Cellular and Molecular Changes in Psoriasis Lesions Induced by Ustekinumab: Distinct Differences in Responders vs. Non-Responders
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A gene expression profiling sub-study was conducted in which skin biopsy samples (n=192) were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to microarrays from patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who participated in ACCEPT, an IRB-approved Phase 3, multicenter, randomized trial. This analysis identified gene expressions significantly modulated in psoriasis lesions (LS) following ustekinumab or etanercept treatment at week 12 compared to baseline. Molecular expression of mRNA was found to be different in ustekinumab PASI75 responders vs. nonresponders. Differential modulation of selected mRNAs was also observed between ustekinumab and etanercept PASI75 responders.
Project description:Ustekinumab provides clinical benefit to psoriasis patients, but precise cellular and molecular changes underlying its therapeutic utility are not yet fully understood. To assess differences between ustekinumab responders vs. non responders in modulating specific inflammatory pathways and provide reference data for exploring molecular effects of next-generation interleukin(IL)-17 and IL-23-antagonists in psoriasis.
Project description:Proteomic profiles of 92 inflammatory proteins were measured in the blood of psoriasis patients both before and after treatment with tofacitanib or etanercept. These proteomic profiles were used to develop statistical classifiers for predicting PASI75 responses to tofacitinib and etancercept
Project description:Proteomic profiles of 91 cardiovascular disease proteins were measured in the blood of psoriasis patients both before and after treatment with tofacitanib or etanercept. These proteomic profiles were used to develop statistical classifiers for predicting PASI75 responses to tofacitinib and etancercept
Project description:A gene expression profiling sub-study was conducted in which skin biopsy samples were collected from 85 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were participating in ACCEPT, an IRB-approved Phase 3, multicenter, randomized trial. This analysis identified 4,175 probe-sets as being significantly modulated in psoriasis lesions (LS) compared with matched biopsies of non-lesional (NL) skin.

This analysis identified 4,175 probe-sets as being significantly modulated in psoriasis lesions (LS) compared with matched biopsies of non-lesional (NL) skin. Skin biopsy samples (n=170) were collected at baseline for RNA extraction and microarray analysis from 85 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis without receiving active psoriasis therapy.
Project description:Increasing evidence across malignancies suggests that infiltrating T cells at the site of disease are crucial to tumor control. We hypothesized that marrow-infiltrating immune populations play a critical role in response to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), an established and potentially curative immune therapy whose precise mechanism remains unknown. We therefore analyzed marrow-infiltrating immune populations in 29 patients (22 responders, 7 nonresponders) with relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia who received CD4+ DLI in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying T cell infiltration into bone marrow of responders and nonresponders to DLI. mRNA expression profiling of marrow-infiltrating CD3+ positively selected T cells of 4 responders compared to 2 non-responders, before and after DLI, was performed on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Biopsy specimens were collected from rectal cancer before starting preoperative radiotherapy.The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U95 version 2 arrays.Comparison between the sample groups allow to identify a set of discriminating genes that can be used for characterization of responders and nonresponders to preoperative radiotherapy in rectal cancer. Experiment Overall Design: 35-training and 11-test samples were analyzed
