Genetic Polymorphism of IL-1RN Encoding the IL-1 Receptor Antagonist Predicts Radiographic Severity of Symptomatic Knee OA
Background/Purpose: Growing numbers of studies show increased expression in Osteoarthritis (OA) of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and TNFα, in joint tissues and peripheral blood…Abstract Number: 1093 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
DNA Methylation Defines Joint Specific Differences in Synovial Fibroblasts from OA and RA Patients
Background/Purpose: Recent studies revealed epigenetic changes in DNA methylation associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial fibroblasts (SF). In addition, we have shown that SF exhibit…Abstract Number: 2372 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of Oxytocin on Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: The relationship between oxytocine (OT) and osteoarthritis (OA) is poorly studied and remains unknown. However the subchondral bone is considered as a major player in…Abstract Number: 1099 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Synovial Exosomes Induce Osteoclast Differentiation in Rheumatoid arthritis
Background/Purpose: Exosomes are small membrane vesicles (40-150 nm) of endocytic origin secreted by many types of cells and engage in cell-to-cell communication by transferring proteins,…Abstract Number: 3048 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Pain Severity As a Mediator of the Effect of Depressive Symptoms on Physical Performance in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Depression is a significant comorbidity of knee osteoarthritis (OA) that occurs in approximately 20% of OA patients. Depressive symptoms are associated with both subsequent…Abstract Number: 1154 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
