Claudin-11 Regulates Bone Homeostasis Via Bidirectional EphB4-EphrinB2 Signaling
Background/Purpose: Claudins (Cldns) are well-established components of tight junctions (TJs) that play a pivotal role in the modulation of paracellular permeability. Several studies have explored…Abstract Number: 1105 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bone Metabolism in Rheumatic Diseases May be Affected By Free Fatty Acids
Background/Purpose: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of osteoarthritis also in non-weight bearing joints and increased amounts of visceral fat are associated with lower…Abstract Number: 2084 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane Protein (DC-STAMP) Modulates Bone Resorption in Inflammatory Arthritis and Fracture Repair
Background/Purpose: Osteoclasts (OC) direct pathologic bone resorption in osteoporosis and inflammatory arthritis. We previously demonstrated that DC-STAMP (Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane protein), a 7-pass transmembrane protein,…Abstract Number: 2087 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Defective Circadian Control in Mesenchymal Cells Reduces Adult Bone Mass
Background/Purpose: Genetic disruption of the circadian molecular clock in mice is a powerful tool to dissect the role of circadian rhythms in health and disease.…Abstract Number: 22 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine a2A Receptor (A2AR) Stimulation Inhibits Osteoclast Differentiation and Promotes Osteoblast Formation By Regulation of Axon Guidance Proteins
Background/Purpose Semaphorins (Sema), axonal guidance proteins, play a role in communication between osteoclast and osteoblast. Thus, sema4D, secreted by osteoclasts, binds to its receptor PlexinB1…Abstract Number: 1830 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR) Diminishes Wear Particle (UHMWPE)-Mediated Osteolysis, Increases Bone Formation and Regulates Expression Of Axonal Guidance Proteins (AGP) By Macrophages, Osteoclasts (OC) and Osteoblasts (OB)
Background/Purpose: Communication between OC and OB is critical for maintenance of bone homeostasis; both OC and OB release regulatory messengers. Among these signaling molecules are…Abstract Number: 2516 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine Receptors Stimulate Bone Regeneration by Targeting Osteoclasts
Background/Purpose: Various types of orthopedic procedures, including spinal fusion and repair of bone defects due to trauma, infection or metastatic disease, require formation of new…Abstract Number: 16 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adenosine A2A Receptor Diminishes Bone Destruction At Inflamed Sites, in Part, Via Downregulating Semaphorin4D-PlexinB1 Communication Between Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts
Background/Purpose: Communication between osteoclasts and osteoblasts is essential for bone homeostasis. Semaphorin4D (Sema4D), expressed on the surface of and secreted by osteoclasts, macrophages and T…
