Preferential Distribution of M1 Monocytes in Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Positive Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone erosions are caused mainly by osteoclasts. Osteoclasts are derived from monocytes and macrophages (MoMa). MoMa consists of different subtypes…Abstract Number: 1101 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adalimumab:TNF Complexes Induce a Divergent Proteomic Profile in Human Osteoclast Precursors to That Resembling a Monocytic Cell
Background/Purpose: TNF has been shown to contribute to osteoclastogenesis independently and in conjunction with M-CSF or RANKL, two key cytokines involved in osteoclast (OC) development.…Abstract Number: 1156 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Th17 Cytokines Regulate Osteoclastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: This study aimed to determine the regulatory effect of Th17 cytokines on osteoclastogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: The expression of interleukin (IL)-17 and…Abstract Number: 2085 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
DC-STAMP Regulates Osteoclastogenesis through the Ca2+ /NFATc1 Axis
Background/Purpose: Osteoclasts (OC) are the only cell type known to erode bone. Many bone diseases including osteoporosis and arthritis are caused by excessive OC activity.…Abstract Number: 2086 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inhibition of Macrophage Inflammatory Protein 1-Alpha (CCL3) Significantly Reduced Bone Resorption in Vitro and the Development of Erosive Joint Pathology in Collagen-Induced Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The destruction of bone is a common feature of diseases like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple myeloma (MM). CCL3 is significantly elevated in the…Abstract Number: 3170 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Peripheral Osteoblastogenesis in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Enhanced after TNF Blocker Treatment, Irrespective of Systemic Inflammation
Background/Purpose: We investigated osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis in peripheral blood before and 6 months after TNF blocker treatment in seropositive RA patients. Methods: Seventeen seropositive…Abstract Number: 2794 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Deletion of the Inhibitory Receptor Motif, ITIM, on DC-STAMP Alters Osteoclast Differentiation and Function
Background/Purpose DC-STAMP (Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane Protein), a 7-pass transmembrane protein essential for cell-to-cell fusion during osteoclast (OC) differentiation, is expressed on the cell surface of…Abstract Number: 1888 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
PU.1, Mitf, and Their Novel Co-Partner, Eomes, Set up a Transcription Factor Network That Is Critical for Osteoclast Differentiation
Background/Purpose Osteoclasts are bone resorbing cells which differentiate from myeloid precursors. The crosstalk between osteoblasts and osteoclasts tightly regulates the dynamic and continuous process of…Abstract Number: 37 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Regulation of Osteoclast and T Cell Differentiation By DC-STAMP and TRAF3
Background/Purpose DC-STAMP (Dendritic Cell-Specific Transmembrane Protein) is a 7-pass transmembrane protein essential for cell-to-cell fusion during OC differentiation. We have previously shown that DC-STAMP is…Abstract Number: 2728 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Small Ubiquitin Related Modifier-1 (SUMO-1) Regulates Osteoclast Differentiation In Vitro and In Vivo.
Background/Purpose: Posttranslational modification of proteins by SUMO has been shown for a number of target molecules including transcription factors and is involved in a variety…Abstract Number: 2312 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Senescent T Cells Promote Bone Loss in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: To study the influence of aged CD28-T cells on systemic osteoporosis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional study on 100 patients with…Abstract Number: 36 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Role of FK506 Binding Protein 5 in Osteoclast Differentiation
Background/Purpose: RA is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease characterized by the destruction of bone in the joints. Moreover, it is well appreciated that systemic osteoporosis…Abstract Number: 14 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
EPAC1 Activation Is Required for NFkB Nuclear Translocation and Osteoclast Differentiation
Background/Purpose: Previous work demonstrated that one mechanism by which bisphosphonates inhibit osteoclast differentiation and function is via inhibition of Rap1A isoprenylation and, as a result,…
