Project description:Gene expression profiling of BMMC from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) vs. osteoarthritis (OA). Bone marrow was obtained from patients with RA (n=9) or OA (n=10). The bone marrow samples from the 10 OA patients are used as controls.
Project description:We used single cell RNA sequencing to profile the immune cell repertoire of tumor tissue, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) from distal bone and cranial (skull) bone from human treatment-naive glioblastoma patients. For comparison, we obtained and analyzed control samples (cranial bone and PBMC) from human non-malignant intracranial disease.
Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory joint disease of unknown etiology and pronounced inter-patient heterogeneity. To characterize RA at the molecular level and to uncover key pathomechanisms, we performed whole-genome gene expression analyses. Synovial tissues from rheumatoid arthritis patients were compared to those from osteoarthritis patients and to normal donors. Keywords: disease state analysis Two disease conditions (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) in comparison to normal donors were investigated. For the two disease groups samples derived from three individual patients and two pools of patients were hybridised.
Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic and systemic disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by hyperplasia of synovial cells, which ultimately lead to the destruction of cartilage and bone. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that lead to RA, we analyzed synovial cells established from patient with RA by oligonucleotide microarrays. Gene expression profiles reveal a novel pathophysiologic function of RA synovial cells as a generator of oxidative stress, and a self-defense mechanism against self-generated oxidative stress. Experiment Overall Design: We isolated synovial cell culture from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Fibroblast from patient with osteoarthritis was used for the reference.
Project description:Murine bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) were infected for 4 h with Salmonella Typhimurium SL1344 wildtype (WT) and S.Tm ∆invG to explore BMMC mRNA expression levels upon infection and the role of type-3-secretion-system mediated invasion.
Project description:Characterize active synovial fluid (SF) serine proteinases in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in comparison to osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Project description:We used the m6A-circRNA epitranscriptomic microarray to measure the m6A methylated quantities and levels of circRNAs in the synovial tissues of human rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Project description:Transcriptomics of distinct subpopulations of synovial fibroblasts from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis arthroplasty tissues.
