Project description:The expression profiles of lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have not been well researched. Therefore, we identified the lncRNA expression profiles in PBMCs from female patients with RA and explored the possible role of the abundantly expressed lncRNAs in RA.
Project description:To explore markers which predict the efficacy of abatacept in rheumatoid arthritis, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained before abatacept treatment.
Project description:Our goal was to find correlations between gene expression patterns and impaired vascular pathophysiolgy in rheumatoid arthritis Patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited and venous blood samples were collected, then peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated. After RNA isoltaion, we used Affymetrix PrimeView arrays to obtain whole gene expression data.
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:In order to identify new biomarkers for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis, we used circRNA microarray technology to screen the differential expression of circRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We identified a total of 399 differentially expressed circRNAs in RA patients and healthy controls, of which 149 circRNAs were significantly up-regulated in RA patients and 250 were down-regulated. Among them, hsa_circRNA_101328 may be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of RA.
Project description:Factors responsible for radiographic severity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in African-Americans are poorly understood. We sought to examine genes whose expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) is associated with radiographic severity of RA.

Project description:Genome wide microRNA profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and healthy controls. The Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 chip was used to obtain RNA profiles in 28 RA patients and 18 healthy controls.
