Project description:microRNA profiling by array of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with early onset psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls.
Project description:Our goal was to find correlations between gene expression patterns and impaired vascular pathophysiolgy in rheumatoid arthritis Patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited and venous blood samples were collected, then peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated. After RNA isoltaion, we used Affymetrix PrimeView arrays to obtain whole gene expression data.
