Serum Type I Interferon Score for Prediction of Clinically Meaningful Disease Progression in Limited Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To assess the value of serum type I interferon (IFN) score in predicting clinically meaningful progression in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) using a novel composite endpoint adopted from the MINIMISE clinical trial. Methods A retrospective, longitudinal lcSSc cohort was identified within a national, multicenter observational ...

Plasma adrenomedullin peptides and precursor levels in pulmonary arterial hypertension disease severity and risk stratification

Pulmonary Circulation, 2020
Adrenomedullin is a potent vasodilatory peptide, linked to pulmonary arterial hypertension pathology. Proximity extension assays were utilized to study plasma biomarkers related to vasoregulation, with focus on adrenomedullin peptides and precursor ...

Role of extracellular matrix in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2018
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the pulmonary arteries with increased collagen deposition, cross-linkage of collagen, and breakdown of elastic laminae.

Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of ABBV‐154 in Adults With Glucocorticoid‐Dependent Polymyalgia Rheumatica: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Trial

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective An unmet need exists for glucocorticoid‐sparing treatments for patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). The antibody‐drug conjugate ABBV‐154 comprises adalimumab conjugated to a glucocorticoid receptor modulator. We evaluated ABBV‐154 versus placebo in patients with glucocorticoid‐dependent PMR.

Risk assessment in pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension

European Respiratory Journal, 2019
Background Current pulmonary hypertension treatment guidelines recommend use of a risk stratification model encompassing a range of parameters, allowing patients to be categorised as low, intermediate or high risk. Three abbreviated versions of this risk

Activin A‐activated ALK4 induces pathogenic Th17 involved endothelial–mesenchymal transition in systemic lupus erythematosus‐associated pulmonary arterial hypertension

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), are associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a condition that can lead to heart failure. However, whether T cells also contribute to the occurrence of PAH in SLE, has not been clarified.

Elevated serum circ_0068481 levels as a potential diagnostic and prognostic indicator in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2019
Circular RNAs have continuous, stable, and covalently closed circular structures and are not easily degraded by nucleases, thus they are ideal serum biomarkers for detecting diseases.

Genetic causal association between heart failure, frailty and poisoning by narcotics and psychodysleptics: A two‐sample Mendelian randomization

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Observational studies have suggested associations between heart failure (HF), frailty and poisoning by narcotics and psychodysleptics (PNP). However, establishing causal relationships has been challenging. This study used a two‐sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach to investigate the genetically proxied causality between HF ...
