Identification of Transcriptional Regulatory Networks in Systemic Sclerosis
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous autoimmune disorder with poor outcomes and no FDA-approved therapies. Prior work has shown gene expression patterns associated with…Abstract Number: 2072 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2016
Fli1-Haploinsufficient Dermal Fibroblasts Promote Skin-Localized Transdifferentiation of Th2- and Th17-like Regulatory T Cells
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem connective tissue disease characterized by autoimmunity/inflammation, vasculopathy, and tissue fibrosis. Fli1 is a member of Ets family transcription…Abstract Number: 2704 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Twist1 Regulates Transforming Growth Factor Beta Dependent Activation Of Fibroblasts In Fibrosis
Background/Purpose: Twist1 is a member of the tissue-restricted class B of basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors acting as master regulators on different tissues. Twist1 is controlled…Abstract Number: 2706 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Fli1 Haploinsufficiency Exacerbates Dermal Fibrosis Via Activation Of Fibroblasts, Endothelial Cells and Macrophages In Bleomycin-Treated Mice
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder with clinical manifestations resulting from immune activation, vascular injuries and fibrosis development. Previous reports suggest that…Abstract Number: 2707 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
Downregulation Of KLF5 and Fli1 Cooperatively Contribute To Distinct Manifestations Of Systemic Sclerosis In Vitro and In Vivo
Background/Purpose: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by initial vascular injuries and resultant fibrosis of skin and certain internal organs. Although the…Abstract Number: 665 • ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting 2013
