Project description:Identify biomarkers to predict response to therapy in polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) using gene expression microarrays. 42 samples from 13 controls, 14 active patients, 9 patients in clinical remission with medication (CRM), and 6 patients in clinical remission without medication (CR). All patients had polyarticular JIA.
Project description:Total RNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and neutrophils from children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) were separately compared to pediatric control samples. Keywords: pediatric rheumatic disease, blood, PBMC, neutrophil, JIA, JDM

Project description:Gene expression profiling of peripheral blood cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)/ systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/ polyarticular type juvenile idiopathic arthritis (polyJIA)/ systemic-onset JIA (sJIA) vs healthy children (HC) and healthy individual (HI).
Project description:Analysis of neutrophil proteomic alterations induced by migration towards inflamed joints in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). In this experiment neutrophil proteomes were investigated after migration towards JIA synovial fluid in an in vitro model of a synovial membrane, compared to neutrophils incubated in synovial fluid without migration. The migration model consisted of transwell inserts with human knee synoviocytes on the undersides and HMEC endothelial cells on the insides, placed in wells containing medium with 10 % JIA synovial fluid.
