View SamplesSamples were collected from 'control participants' of the Heart and Vascular Health (HVH) study that constitutes a group of population based case control studies of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and atrial fibrillation (AF) conducted among 30-79 year old members of Group Health, a large integrated health care organization in Washington State.

View SamplesRecurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs infrequently following a provoked event but occurs in up to 30% of individuals following an initial unprovoked event. We studied 134 patients with VTE separated into 3 groups: (1) low-risk patients had 1 provoked VTE; (2) moderate-risk patients had no more than 1 unprovoked VTE; (3) high-risk patients had 2 unprovoked VTE. 44 individuals with no history of VTE were enrolled as healthy controls. Consented individuals were enrolled at 4 medical centers in the US. Total RNA from whole blood was isolated and hybridized to Illumina HT-12 V4 Beadchips to assay whole genome expression. Using class prediction analysis, we distinguished high-risk patients from healthy controls with good receiver operating curve characteristics (AUC=0.88). We also distinguished high-risk from low-risk individuals, moderate-risk individuals from healthy controls, and low-risk individuals from healthy controls with AUCs of 0.72, 0.77 and 0.72, respectively. Using differential expression analysis, we identified genes relevant to coagulation, immune response and vascular biology, such as SELP and CD46, which were differentially expressed in at least two comparisons. Neither approach distinguished the moderate-risk patients from the high-risk or low-risk groups. Gene expression profiles may provide insights into biological mechanisms associated with patients at risk for recurrent VTE. Prospective studies are needed to validate these findings.
Whole blood gene expression profiles distinguish clinical phenotypes of venous thromboembolism.

View SamplesSympathetic neurons of SCG (Superior Cervical Ganglia) send axonal projections either along the external carotid arteries to innervate the salivary glands, or along the internal carotid arteries to the lacrimal and pineal glands, the eye, blood vessels and skin of the head, and the mucosa of the oral and nasal cavities. Previous studies using Wnt1Cre and R26R have defined the neural crest and mesodermal origins of vascular smooth muscle in the heart outflow tract and great vessels, although not specifically of the segments that are relevant for the projections of the SCG neurons. The third pharyngeal arch arteries are lined by neural crest-derived smooth muscle, and consequently, their derivatives, including the entirety of the external carotid arteries and only the base of the internal carotid arteries, also have a neural crest origin. In contrast, the dorsal aortae are lined by smooth muscle that is mesodermal in origin, and as a result, the internal carotid arteries from just above their origination from the common carotid arteries have a mesoderm-derived smooth muscle layer. To address the possibility that guidance cues for SCG neurons are selectively expressed by the external carotid vs. the internal carotid arteries, we isolated these segments of the vasculature from mouse embryos at E13.5 and extracted RNA to screen microarrays for differentially expressed genes.
Endothelins are vascular-derived axonal guidance cues for developing sympathetic neurons.

View SamplesIn mouse, the adrenocortical dysplasia (acd) phenotype shows limb and body axis anomalies, as a result of p53-dependent apoptosis, and perinatal lethality. The p53 deficiency partially rescues anomalies, but not perinatal lethality, implicating the involvement of p53-independent mechanisms in the acd phenotype. Differentially expressed genes in acd mutant and double mutant embryos were identified. p53-dependent and independent pathways contributing to acd phenotype were characterized.
High-throughput gene expression analysis identifies p53-dependent and -independent pathways contributing to the adrenocortical dysplasia (acd) phenotype.
