The goal of this project is to use the power of OMICs, and bioinformatics to identify new classifications for diseases known to share common pathophysiological mechanisms. Such knowledge has not been applied to individual patients, depriving them of potential benefits in terms of the use of new therapeutic agents that are being developed for one disease but cannot be applied in another, due to current clinical classifications. We will investigate individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus ...

Gene expression in rheumatoid arthritis synovial macrophages
Macrophages from synovial fluids of five RA patients were isolated by ficoll density gradient centrifugation, followed by positive selection of CD14+ cells using magnetic beads. The patients’ diagnoses were determined by their physicians, in each case a Board-certified rheumatologist at the Hospital for Special Surgery, and were definite RA according to American College of Rheumatology criteria. De-identified samples were processed in an anonymous manner using a protocol approved by the Insti...

Gene expression analysis of macrophages from ankylos...
Macrophages were derived from the peripheral blood of 8 AS patients (median disease duration 13 years [range <1–43 years]) and 9 healthy control subjects over 7 days with the use of granulocyte– macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Cells were stimulated for 24 hours with interferon- (IFN; 100 units/ ml), were left untreated for 24 hours, or were treated for 3 hours with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 10 ng/ml). RNA was isolated and examined by microarray and real-time quantitative reverse transcri...
