The goal of this study was to determine the differential expression of specific genes within the papilloma tissues themselves and to characterize the array of host genes that might be important in the pathophysiology of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

View SamplesINTRODUCTION: Persistent lung inflammation, with an influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and monocytes, occurs early in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. We hypothesized that: 1) that interleukin-10, a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine, would cause a markedly different gene expression profile compared to dexamethasone in these cells, and 2) monocyte insensitivity to dexamethasone was related to glucocorticoid receptor expression.

View SamplesIntroduction: Increasing evidence now supports the association between the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) with the pathogenesis of preterm labor, intraventricular hemorrhage and bronchopulmonary dysplasia. These disorders are among the most important causes of mortality and morbidity in the perinatal period. During the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) and monocytes (MONOs) are sequentially recruited into the placenta; the same process occurs in the lung of the newborn during the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The aim of the study was to reveal cell-specific differences in gene expression and cytokine release in response to endotoxin that would elucidate inflammatory control mechanisms in the newly born.

View SamplesBlood pressure regulation is known to be maintained by a neuro-endocrine circuit, but whether immune cells contribute to blood pressure homeostasis has not been determined. We previously showed that CD4+ T lymphocytes that express choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), which catalyzes the synthesis of the vasorelaxant acetylcholine, relay neural signals.

View SamplesMicroarray is widely used to monitor gene expression changes in breast cancer. The transcriptomic changes in breast cancer is commonly occured during the transition of normal cells to cancerous cells. This is the first study on gene expression profiling of multi ethnic of Malaysian breast cancer patients (Malays, Chinese and Indian). We aim to identify differentially expressed genes between tumors and normal tissues. We have identified a set of 33 significant differentially expressed genes in the tumor vs. normal group at p<0.001.
Gene expression patterns distinguish breast carcinomas from normal breast tissues: the Malaysian context.

View SamplesPatients with HIV-associated TB are known to experience systemic hyperinflammation, clinically known as immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), following the commencement of antiretroviral therapy (ART). No prognostic markers or biomarkers have been identified to date and little is known about the mechanism mediating the hyperinflammation. We recruited a prospective cohort of 63 patients with HIV-associated TB, 33 of whom developed TB-IRIS. Of which transcriptomic profiling was performed using longitudinal whole blood RNA samples from 15 non-IRIS and 17 TB-IRIS patients. Transcriptomic signatures that distinguish patients who would eventually develop IRIS were identified as early as week 0.5 (2-5 days post-ART) and predicted a downstream activation of proinflammatory cytokines. At the peak of IRIS (week 2), transcriptomic signatures were overrepresented by innate receptor signaling pathways including toll-like receptor, IL-1 receptor and TREM-1.
HIV-tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome is characterized by Toll-like receptor and inflammasome signalling.
