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: 0045 • ACR Convergence 2022
Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient-derived Anti-citrullinated Protein Antibodies (ACPAs) Ameliorate Joint Inflammation in Early Collagen-antibody Induced Arthritis (CAIA)
Background/Purpose: ACPAs are present in two-thirds of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and are associated with higher risks for severe bone erosions. The pathogenic role…Abstract Number: 1156 • ACR Convergence 2022
Serum Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) Is Increased in Patients with Active Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) and Persists Despite Anti-TNF Treatment
Background/Purpose: There is increasing evidence of the pathogenetic role of monocytes and neutrophils in AS, while the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio correlates with disease activity (1). Granulocyte-Monocyte…Abstract Number: 0049 • ACR Convergence 2022
IL-18 Receptor-α Signaling Pathway Contributes to Autoantibody-induced Arthritis via Neutrophil Recruitment
Background/Purpose: We have previously reported that IL-18 levels in the lungs, serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were increased in patients with idiopathic pulmonary lung…Abstract Number: 1321 • ACR Convergence 2022
Systemic Inflammatory-based Scores and Bone Turnover Ratio as Novel Diagnostic Tools for Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) of the Sternocostoclavicular Region in Adults
Background/Purpose: Chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) in adults exhibits as sterile osteitis and consequent disrupted bone metabolism favoring bone formation of the sternocostoclavicular region (SCCH). Diagnosis…Abstract Number: 0053 • ACR Convergence 2022
Natural Microbial Exposure Increases Susceptibility of C57BL/6 Mice to Collagen-induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Mice exposed to natural microbes (NME) develop an appropriately mature immune system, one that resembles that of a non-neonatal human.1,2 Collagen induced arthritis is…Abstract Number: 1434 • ACR Convergence 2022
Retrospective Analysis of Tocilizumab-induced Neutropenia in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Neutropenia has been reported as one of the most frequent adverse events of tocilizumab. We conducted a retrospective cohort study to determine the risks…Abstract Number: 0151 • ACR Convergence 2022
Novel Innate Immunity Predictors of Infections in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies Patients: A Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Risk factors associated with the development of infections in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) have not been fully addressed, particularly those related to…Abstract Number: 1476 • ACR Convergence 2022
Anti-Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) Antibodies and Their Association with Disease Activity and Clinical Phenotypes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Enhanced netosis has been acknowledged as pathogenic in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The presence of antibodies against neutrophil extracellular traps (anti-NETs) in patients with…Abstract Number: 0356 • ACR Convergence 2021
The Role of Neutrophils in the Clinical Severity of Lupus Nephritis Patients with Concurrent Skin Disease
Background/Purpose: Skin disease affects >80% of lupus patients and has been linked to lupus nephritis (LN) flares. We recently found that skin inflammation caused by…
