Project description:Characterize active synovial fluid (SF) serine proteinases in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in comparison to osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Project description:We report changes in gene expression in human peripheral blood neutrophils from patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) before and 12-weeks after treatment with Secukinumab (SKB, 150mg). All patients achieved a good PSARC (Psoriatic Arthritis Response Criteria) and PASI 90 (Psoriasis Area and Severity Index) response to treatment. We also report gene expression in healthy control neutrophils compared to patients wth psoriatic arthritis.
Project description:To identify the cell populations in synovial fluid (SF) from psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, single cell 3’-RNA-sequencing of cells from PsA SF samples (n=3) was performed using the 10X Genomics platform. Twelve main clusters of cells were predicted and the most abundant clusters had a predominance of monocytes/macrophages gene expression patterns.
Project description:Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling of motile spermatozoa from 23 patients with psoriasis without arthritis, 13 psoriatic arthritis, and 18 unaffected controls using the Infinium HumanMethylation 450k v1 platform.
Project description:The pathobiology of rheumatoid inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), involves the interplay between innate and adaptive immune components and resident synoviocytes. Single-cell analyses of patient samples and relevant mouse models have characterized many cellular subsets in RA. However, the impact of interactions between cell types is not fully understood. Here, we temporally profiled murine arthritic synovial isolates at the single-cell level to identify perturbations like those found in human RA. Notably, murine macrophage subtypes like those in RA patients were expanded in arthritis and linked to promoting the function of Th17 cells in the joint. In vitro experiments identified a capacity for murine macrophages to maintain the functionality and expansion of Th17 cells. Reciprocally, murine Th17 cell-derived TNFa induced CD38+ macrophages that enhanced Th17 functionality. Murine synovial CD38+ macrophages were expanded during arthritis and their depletion or blockade via TNFa-neutralization alleviated disease while reducing IL-17A-producing cells. These findings identify a cellular feedback loop that promotes Th17 cell pathogenicity through TNFa to drive inflammatory arthritis.
Project description:The expression of 723 mature miRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with early, active psoriatic arthritis ,early-rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) (both groups treatment naïve) and of healthy controls (HC) was analysed using a miRNA microarray.
Project description:Gene expression profiles of synovial biopsies and peripheral blood cells from Psoriatic Arthritis were compared to gene expression profiles of synovial samples and peripheral blood cells from healthy subjects.
Project description:This dataset contains .RAW files acquired for the paper: Identifying Serum Metabolomic Markers Associated with Skin Disease Activity in patients with Psoriatic Arthritis.
Project description:Psoriatic arthritis is a seronegative polyarticular form of inflammatory arthritis . Genetic analysis implicates a role for both IL-17/23 axis and CD8+ T cells in disease susceptibility. Using RNA-seq we identified differential gene expression between synovial IL-17A+(IFNy+/-) CD8+ T cells compared to IL-17A-IFNy+ CD8+ T cells and IL-17A+CD4+ T cells from the synovial fluid of psoriatic arthritis patients. We find that IL-17A+CD8+ T cells have a transcriptional overlap with IL-17A+CD4+ T cells. Overall we show these IL-17A+ CD8+ T cells have a polyfunctional, pro-inflammatory capacity and are potentially derived from common precursors, shared with IL-17A-CD8+ T cells.
