Whole genome transcription and DNA methylation analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells identified aberrant gene regulation pathways in systemic lupus erythematosus [metylation]
We performed whole genome transcription and DNA methylation analysis in PBMC of 30 SLE patients, including 15 with LN (SLE LN+) and 15 without LN (SLE LN-), and 25 normal controls (NC) using HumanHT-12 Beadchips and Illumina Human Methy450 chips. The serum pro-inflammatory cytokines were quantified using Bio-plex human cytokine 27-plex assay.
