Project description:Variability of meningioma growth, even within benign subgroup, makes some remain unaltered, while others grow fast despite an appended radiotherapy. Biomarkers that differentiate between less and more aggressive meningiomas would therefore have a significant clinical benefit in prediction of their biological behaviour. The aim of the study was to identify new candidate miRNAs enabling better and proper prediction of meningioma recurrence. We used miRNA 4.0 array (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) to detect miRNA profiles in 44 primary meningioma patients (19 with subsequent recurrence) and 5 healthy controls. Moreover, miRNA profiles were analyzed in 15 secondary meningiomas.
Project description:Exosomal miRNAs have emerged as promising disease biomarkers. We aim to investigate the potential of exosomal miRNAs to assist with AIS clinical diagnosis. In the present research, we used the Affymetrix Genechip miRNA 4.0 Array to investgate the profiles of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in the exosomes of peripheral blood plasma. As a result, exosomal miRNA profiling yielded a total of 05 DEMs between the AIS (Acute Ischemic Stroke) patients and controls.
Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is difficult to diagnose under complex clinical conditions. Exosomal miRNAs have emerged as promising disease biomarkers. We aim to investigate the potential of exosomal miRNAs to assist with TB clinical diagnosis. In the present research, we used the Affymetrix Genechip miRNA 4.0 Array to investgate the profiles of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in the exosomes of peripheral blood plasma. As a result, exosomal miRNA profiling yielded a total of 102 DEMs (98 with up-expression and 4 with down-expression) between the TB (pulmonary tuberculosis and tuberculosis meningitis) patients and controls.
Project description:Affymetrix microarray (GeneChip microRNA 4.0) profilling of whole blood. We used miRNA arrays to profile miRNAs isolated from whole blood samples of healthy subjects with or without moderate consumption of traditional beer
Project description:Affymetrix microarray (GeneChip microRNA 4.0) profilling of circulating miRNAs. We used miRNA arrays to profile miRNAs isolated from plasma from familial hypercholesterolemia patients with (FH-W_CCS) or without (FH-WO_CCS) coronary calcium score by computed tomographic angiography
Project description:Affymetrix microarray (GeneChip microRNA 4.0) profilling of circulating miRNAs. We used miRNA arrays to profile miRNAs isolated from plasma of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI)-patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) or without cariogenic shock (Non-CS)
Project description:Affymetrix microarray (GeneChip microRNA 4.0) profilling of circulating miRNAs. We used miRNA arrays to profile miRNAs isolated from plasma of familial hypercholesterolemia patients with [FH-Lp(a)_High_50 mg/dL] or without [FH-Lp(a)_Low_50 mg/dL] atherogenic Lp(a) concentration.
Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profiles with meningiomas of different grading. 24 primary meningioma cultures from surgical specimen were maintained to primary meningioma cultures.
