Project description:Investigate gene expression profiles of Liuwei Dihuang Pill treatment postmenopausal osteoporosis with kidney Yin deficiency in peripheral blood Liuwei Dihuang Pill (LDP), a classic Chinese medicinal formula, has been used to treat PMO with kidney YIN deficiency for three months. Whole human genome oligo microarray were applied to explore the differentially expressed genes before and after LDP treatment.
Project description:Investigate genes expression profiles of postmenopausal osteoporosis with kidney Yin deficiency in peripheral blood By TCM syndrome, 10 patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis were divided into three groups: kidney Yin deficiency (n=4), kidney Yang deficiency (n=3), non-kidney deficiency (n=3), another 3 healthy postmenopausal women also were selected as control group. Whole human genome oligo microarray were applied to explore gene expression difference of the groups. Kidney Yin deficiency group was compared with other three groups respectively.

Project description:Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is a disease with a high prevalence in postmenopausal women and is characterized by an imbalance in bone metabolism, reduced bone mass, and increased risk of fracture due to estrogen deficiency. Jiangu granules (JG) is a compound prescription used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat PMOP. We used a 4D label-free quantitative proteomics method to explore the potential therapeutic mechanism of JG in an ovariectomy (OVX) rats’ model.
Project description:Recent studies have shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis, implying potential biomarkers. We performed a microarray-based expression scanning to search for potential circulating miRNA biomarkers for postmenopausal osteoporosis as whole blood obtianed from patients was used. MiRNA expression in the whole blood of 23 Chinese postmenopausal women with osteopenia and that of 25 Chinese postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. After total RNA was extracted, all of the RNA extraction samples were seperately pooled into six subgroups according to the T-score measurement.
