A Graph-Theoretic-Approach Applied to Modular-Repertoire-Analysis Identifies Shared Gradual Whole Blood Interferon Signatures in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome Patients and Reveals New Interferon-Related Modules in Disease Progression
Background/Purpose: There is significant clinical and molecular heterogeneity among patients suffering from systemic autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren’s Syndrome…Abstract Number: 83 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Whole Blood Stimulations Identify Elevated T Cell Cytokines and Altered Granulocyte/Dendritic Cell Signaling in SLE Patients with Variable Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by loss of immune tolerance to self-antigens and periods of waxing and waning disease. The clinical aspects of…Abstract Number: 899 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neutrophil Gene Signature and Low Density Granulocyte Subsets Associate with Coronary Plaque Burden and Vascular Inflammation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) increases a young woman’s risk of myocardial infarction by up to 50-fold. This marked increase in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk…Abstract Number: 2641 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Immune Complex-Driven Neutrophil Activation in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus – Novel Biomarkers of Disease Activity and Severity
Background/Purpose: Neutrophil activation is linked to inflammation and autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) where nucleic acid-containing immune complexes (ICs) drive inflammation through engagement…Abstract Number: 1825 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
the Non-Coding Genome and the Genetics of Systemic Lupus
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi-system, complex disease believed to be triggered by gene-environment interactions. While we have made considerable progress in investigation…Abstract Number: 1831 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Novel Graph Theoretic Approach Applied to Modular Repertoire Analysis Identifies a Dual Molecular Progression in Adult SLE Patients, with Distinct Interferon and Neutrophil Transcription Patterns
Background/Purpose: Gene expression studies support a pivotal role for type I interferon (IFN) in SLE. Previous work using a modular repertoire analysis based on co-clustered…Abstract Number: 2853 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Neutrophilia in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus As a Potential Indicator of Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Neutrophilia and elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio are being increasingly recognized as reliable markers of inflammation (and usually negative prognostic outcome) in scenarios as diverse as…Abstract Number: 2073 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Mitochondrial ROS Is a Novel Regulator of Sting-Mediated Type I IFN Production By Governing Extrusion of Oxidized Mitochondrial DNA upon Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Formation.
Background/Purpose: Neutrophil extracellular trap generation (NETosis) is a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent cell death pathway implicated in autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).…Abstract Number: 1619 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interferon Dysregulation in an Academic SLE Cohort Is Associated with Distinct Signaling Differences in Blood Neutrophils Versus PBMCs
Background/Purpose Interferons (IFNs) have long been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the specific consequences of the IFN activity have not…Abstract Number: 1877 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Neutrophil Signature Comprised Of Low Density Granulocyte (LDG)-Enriched Genes Is Associated With Organ-Specific Disease Activity In Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: The neutrophil gene signature (NGS) has recently gained interest due to new understanding of the role of neutrophils and NETosis in SLE pathogenesis. We…Abstract Number: 1626 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Genetic Alterations In Abnormal Neutrophils Isolated From Human Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
Background/Purpose: Human SLE patients have an abnormal population of neutrophils called low density granulocytes (LDGs). LDGs express the surface markers of mature neutrophils, yet their…Abstract Number: 882 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of a Neutrophil Gene Signature Comprised Of Low Density Granulocyte (LDG)-Enriched Genes With Both Future Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity and Poor Longterm Outcomes
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils and neutrophil death (NETosis) have a role in the pathogenesis of SLE. A neutrophil gene signature (NGS) exists in SLE, although its association…
