Abstract

We have comprehensively identified the genes whose expressions are augmented in bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMC) from patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) as compared with BMMCs from Osteoarthritis (OA) patients, and named them AURA after augmented in RA. Both stepwise subtractive hybridization and microarray analyses were used to identify AURA genes, which were confirmed by northern blot analysis and/or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). We also assessed their expression levels in individual patients by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Of 103 AURA genes we have identified, the mRNA levels of the following 10 genes, which are somehow related to immune responses, were increased in many of the RA patients: AREG (=AURA9), FK506-binding protein 5 (FKBP5 = AURA45), C-type lectin superfamily member 9 (CLECSF9 = AURA24), tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase 1 (TPST1 = AURA52), lymphocyte G0/G1 switch gene (G0S2 = AURA8), chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4 = AURA86), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB = AURA25) and two genes of unknown function (FLJ11106 = AURA1, BC022398 = AURA2 and XM_058513 = AURA17). Since AREG was most significantly increased in many of the RA patients, we subjected it to further analysis and found that AREG-epidermal growth factor receptor signaling is highly activated in synovial cells isolated from RA patients, but not in OA synoviocytes. We propose that the expression profiling of these AURA genes may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of RA.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
