Glutathione S Transferases (GST) Polymorphisms Are Independents Predictors of Efficacy and Toxicity in Lupus Nephritis Treated with Cyclophosphamide
Background/Purpose: Cyclophosphamide (CYC) is effective in inducing remission of lupus nephritis (LN). CYC, as a pro-drug, requires bioactivation through multiple hepatic cytochrome P450s and glutathione…Abstract Number: 2684 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Adam33 Polymorphisms with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) is a member of a family of genes that encode membrane-anchored proteins with a disintegrin and a metalloprotease…Abstract Number: 2673 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
High-Throughput Sequencing of 219 Candidate Genes for Identification of SLE-Associated Risk Variants
Background/Purpose: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, believed to arise from environmental triggering events in genetically predisposed individuals. To date, more than…Abstract Number: 87 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of TRIM21 (RO52) Polymorphisms with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in a Japanese Population
Background/Purpose TRIM21, also referred to as Ro52 or SS-A1, belongs to the tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) family. TRIM21 is not only important as an autoantigen, but…Abstract Number: 167 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association Of Functional Polymorphisms In IRF2 With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus In a Japanese Population
Background/Purpose: Interferon regulatory factor (IRF) families are transcription factors involved in type I interferon (IFN) pathway. Recent genetic studies identified association of IRF family genes,…Abstract Number: 1629 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Effect Of NR1H3 (LXRA) Promoter Polymorphisms In Korean Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Liver X receptor alpha (LXRA, NR1H3) and beta (LXRB, NR1H2) can influence macrophage biology by modulation of lipid metabolism and by effects on innate…Abstract Number: 2273 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Functional Genetic Polymorphisms in Immunoglobulin-Like Transcript 3 Are Associated with Decreased Surface Expression On Dendritic Cells and Increased Serum Cytokines in Lupus Patients
Background/Purpose: Hyperactivity of the type I interferon (IFN) pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Immunoglobulin like transcript (ILT3) is an…Abstract Number: 2275 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
NR1H3 (LXR alpha) Gene Polymorphisms Are Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Koreans
Background/Purpose: Liver X receptorsare established sensors of lipid and cholesterol homeostasis. The recent studies have reported that LXRs are involved in regulation of inflammation and…Abstract Number: 2278 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of Integrin-á-M (ITGAM) Are Associated with Susceptibility to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in an Asian Lupus Cohort
Background/Purpose: SLE is a systemic autoimmune disease where lupus nephritis (LN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Integrin-a-M (ITGAM) is critical for the…Abstract Number: 1613 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The SLE-Associated TLR7 Variant Confers Differential Gene Expression Modulated by Microrna-3148
Background/Purpose: We established an X-linked TLR7 3’UTR SNP (rs3853839) as a risk locus for SLE in 9,274 Eastern Asians (Pcombined = 6.5×10-10). Risk-allele carriers have…Abstract Number: 971 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of adam33 Polymorphisms with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) is a member of a family of genes that encode membrane-anchored proteins with a disintegrin and a metalloprotease…Abstract Number: 846 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Preferential Binding to Elk-1 by SLE-Associated IL10 Risk Allele up-Regulates IL10 Expression
Background/Purpose:The established association between IL10 and multiple autoimmune diseases including SLE and elevated levels of IL-10 in SLE patients correlating with disease activity led us to fine-map…
