Project description:Our goal was to find correlations between gene expression patterns and impaired vascular pathophysiolgy in rheumatoid arthritis Patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited and venous blood samples were collected, then peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated. After RNA isoltaion, we used Affymetrix PrimeView arrays to obtain whole gene expression data.
Project description:CD14+ monocytes sorted from the synovial fluid or peripheral blood of rheumatoid arthritis patients were analyzed by full transcriptome microarray analysis. Monocytes from healthy control samples (peripheral blood) were also profiled.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of peripheral blood cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)/ systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/ polyarticular type juvenile idiopathic arthritis (polyJIA)/ systemic-onset JIA (sJIA) vs healthy children (HC) and healthy individual (HI).
