Osteoclastogenesis and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Blood Levels in Patients with Systemic Sclerosis with and Without Calcinosis Cutis
Background/Purpose: Calcinosis cutis is a debilitating complication of systemic sclerosis (SSc) with no effective treatments. Although the pathogenesis of SSc-related calcinosis remains unknown, there is…Abstract Number: 0054 • ACR Convergence 2022
MDSCs in Inflammatory Joints of SKG Mice Suppress T Cells and Differentiate into Osteoclasts
Background/Purpose: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are heterogeneous immature myeloid cells with suppressive functions. It is known that MDSCs are expanded in inflammatory sites after migrating…Abstract Number: 0578 • ACR Convergence 2022
Interleukin-6 Trans-Signaling Induces Synovial Fibroblast Invasiveness by Utilizing Ets2 Protein
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with a complex interplay of synovial cells and soluble factors that create the signatures of chronic inflammation…Abstract Number: 0588 • ACR Convergence 2022
S-nitrosoglutathione Reductase (GSNOR) Regulates Osteoclast Differentiation
Background/Purpose: S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) reductase (GSNOR) is an enzyme which decomposes GSNO and downregulates protein S-nitrosylation. It has been reported that GSNOR KO mice have enhanced…Abstract Number: 0030 • ACR Convergence 2021
Interleukin-9 Enhances the Osteoclastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by synovial inflammation leading to bone destruction. Bone erosion in RA results from excessive resorption…Abstract Number: 0996 • ACR Convergence 2021
The Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) Protects from Bone Loss Through Regulation of Tonic and Induced Type I Interferon Pathways
Background/Purpose: The intracellular DNA sensing Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) pathway is critical for detection of viral and bacterial pathogen DNA. Hyperactivating mutations in this…Abstract Number: 1472 • ACR Convergence 2021
Characterization and Function of Tumor Necrosis Factor α and Interleukin-6–Induced Osteoclasts in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: We have previously reported that stimulation of mouse bone marrow–derived macrophages with a combination of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) induces…Abstract Number: 1479 • ACR Convergence 2021
CD14, a Toll-like Receptor Co-Factor, Influences Osteoclast Differentiation and Activity, but Does Not Alter Osteoblastic Potential of Bone-Marrow Precursors in Mice
Background/Purpose: Changes in subchondral bone structure (SCB) occur in osteoarthritis (OA), and are visible by imaging as subchondral sclerosis on radiographs, and bone marrow lesions…Abstract Number: 0074 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Intracellular DNA Sensor STING Protects Against Bone Loss Through Regulation of Type I Interferons
Background/Purpose: The intracellular DNA sensor Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) is essential for detection of viral and bacterial pathogen DNA. As with other pathways in…Abstract Number: 1407 • ACR Convergence 2020
Resolvin D5 Modulates Th17/Treg Cell Differentiation and Suppresses Osteoclastogenesis
Background/Purpose: Over the last two decades, it has become increasingly clear that resolution of acute inflammation is not a passive process, but requires active modulation.…Abstract Number: 1 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Interleukin-6 Promotes Osteoclast-like Phenotype in Human Rheumatoid Arthritis Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation and joint destruction caused by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Progressive joint damage is also an…Abstract Number: 25 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Altered Distribution and Enhanced Osteoclastogenesis of Mucosal-associated Invariant T Cells in Gouty Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are subsets of innate invariant T cells and rapidly produce Th1/Th17 cytokines including interferon (IFN)-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,…Abstract Number: 1948 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
The Mechanism of DC-STAMP-Mediated Signaling in Cell-Cell Fusion and Osteoclast Maturation
Background/Purpose: Osteoclasts (OC) are bone-resorbing, multinuclear cells that originate from myeloid progenitor cells through repetitive cycles of cell-cell fusion. Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) is…Abstract Number: 1981 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Functional Differences Between Osteoclasts and Osteoclast-like Cells Differentiated from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
