Human bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells: SLE patients vs normal controls

ABSTRACT: Previous studies showed that bone marrow derived-mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus animal models have deficiency in their capacities of proliferation, differentiation, secretion of cytokines and other functions. In this study, we aim to investigate the different gene patterns of BMMSCs between normal and SLE individuals using genome-scale DNA microarrays. We found that among all the genes investigated in microarray slides, a total of 1, 905 genes were differentially expressed by BMMSCs SLE patients, in which 652 genes were up-regulated and 1253 genes were down-regulated. Gene ontology analysis showed that the majority of these genes were related to cell cycle and protein binding. Pathway analysis showed that differentially regul
