Title: “The Vitamin D-Gelsolin-S1P Axis in Rheumatoid Arthritis”
Goal: This grant will explore interactions between vitamin D status, plasma gelsolin, and plasma sphingosine
1-phosphate, which have independently been described as influencing severity of arthritis in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and determine whether a model that includes measurement of all three is a better
correlate of RA disease severity than either does alone.
