Project description:LC-MS/MS data obtained from subglottic biopsies collected from 12 individuals with idiopathic subglottic stenosis, as well as 3 age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-matched controls. All tissue donors were women of White race and non-Latino or Hispanic ethnicity. Sample preparation, mass spectrometry, and data analysis details are available in the published article.
Project description:To examine molecular mechanisms of aortic valve stenosis in mice with hypertension and hypercholesterolemia, RNA-Seq was used during the developmental phase of stenosis to identify new gene targets.
Project description:Idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH) is characterized by portal hypertension due to obstruction or stenosis of the intrahepatic peripheral portal branches. Researchers have suggested that IPH may be attributed to intrahepatic peripheral portal vein thrombosis, splenic factors, abnormal autoimmunity, and related factors, however, the etiology of IPH remains unclear. We used microarrays to identify the functions of genes expressed in blood samples from patients with IPH.

We used microarrays to identify the functions of genes expressed in blood samples from patients with IPH. In order to examine the specific expression of genes in patients with IPH, we analyzed blood samples from three patients with IPH and three healthy volunteers as control using DNA microarrays.
Project description:We compared 15 severely diseased aortic valve sample to 16 control aortic valve samples using microRNA microarrays (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 2.0). The diseased samples were taken from areas of severe disease of aortic valves removed at aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis. Control samples were obtained from macroscopically normal post-mortem aortic valves. In addition, we compared areas of mild or moderate disease on valves from participants with severe aortic stenosis to the same participant's severely diseased sample in seven participants.
