Blood gene expression signatures predict exposure levels.
To respond to potential adverse exposures properly, health care providers need accurate indicators of exposure levels. The indicators are particularly important in the case of acetaminophen (APAP) intoxication, the leading cause of liver failure in the U.S. We hypothesized that gene expression patterns derived from blood cells would provide useful indicators of acute exposure levels. To test th...
متن کاملGene Expression Signatures That Predict Radiation Exposure in Mice and Humans
BACKGROUND The capacity to assess environmental inputs to biological phenotypes is limited by methods that can accurately and quantitatively measure these contributions. One such example can be seen in the context of exposure to ionizing radiation. METHODS AND FINDINGS We have made use of gene expression analysis of peripheral blood (PB) mononuclear cells to develop expression profiles that a...
متن کاملStudy of Gene Expression Signatures for the Diagnosis of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Through Gene Expression Array Analyses
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) as the most common malignancy in children is associated with high mortality and significant relapse. Currently, the non-invasive diagnosis of pediatric ALL is a main challenge in the early detection of patients. In the present study, a systems biology approach was used through network-based analysis to identify the key candidate genes related to AL...
متن کاملBlood gene expression signatures associate with heart failure outcomes.
Gene expression signatures in blood correlate with specific diseases. Such signatures may serve as valuable diagnostic and prognostic tools in disease management. Blood gene expression signatures associated with heart failure may be applied to predict prognosis, monitor disease progression, and optimize treatment. Blood gene expression profiles were generated for 71 subjects with heart failure ...
متن کاملPeripheral Blood Signatures of Lead Exposure
BACKGROUND Current evidence indicates that even low-level lead (Pb) exposure can have detrimental effects, especially in children. We tested the hypothesis that Pb exposure alters gene expression patterns in peripheral blood cells and that these changes reflect dose-specific alterations in the activity of particular pathways. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDING Using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0...
