Journal ArticleDOI

The major synovial targets of the rheumatoid arthritis-specific antifilaggrin autoantibodies are deiminated forms of the alpha- and beta-chains of fibrin.

TL;DR: Results show that deiminated forms of fibrin deposited in the rheumatoid synovial membranes are the major target of AFA, and suggest that autoimmunization against deimination fibrIn is a critical step in RA pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of macrophage secretion of tumor necrosis factor α through Fcγ receptor IIa engagement by rheumatoid arthritis–specific autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins complexed with fibrinogen

TL;DR: An in vitro human model demonstrates the inflammatory potential of ACPA-containing ICs via engagement of FcgammaRIIa at the surface of macrophages, strongly supporting their pathophysiologic involvement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epitopes of human fibrin recognized by the rheumatoid arthritis-specific autoantibodies to citrullinated proteins

TL;DR: The immunological conflict between ACPA and fibrin could sustain synovial inflammation not only via pro‐inflammatory effector mechanisms but also via impairment of fibrinolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of HLA-DR genes on the production of rheumatoid arthritis-specific autoantibodies to citrullinated fibrinogen

TL;DR: The RA-associated HLA–DRB1*0404 allele is also associated with production of antibodies to citrullinated fibrinogen, and T cell proliferation in response to citrillinated or uncitrullination fibr inogen peptides is frequent in RA patients and very infrequent in controls.
