Project description:RNAs can provide abundant pathological information regarding etiology and could include candidate biomarkers for diagnosis of tuberculosis.Our study focused on RNA expression profiles. The purpose of our study is characterized the RNA profiles of tuberculosis patients and identified significant lncRNAs, circRNA and mRNA associated with tuberculosis as diagnostic biomarkers and treatment target.
Project description:Purpose: To investigate the role and mechanism of microRNAs in tuberculosis. Methods: microRNAs sequencing were performed to screen differential expressed microRNAs in PBMC specimen between tuberculosis patients and normal volunteers. Results: A total of 1560 distinct microRNAs were identified in these samples, and 788 of these microRNAs were upregulated and 772 microRNAs were downregulated. Overall design: Tuberculosis differential expression Profiles of microRNAs in PBMC were generated by high throughput sequencing, using Illumina Hiseq2000/2500.
Project description:Analysis of PBMC from 10 week old infants vaccinated with BCG at birth. During follow-up 26 infants developed tuberculosis (TB) (non-protected by BCG) and 20 infants did not develop TB despite documented exposure (protected by BCG). PBMC were stimulated with media only or reconstituted BCG for 4 and 12 hours. Results provide insight into the mechanisms behind the failure of BCG to protect against disease.
Project description:The goal of this study is to investigate the secretion from human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell, which effect to peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of co-cultured PBMC without human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines and co-cultured PBMC with human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines were generated datas by microarray technology. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 850,000 CpGs in enhancer regions, gene bodies, promoters and CpG islands. Samples included duplicate PBMC of female control, duplicate PBMC of male control, duplicate PBMC of female were co-cultured with HT29, and duplicate PBMC of male were co-cultured with SW480.
Project description:Tuberculosis Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (TB-IRIS) frequently complicates combined anti-retroviral therapy (ART) and anti-tubercular therapy in HIV-1 co-infected tuberculosis (TB) patients. The immunopathological mechanism underlying TB-IRIS is incompletely defined. Differential transcript abundance in PBMC from IRIS and control patients stimulated with heat killed H37Rv was determined by microarray
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of PBMC from South African patients either infected with HIV only or coinfected with HIV and tuberculosis (TB). The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles from PBMC samples. Samples included 19 HIV patients and 20 HIV/TB co-infected patients.

The immunopathological mechanism underlying TB-IRIS is incompletely defined. Differential transcript abundance in PBMC from IRIS and control patients stimulated with heat killed H37Rv was determined by microarray Blood samples were collected during longitudinal observational studies of TB-IRIS patients and controls (both groups HIV-infected patients placed on antiretroviral treatment). PBMC were stimulated with heat killed H37Rv and RNA extracted.
