Purpose: Age-related degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of blindness in developed countries. The molecular pathogenesis of early events in AMD is poorly understood. We investigated differential gene expression in samples of human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid from early AMD and control m...

Because myostatin normally limits skeletal muscle growth, there is an extensive effort to develop myostatin inhibitors for clinical use. One potential concern is that in patients with muscle degenerative diseases, inducing hypertrophy may increase stress on dystrophic fibers. Here, we show that bl...

In addition to the well-known short noncoding RNAs as miRNAs, increasing evidence suggests that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) act as key regulators in a wide aspect of biologic processes. Dysregulated expression of lncRNAs has been demonstrated being implicated in a variety of human diseases. Howeve...

DNA methylation microarray analysis was performed on human donor whole blood samples from patients with and without AMD. A total of 30 patient samples including 16 Normal, 3 AREDS grade 2 (early AMD) and 11 AREDS grade 3 (intermediate AMD) (AMD total, n = 14) were selected. Samples were obtained fro...

Dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a critical role in the development of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). In this study, we present evidence from in vitro and in vivo research to elucidate the mechanism underlying the role of miR-760 in IDD. miRNA microarray and quantitative reverse tr...

The first goal of the study was to find the genes that explain the difference in progression of age-related retinal degeneration (ageRD) between the inbred strains C57BL/6J-c2J (B6a) and BALB/cByJ (C). The specific goal was to find the candidate genes that explain the chromosome 6 and chromosome 10 ...

To identify disease-specific transcriptional programs in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells, fibroblasts from 43 patients with geographic atrophy (GA) were reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) before being differentiated into RPE and compared to those from 36 healthy individu...

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of blindness. Vision loss is caused by the loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors and/or retinal and choroidal angiogenesis. Here we use AMD patient specific RPE cells with the Y402H high-risk polymorphism in the comp...

Objective: Aging and early degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) involves the substition of notochordal cells (NCs) in the nucleus pulposus (NP) by chondrocyte-like cells (CLCs). This study investigated the gene expression profiles involved in this process using NP tissue from both non-chond...
