Project description:Aims: Differential expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with autoimmune diseases. This study sought to elucidate the plasma exosomal miRNA expression profiles of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their potential clinical significance. Methods: In the screening phase, small RNA sequencing was performed to characterize dysregulated exosome-derived miRNAs in the plasma samples from six RA patients and six healthy controls. In the independent validation phase, the candidate plasma exosomal miRNAs were verified in 40 RA patients and 32 healthy controls using quantitative real-time PCR. The association of miRNA levels with clinical characteristics in RA patients was tested. The value of these miRNAs in diagnosing RA was assessed with the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: Totally 177 and 129 miRNAs were upregulated and downregulated, respectively in RA patients versus healthy controls in the screening phase. There were 10 candidate plasma exosomal miRNAs selected for the next identification. Compared with the healthy controls, eight plasma exosomal miRNAs (let-7a-5p, let-7b-5p, let-7d-5p, let-7f-5p, let-7g-5p, let-7i-5p, miR-128-3p, and miR-25-3p) were significantly elevated in RA patients, but miR-144-3p and miR-15a-5p expression exhibited no significant changes. The let-7a-5p and miR-25-3p levels were associated with rheumatoid factor-positive phenotype in RA patients. For the eight miRNAs, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) ranged from 0.641 to 0.843, and their combination had a high diagnostic accuracy for RA (AUC = 0.916). Conclusions: Our study illustrates that novel exosomal miRNAs in the plasma may represent potential noninvasive biomarkers for RA.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory joint disease of unknown etiology and pronounced inter-patient heterogeneity. To characterize RA at the molecular level and to uncover key pathomechanisms, we performed whole-genome gene expression analyses. Synovial tissues from rheumatoid arthritis patients were compared to those from osteoarthritis patients and to normal donors. Keywords: disease state analysis

Project description:Sustained remission is now an achievable goal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using modern treat-to-target regimens of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Recent studies have demonstrated that up to half of patients in remission can discontinue DMARDs and maintain drug-free remission (DFR), with consequent benefits of avoidance of drug toxicity and the need for regular and expensive safety monitoring. However, there are currently no reliable biomarkers that can predict DFR prior to withdrawal of DMARDs. Aim: As part of a wider study of DMARD withdrawal (the BioRRA study), we aimed to identify predictors of time-to-flare following DMARD cessation using whole-genome bulk RNA sequencing data from circulating CD4+ T cells.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) causes serious disability and productivity loss, and there is an urgent need for appropriate biomarkers for diagnosis, treatment assessment, and prognosis evaluation. To identify serum markers of RA, we performed mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics, and we obtained 24 important markers in normal and RA patient samples using a random forest machine learning model and 11 protein-protein interaction (PPI) network topological analysis methods. Re-analyze markers using additional proteomics datasets, immune infiltration status, tissue specificity, subcellular localization, correlation analysis with disease activity-based diagnostic indications, diagnostic receiver-operating characteristic analysis We discovered that ORM1 in serum is significantly differentially expressed in normal and RA patient samples, which is positively correlated with disease activity, and is closely related to CD56dim natural killer cell, effector memory CD8+ T cell and natural killer cell in the pathological mechanism, which can be better utilized for diagnosis, monitoring disease progression and efficacy assessment. This study supplies a comprehensive strategy for discovering potential serum biomarkers of RA, and provides a different perspective for comprehending the pathological mechanism of RA, identifying potential therapeutic targets, and disease management.
