Project description:We carried out a case control study in an attempt to identify changes in circulating microRNAs in patients with intracranial aneurysms (IAs). We selected 40 cases (20 ruptured and 20 unruptured) and 20 healthy controls. We randomly selected 5 samples from each group and combined them into a sample pool. In this way we obtained 12 sample pools and one pool was used for a single microarray. Changes in microRNA levels in the plasma were surveyed with Agilent Human microRNA Microarray (Release 14.0, 8x15K). We identified 20 microRNAs that were unanimously changed in both ruptured and unruptured patients.
Project description:Based on sequencing technology to evaluate the differential lncRNA and mRNA expression of intracranial aneurysms. Provide ideas for the study of epigenetic regulation of intracranial aneurysms
Project description:The primary aim of the present study was to identify differences on the transcription level between ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms as well as normal intracranial arteries in human. Keywords: Expression profiling by array Global gene expression profiling was performed in human intracranial aneurysms both ruptured (n=8) and unruptured (n=6) as well as in control intracranial arteries (middle meningeal artery, MMA; n=5) using oligonucleotide microarrays.
Project description:The biological mechanisms by which cerebral aneurysms emerge, enlarge and rupture are not totally understood. In the present study, we analyzed the genome-wide gene expression profile in human intracranial aneurysms using cDNA microarrays. Intracranial arterial aneurysm samples (n = 3) and normal superficial temporal artery samples (control, n = 3) were obtained from individual subjects. All aneurysm samples were unruptured aneurysms confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Image or Digital Subtraction Angiography. Affymetrix HU133 Plus 2.0 microarrays were used to compare gene expression levels between aneurismal and normal blood vessels.
