View SamplesType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is a common autoimmune disease mediated by autoimmune attack against pancreatic b cells.Dys-regualtion of the component of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), including T-cells and B-cells, and smaller amounts of NK cells and dendritic cells, have all been implicated in this process
Decreased miR-146 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells is correlated with ongoing islet autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes patients 1miR-146.

View SamplesAutologous nonmyeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHST) was the first therapeutic approaches that can improvecell function in type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients. This study was designed to investigate the potential mechanisms involved.We applied AHST to nine T1D patients diagnosed within six months and analyzed the acute response in peripheral blood genomic expression profiling at the six-month follow-up.

View SamplesGastric cancer is one of the most common causes of cancer-related death worldwide, and the molecular mechanisms involved in gastric carcinogenesis are still not fully understood. To gain molecular understanding of carcinogenesis, progression, and diversity of gastric cancer, 111 human gastric cancer tissues and 21 noncancerous gastric tissues were analyzed by high-density oligonucleotide microarray in this study. These results provide not only a new molecular basis for understanding biological properties of gastric cancer, but also useful resources for future development of therapeutic targets and diagnostic markers for gastric cancer.

View SamplesHepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a leading risk factor for liver fibrosis (LF) and hepatocellular carcinoma. Emerging evidence indicates that host genetic, virological and immunological factors will influence the fibrotic progress. Many previous studies have focused on specific pathways or genes included in LF mechanism, however global view of the whole genome expresion profile in HBV related LF patients never been studied, and the mechanisms underlying the promotion of liver fibrosis progression remain obscure. Here we collected liver biopsy samples from 124 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and used Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2.0 microarray to quantify the transcriptome of these patients. Through integrated data analysis, including geneset enrichment analysis (GSEA), weighted gene co-expression analysis (WGCNA), differential expressed gene (DEG) screening, trend test, principle component analysis (PCA) etc., we identified several key pathways and hub genes participated in the initiation and exacerbation of liver fibrotic progress. The function of these hub genes were also validated by in vitro and in vivo experiments using HepG2, Huh7 and LX-2 cell lines and transgenic mice. This is the first large-scale study investigating the gene expression profile in HBV-related LF patients which will be crucial for unlocking the gene functions and gene-gene correlations in fibrosis progess.

View SamplesTo identify the differentially expressed genes in normal gastric mucosa and gastric cancer tissues, we employed the microarray profiling analysis. Genes with greater than 2-fold change and P-value 0.05 were identified as differentially expressed genes.

View SamplesWe found the presence of CD19hi and CD19lo B cell populations in the periphery of SLE and pemphigus patientsas well as human secondary lymphoid organs. In addition, CD19hi B cells and CD19lo B cells can be induced in vitro with the help of activated CD4+T cells.

View SamplesRaptor deficient mice showed diabetic phenotype, to dissect the effect of hyperglycemia, we isolated euglycemic 2-week-old β cells to perform microarray.
Raptor determines β-cell identity and plasticity independent of hyperglycemia in mice.

View SamplesObesity is tightly associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the molecular mechanisms of obesity-induced fatty liver remain largely unknown.In order to identify genes that are potentially involved in dysfunctional hepatic lipid homeostasis in obesity, we performed a clustering analysis of Affymetrix arrays,which revealed that a number of mRNAs were dys-regulated in the livers of mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD), compared with mice fed a normal chow diet (ND).
