PARP Inhibition Attenuates Acute Kidney Allograft Rejection by Suppressing Cell Death Pathways and Activating PI-3K-Akt Cascade. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Novel immunosuppressive therapy facilitates long term allograft survival, but acute tubular necrosis and ischemia-reperfusion during transplantation can compromise allograft function.

Impact of CD14 Polymorphisms on Anti-Apolipoprotein A-1 IgG-Related Coronary Artery Disease Prediction in the General Population. [PDF]
We aimed to determine whether autoantibodies against apoA-1 (apolipoprotein A-1; anti-apoA-1 IgG) predict incident coronary artery disease (CAD), defined as adjudicated incident myocardial infarction, angina, percutaneous coronary revascularization, or ...

P22 Anti-carbamylated protein antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus: clinical and serological associations [PDF]
Background/Purpose Anti-carbamylated protein antibodies (anti-CarP) have been described not only in Rheumatoid arthritis but in other systemic autoimmune diseases. Recently, they have been reported in different cohorts of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with a prevalence of 9–28%1–4 in patients selected with arthritis/arthralgias.

Low oxygen tension primes aortic endothelial cells to the reparative effect of tissue-protective cytokines [PDF]
Erythropoietin (EPO) has both erythropoietic and tissue-protective properties. The EPO analogues carbamylated EPO (CEPO) and pyroglutamate helix B surface peptide (pHBSP) lack the erythropoietic activity of EPO but retain the tissue-protective properties

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is more common and severe in women compared to men. Both women and men with RA express autoantibodies to post-translationally modified antigens, including citrullinated and homocitrullinated proteins or peptides.
