Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus are classical parts of endogenous Cushings syndrome (CS), and insulin resistance is a feature of cortisol excess. CS patients display characteristics including hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and elevated triglycerides, and arterial hypertension. Hypercortisolism is a well known cause of bone loss, and patients with CS frequently display low bone mass and fragility fractures. Cortisol excess inhibits bone formation, increases bone resorption, impairs calcium absorption from the gut, and affects the secretion of several hormones, cytokines, and growth factors with potential influence on bone metabolism. Bone biopsies from nine CS patients, before and mean 3 months after surgery, were screened for expressional candidate genes using Affymetrix human Gene Plus 2.0 Arrays. Analyses were performed to identify genes in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and genes in glucose metabolism and energy homeostasis.
Publication Title
The glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper gene (GILZ) expression decreases after successful treatment of patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome and may play a role in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis.

Description
Using PAXgene tubes, peripheral blood samples were collected from seven patients >18 years with documented pdm(H1N1) influenza, bilateral chest infiltrates, and in need of ventilation support. Significant co-morbidity was exclusion criterion. Expression profiles were compared with 7 age matched controls. Using a false discovery rate < 5% and an absolute fold change > 2, 370 genes were differentially expressed in case and controls.

Description
Based on the findings of increased IEL in duodenal biopsies in CVID, an overlap with celiac disease has been suggested. In the present study, increased IEL, in particular in the pars descendens of the duodenum, was one of the most frequent histopathological finding. We therefore examined the gene expression profile in pars descendens of duodenum in CVID patients with increased IEL (n=12, IEL mean 34 [range 22-56] IEL/100 EC), CVID with normal levels of IEL (n=8), celiac disease (n=10, Marsh grade 3a or above) and healthy controls (n=17) by gene expression microarray
