Citrullinated vimentin as an important antigen in immune complexes from synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients with antibodies against citrullinated proteins [PDF]

, 2010
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease, which results in destruction of the joint. The presence of immune complexes (IC) in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients might contribute to this articular damage through different ...

Citrullinated Peptide Epitope Targets Therapeutic Nanoparticles to Human Neutrophils [PDF]

Bioconjugate Chemistry, 2019
Multiple drugs have been proposed for reducing harsh symptoms of human rheumatic diseases. However, a targeted therapy with mild to no side effects is still missing. In this study, we have prepared and tested a series of therapeutic nanoparticles for specific targeting of human neutrophils associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

Influence of peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 genotype and shared epitope on clinical characteristics and autoantibody profile of rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]

, 2009
Background: Recent evidence suggests that distinction of subsets of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) depending on anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (anti-CCP) status may be helpful in distinguishing distinct aetiopathologies and in predicting the ...

Heterogeneity of Rheumatoid Arthritis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease by Longitudinal Forced Vital Capacity Trajectory and Associations With Disease Outcomes

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to identify unique disease trajectories within rheumatoid arthritis–associated interstitial lung disease (RA‐ILD) based on longitudinal forced vital capacity (FVC) values and their associated clinical outcomes. Methods We performed a cohort study of RA‐ILD within the Veterans Health Administration from 1999 to 2021.

PAD-2-mediated citrullination of nucleophosmin provides an effective target for tumor immunotherapy

Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, 2022
Background The enzymatic conversion of arginine to citrulline is involved in gene and protein regulation and in alerting the immune system to stressed cells, including tumor cells. Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nuclear protein that plays key roles in cellular

Variable domain N-linked glycosylation and negative surface charge are key features of monoclonal ACPA: implications for B-cell selection

, 2018
Autoreactive B cells have a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and recent findings have proposed that anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) may be directly pathogenic.

Adipokines and Associations With Incident Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We assessed whether circulating adipokines are associated with incident fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Three adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, and fibroblast growth factor [FGF]‐21) were measured using banked enrollment serum from participants in a longitudinal RA cohort.

Periodontal sources of citrullinated antigens and TLR agonists related to RA

Autoimmunity, 2018
Anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA) precede the onset of clinical and subclinical rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACPA are frequently generated in further chronic inflammatory diseases, e.g.

Biosensor analysis of anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibody affinity [PDF]

Analytical Biochemistry, 2014
Anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPAs) are detected in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) sera and because of their strict association with the disease are considered marker antibodies, probably endowed with pathogenic potential. Antibody affinity is one of the parameters affecting pathogenicity.

Accuracy of Diagnostic Codes and Algorithms Used to Identify Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in Administrative Claims and Electronic Health Records: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective This systematic review aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of algorithms used to identify rheumatoid arthritis and juvenile idiopathic arthritis in electronic health records. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials databases and included studies that validated case definitions against a ...
