Project description:Viruses in acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis Keywords: viral detection BAL from patients with acute exacerbations of IPF and stable IPF were hybridized to a pan-viral cDNA microarray to evaluate the presence of virus during these episodes
Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profile in lungs from dogs with spontaneous canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and from control dogs with histologically normal lungs.
Project description:Tissue fibrosis is a common pathological outcome of chronic disease that markedly impairs organ function leading to morbidity and mortality. In the lung, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an insidious and fatal interstitial lung disease associated with declining pulmonary function. Single cell RNA sequencing was used to map epithelial cell types of the normal human airway and alveolaor as well as IPF explant tissue.
Project description:There is microscopic spatial and temporal heterogeneity of pathologic changes in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lung tissue, which may relate to heterogeneity in pathophysiological mediators of disease and clinical progression. We measured gene expression in samples from lung biopsies or explants in order to assess relationships with pathological features and systemic biomarkers. RNA was extracted directly from lung tissue samples from 40 IPF patients or 8 healthy controls.
Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by patchy scarring of the distal lung with limited therapeutic options and poor prognosis. Here, we show that conditional deletion of the ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-2 in lung epithelial cells in adult mice produces chronic lung disease that shares key features with IPF including progressive fibrosis and bronchiolization with increased expression of Muc5b in peripheral airways, honeycombing and characteristic alterations in the lung proteome
Project description:The study aimed to compare the gene expression profiles at a single cell level in bronchial brush cells between patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and disease controls.
Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal fibrotic lung disease characterized by enhanced fibroblast proliferation, collagen synthesis, extracellular matrix deposition. We obtained 28 IPF patient lung tissue samples from the Lung Tissue Research Consortium (LTRC). Here we determined the miRNA expression profiles in these IPF lung samples.
