Expression data from primary human keratinocytes exp...
The clinical features of psoriasis, characterized by sharply demarcated scaly erythematous plaques, are typically so distinctive that a diagnosis can easily be made on these grounds alone. However, there is great variability in treatment response between individual patients, and this may reflect heterogeneity of inflammatory networks driving the disease. In this study, whole-genome transcriptional profiling was used to characterize inflammatory and cytokine networks in 62 lesional skin sample...

Determinants of excess genetic risk of acute myocard...
Peripheral blood samples of patients with acute myocardial infarction were matched with those of control patients to identify possible differences in corresponding gene expression profiles. The controls were matched to cases based on gender, age, status of diabetes mellitus and smoking status. Six months cardiovascular survival status of the cases was used to identify two distinct subgroups among the cases. Linear models for microarray data (‘limma’) were employed to identify differential gen...

Expression data from human with lupus nephritis (LN)
Nephritis (LN) is a serious manifestation of SLE. Therapeutic studies in mouse LN models do not always predict outcomes of human therapeutic trials, raising concerns about the human relevance of these models. In this study we used an unbiased transcriptional network approach to define similarities and differences between three lupus models and human LN. Affymetrix-based expression profiles were analyzed using Genomatix Bibliosphere software and transcriptional networks were compared using the...

Transcriptome analysis of a chronic in vitro model o...
The pesticide rotenone, a neurotoxin that inhibits the mitochondrial complex I, and destabilizes microtubules (MT) has been linked to Parkinson disease (PD) etiology and is often used to model this neurodegenerative disease (ND). Many of the mechanisms of action of rotenone are posited mechanisms of neurodegeneration; however, they are not fully understood. Therefore, the study of rotenone-affected functional pathways is pertinent to the understanding of NDs pathogenesis. This report describ...

Expression data from human bronchial airway smooth m...
Interleukin (IL)-17 plays an important and protective role in host defence and has been demonstrated to orchestrate airway inflammation by cooperating with and inducing proinflammatory cytokines. Mircoarrays were used to identify immediate-early/ primary response IL-17A-dependent gene transcripts in primary human bronchial ASM cells from mild asthmatic and healthy individuals.

Human keratinocytes stimulated with IL-17C
IL-17C is important for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases such as IBD and psoriasis. We found that IL-17C is highly induced in a murine model of psoriasis. Recent results suggest that IL-17C can target epithelial cells that express both IL-17RA and IL-17RE receptor chains.Here we identify genes induced in response to IL-17C treatment of human keratinocytes to provide the tools for dissection of the IL-17C signaling pathway.

Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Regulates TLR9 but not TLR7...
Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) can be activated by the endosomal TLRs, and contribute to the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by producing type I IFNs. Thus, blocking TLR-mediated pDC activation may represent a useful approach for the treatment of SLE. In an attempt to identify a therapeutic target for blocking TLR signaling in pDCs, we investigated the contribution of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) to the activation of pDCs by TLR7 and TLR9 stimulation by using a selec...
