Glucocorticoids Affect Bone Mass and Strength by Inhibiting Osteoprogenitor Cell Maturation
Background/Purpose: Glucocorticoid (GC) induced osteoporosis remains a significant health issue. While GCs are known to reduce bone formation and bone mass, patients treated with GCs…Abstract Number: 0447 • ACR Convergence 2021
Bone Anabolic Effects of a Novel Orally-Available Small Molecule SIK2/SIK3 Inhibitor
Background/Purpose: Orally-available bone anabolic agents represent a major unmet medical need for patients with osteoporosis. Widespread use of parathyroid hormone (PTH)-based osteo-anabolic therapies is limited…Abstract Number: 0117 • ACR Convergence 2020
Development of an In Vitro Trabecular Human Bone Model to Recapitulate Features of Glucocorticoid-induced Osteoporosis
Background/Purpose: The bone matrix consists of inorganic and organic components and a variety of specialized cells such as osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts. The bone-forming osteoblasts…Abstract Number: 0966 • ACR Convergence 2020
Decoupling Inflammation and Bone Loss in Rheumatoid Arthritis via Schnurri-3
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that leads to local and systemic bone loss. TNF is a key mediator of bone loss,…Abstract Number: 1528 • ACR Convergence 2020
Filgotinib Inhibits Monocyte Differentiation and Pro Inflammatoly Cytokine Production in Osteoblasts
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation and joint destruction. Filgotinib is a selective small molecule inhibitor of JAK 1…Abstract Number: 1943 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
The Emerging Regulatory Function of microRNA146a in Bone Biology and Osteoporosis
Background/Purpose: Micro RNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in the regulation of bone metabolism. MiR-146a, an important anti-inflammatory miRNA, was found to negatively impact osteogenesis…
