Egr-1 induces a profibrotic injury/repair gene program associated with systemic sclerosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) signaling is implicated in the pathogenesis of fibrosis in scleroderma or systemic sclerosis (SSc), but the precise mechanisms are poorly understood. The immediate-early gene Egr-1 is an inducible transcription factor

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...

Lung Ultrasound for the Detection of Radiologic Progression of Interstitial Lung Abnormalities in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Systemic sclerosis (Scleroderma) Among Adults Attending the Rheumatology Clinic of a Tertiary Institution

Annals of Health Research, 2016
Background: Systemic sclerosis is a multi-systemic autoimmune disorder characterised by the generation of autoantibodies, massive deposition of collagen and other matrix substances in the connective tissues and alterations of the microvasculature ...

Integrated Clinical and Proteomic Profiling of CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in Progressive Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective To characterize the clinical, immunologic, and proteomic changes associated with CD19 chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy in patients with progressive systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Patients with progressive SSc received CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy and were observed longitudinally for safety, clinical efficacy,

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Outcomes in Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases: Real‐World Data From the ILD‐PRO Registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective We evaluated baseline characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes in patients with systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease–associated progressive pulmonary fibrosis (SARD‐PPF) and evaluated whether outcomes differed by SARD subtype. Methods The ILD‐PRO Registry is a prospective multicenter US registry of patients with PPF.

Abatacept Reduces CD319+ (SLAMF7) Cytotoxic T Cells and Cytokine Production in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by immune dysregulation and fibrosis. We investigated whether abatacept modulates CD319/SLAMF7‐expressing cytotoxic T cells implicated in diffuse cutaneous SSc. Methods In this ancillary ASSET trial analysis, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 67 participants were analyzed at baseline and months ...

Autoantibodies, cutaneous subset and immunosuppressants contribute to the cancer risk in systemic sclerosis

RMD Open
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is associated with an increased risk of cancer. We aimed to assess the prevalence of cancer in our cohort and to explore possible associations with clinical, immunological and treatment characteristics.Methods Our ...
