Project description:Bipolar disorder (BD) is a psychiatric disorder in which the core feature is pathological disturbance in mood ranging from extreme elation (mania) to severe depression. Study has shown an aberrant pro-inflammatory status of monocytes/macrophages in mood disorders. Therefore, this study aimed at studying the monocyte compartment in Bipolar Disorder, by transcription profiling of CD14+ monocytes in patients and controls.
Project description:Bipolar disorder is a severe, lifelong psychiatric disease. The main underlying pathophysiology of the disease is still incomprehensible. Many studies have suggested that many genes of small impact in combination with environmental factors contribute to the expression of the disease. In this study comparative transcriptomic profiling to characterize skin fibroblasts gene expression of bipolar disorder patients compared to healthy controls has been performed.
Project description:Emerging high-throughput proteomic technologies have recently been considered as a powerful means of identifying substrates involved in mood disorders. We performed proteomic profiling using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to identify dysregulated proteins in plasma samples of 44, 49, and 50 patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and schizophrenia , respectively, in comparison to 51 healthy controls (HCs).
Project description:Behçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic vasculitis characterized by systemic immune aberrations. However, a comprehensive understanding of the immune disturbances in BD and how they contribute to BD pathogenesis is lacking. Here, we performed single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing to profile peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and isolated monocytes from BD patients and healthy controls. This dataset is the bulk RNA sequencing part (next generation sequencing-based genome-wide transcriptional profiling), which contains the transcriptional profilings of freshly isolated PBMCs from19 samples (10 healthy controls and 9 BD patients).
Project description:Comparitive proteomics analyses of different cell types of blood i.e. platelets, neutrophils, monocytes and CD4 derived from the Gray platelet syndrome patients and their respective controls using TMT10plex reagents.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE5388: Adult postmortem brain tissue (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex) in subjects with bipolar disorder; GSE5389: Adult postmortem brain tissue (ortibtofrontal cortex) in subjects with bipolar disorder; Bipolar affective disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic component but unknown pathophysiology. We used microarray technology (Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips) to determine the expression of approximately 22 000 mRNA transcripts in post-mortem brain tissue (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex) from patients with bipolar disorder and matched healthy controls. Experiment Overall Design: Refer to individual Series
Project description:Transcription profiling by array of mouse male retinas to investigate IGF-I-induced chronic gliosis and retinal stress IGF-I exert multiple effects in different retinal cell populations in both physiological and pathological conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing IGF-I in the retina showed impaired electroretinographic responses at 6-7 months of age that worsen with age. This retinal neuronal dysfunction was correlated with the loss of rod photoreceptors, bipolar, ganglion and amacrines cells. Neuronal alterations were preceded by the overexpression of retinal stress markers, acute phase proteins and gliosis-related genes. IGF-I overexpression leads to chronic gliosis and microgliosis in TgIGF-I retinas, with mild oxidative stress, impaired recycling of glutamate and defective potassium buffering. These impaired supportive functions can contribute to neurodegeneration in TgIGF-I retinas, together with the increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, potential mediators of neuronal death.
Project description:Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder. Another study in BD has shown an aberrant pro-inflammatory status of monocytes/macrophages. Therefore, this study aimed at studying the monocyte compartment in schizophrenia, by transcription profiling of CD14+ monocytes in patients and controls.
Project description:End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease, which is increasingly prevalent worldwide and is associated with the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Despite accumulating evidence that monocytes/macrophages play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CVDs in ESRD patients, the current knowledge of transcriptomic signatures of monocytes or macrophages in ESRD patients is very lacking. Therefore, we investigated the transcriptome profiling of monocyte separated from patients with ESRD and HC. To explore the changes of gene expression in ESRD patient-derived monocytes, compared to monocytes from healthy controls, microarray were performed.
Project description:Bipolar affective disorder is a severe psychiatric disorder with a strong genetic component but unknown pathophysiology. We used microarray technology (Affymetrix HG-U133A GeneChips) to determine the expression of approximately 22 000 mRNA transcripts in post-mortem brain tissue (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex) from patients with bipolar disorder and matched healthy controls. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
