  4. 2. Rho-GTPases in Rheumatoid Arthritis

    Author : Eric Malmhäll-Bah; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rho-GTPases; rheumatoid arthritis; innate immunity; adaptive immunity; RA treatment;

    Abstract : The success of alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) symptoms is complicated by both heterogeneity of the disease and lack of predictive markers to guide treatment options. Deregulated Rho-GTPases, a family of hydrolase enzymes catalyzing guanosine triphospate (GTP) to guanosine diphospate (GDP), have a detrimental role in many diseases including RA. READ MORE

  5. 3. Aspects on inflammation and cardiovascular comorbidity in rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Lotta Ljung; Solbritt Rantapää-Dahlqvist; Johan Askling; Piet van Riel; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; rheumatoid arthritis; co-morbidity; cardiovascular disease; atherosclerosis; acute coronary syndromes; adipokines; adipose tissue; tumor necrosis factor inhibition;

    Abstract : There is an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) comorbidity among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with premature atherosclerosis, and a higher incidence of CV events, compared with the general population. Disease related factors add to the CV risk, and interact with the traditional CV risk factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. B cell subpopulations in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis

    Author : Katrin Thorarinsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; Joint destruction; DAS28; CD21- low B cells;

    Abstract : B cell depleting therapy has proven to be an effective treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a disease characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against citrullinated proteins (ACPA) and the Fc portion of IgG (rheumatoid factor, RF). This demonstrates the vital role B cells play in the disease. READ MORE
