Project description:We tested the hypothesis that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) present in plasma might display a specific signature in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Global miRNA profiles were determined with the Agilent Human miRNA Microarray platform, 027233. ICH patients display a characteristic inflammation-related miRNA profile as compared to healthy controls.
Project description:We tested the hypothesis that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) present in plasma might display a specific signature in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Global miRNA profiles were determined with the Agilent Human miRNA Microarray platform, 027233. ICH patients display a characteristic inflammation-related miRNA profile as compared to healthy controls. Plasma samples were collected from the following 6 subject groups: male ICH patients (n=8), female ICH patients (n=7), male healthy control (n=4), female healthy control (n=4), male ischemic stroke patients (n=8) and female ischemic stroke patients (n=8). Total RNAs isolated from 1 ml plasma were pooled for each group. A fixed volume of RNA sample was withdrawn from each pool and used for microarray detection.
Project description:To investigate age-dependent transcriptomic changes between young or aged intracerebral hemorrhage mice, we established collagenase IV-induced intracerebral hemorrhage mice models. Intracerebral hemorrhage was induced by infusion of sterile collagenase IV in ipsilateral caudate putamen of brain. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of brain perihematomal tissues from young or aged ICH mice 24 hours after intracerebral hemorrhage.
Project description:We compare the perihematoma tissues before and after intracerebral hemorrhage in rats. Gene Ontology functional annotation, Protein interaction network analysis, reverse transcription quantitative PCR technology, Western blot technology, immunofluorescence technology and Causal network analysis are used to detect the changes of RET before and after intracerebral hemorrhage and the pathways in which RET might be involved.
Project description:Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents about 15% of all strokes and is associated with high mortality rates. Our aim was to identify the gene expression changes and biological pathways altered in the brain following ICH. Twelve brain samples were obtained from four deceased patients who suffered an ICH including perihematomal tissue (PH) and the corresponding contralateral white (CW) and grey (CG) matter. Brain samples from 4 deceased patients who had a supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage within the previous 4 days were included in the microarray study. This study group included 2 women and 2 men with a median age of 79 (68-92). On autopsy and during macroscopic exam, perihematomal areas suspected to present edema were identified by an experienced neuropathologist using last available neuroradiology images. Samples from perihematomal areas (PH), contralateral grey matter (CG) and contralateral white matter (CW) were obtained within the first 5 h after death and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80ºC until RNA isolation.
