Project description:Recent studies have shown that alterations in the function of dendritic cells (DCs) are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the role of DCs participating in SLE remains unclear. We profiled the lncRNAs of LPS-stimulated moDCs in SLE patients compared with healthy controls.

Project description:To investigate the lncRNAs expression profiling in CD4+ T cells of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, we have employed “Agilent Human lncRNA 4*180K microarray” as a discovery platform to identify lncRNAs and mRNAs expression signatures in CD4+ T cells between SLE patients and normal controls. CD4+ T cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of peripheral blood in SLE patients and normal controls, respectively.
