Limited systemic sclerosis patients with PAH show biomarkers of inflammation and vascular injury
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Limited systemic sclerosis patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension show biomarkers of inflammation and vascular injury Forty-nine PBMC samples were obtained from 21 lSSc subjects without PAH (lSSc-noPAH), 15 lSSc subjects with PAH (lSSc-PAH), and 10 healthy controls; three subjects provided PBMCs one year later. Genome-wide gene expression was measured for each sample. Gene expression clearly distinguished lSSc samples from healthy controls, and separated lSSc-PAH from lSSc-NoPAH patients. The gene expression and cytokine profiles of lSSc-PAH patients suggest the presence of activated monocytes, and show markers of vascular injury and inflammation.
