Project description:Antiphospholipid antibodies are a leading cause of thrombosis. To further elucidate the role of neutrophils in APS, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis using the total RNA of neutrophils isolated from 9 patients with primary APS and 9 age, sex and ethnicity-matched healthy controls using next-generation RNA-seq.
Project description:RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) protocols and bioinformatic pipelines are designed to streamline downstream analyses on sequences believed to be the most important. Here, we have challenged this dogma by preserving ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in our samples and by lowering the minimal RNA size window of our small RNA-Seq analyses to 8 nt
Project description:Gene profiling reveals specific molecular pathways in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis in Antiphospholipid syndrome, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus with Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
