood cell subset exquisitely attuned for production of large quantities of interferon-alpha (IFN-α), and these cells have…
