Sustained Drug-Free Remission in Early RA Following Methotrexate-Based Strategy: Role of the JAK-STAT Pathway
Background/Purpose: We previously identified several co-expressed genes associated with achieving sustained drug-free remission (sDFR) following a methotrexate (MTX)-based strategy in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).1 The…Abstract Number: 991 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Critical Role of Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) in IL-1β-Induced Inflammatory Responses: Cooperation with NF-κBp65 in Transcriptional Regulation
Background/Purpose: Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-1α are cytokines of IL-1 family that orchestrate acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, their distinct role or the extent of…Abstract Number: 2039 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Survey of Blood and Synovial Tissue Myeloid Cells in RA Patients By Transcriptional Profiling
Background/Purpose: Myeloid cells – including dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes, and macrophages – are critical to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through production of pro-inflammatory…Abstract Number: 174 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Transcriptional Profiling of Synovial Macrophages from RA Patients to Capture Disease Heterogeneity
Background/Purpose: In a given patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it is difficult to predict disease progression or identify to which treatments they will respond. Macrophages…Abstract Number: 1411 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Non-Receptor 22 / C-Src Tyrosine Kinase Complex Down-Regulated in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor 22 (PTPN22) binds to C-Src tyrosine kinase (CSK) forming a key regulator complex in autoimmunity1. In this regard, PTPN22 is…Abstract Number: 1564 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Comprehensive Analysis for the Transcriptional Organization of Stimuli Responses in Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes from Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Fibroblast-like synoviocyte (FLS) is expected to be a novel therapeutic target for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because of their contribution to pathogenesis. FLS expresses…Abstract Number: 18 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG) Facilitates TAK1 Nuclear Translocation and Its Interaction with p300 to Inhibit Histone Acetylation in Human RA Synovial Fibroblasts
Background/Purpose: TAK1 is one of the most important proteins in IL-1β signaling cascade that mediates downstream p38/JNK and NF-κB activation. In the present study, we…Abstract Number: 2919 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Novel Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Risk Gene, LBH, Is Regulated By TGFß and PDGF and Modulates Cell Growth in Fibroblast-like Synoviocytes
Background/Purpose: RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) display an aggressive phenotype, such as increased cytokine production and cell growth. Currently no therapeutics specifically target FLS. To this…Abstract Number: 2734 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Epigenetic Control Of a Gene Regulatory Network Associated With Experimental Autoimmune Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder that mainly affects the synovial joints, leading to destruction of articular cartilage and bone. There is…
