Serum protein biomarkers for polymyalgia rheumatica: a case-control study

Objective Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), a chronic inflammatory disease that affects older people, is characterized by musculoskeletal pain in the shoulder, neck, and pelvic girdle. It can be challenging to discriminate PMR from older age onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Systematic investigations of serum proteins have...

Association of Airway Disease and Single-Nucleotide Variants in PTPN14 and IL9RP3 in Japanese Cases of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Objectives: Airway disease, commonly related to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), confers an inferior prognosis. Few genetic analyses in RA have investigated patient susceptibility to airway disease. We examined if single-nucleotide variants related to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis susceptibility were related to airway diseas...

Blood protein biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis patients complicated by interstitial lung disease

Objective The prognosis of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) is very poor. We used blood protein profiles to identify biomarkers for ILD in patients with RA. Methods Proteome analyses of plasma samples from 16 RA patients with ILD or without chronic lung disease (C...
