Human TLR8 Leads to Fatal Anemia Due to Ineffective Erythropoiesis in Bone Marrow Erythroblastic Islands in Murine SLE
Background/Purpose: There are multiple causes of anemia in SLE including hemolysis, inflammation, renal insufficiency and, more rarely, microangiopathy, hemophagocytosis and bone marrow insufficiency. One cause…Abstract Number: 017 • 2020 Pediatric Rheumatology Symposium
MyD88 S209R-Mediated Immune Dysregulation in Mouse Models of Arthritis
Background/Purpose: MYD88 is a critical adaptor protein that connects Toll-like and IL-1 receptor signaling to activation of NF-kB. We previously reported a heterozygous de novo mutation in MYD88 (S222R)…Abstract Number: 1768 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
A First-in-class Selective and Potent IRAK4 Degrader Demonstrates Robust in Vitro and in Vivo Inhibition of TLR/IL-1R Activation and Inflammation
Background/Purpose: IL-1R/TLR activation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of multiple autoimmune and inflammatory diseases driven by the IL-1 family of cytokines and by…Abstract Number: 2289 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Progesterone Decreases Gut Permeability Through Upregulating Occludin Expression in Primary Human Gut Tissues and Caco-2 Cells
Background/Purpose: Progesterone plays a protective role in preventing inflammation and preterm delivery during pregnancy. However, the mechanism involved is unknown. Microbial product translocation from a…Abstract Number: 2808 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Linking Toll-Like Receptor Signaling and Type I Interferons to Inflammation and Fibrosis in a Macrophage/Fibroblast Model of Congenital Heart Block
Background/Purpose: Since one of the strongest associations with antibodies (abs) to SSA/Ro (Ro60) is the development of congenital heart block (CHB), this model provides an…Abstract Number: 580 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Tenascin-C, a TLR 4 Endogenous Ligand Levels Are Increased in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Background/Purpose: Monocytes of patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) over-express Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 on their monocytes. Tenascin-C (TNC) is an extracellular-matrix-glycoprotein and acts as an…
