Therapeutic Effect of Rosiglitazone-Mediated Dendritic Cells in Established Arthritis in Mice
Background/Purpose: Rosiglitazone is a selective ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-γ), which is expressed by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and plays a fundamental role in…Abstract Number: 3013 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Adipose Loss of Co-Repressor Ncor Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Skin Fibrosis By Enhancing PPAR-Gamma Signaling
Background/Purpose: The adipogenesis master regulator PPAR-gamma (PPARg) is regulated by repressors such as NCoR. Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with impaired PPARg expression and function…Abstract Number: 8 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Bay 11-7085 Induces Glucocorticoid Receptor Activation and Autophagy to Initiate Human Synovial Fibroblast Cell Death
Background/Purpose: BAY 11-7085 is an inhibitor of IκBα phosphorylation that leads to NF-κB inactivation and downregulation of inflammation in mouse model of asthma, in articular…Abstract Number: 2703 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Reduction in Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 and -2 Secretion from Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes after Induction of Adipogenesis By a Natural Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Ligand, Arterpilin-C
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) play important roles in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by producing matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and cytokines, and hence, these cells are a therapeutic…Abstract Number: 763 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Caveolin-1 and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Co-Regulate the Differentiation of Monocytes to Adipocytes and Myofibroblasts in Vivo and in Vitro
Background/Purpose Skin fibrosis in scleroderma is associated with the loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue (lipodystrophy). The mechanisms underlying lipodystrophy and its relationship to fibrosis are…Abstract Number: 1504 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Inflammation Effect Of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor-ã (PPAR-ã) In Non-Obese Diabetic Mice With Sjogren’s Syndrome
Background/Purpose: To investigate the anti-inflammation effect of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) in non-obese diabetic mice (NOD mice) with sjogren`s syndrome.Methods: Twenty 8-weeks-old female NOD mice were randomly divided into…
