Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize the transcriptional effects induced by intramuscular IFN-beta-1a treatment (Avonex, 30 µg once weekly) in patients with relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS). By using Affymetrix DNA microarrays, we obtained genome-wide expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 24 MS patients within the first four weeks of IFN-beta administration. Keywords: Multiple sclerosis, Interferon, Pharmacogenomics, Affymetrix EDTA blood samples were taken from all patients immediately before first, second and fifth IFN-beta injection. Total RNA of Ficoll-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from each sample was extracted, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 A and B arrays to quantify the mRNA levels.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize the transcriptional effects induced by subcutaneous IFN-beta-1b treatment (Betaferon, 250 µg every other day) in patients with relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS). By using Affymetrix DNA microarrays, we obtained genome-wide expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 25 MS patients within the first two years of IFN-beta administration. EDTA blood samples were drawn from all patients immediately before first, second, month 1, 12, and 24 IFN-beta injection. Total RNA of Ficoll-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from each sample was extracted, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 A and B arrays to quantify the mRNA levels.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression dynamics of mRNAs and microRNAs in response to subcutaneous IFN-beta-1b treatment (Betaferon, 250 µg every other day) in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) suggestive of multiple sclerosis (MS) or relapsing-remitting type of the disease (RRMS). By using Affymetrix microarrays, we obtained microRNA expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 3 MS patients within the first month of IFN-beta treatment. EDTA blood samples were taken from all patients immediately before first IFN-beta injection as well as after 1 month. Total RNA of Ficoll-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from each sample was extracted, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 2.0 arrays to quantify the expression of small non-coding RNA transcripts. This GEO entry provides the GeneChip miRNA 2.0 microarray data.

By using Affymetrix microarrays, we obtained gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 6 MS patients within the first month of IFN-beta treatment. EDTA blood samples were taken from all patients immediately before first, second and third IFN-beta injection as well as after 1 month. Total RNA of Ficoll-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from each sample was extracted, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays to quantify the mRNA levels. This GEO entry provides the U133 Plus 2.0 microarray data.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Using 150 Affymetrix HTA 2.0 microarrays, we profiled the gene expression of 5 cell populations of the peripheral blood from patients with multiple sclerosis in the course of fingolimod treatment.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to characterize the transcriptional effects induced by subcutaneous IFN-beta-1a treatment (Rebif, 22 µg or 44 µg three times a week) in patients with relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis (MS). By using Affymetrix DNA microarrays, we obtained genome-wide expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 12 MS patients within the first two years of IFN-beta administration. EDTA blood samples were taken from all patients immediately before first and second IFN-beta injection as well as after 1 month, 1 year and 2 years. Total RNA of Ficoll-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from each sample was extracted, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays to quantify the mRNA levels.
