Project description:The transcriptome of PBMC from rheumatoid arthritis patient hasn't been compenhensively profiled, and heterogeneous characteristics of blood monocytes in RA patients are much unknown. We performed the single cell transcriptomic analysis of PBMC from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient, and monocyte populations were extracted during the analysis. CD127 expression associated expression pattern of inflammatory genes was identified in RA patient's blood monocytes.
Project description:To identify susceptibility genes concerning copy number variations (CNVs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a case-control genome-wide CNV analyses was carried out by Roche Nimblegen array-based CGH. In this study, 15 RA patients and 1 control (Non-RA) were included.
Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory joint disease of unknown etiology and pronounced inter-patient heterogeneity. To characterize RA at the molecular level and to uncover key pathomechanisms, we performed whole-genome gene expression analyses. Synovial tissues from rheumatoid arthritis patients were compared to those from osteoarthritis patients and to normal donors. Keywords: disease state analysis Two disease conditions (rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis) in comparison to normal donors were investigated. For the two disease groups samples derived from three individual patients and two pools of patients were hybridised.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic and systemic disease of unknown etiology, is characterized by hyperplasia of synovial cells, which ultimately lead to the destruction of cartilage and bone. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms that lead to RA, we analyzed synovial cells established from patient with RA by oligonucleotide microarrays. Gene expression profiles reveal a novel pathophysiologic function of RA synovial cells as a generator of oxidative stress, and a self-defense mechanism against self-generated oxidative stress. Experiment Overall Design: We isolated synovial cell culture from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Fibroblast from patient with osteoarthritis was used for the reference.

Project description:miRNA differential expression in Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) blood: Microarray analysis of miRNAs in blood from RA and healthy donors.
Project description:Personalized therapy of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on traditional Chinese medicine cold and hot syndromes is selection of the best treatment for an individual patient. Wutou Decoction (WTD) is one of the classic Chinese herbal formulae which achieve favorable therapeutic response in treating RA-cold syndrome. Microarray analysis based on the adjuvant induced arthritis model combined with characteristics of RA and cold/hot syndromes was performed to screen RA-cold and RA-hot-syndrome-related genes, as well as WTD effect genes.
