Project description:Diabetic keratopathy(DK) is a common ocular complication of diabetes that seriously threatens diabetic patients' vision. Here, by sequencing of microRNAs (miRNAs) from diabetic and normal TG tissues, we aimed to uncover potential miRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic corneal neuropathy.
Project description:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathy, and have considerable morbidity, which occurs in approximately 50% of diabetic patients. Here, we performed scRNA-seq technology using 10× Genomics sequencing on DRG tissues isolated from control and DPN rats, to identify the cell type composition of DRG, and to reveal the roles of different cell types in mediating DPN.
Project description:A study of diabetic neuropathy in dorsal root ganglia from streptozotocin-diabetic male wistar rats over the first 8 weeks of diabetes
Project description:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common neurological complication of diabetes. More than 500 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) belonging to multiple functional pathways were identified in diabetic spinal cord and of those the most enriched was RAGE-Diaph1 related PI3K-Akt pathway.
Project description:To explore the unique pathogenesis of DCM and analyzed the differences in gene expression, associated pathways and immune cell infiltration among different organs that are targeted by high glucose by bioinformatics-based strategy. In order to find the specific factors that trigger DCM, we contrasted the gene profile of DCM to that of other diabetic diseases including diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and nephropathy (DN). we performed RNA-seq and miRNA sequencing on heart tissue from db/db mice to explore the transcriptome alterations in DCM pathogenesis including lncRNA, miRNA and mRNA.
Project description:DNA methylation is a key epigenetic regulator of mammalian embryogenesis and somatic cell differentiation. Using high-resolution genome-scale maps of methylation patterns, we show that the formation of myelin in the peripheral nervous system, proceeds with progressive DNA demethylation, which coincides with an upregulation of critical genes of the myelination process. More importantly, we found that, in addition to expression of DNA methyltransferases and demethylases, the levels of S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), the principal biological methyl donor, could also play a critical role in regulating DNA methylation during myelination and in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy. In summary, this study provides compelling evidence that SAMe levels need to be tightly controlled to prevent aberrant DNA methylation patterns, and together with recently published studies on the influence of SAMe on histone methylation in cancer and embryonic stem cell differentiation show that in diverse biological processes, the methylome, and consequently gene expression patterns, are critically dependent on levels of SAMe. DNA methylome maps of developmental Schwann cell myelination, GNMT-KO and diabetic mice were generated by Reduced-Representation Bisulfite Sequencing, with 2-3 replicates per sample group.
Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases around the world, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common complications of DM. We used microarrays to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) tissues from streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, taking normal SD rats as controls, and tried to find out the related genes which may be involved in the development of DPN.
Project description:Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). As one of the most disturbing symptoms, mechanical allodynia (MA) in PDPN remains largely unexplored. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing results from rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The goal of this experiment was to investigate the transcriptional changes of distinct cell types in the DRG along MA development.

Project description:Human patients were enrolled in a weight loss clinic and followed. Patients were male and female, normoglycemic,pre-diabetic and diabetic and with and without neuropathy.
