BACKGROUND: It has been reported that the gut microbiome is involved in the pathogenesis of uveitis, but the specific pathogenic microbes and metabolites in different types of uveitis are still unclear.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether macrophages, a type of cell implicated in the pathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), exhibit a characteristic gene expression pattern. METHODS: Macrophages were derived from the peripheral blood of 8 AS patients (median disease duration 13 years [range <1-43 yea...
We have compared synovial biopsies from ankylosing spondylitis and undifferentiated spondylitis patients with healthy controls and osteoarthritis patients Objective: In spondylarthropies, whole-genome gene expression profiling studies have been limited to peripheral blood to date. By undertaking a...
Single-cell transcriptome of >55,000 cells multiplexed into 4 channels obtained from peripheral blood and synovial fluid of two patients with HLA-B27+ ankylosing spondylitis,.
To identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in colon tissue of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) versus patients with chronic enteritis using proteomic techniques, and to investigate the functions of the DEPs and the relationship between AS and chronic enteritis.
The aim of this study was to identify genes associated with ankylosing spondylitis susceptibility in British and Australian individuals of European descent.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is an inflammatory arthritis of the axial skeleton that predominantly affects young men. HLA-B27 has remained the major genetic risk factor in AS. Recently, more non-MHC genes has been discoverd to be involved in AS pathogenesis, especially IL-23 signalling pathway relate...
