Abstract Number: 1603 • ACR Convergence 2023
Infection-Associated Antiphospholipid Antibodies and Their Potential Role in Sepsis Outcomes
Background/Purpose: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired autoimmune thrombophilia characterized by circulating antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). While the association between aPL and infection has long been…Abstract Number: 079 • 2023 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
Dynamics of Neutrophil Activation in Repeated TLR-9-Induced Mouse Model of Macrophage Activation Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a life-threatening complication of rheumatic diseases including systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA). SJIA shows prominent neutrophil activation with expansion…Abstract Number: 130 • 2023 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
Levels of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps Correlate with Disease Activity in Pediatric Lupus
Background/Purpose: Pediatric lupus (pSLE) is a multisystemic autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production leading to organ damage. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are considered a potential…Abstract Number: 0491 • ACR Convergence 2022
Markers of Neutrophil Activation in Patients with ANCA-associated Vasculitis and Large-vessel Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils contribute to the pathogenesis of many autoimmune diseases. The purpose of the study was to assess two markers of neutrophil activation, calprotectin and…Abstract Number: 1545 • ACR Convergence 2022
Increased Neutrophil Activation in Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils are important in host defense. However, neutrophil activation has also been involved in the immunopathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases due to their many…Abstract Number: 0537 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps as a Biomarker to Predict Outcomes in Lupus Nephritis
Background/Purpose: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) have been implicated in Lupus Nephritis (LN) pathogenesis. SLE neutrophils release High Mobility Group Box-1 (HMGB1) protein, in turn, HMGB1…Abstract Number: 1684 • ACR Convergence 2022
A Potent Inhibitor of PAD4 Suppresses Histone Citrullination in Vitro and in Vivo
Background/Purpose: Peptidyl arginine deaminase 4 (PAD4) catalyzes the conversion of arginine residues to citrulline, a post-translational modification that has been implicated in the auto-immune response…Abstract Number: 0567 • ACR Convergence 2022
Gain-of-Function Mutations in Lyn Kinase Cause a Novel Autoinflammatory Disease with Small Vessel Vasculitis and Liver Fibrosis
Background/Purpose: Lyn kinase is a member of the Src family of tyrosine kinases that regulates innate and adaptive immune responses. Lyn C-terminal tail tyrosine residue,…Abstract Number: 1687 • ACR Convergence 2022
A Core Inflammation Program Conserved Across Human and Murine Neutrophils
Background/Purpose: Neutrophils mediate a range of homeostatic and inflammatory processes and display substantial phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. While animal models enable important mechanistic discoveries, differences…Abstract Number: 0593 • ACR Convergence 2022
A New Cytokine Interleukin 40 Is Elevated in the Serum of Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis and Associates with Autoantibodies and Neutrophil Activation
Background/Purpose: IL-40 is a newly described cytokine related to malignant transformation and immune system function. In our previous study, we showed that IL-40 is elevated…Abstract Number: 1688 • ACR Convergence 2022
Biomechanical Phenotype of Circulating Neutrophils Is Altered in ANCA Associated Vasculitis
Background/Purpose: Real Time-Deformability Cytometry (RT-DC) is a novel technique able to identify morpho-rheological characteristics of individual cells such as size, deformability, and elasticity using only…Abstract Number: 0596 • ACR Convergence 2022
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NET) Trigger an Enhanced Pro-inflammatory Response in Macrophage Subpopulations in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) Pathway
Background/Purpose: Activated neutrophils (PMN) form neutrophil extracellular traps (NET), fibers of DNA and associated proteins expelled in the extracellular space. Increased NET formation has been…Abstract Number: 1689 • ACR Convergence 2022
Oral Ginger Supplementation Counteracts NETosis in Autoimmune Mouse Models and in Healthy Humans
Background/Purpose: It has previously been reported that 6-gingerol, the most abundant phytochemical in ginger root, inhibits neutrophil phosphodiesterase activity and thereby counteracts neutrophil hyperactivity in…Abstract Number: 0611 • ACR Convergence 2022
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…
