Project description:XCR1+ Dendritic Cell-Induced CD4+ T Helper-1 Activation Leads to Exacerbation of Remodeling after Myocardial Infarction (T cell research)
Project description:Th1 is the predominant phenotype during the early stage of MI. XCR1+ cDC1 activated CXCR3+ Th1 could be a novel therapeutic target for ischemic cardiac remodeling.

Project description:Affymetrix microarray analysis of molecular changes after myocardial infarction. Samples of heart tissue were analyzed after myocardial infarction from WT and reg3beta knock-out mice. Samples from scar tissue and samples adjacent to the scar were analyzed. In the experiment we primarily compared infarction zone of wild-type to infarction zone of knock-out animals, and remote zone of wild-type to remote zone of knock-outs.
Project description:Despite a substantial progress in diagnosis and therapy, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality in the general population. A novel insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction obtained by studying gene expression should help to discover novel biomarkers of MI and to suggest novel strategies of therapy. The aim of our study was to establish gene expression patterns in leukocytes from acute myocardial infarction patients. ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction alters expression of several groups of genes. On admission, several genes and pathways that could be directly or indirectly linked with lipid/glucose metabolism, platelet function and atherosclerotic plaque stability were affected (signaling of PPAR, IL-10, IL-6). Analysis at discharge highlighted specific immune response (upregulation of immunoglobulins). Highly significant and substantial upregulation of SOCS3 and FAM20 genes expression in the first 4-6 days of myocardial infarction in all patients is the most robust observation of our work Twenty-eight patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were included. The blood was collected on the 1st day of myocardial infarction, after 4-6 days, and after 6 months. Control group comprised 14 patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), without history of myocardial infarction. Gene expression analysis was performed with Affymetrix GeneChipM-BM-. Human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays and GCS3000 TG system.
Project description:Comparison of both LncRNAs and mRNAs expression in the border zone of the myocardial infarction rats and the sham operation rats Border zone (BZ) of the myocardial infarction is critical to patients. Current treatments of myocardial infarction are primarily aimed to save the dying myocardial cell in the border zone. During myocardial infarction, certain changes in BZ, e.g, apoptosis, fibrosis, inflammation, etc, played an important role in deciding the survival. Impairment and recovery of BZ has been linked to gene expression changes. The aim of our study was to obtain a global expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs of the border zone in Wistar rats myocardial infarction, and identify the changes during myocardial infarction.
