Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells.Dys-regualtion of the component of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including T-cells and B-cells, and smaller amounts of NK cells and dendritic cells, have all been implicated in this process This study sought to identify T1D associated differently expressed genes in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). Peripheral blood mononuclear of newly diagnosed type1 diabetes patients and normal controls were purified by LymphoprepTm gradient purification according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Axis-Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) for futher microarray analysis.
Project description:Genome-Scale draft model for Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs). A GEM for PBMCs was developed by applying the INIT
algorithm on Human Metabolic Reconstruction (HMR 2.0) as a template model. GEMs were contextualised/ constrained for different conditions using expression datasets. The gene/transcript expression data obtained from PBMCs of Type 1 Diabetes progressors, non-progressors, and healthy controls were employed to score each reaction of HMR 2.0.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells. It has been reported that dys-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including T1D. This study sought to identify T1D associated miRNAs in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). Peripheral blood mononuclear of newly diagnosed type1 diabetes patients and normal controls were purified by LymphoprepTm gradient purification according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions (Axis-Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) for futher microarray analysis.
Project description:Improving the early diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D) can effectively control blood glucose. To investigate new long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) as molecular markers we used microarrays to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from T2D patients and controls.
Project description:The complex milieu of inflammatory mediators associated with many diseases is often too dilute to directly measure in the periphery, necessitating development of more sensitive measurements suitable for mechanistic studies, earlier diagnosis, guiding selection of therapy, and monitoring interventions. Previously, we determined that plasma of recent-onset (RO) Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients induce a proinflammatory transcriptional signature in fresh peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) relative to that of unrelated healthy controls (HC). Here, using an optimized cryopreserved PBMC-based protocol, we compared the signature found between unrelated healthy controls and patients with bacterial pneumonia.

Here, using an optimized cryopreserved PBMC-based protocol, we apply this approach to inflammatory bowel disease by examining groups of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitus (UC) patients. The induced plasma induced signatures are compared to those of Type 1 diabetes patients (RO T1D) as well as unrelated healthy controls (uHC).
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes of the dynamic gene profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with AECOPD) on day1, 3 and 10, compared to the normal people and stable COPD patients. A five chip study using total RNA recovered from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell of Peripheral Blood.Evaluating the dynamic gene profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with AECOPD) on day1, 3 and 10 after the hospital admission, to compared with healthy controls or patients with stable COPD. Slides were scanned at 5 μm/pixel resolution using an Axon GenePix 4000B scanner (Molecular Devices Corporation) piloted by GenePix Pro 6.0 software (Axon). Scanned images (TIFF format) were then imported into NimbleScan software (version 2.5) for grid alignment and expression data analysis. Expression data were normalized through quantile normalization and the Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm included in the NimbleScan software. The Probe level (*_norm_RMA.pair) files and Gene level (*_RMA.calls) files were generated after normalization.
