Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells.Dys-regualtion of the component of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including T-cells and B-cells, and smaller amounts of NK cells and dendritic cells, have all been implicated in this process This study sought to identify T1D associated differently expressed genes in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC).
Project description:Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells. It has been reported that dys-regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) may contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including T1D. This study sought to identify T1D associated miRNAs in the peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC).

Peripheral blood mononuclear of newly diagnosed type1 diabetes patients and normal controls were purified by LymphoprepTm gradient purification according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Axis-Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) for futher microarray analysis.

Project description:Autophagy is a highly conserved degradation pathway whereby not only cytosolic components but also aberrant proteins are sequestered within double-membraned vesicles. Parkinson's disease (PD) is pathologically characterized by accumulation of phosphorylated α-synuclein in the neuronal cytoplasm and its accumulation occurs in the peripheral autonomic nervous system as well as the central nervous system. In the brains of patients with PD, abnormal autophagy is known to occur and be involved with neurodegeneration. To investigate abnormal autophagy in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in the patients with PD, we performed whole transcriptome analysis of PBMC obtained from 9 normal controls and 10 patients with PD.
