Project description:This study examines the relationship between sleep apnea and glucose metabolism. Physiological studies have demonstrated that 5 days of exposure to intermittent hypoxia (similar to what occurs with sleep apnea) leads to significant improvements in glucose tolerance. Therefore, this study investigates the hypothesis that intermittent hypoxia may lead to upregulation of some novel peptide(s) that have a powerful glucose lowering action. Keywords: other
Project description:Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients and healthy subjects. The Illumina Infinium 27k Human DNA methylation Beadchip v1.2 was used to obtain DNA methylation profiles across approximately 27,000 CpGs in peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples. Samples included 8 normal subjects and 16 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

Samples included 8 normal subjects and 16 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Bisulphite converted DNA from the 21 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 27k Human Methylation Beadchip v1.2
Project description:Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disease and a major cause of systemic inflammation leading to neurocognitive, behavioral, metabolic, and cardiovascular dysfunction in children and adults. However, the impact of OSA on the heterogeneity of circulating immune cells remains to be determined. scRNA-seq demonstrated OSA-induced heterogeneity in cellular composition and enabled the identification of previously undescribed cell types in PBMCs.
Project description:Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a frequent respiratory disorder with an estimated prevalence of 3–6% in the general population. However, the underlying pathophysiology of OSA remains unclear. Recently, proteomic analysis using high-resolution and high-throughput mass spectrometry has been widely used in the field of medical sciences. In the present study, tandem mass tags (TMT)-based proteomic analysis was performed in the serum of patients with OSA.
