Activated T cell gene expression profile associated ...

psoriasis is a Tcell-mediated disease characterized by the chronic inflammation of skin. Gene expression analyses on skin biopsies and freshly isolated PBMCs have provided important insights into Psoriasis pathophysiology.In the present study we analyze, for the first time, the gene expression profile of in vitro activated T cells in Psoriasis compared to normal heatlhy controls.

A sputum gene expression signature of six biomarkers...

This study identifies differentially expression genes in the sputum of people with eosinophilic, neutrophilic and paucigranulocytic asthma. A selection of markers identified using this microarray were further validated using qPCR on a wider sample set.

Human rhinovirus infection causes different DNA meth...

Background: Mechanisms underlying the development of virus-induced asthma exacerbations remain unclear. Objective: To investigate if epigenetic mechanisms could be involved in virus-induced asthma exacerbations, we undertook DNA methylation profiling in asthmatic and healthy nasal epithelial cells (NECs) during Human Rhinovirus (HRV) infection in vitro. Methods: Global and loci-specific methylation profiles were determined via Alu element and Infinium Human Methylation 450K microarray respect...

Molecular patterns in human ulcerative colitis and c...

Background & Aims. As a T cell-mediated disease of the colonic epithelium, ulcerative colitis (UC) is likely to share pathogenic elements with other T cell-mediated inflammatory diseases. Recently we showed T cell-mediated rejection of kidney and heart transplants share large scale molecular changes. We hypothesized that UC would manifest a similar disturbance, and that these features would correlate with response to infliximab. Results. UC biopsies manifested coordinate transcript changes ...

Dominant Th1 and Minimal Th17 Skewing in Discoid Lup...

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common skin manifestation of lupus. Despite its high frequency in systemic lupus in addition to cases without extracutaneous manifestations, targeted treatments for DLE are lacking, likely because of a dearth of knowledge of the molecular landscape of DLE skin. Here, we profiled the transcriptome of DLE skin in order to identify signaling pathways and cellular signatures that may be targeted for treatment purposes. Further comparison of the DLE tr...

Gene expression in psoriasis lesions and uninvolved skin

psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by marked proliferation of keratinocytes leading to pronounced epidermal hyperplasia, elongation of rete ridges and hyperkeratosis. The most common form of psoriasis, chronic plaque psoriasis (Psoriasis vulgaris), involves relatively stable occurrence and progression of sharply demarcated lesions, usually on the trunk and extremities, which share a combination of trademark histological features, including tortuous and dilated derm...

T helper lymphocyte- and monocyte-specific type I in...

This study demonstrates quantitative and qualitative differences between type I IFN signatures in autoimmunity and viral infection using purified CD4pos T cells and CD16pos- and CD16neg-monocyte subsets. We were able to discriminate between cell-specific viral response signatures and the pathogenically amplified IFN signatures observed in autoimmunity. The differences were of both a qualitative and quantitative nature, as the signatures in the patients with SLE were characterized by much more...
