Project description:Transcriptome comparison of glomeruli from kidneys with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and glomeruli from the unaffected portion of tumor nephrectomies. High-density Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Arrays (HTA) 2.0 were used for the gene expression analysis.
Project description:Transcriptome comparison of tubular tissues from kidneys with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and tubular tissues from the unaffected portion of tumor nephrectomies. High-density Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Arrays (HTA) 2.0 were used for the gene expression analysis.
Project description:Transcriptome comparison of tubulointerstitial tissues from kidneys with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and tubulointerstitial tissues from the unaffected portion of surgical nephrectomies. High-density Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Arrays (HTA) 2.0 were used for the gene expression analysis.
Project description:To search for biomarkers to differentiate Adult-Onset Steroid Sensitive focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and minimal change disease (MCD). Compared the profiles of glomerular transcriptomes between patients with FSGS and patients with MCD using microarray analysis. This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.
Project description:We performed a genomewide differential gene expression analysis by Ion AmpliSeqTM Transcriptome sequencing that targets more than 20,000 human genes to gain insights into the genes and pathways involved in the onset of familial steroid-resistant Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) driven by the presence of a heterozygous mutation in the PAX2 gene (PAX2G189R/+). Using a stepwise protocol, we differentiated control and PAX2G189R/+ induced pluripotent stem cells into podocytes and we performed whole-transcriptomic analysis on control and patient cells on days 6, 13 and 18 of differentiation. Our data indicated that the PAX2 mutation mainly affects the focal adhesion pathway and the expression of IGF1, a PAX2 target, in adult podocytes that are more susceptible to cell death by environmental triggers.
