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: 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
Background/Purpose: Osteoclasts (OCs) are giant multinucleated cells formed from precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage and are believe to play a major role in the bone…Abstract Number: 2020 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Metabolic Changes Induced by Anti-Malondialdehyde Antibodies Promote Osteoclast Development
Background/Purpose: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is highly reactive compound produced by lipid-peroxidation in situations associated with oxidative stress. MDA can irreversibly modify proteins (e.g. lysine, arginine and histidine…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: 53 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Poly-γ-Glutamic Acid Inhibits RANKL- Induced Osteoclast Differentiation and Prevents Bone Destruction in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Human and CIA Mouse Model
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that is characterized by chronic inflammation and bone destruction. Osteoclasts, which are bone-resorbing cells, are generally known…Abstract Number: 902 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Evidence for Inhibition of Osteoclastogenesis By Cytomegalovirus Infection: Implication in RA Bone Erosion and Identification of a Cellular Protein As a Therapeutic Target
Background/Purpose: Exacerbated differentiation of monocytes into osteoclasts (OC) contributes to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) resulting in severe bone erosion and functional damage. Osteoclastogenesis…Abstract Number: 2792 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Th22 Cells Are a Potent Inducer of Osteoclastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: CD4+ T cells can differentiate into functionally distinct subsets and play a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Th22 cells have been identified as…Abstract Number: 325 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
