Gene expression patterns in blood leukocytes discriminate patients with acute infections.
Each infectious agent represents a unique combination of pathogen-associated molecular patterns that interact with specific pattern-recognition receptors expressed on immune cells. Therefore, we surmised that the blood immune cells of individuals with different infections might bear discriminative transcriptional signatures. Gene expression profiles were obtained for 131 peripheral blood sample...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Expression of NLRP1 Inflammasome in Patients with Bacterial Septicemia
Background: Septicemia is the most important cause of mortality, especially in hospitalized patients, due to the influence of the immune response by infection. NLRP1 (Nod-like receptor P1) is an intracellular receptor that recognizes microbial-dependent molecular patterns. The main intracellular mechanism of anti-septicemia is still being investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate ...
متن کاملAnalysis of BAALC gene Expression as prognosis factor in Pediatric Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Iran
Background:Brain and Acute Leukemia Cytoplasmic (BAALC) is a gene which its expression is confined to progenitor cells; therefore, no expression has been illustrated in mature cells of bone marrow or white blood cells (WBC). In addition, high BAALC expression is associated with poor prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) individuals and is considered as an important risk factor in Cyto...
متن کاملThe Difference in Initial Leukocyte Count, Bone Marrow Blast Cell Count and CD 34 Expression in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia with and without NPM1 gene Mutation
Background: Mutation in NPM1 gene has been reported to be the most common genetic mutation in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML with NPM1 gene mutation usually presents with higher initial leukocyte and blast cell counts and negative CD34 expression. We aimed to investigate the difference of initial leukocyte counts, bone marrow blast cell counts and expression of CD34 among patients wi...
متن کاملEvaluation of BAALC gene expression in normal cytogenetic acute myeloid leukemia patients in north-east of Iran
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. Environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. Among different genetic factors NPM1, FLT3, MLL and BAALC genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. The aim of this study was to assess amount of BAALC gene expression in AML patients, and i...
