HLA-DRB1 genotype frequency in ACPA(+) and ACPA(−) RA patients and controls.
ACPA: anti-citrullinated peptide antibody, ACPA(+): ACPA-positive, ACPA(−): ACPA-negative, RA: rheumatoid arthritis, SE: Shared epitope, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval, Allele carrier frequencies are shown in parenthesis (%).

The Fc-glycan profile of IgG1 anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has recently been reported to be different from non-ACPA IgG1, a phenomenon which likely plays a role in RA pathogenesis.

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Objective Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an important extra‐articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) associated with high mortality and morbidity. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has recently emerged as a possible screening tool. We assessed the role of LUS in monitoring radiologic progression and the development of new interstitial lung ...

Independent association of HLA-DPB1*02:01 with rheumatoid arthritis in Japanese populations. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized with joint destructions; environmental and genetic factors were thought to be involved in the etiology of RA. The production of anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA)

Summary of the HLA-DRB1 alleles associated with ACPA-negative RA and ACPA-positive RA.
The relationships between the RF-positive and RF-negative subsets of ACPA-negative and ACPA-positive RA in terms of their associations with HLA-DRB1 alleles are illustrated.

Objective To identify autoantibodies in presymptomatic individuals that associate with the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to distinguish early RA from osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in individuals lacking classic RA serologic markers. Methods We analyzed serum and plasma from three cohorts: presymptomatic individuals who later developed RA ...

The pathogenic role of ACPA in rheumatoid arthritis
In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ACPA (anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibody) is elevated with high specificity, and clinically, anti-CCP (cyclic citrullinated peptide) antibody is widely used for diagnosis of RA. It is thought ACPAs are produced with genetic background such as HLA-DR, environmental factors such as periodontal disease and smoking,

Objective CD4 T cells specific for citrullinated (cit) peptides are key players in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) immunopathogenesis. Characterizing these cells and identifying features of healthy and RA‐associated autoreactivity will provide valuable insight into disease mechanisms and form the basis of immune state biomarkers to facilitate the next ...
