Project description:Identify biomarkers to predict response to therapy in polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using gene expression microarrays.
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).
Project description:Total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and neutrophils from children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) were separately compared to pediatric control samples. Keywords: pediatric rheumatic disease, blood, PBMC, neutrophil, JIA, JDM

Project description:Identify biomarkers to predict response to therapy in polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using gene expression microarrays. 42 samples from 13 controls, 14 active patients, 9 patients in clinical remission with medication (CRM), and 6 patients in clinical remission without medication (CR). All patients had polyarticular JIA.
Project description:Gene expression on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from SPARKS CHARMS juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) cohort pre and post methotrexate therapy. This is the first study to our knowledge, to evaluate gene expression profiles in children with JIA before and after MTX, and to analyze genetic variation in differentially expressed genes. We have identified a gene, which may contribute to genetic variability in MTX response in JIA.
