Project description:The gole of this study was to determine whether circulaitng miRNAs could be used as candidate miRNAs of SLE . In this study a miRNA profile was used to determine aberrant expressed circulating miRNAs in patients with system lupus erythematosus (SLE), compared with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and healthy control (HCs). To further confirm these microarray data, we identify 8 miRNAs (miR-126, miR-21, miR-451, miR-223, miR-16, miR-125a-3p,miR-155,miR-146a) by real-time quantitative PCR in 20 healthy controls and in 55 cases, of whom 30 were diagnosed with SLE and 25 were diagnosed RA. Using microarray-based expression profiling follwed by real-time quantitative polymerase Cycle Reaction (RT-qPCR)validation, we compared the levels of circulating miRNAs in plasma sample from SLE patients, RA patients, and healthy controls

Project description:Rationale: Currently, there are no blood-based biomarkers with clinical utility for acute ischemic stroke (IS). microRNAs (miRNAs) show promise as disease markers due to their cell-type specific expression patterns and stability in peripheral blood. Objective: To identify circulating miRNAs associated with acute IS, determine their temporal course up to 90 days post-stroke, and explore their utility as an early diagnostic marker. Methods and Results: We used RNA sequencing to study expression changes of circulating miRNAs in a discovery sample of 20 IS patients and 20 matched healthy control subjects (HCs). We further applied qRT-PCR in independent samples for validation (40 IS patients and 40 matched controls), replication (200 IS patients, 100 HCs), and in 72 patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Sampling of patient plasma was done immediately upon hospital arrival. We identified, validated, and replicated three differentially expressed miRNAs, which were upregulated in IS patients compared to both HCs (miR-125a-5p [1.8-fold; P=1.5x10-6], miR-125b-5p [2.5-fold; P=5.6x10-6], and miR-143-3p [4.8-fold; P=7.8x10-9]) and TIA patients (miR-125a-5p: P=0.003, miR-125b-5p: P=0.003, miR-143-3p: P=0.005). Longitudinal analysis of expression levels up to 90 days after stroke revealed a normalization to control levels for miR-125b-5p and miR-143-3p starting at day two, while miR-125a-5p remained elevated. Levels of all three miRNAs depended on platelet numbers in a platelet spike-in experiment, but were unaffected by chemical hypoxia in N2a cells and in experimental stroke models. In a random forest classification, miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p and miR-143-3p differentiated between HCs and IS patients with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.90 (sensitivity: 85.6%; specificity: 76.3%), which was superior to multimodal cranial computed tomography obtained for routine diagnostics (sensitivity: 72.5%) and previously reported biomarkers of acute IS (neuron specific enolase: AUC=0.69, interleukin 6: AUC=0.82). Conclusions: A set of circulating miRNAs (miR-125a-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-143-3p) associates with acute IS and might have clinical utility as an early diagnostic marker.

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic and heterogeneous autoimmune disease for which its treatment and phosphorylation-dependent regulatory mechanism remain elusive. Here, we aim to explore the molecular mechanism of phosphorylation regulation for SLE. We employed high-throughput Phosphoproteomics of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 126 patients with SLE remission stage (SLE_S), 70 patients with SLE active stage (SLE_A), 160 patients with RA, and 135 healthy controls (HC). An independent cohort that included 60 SLE_S, 35 SLE_A, 50 RA and 40 HC was used to validate the phosphosites via parallel reaction monitoring (PRM). We revealed upregulated pathways involved in cell adhesion and migration in patients with SLE (SLE_S and SLE_A) compared with HCs and RA. Expression pattern clustering analysis revealed several specifically upregulated phosphosites, and the leukocyte transendothelial migration was specifically enriched in SLE_A. We predicted several key kinases including MAP3Ks, MAP2Ks, IKKB and TBK1, and found that upregulated kinase activity is associated with increased phosphorylation of VCL, TLN1 and VAPB by kinases-substrate network analysis. These phosphorylated proteins also regulate the pathways related to cell adhesion and migration, and which have not been implicated in previous studies of SLE. Moreover, we validated these phosphosites with the same trend as 4D-LFQ data, including LCP1 S5, TLN1 S1201, TLN1 S1225, VCL S275 and VCL S579. In summary, the present study elucidates the changes of phosphosites, kinases and pathways in SLE, and may provide potentially novel targets for further mechanism exploration.

Project description:Disturbed expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulatory T-cells (Tregs) leads to development of autoimmunity in experimental mouse models. However, the miRNA expression signature characterizing Tregs of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been determined yet. Moreover, the technical limitations prevented the analysis of such minute T-cell population as naive and memory Tregs. In this study we have used a microarray approach to comprehensively analyze miRNA expression signatures of naive Tregs (CD4+CD45RO-CD25++), memory Tregs (CD4+CD45RO+CD25+++), as well as conventional naive (CD4+CD45RO-CD25-) and memory (CD4+CD45RO+CD25-) T-cells (Tconvs) derived from peripheral blood of RA patients, and matched healthy controls. Differential expression of selected miRNAs was validated by TaqMan-based qRT-PCR. We found a positive correlation between increased expression of miR-451 in T-cells of RA patients and disease activity score (DAS28), ESR levels, and serum levels of IL-6. Moreover, we found characteristic, disease and treatment independent, global miRNA expression signatures defining naive Tregs, memory Tregs, naive Tconvs and memory Tconvs. The analysis allowed us to define miRNAs characteristic for a general naive phenotype (e.g. miR-92a), a general memory phenotype (e.g. miR-21, miR-155), and most importantly miRNAs specifically expressed in both naive and memory Tregs, defining as such the Treg phenotype (i.e. miR-146a, miR-3162, miR-1202, miR-1246a, and miR-4281). MicroRNA profiling was performed in four CD4+ T-cell subsets: naive Tconventional (CD3+CD8-CD45RO-CD25-), naive Tregulatory (CD3+CD8-CD45RO-CD25+), memory Tconventional (CD3+CD8-CD45RO+CD25-), and memory Tregulatory (CD3+CD8-CD45RO+CD25+) derived from 2 healthy controls, and 6 rheumatoid arthritis patients (total n=8).

Project description:Our study was designed to identify plasma miRNAs specific for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by a comprehensive array approach. We performed a array-based miRNA analysis on plasma samples from three RA patients and three healthy controls (HCs). TaqMan Low-Density Array (TLDA) using human miRNA version 3.0A and version 2.0B cards (Applied Biosystems) were applied to examine the global change of miRNA expression levels in plasma from patients with RA and healthy controls. A total of 756 mature miRNA updated in the Sanger miRBase v.15.0 were quantified according to the manufacturer's instructions as previously described. Normalization was carried out with the average Ct value of all miRNAs. Relative quantification of miRNA expression was calculated with the 2−ΔΔCt Ct method. The data was presented as log10 of the relative quantity of each miRNA.
