Abstract
Knowledge-based pathway analysis revealed the upregulation of activation-related pathways in RA that was substantially ameliorated by abatacept. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) evaluated CD4+ T cells collectively and identified a gene module that consisted of 227 genes and was correlated with DAS28-CRP (Spearman's rho = 0.46, p = 4 Ã 10â9) and abatacept administration (Spearman's rho = â0.91, p = 5 Ã 10â57). The most highly connected 30 genes of this module included ZAP70 and JAK3, and pathway analysis of this module revealed dysregulation of the TCR signaling pathway network, which was ameliorated by abatacept.
