Calprotectin (S100A8/A9) has the strongest association with ultrasound-detected synovitis and predicts response to biologic treatment: results from a longitudinal study of patients with established rheumatoid arthritis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-01-12)Background: Calprotectin (S100A8/A9 or MRP8/14) and S100A12 (leukocyte-derived proteins), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are markers of inflammation and angiogenesis. Ultrasound (US) is ... -
Carbamylation of immunoglobulin abrogates activation of the classical complement pathway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11)Post-translational modifications of proteins significantly affect their structure and function. The carbamylation of positively charged lysine residues to form neutral homoitrulline occurs primarily under inflammatory ... -
The link between periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis: An updated review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01)Porphyromonas gingivalis is a leading pathogen in chronic periodontitis, a disease process involving progressive destruction of the tissues that support the teeth. Recently, the organism has been reported to produce a ... -
Marine ω-3, vitamin D levels, disease outcome and periodontal status in rheumatoid arthritis outpatients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11)Objectives: Marine ω-3 fatty acids (FAs) and Vitamin D (VitD) are reportedly capable of down-regulating inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease. This study was undertaken to relate marine FA and ... -
Når kroppen endres... En kvalitativ studie av kvinnelige pasienters hverdagserfaring med kroppsendringer ved revmatisk sykdom
(Master thesis, 2011-05-31)Bakgrunn: I Norge regner man med at 0,5 – 1 % av befolkningen har sykdommen revmatoid artritt, og hvert år får ca 1400 voksne diagnosen. Forskning viser at sykdommen får betydning for livet som helhet og at kroppsendringene ... -
The neutrophil protein S100A12 is associated with a comprehensive ultrasonographic synovitis score in a longitudinal study of patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with adalimumab
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-10-04)Background: The calcium-binding protein S100A12 correlates with measures of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The protein reflects neutrophil activation and the present objective was to explore ... -

The role of anti-citrullinated protein antibody reactivities in an inception cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treat-to-target therapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-07-13)Background: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) reactivities precede clinical onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and it has been suggested that ACPA reactivities towards distinct target proteins may be associated ...
