Among Persons Assayed with Lower Serum Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1β) Levels, Serum Androstenedione (Δ4A) and Testosterone (T) Were Significantly Lower in a Community-Based Cohort of Rheumatoid Arthritis Multi-Years before Clinical Onset (Pre-RA) Than in Non-RA Matched Control (CN) Subjects
Background/Purpose: Dysregulations in androgenic-anabolic (A-A) steroids and cytokines are recognized in RA and pre-RA subjects (Rheum Dis Clin N Am 2005; 31: 131-60). However, deviations…Abstract Number: 1974 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Sex Steroids, Interleukin-1, and Interleukin-10 Inhibit interferon–gamma (IFN-γ) Induced B Cell Activating Factor of the Tumor Necrosis Factor Family (BAFF) in Human Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose B cell activating factor of the tumor necrosis factor family (BAFF) is a cytokine important for the stimulation and survival of autoreactive B cells…Abstract Number: 998 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
β2 Adrenoceptor Signal Is Augmented in B Cells in the Course of Arthritis to Increase IL-10
Background/Purpose Splenic B cells from collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice react to a β2-adrenoceptor (AR) stimulus with increased IL-10 production and adoptive transfer of these cells…Abstract Number: 1825 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Osteoclast Progenitors, Fibroblast-Like Cells and Draining Lymph Node Cells Induce Catecholaminergic-To-Cholinergic Transition Of Sympathetic Nerve Fibers Under Healthy Conditions But Not In Highly Inflamed Arthritic Tissue
Background/Purpose: Sympathetic nerve fibers innervate bone and tissue adjacent to joints. They play an important role in bone and tissue homeostasis. Under certain conditions, sympathetic…Abstract Number: 1341 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Significantly Less Glucocorticoids and Better Patient-Reported Outcomes In Women With Early Inflammatory Arthritis Using Oral Contraceptives Compared To Never Users
Background/Purpose: Data on the effects of oral contraceptives (OC) on the course of inflammatory arthritis (IA) are controversial. However, a recent analysis of data from…Abstract Number: 1292 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Spatial Energy Expenditure Configuration and Possible Applications In An Experimental Model Of Arthritis
Background/Purpose: An autoimmune response with differentiation and proliferation of immune cells and the subsequent tissue-directed inflammatory process in the symptomatic phase of the disease are…
