Proteomics Reveals Dysregulated Molecular Mechanisms of Cell Death in Neutrophils in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Favoring apoptosis of neutrophils infiltrating the joints of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and perpetuating inflammation has recently been discussed as an alternative…Abstract Number: 1694 • ACR Convergence 2022
Skin Exposure to UV Light Triggers Podocyte and Distal Tubular Injury, in the Presence of CD177+ Neutrophil Cell Cluster
Background/Purpose: Sensitivity to ultraviolet (UV) light affects ~ 80% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. UV light exposure of lupus skin leads to local and…Abstract Number: 0687 • ACR Convergence 2022
DNA- and NET-Binding Beta-2 Glycoprotein I in a Large Cohort of Antiphospholipid Antibody-Positive Patients
Background/Purpose: Beta-2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is an abundant plasma protein and a critically important autoantigen in APS. While β2GPI has been reported to have antioxidant,…Abstract Number: 1714 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Circadian Clock Gene Bmal1 Negatively Regulates Autoantibody Production in SLE
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs including kidney and skin. While its etiology and pathogenesis are still…Abstract Number: 0688 • ACR Convergence 2022
Antibodies of the IgA Isotype Target Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in APS
Background/Purpose: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are prothrombotic and proinflammatory webs of nuclear DNA, histones, and microbicidal proteins extruded by neutrophils into the extracellular space in…Abstract Number: 1721 • ACR Convergence 2022
Protective Effects of the Natural Antioxidant Taxifolin in Models of Lupus and Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Taxifolin, also known as dihydroquercetin, is a bioactive flavonoid commonly found in apples, onions, French maritime bark, and milk thistle. Given its potent anti-inflammatory…Abstract Number: 0690 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Physiological Ketone Body Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Potently Neutralizes APS-Associated NETosis
Background/Purpose: Malleable metabolic pathways guide both productive and pathological neutrophil functions, including neutrophil extracellular trap release (NETosis). NETosis plays an important role in APS pathophysiology.…Abstract Number: 2021 • ACR Convergence 2022
Early Histopathological Changes of the Salivary Glands Associated with the Development of Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting exocrine glands including salivary and lacrimal glands that leads to dry eyes and mouth…Abstract Number: 0692 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Interplay Between Lipid Peroxidation and Neutrophil Extracellular Trap (NET) Formation in APS Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: Lipid peroxidation is the result of disrupted redox homeostasis and functions as a key component in various cell death programs. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET)…Abstract Number: 2266 • ACR Convergence 2022
Platelet-selectin Prime Lupus Neutrophils to Produce Mitochondrial ROS and Participate in SLE Pathogenesis
Background/Purpose: In patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), circulating platelets have an activated phenotype characterized by the expression of P-selectin (CD62P). We have shown…Abstract Number: 0693 • ACR Convergence 2022
Low Neutrophil Ectonucleotidase Activity Drives Neutrophil-Platelet Aggregation and Platelet Activation in Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)
Background/Purpose: By converting extracellular ATP into homeostatic adenosine, the ectonucleotidases CD39 (ATP to AMP) and CD73 (AMP to adenosine) dictate extracellular purinergic gradients and as…Abstract Number: 2269 • ACR Convergence 2022
Anti-NET Antibodies in Antiphospholipid Antibody-positive Patients: Results from the Antiphospholipid Syndrome Alliance for Clinical Trials and InternatiOnal Networking (APS ACTION) Clinical Database and Repository (“Registry”)
Background/Purpose: The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) by hyperactive neutrophils plays a role in the thromboinflammatory phenotype of APS. Previous work has demonstrated that…Abstract Number: 0877 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neutrophils Extracellular Traps Formation May Serve as a Biomarker for Disease Activity in Oligoarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in children, causing significant morbidity. Despite the dramatic improvement in treatment, many patients…Abstract Number: 2271 • ACR Convergence 2022
Circulating Calprotectin: A Potential New Biomarker for “Non-Criteria” Clinical Manifestations of Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Background/Purpose: While thrombosis and pregnancy loss are the best-known features of APS, many patients also exhibit "non-criteria" manifestations such as thrombocytopenia and heart valve damage.…Abstract Number: 0047 • ACR Convergence 2021
A Role for Neutrophils in Disease Onset and Severity of Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of inflammatory diseases that includes axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). AxSpA patients have irregular neutrophil responses, as…
