Elevated EPSTI1 Promote B Cells Hyperactivation through NF-Kb Signaling in Patients with Sjögren ’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a common systemic autoimmune disease characterized with aberrant B cells activation. B cells play a key role in the pathogenesis…Abstract Number: 2083 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Inflammation Induced By Four Types of Calcium Pyrophosphate Crystals Depends on Their Capacity to Stimulate NF-κb and MAPK Pathways
Background/Purpose: Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal-induced inflammation is mainly driven by interleukin (IL)-1β. IL-1β production involves a two-step process including the formation of pro-IL-1β through NF-κB…Abstract Number: 2436 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
MiR-146a Upregulates the TLR4/NF-κb Signaling Pathway to Promote Cytokine Expression and Synovial Fibroblast Proliferation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To investigate the role of miR-146a in the activation of toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4)/ nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and…Abstract Number: 2411 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Multiple Genetic Susceptibility Loci in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis Are Bound By a Set of Transcription Factors
Background/Purpose: Genome wide association studies (GWASs) and dense genotyping of immune-related disease regions have identified 17 loci associated with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) (p<5×10-8), 11…Abstract Number: 1207 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Novel Role of Liver X Receptor Alpha (LXRα) in the Attenuation of TLR Signalling: Implications in Congenital Heart Block
Background/Purpose: Anti-SSA/Ro associated congenital heart block provides a unique opportunity to examine the effector arm of immunity and define the molecular mechanisms that link maternal…Abstract Number: 871 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Antimalarials Regulate TLR7/8 Mediated Macrophage Activation Via Epigenetic Modification at the TNFα Promoter
Background/Purpose: Maternal anti-SSA autoantibodies contribute to the pathogenesis of congenital heart block by the formation of immune complexes (IC) comprised of Ro and ssRNA (hY3)…Abstract Number: 1159 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Exercise Suppresses Systemic Inflammation Via Inhibition Of NF-κB Activation In Monocytes
Background/Purpose: Inflammation is integral to joint damage and bone erosion in rheumatoid arthritis. We reported previously that physiologic levels of exercise are anti-inflammatory and suppress local…
