Project description:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the most common neurological complication of diabetes. More than 500 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) belonging to multiple functional pathways were identified in diabetic spinal cord and of those the most enriched was RAGE-Diaph1 related PI3K-Akt pathway.
Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) after transplantation remains a crucial clinical problem in kidney transplantation. To obtain insights into molecular mechanisms underlying the development of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) and its early impact on glomerular structures, here we comparatively analyze the proteome of histologically normal appearing glomeruli from patients with PTDM from normoglycemic (NG) transplant recipients, and from recipients with pre-existing type 2 DM (PTDM)
Project description:A study of diabetic neuropathy in dorsal root ganglia from streptozotocin-diabetic male wistar rats over the first 8 weeks of diabetes
Project description:Autologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST) was the first therapeutic approaches that can improve beta cell function in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients. This study was designed to investigate the potential mechanisms involved.We applied AHST to nine T1D patients diagnosed within six months and analyzed the acute response in peripheral blood genomic expression profiling at the six-month follow-up. Peripheral blood mononuclear of newly diagnosed type1 diabetes patients at diagnosis and at six months post-transplantation by autologous peripheral stem cell were purified by LymphoprepTm gradient purification according to the manufacturer's instructions (Axis-Shield PoC AS, Oslo, Norway) for futher microarray analysis.
Project description:Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). It is not diagnosed or managed properly in the majority of patients, because its pathogenesis remains controversial. In this study, using microarray-based genome-wide expression analyses, we sought to identify both common and distinct mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of DM and DPN. The results demonstrated that down-regulation of the neurotrophin-MAPK signaling pathway may be the major mechanism of DPN pathogenesis, thus providing a potential approach for DPN treatment.
Project description:Painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) is a common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). As one of the most disturbing symptoms, mechanical allodynia (MA) in PDPN remains largely unexplored. This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing results from rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The goal of this experiment was to investigate the transcriptional changes of distinct cell types in the DRG along MA development.
Project description:Post-transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a known complication of transplantation which affected the prognosis. Tacrolimus (Tac, or FK506) is a widely used immunosuppressant, has been reported as a risk factor for PTDM and further develops complications in heart and skeletal muscle , while the mechanism is still largely unknown. The gene expression of rat muscles of control group and Tac induced PTDM group were analyzed.
Project description:We performed a genome-wide association study using Affymetrix HD-SNP arrays 6.0 to identify risk variants for developing bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BiPN) in 469 multiple myeloma (MM) patients who received bortezomib-dexamethasone (VD) induction therapy prior to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) and conducted validation in an independent cohort of 114 MM patients. We identified one previously unreported gene locus associated with BiPN at 21q22.3 (rs2839629, PKNOX1; OR = 1.89, P= 6.47 x 10-7). PKNOX1 is known to regulate expression of MCP-1, a potent mediator of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. rs2839629 is in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD, r2 = 0.87) with rs915854, localized 6.5kb centromeric to CBS encoding an endogenous H2S-producing enzyme. CBS-H2S signalling pathway is implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of neurodegenerative and inflammatory disorders, and specifically in neuropathy models. Our data provide conclusive evidence for genetic susceptibility to BiPN in MM and new potential targets in neuro-protective strategies of treatment.
Project description:Performing GWAS on multiple myeloma in relation to the development of the toxicity neuropathy. This set was used as validation set. We performed a genome-wide association study using Affymetrix HD-SNP arrays 6.0 to identify risk variants for developing bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BiPN) in 469 multiple myeloma (MM) patients who received bortezomib-dexamethasone therapy prior to autologous stem-cell transplantation and conducted validation in an independent cohort of 116 MM patients. We identified one previously unreported BiPN risk locus at 21q22.3 (rs2839629, PKNOX1; OR = 0.53, 95% CI: [0.40-0.69]). PKNOX1 is known to regulate MCP-1, a potent mediator of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. rs2839629 is in strong linkage disequilibrium ( r2 = 0.87) with rs915854, localized 6.5kb centromeric to CBS encoding endogenous H2S-producing enzyme.
