Immunopathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory arthropathy. The majority of evidence, derived from genetics, tissue analyses, models, and clinical studies, points to an immune-mediated etiology associated with stromal tissue dysregulation that

Interactions between rheumatoid arthritis antibodies are associated with the response to anti-tumor necrosis factor therapy

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background Blocking of the Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) activity is a successful therapeutic approach for 50–60% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, there are yet no biomarkers to stratify patients for anti-TNF therapy.

Smoking is associated with the concurrent presence of multiple autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis rather than with anti-citrullinated protein antibodies per se:a multicenter cohort study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: The contribution of smoking to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is hypothesized to be mediated through formation of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA).

Mucosa-Environment Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mucosal surfaces play a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, and periodontitis interact with the host at the mucosal level, triggering immune system ...

Meta-Analysis: Diagnostic Accuracy of Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibody for Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2016
The anti-carbamylated protein (CarP) antibody is a novel biomarker that might help in the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We aim to assess the diagnostic value of anti-CarP antibody for RA.We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for studies published by December 15, 2015.

Anti-carbamylated Protein Antibody Levels Correlate with Anti-Sa (Citrullinated Vimentin) Antibody Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Rheumatology, 2015
Objective.The presence of anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) indicates a breach in immune tolerance. Recent studies indicate that this breach extends to homocitrullination of lysines with the formation of anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies.

Expression of citrulline and homocitrulline residues in the lungs of non-smokers and smokers : implications for autoimmunity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction: Smoking is a well-established risk factor for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it has been proposed that smoking-induced citrullination renders autoantigens immunogenic.
