Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease and its underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Previously a CD4 T-cell microarray study has only focused arthritis patients. We aimed to compare the molecular profiles of active RA versus healthy control in CD4 T cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in active RA and healthy control.
Project description:The expression of 723 mature miRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with early, active psoriatic arthritis ,early-rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) (both groups treatment naïve) and of healthy controls (HC) was analysed using a miRNA microarray.
Project description:We screened the differential expressed microRNA from the rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy person in their hydrops articuli CD4+ T cells. We screened the differential expressed microRNA from the rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthy person in their hydrops articuli CD4+ T cells. 1.Isolated the CD4+ T cells from the hydrops articuli cells of 2 rheumatoid arthritis patients. 2.Isolated the CD4+ T cells from healthy person's peripheral blood as control. 3.Isolation of total RNA from CD4+ T cells then sent the samples to KangChen Bio-tech Inc (Shanghai, China) where they were labeled, hybridized, scaned, normalied and transformed to the final data.
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).
