Genes deregulated in giant cell arteritis by Nanostring nCounter gene expression profiling in temporal artery biopsies by Francesco Muratore, Carlo Salvarani, Luca Cimino, Luigi Boiardi, Nicolò Pipitone, Stefania Croci, Alessandro Zerbini, Alberto Cavazza, Alessandra Bisagni, Alessandro Rossi, Maria Nicastro, Ilaria Ferrigno, Martina Bonacini, Angelo Ghidini, Giuseppe Malchiodi

“…Objective To identify differentially expressed genes in temporal artery biopsies (TABs) from patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) with different histological patterns of inflammation: transmural inflammation (TMI) and inflammation limited to adventitia (ILA), compared with normal TABs from patients without GCA.Methods Expression of 770 immune-related genes was profiled with the NanoString nCounter PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded TABs from 42 GCA patients with TMI, 7 GCA patients with ILA and 7 non-GCA controls.Results Unsupervised clustering of the samples revealed two distinct groups: normal TABs and TABs with ILA in one group, 41/42 TABs with TMI in the other one. …”
