Abstract

B and T cells play a key role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathophysiology. RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 are involved in T and B cell receptors signaling, and belong to gene combination able to predict infliximab responsiveness, leading to the question of RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 involvement in RA. RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 expression levels were measured by qRT-PCR and/or western-blot in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), in T and B cells from untreated RA patients and in RA patients treated by TNFα inhibitors. T and B cells from healthy controls (HC) were cultured with TNFα, and TNFα receptors neutralizing antibodies to highlight the TNFα effects on RasGRP1 and RasGRP3 pathways. MAPK pathways and apoptosis were respectively analyzed using the Proteome Profiler arrays and flow cytometry. In PBMCs from RA patients, gene expression levels of RasGRP1 were invariant while RasGRP3 was downregulated under TNFα inhibitors and upregulated under TNFα. In T cells from RA patients, RasGRP1 was decreased and its gene expression level was correlated with disease activity. In T cells from HC, TNFα stimulation increased RasGRP1 gene expression level while it reduced RasGRP1 protein expression level. Bryostatin-1 experiments have confirmed that the TNFα effect observed on T cells proliferation was due to the decrease of RasGRP1 expression. Besides, RasGRP3 expression level increased in PBMCs from RA patients under TNFα and in B cells from HC leading us to conclude that RasGRP3 in B cells was modulated by TNFα. This study demonstrates RasGRP1 dysregulation in RA patients while RasGRP3 is characterized as a biomarker linked to TNFα inhibitors. After binding to TNFR1, TNFα reduced RasGRP1 protein expression resulting in inhibition of T cell activation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 10. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 04 October 2018.
All research outputs
#3,414,665
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#736
of 3,381 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,768
of 397,000 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Arthritis Research & Therapy
#50
of 105 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 86th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,381 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.2. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 397,000 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 105 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
