Article Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease, which predominantly occurs in females and is characterized by autoantibody production against a host of nuclear self-antigens and deposition of proinflammatory immune complexes in the organs including kidney glomeruli. MicroRNAs are small noncoding intracellular RNAs that modulate gene expression at the posttranslational level. Microarray technology is in widespread use for analysis of microRNA (miRNA) gene expression because of its flexibility and accurate high throughput. RNA microarray technology is based on nucleic acid hybridization between a mixture of labeled RNA targets and their corresponding complementary probes. This article offers a technological overview of microarray technology for analysis of microRNA gene expression in kidney biopsies from SLE patients.

Electroacupuncture (EA) has demonstrated protective effects against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (HIRI) in rat models. This study aimed to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms by which EA exerts its protective effects against HIRI. Gene expression microarray data from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database were analyzed to identify genes associated with HIRI, followed by differential expression analysis.

This dataset focuses on N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) without autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). Emerging evidence suggests that m6A modification was associated with the occurrence and progression of both thyroid carcinoma and AITD. Given the substantial clinical overlap between thyroid carcinoma (particularly PTC) and AITD, rigorous exclusion of autoimmune confounding factors is essential to isolate the distinct role of m6A modifications in driving thyroid carcinogenesis and progression.

Background: C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3) is a crucial chemokine that plays a fundamental role in the immune microenvironment and is closely linked to the development of various cancers. Despite its importance, there is limited research regarding the expression and function of CCL3 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Therefore, this study seeks to examine the expression of CCL3 and assess its clinical significance in NPC using bioinformatics analysis and experiments.

Introduction: Rhinovirus (RV) is the leading cause of exacerbations of lung disease. A sensory neuronal model, derived from human dental pulp stem cells and differentiated into peripheral neuronal equivalents (PNEs), was used to examine RV's effects on airway sensory nerves. We investigated whether RV can directly infect and alter PNEs or whether it exerts effects indirectly via the release of mediators from infected epithelial cells.

Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.
