Project description:To determine te lncRNA expression profile in collagen-induced arthritis rats and normal rats, we uesed lncRNA microArray analysis form Arraystar to examine the expression of lncRNAs in CIA and normal rats' synovial tissues.
Project description:To examine patterns of gene expression in ankle synovial fluid cells and peripheral blood leukocytes during serum transferred arthritis. A time-course microarray analysis of serum-transferred arthritis was performed, examining ankle tissue, synovial fluid, and peripheral blood leukocytes.
Project description:The destruction of bone and cartilage results in a loss of joint functionality, critically impairing the quality of life in arthritis patients. Synovial fibroblasts (SFs) critically contribute to the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by acquiring either a pro-inflammatory or tissue-destructive phenotype. To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenic fibroblast phenotype in arthritis, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on the synovial cells which were isolated from collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice.
Project description:Pathological bone changes differ considerably between inflammatory arthritic diseases, and most studies have focused on bone erosion. Collagen Induced Arthritis (CIA) is a model for Rheumatoid Arthritis, which, in addition to bone erosion, demonstrates bone formation at the time for clinical manifestations. The objective of this study was to use the CIA model to study bone remodelling by performing a gene expression profiling time-course study on the CIA model.
