Project description:Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HDMECs) were isolated via the magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) method from skin biopsies of patients with DFUs and healthy controls. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of these cells.
Project description:The aim of this study was to find disease-associated genes in atopic eczema. Experiment Overall Design: Skin biopsies were analyzed from ten patients with active atopic eczema and ten healthy controls.
Project description:The purpose of this study was to use global gene expression analysis to determine major functional pathways and genes dysregulated in the skin of active rashes of dermatomyositis patients. These data will be used to help assign a diagnosis to skin biopsies from patients with rashes that are not clearly dermatomyositis. In addition, we will correlate gene expression changes with specific histopathologic changes in skin biopsies that are taken adjacent to those analyzed for gene expression analysis. Finally, these data will be used to search for genes and pathways that are associated with clinical outcomes and autoantibody status in this cohort of patients. Gene expression profiling of healthy donor and dermatomyositis patient skin biopsy specimens.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of colon epithelial biopsies from ulcerative colitis patients and healthy control donors. Study aims to survey and analyze variation from disease in different GI regions. Keywords: disease state analysis Biopsies from a variety of anatomic locations, from patients of various treatment status or healthy controls.
Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate differential intestinal gene expression in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and controls. 172 biopsies from CD and control subjects were studied. Endoscopic biopsies were taken at ileocolonoscopy from five specific anatomical locations including the terminal ileum for RNA extraction. Biopsies from one of four anatomic locations, from healthy controls and treated (with non-biologic standard of care) or untreated CD patients.
Project description:We identified zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (ZAG), a 41-kDa adipokine that regulates body weight, lipid, and mobilization, as a novel biomarker for AD. ZAG levels were consistently decreased in sera, T cells, and skin in human AD patients compared with healthy controls. We used microarrays to obtain the data of expressions of ZAG between human healthy controls and atopic patients skin.
