Down-regulation of Interferon signature in systemic ...

IFN-K or placebo was administered at day 0, day 7, day 28 in all patients. Half the subjects received a fourth injection at day 84 (see treatment protocol)

Down-regulation of Interferon signature in systemic ...

Extended clinical (SLEDAI, BILAG, Physician Global Assessment) and biological (binding and neutralizing anti-IFNalpha Ab titers, C3 concentrations and anti double-stranded (ds)DNA Ab titers) follow-up data were collected in 6 IFN-K-treated patients. In these patients, whole blood samples were collected in PAXgene Blood RNA tubes (Qiagen) every 6 months after completion of the initial study. RNA was extracted from these samples, and was also re-extracted from baseline (month 0) and day 168 (mo...

Expression data from macrophages isolated from lupus...

NZB/W F4/80hi mouse cells were isolated using flow cytometry; RNA from cells (young, sick and after complete remission) was extracted and processed for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Gene Expression Profiles in a Rabbit Model of System...

An important goal of biomedical research is to translate basic findings into clinical applications. Models in inbred mice that spontaneously develop SLE, along with various mutant, transgenic and knockout models have documented a variety of genetic defects leading to SLE, but from the clinical perspective, the degree to which these findings using the inbred or homogeneous artificially mutated strains apply to individuals in heterogeneous outbred human populations is open to question. Given th...

Gene expression in RNP autoantibody+ systemic lupus ...

mRNA from the blood of a SLE cohort (79 patients with some repeat visits for a total of 99 arrays) and 30 healthy volunteers (one array per volunteer) were analyzed.

Genome-wide analysis of atypical NK cell subset in m...

Isolated splenic NK1.1+ cells are compared between B6 WT and TLR7tg mice

Global DNA methylation profiling of CD4+ T cells fro...

We employed microarray-based technologies to perform a genome-wide DNA methylation assay and quantify CD4+ T cell DNA methylation levels at 27,578 CG sites spanning 14,495 genes of 11 lupus patients and 12 healthy controls.

Global gene expression profiles in whole blood total...

Global gene expression studies were performed in serial whole blood samples from SLE patients with a renal BILAG A prior to, 3 months, and 6 months after initiation of conventional immunosuppressive therapy (induction with high-dose corticosteroids, IV cyclophosphamide or oral mycophenolate during the first 3 months, followed by maintenance with moderate- to low-dose corticosteroids, azathioprine or mycophenolate). The expression of IFN-induced genes was analyzed, in comparison to global and ...
