Deregulated NLRP3 and NLRP1 Inflammasomes and Their Correlations with Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus ErythematosusJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 41 Số 3 - Trang 444-452 - 2014
Qingrui Yang, Chengcheng Yu, Zhaowen Yang, Qing Wei, Kun Mu, Ying Zhang, Wei Zhao, Xiaofeng Wang, Wanwan Huai, Lihui Han
Objective.NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 and 1 (NLRP3 and
NLRP1) inflammasomes are molecular platforms that sense the damage or danger
signals of cells. We investigated whether NLRP3/NLRP1 inflammasomes are involved
in the pathogenesis and progression of systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE).Methods.Expressions of inflammasome components at the mRNA and protein
levels in the peri... hiện toàn bộ
Autosome-wide Copy Number Variation Association Analysis for Rheumatoid Arthritis Using the WTCCC High-density SNP Genotype DataJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 38 Số 5 - Trang 797-801 - 2011
Mohammed Uddin, Mitch Sturge, Proton Rahman, Michael O. Woods
Objective.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune rheumatic disease
that is strongly influenced by genetic factors. Numerous genes are convincingly
associated with RA, including genes in tumor necrosis factor signaling (TNF) and
the nuclear factor-κB pathway. To date, except for genes within the HLA region,
no data exist regarding potential copy number variations (CNV) involving
RA-assoc... hiện toàn bộ
Evidence for Genetic Association and Interaction Between the TYK2 and IRF5 Genes in Systemic Lupus ErythematosusJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 36 Số 8 - Trang 1631-1638 - 2009

Objective.Several candidate genes have been implicated in susceptibility for
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a complex autoimmune disease. The proposed
genes include members of the type I interferon (IFN) pathway and genes involved
in immunological defense functions. Our aim was to systematically replicate 6
such genes, TYK2, IRF5, CTLA4, PDCD1, FCGR2A, and NOD2.Methods.Single-nucleotide

Association of Polymorphisms in Interferon Regulatory Factor 5 Gene with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A MetaanalysisJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 36 Số 4 - Trang 693-697 - 2009
Seung Woo Han, Won Ki Lee, Ki Tae Kwon, Byung Ki Lee, Eon Jeong Nam, GUN WOO KIM
Objective.We investigated potential associations between rheumatoid arthritis
(RA) and interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) polymorphisms in a
metaanalysis.Methods.This metaanalysis included 5 case-control studies, which
provided a total of 6582 RA cases and 5375 controls. Odds ratios (OR) were
employed to evaluate the risk of RA according to the 4 single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNP) inIRF5(rs7... hiện toàn bộ
Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis in Clinical Remission Manifest Persistent Joint Inflammation on Histology and Imaging StudiesJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 41 Số 11 - Trang 2153-2160 - 2014
Allen Anandarajah, Ralf Thiele, Ellen Giampoli, Johnny U. V. Monu, Gwysuk Seo, Changyong Feng, Christopher T. Ritchlin
Objective.The purpose of our study was to test the hypothesis that synovitis on
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) observed in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who meet remission criteria reflects active
inflammation on histopathology.Methods.We analyzed 15 synovial specimens
obtained during surgical procedures from 14 patients with RA in clinical
remission as defined by t... hiện toàn bộ
Effectiveness of Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors in Combination with Various csDMARD in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Data from the DREAM RegistryJournal of Rheumatology - Tập 43 Số 10 - Trang 1787-1794 - 2016
S. Manders, Wietske Kievit, Tim Jansen, Jan Stolk, Henk Visser, A. Schilder, Harald E. Vonkeman, Eddy Adang, Mart A F J van de Laar, Piet L. C. M. van Riel
Objective.To analyze and compare the effectiveness and drug survival in patients
with rheumatoid arthritis, as measured by 28-joint Disease Activity Score
(DAS28) and Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), of tumor
necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) monotherapy, TNFi + leflunomide (LEF), TNFi +
sulfasalazine (SSZ), TNFi + other conventional synthetic disease-modifying

Martín‐Mola, Alejandro Balsa, Dora Pascual‐Salcedo
Objective.To compare clinical outcomes, incidence of flares, and administered
drug reduction between patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA) under TNF inhibitor
(TNFi) tapering strategy with patients receiving a standard regimen.Methods.In
this retrospective study, 74 patients with SpA from Spain on tapering strategy
(tapering group; TG) were compared with 43 patients from the Netherlands
