Here we report the data generated by short-read sequencing of mRNA (polyA) isolated from granuloma annulare and leprosy skin lesions. Our main aim was to identify putative mRNA biomarkers for distinguishing leprosy from other differential diagnoses. Additionally, we also explored the distinction bet...

Leprosy presents as a clinical and immunological spectrum of disease. With the use of gene expression profiling, we observed that a distinction in gene expression correlates with and accurately classifies the clinical form of the disease. Genes belonging to the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor...

Effective innate immunity against many microbial pathogens requires macrophage programs that upregulate phagocytosis and direct antimicrobial pathways, two functions generally assumed to be coordinately regulated. Here the regulation of these key functions was investigated in human blood-derived ma...

Skin biopsy specimens of skin lesions were profiled for miRNA expression. In this study, we indentified miRNA species that were differentially expressed in the skin lesions of either the lepromatous or tuberculoid forms of leprosy. One miRNA species, hsa-mir-21, found in the lepromatous lesions was...

In this study, a comprehensive assessment of human mRNA was performed on leprosy skin lesions using DNA chip microarrays, which included the entire spectrum of the disease along with its reactional states. Sixty-six samples from leprotic lesions (10TT, 10BT, 10BB, 10BL, 4LL, 14R1, and 10R2) and nine...

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae (M. leprae). Due to M. leprae's narrow host range and an inability to be cultured in vitro, the biological investigation of this disease has been difficult. Host genetic factors have been ...

[Aim] To characterize the transcriptomic changes in skin lesions of lepromatous leprosy patients before and after multidrug therapy (MDT). Likewise, not all patients improve their bacillary index after MDT. Thus, the further analysis aims to compare patients who responded or did not to MDT and ident...

Leprosy is classified from paucibacillary leprosy (TT and BT) to multibacillary leprosy (BB, BL, and LL). In our study, we focus on selecting or classfying the significant genes to discriminate between paucibacillary and multibacillary group and the important genes to distinguish between blood and ...
