Project description:This study aimed to analyze and compare the test transcripts of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from 4 healthy donors and 4 septic patients' whole blood.
Project description:proximal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis were incubated with 5% plasma of septic patients or healthy volunteers diluited in RPMI 1640
Project description:To determine LncRNA transcribed in PBMCs, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify LncRNA expression in PBMCs donated by patients of asthma and healthy volunteers.
Project description:To examine if gene expression profiles of many Behçet’s disease (BD) patients are commonly abnormal compared to those of healthy volunteers, we performed a genome-wide complementary DNA microarray analysis using an Agilent Hu44K array; RNA samples were isolated from the PBMCs of 41 individual BD patients (32 females and 9 males) and 17 normal volunteers.
Project description:The differential expression of plasma miRNAs was analyzed in spinal tuberculosis patients and healthy volunteers using the Exiqon miRNA PCR array platform.
Project description:Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease manifesting primarily as dryness of eyes and mouth. In this study, we compared gene expression in PBMCs between age- and gender-matched patients with Sjögren's syndrome (diagnosed by ACR criteria) and healthy controls. Cells were collected in heparinized tubes and PBMCs were prepared using Ficoll.
Project description:Comprehensively compare the transcriptional difference in PPD stimulated PBMCs from individuals with different tuberculosis infectious status: tuberculosis patients, latent infectious individuals and healthy controls using the microarray analysis. Two-condition experiment, PBMCs vs. PPD-PBMCs. 12 individuals: 4 TB patients, 4 latent infectious individuals and 4 healthy controls.
Project description:Background: As early and appropriate care of severe septic patients is associated with better outcome, understanding of very first events in the disease process is needed. Pan-genomic analyses offer an interesting opportunity to study global genomic response within the very first hours after sepsis. The objective of this study was to investigate the systemic genomic response in severe Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and determine whether patterns of gene expression could be associated with clinical severity evaluated by severity score. Methods: Twenty-eight ICU patients were enrolled at the onset of septic shock. Blood samples were collected within 30 minutes, 24 and 48 hours after shock and genomic response was evaluated using microarrays. The genome wide expression pattern of blood leukocytes was sequentially compared to healthy volunteers and after stratification based on SAPSII score to identify potential mechanisms of dysregulation. Results: Septic shock induces a global reprogramming of the whole leukocyte transcriptome affecting multiple functions and pathways (> 71% of the whole genome was modified). Most altered pathways were not significantly different between SAPSII-high and SAPSII-low groups of patients. However the magnitude and the duration of these alterations were different between these two groups. Importantly, we observed that the more severe patients did not exhibit the strongest modulation. This indicates that some regulation mechanisms leading to recovery seem to take place at early stage. Conclusion: In conclusion, both pro- and anti-inflammatory processes, measured at the transcriptomic level, are induced within the very first hours after septic shock. Interestingly, the more severe patients did not exhibit the strongest modulation. This highlights that, not only the responses mechanisms by themself but mainly their early and appropriate regulation, are crucial for patient recovery. This reinforces the idea that an immediate and tailored aggressive care of patients, aimed at restoring an appropriately regulated immune response, may have a beneficial impact on outcome. Twenty-eight ICU patients were enrolled at the onset of septic shock. Blood samples were collected within 30 minutes, 24 and 48 hours after septic shock and compared to twenty-five healthy volunteers
Project description:Sjögren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease manifesting primarily as dryness of eyes and mouth. In this study, we compared gene expression in PBMCs between age- and gender-matched patients with Sjögren's syndrome (diagnosed by ACR criteria) and healthy controls. Cells were collected in heparinized tubes and PBMCs were prepared using Ficoll. Eleven patients with Sjögren's syndrome and 16 healthy controls were analyzed for expression of TRIM21, IRF1, IRF2, IRF4 and IRF8.
