Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-GEOD-39606 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Public Release Date 2013-07-23 Investigation Title Gene expression data in CD4+ and CD8+ cells in sarcoidosis patients following antimycobacterial therapy Comment[Submitted Name] Gene expression data in CD4+ and CD8+ cells in sarcoidosis patients following antimycobacterial therapy Experiment Description Many chronic cutaneous diseases associated with microbial antigens demonstrate clinical progression due to T cell hyporesponsiveness. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy restores T cell function, leading to clinical resolution. Due to the association of sarcoidosis with mycobacterial antigens, we compared the efficacy of antimycobacterial therapy with placebo in chronic cutaneous sarcoidosis. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind trial on chronic cutaneous sarcoidosis subjects. Participants received the oral CLEAR regimen: Levofloxacin 750 mg on day 1, then 500 mg daily, Ethambutol 1200 mg daily, Azithromycin 500 mg on day 1, then 250 mg daily, and Rifampin 300 mg daily, or a comparative placebo regimen, for a total of 8 weeks, with a 180 day follow-up. Participants were monitored for absolute change in lesion diameter and decrease in granulomas burden upon completion of therapy.

ID_REF = VALUE = Cyclic lowess normalized signal intensity Cy3 labeled RNA was prepared according to the standard Agilent protocol from 50ng total RNA Labeled RNA was hybridized for 17 hr at 65C on Agilent 8X60K microRNA array. Arrays were washed according to the manufacturer's protocol. Participants received the oral CLEAR regimen: Levofloxacin 750 mg on day 1, then 500 mg daily, Ethambutol 1200 mg daily, Azithromycin 500 mg on day 1, then 250 mg daily, and Rifampin 300 mg daily, or a comparative placebo regimen, for a total of 8 weeks, with a 180 day follow-up. Total RNA extracted using miRNeasy mini kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Slides were scanned immediately after washing on the Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (G2505B) using one color scan setting for 8x60K array slides Protocol Type normalization data transformation protocol labelling protocol hybridization protocol sample treatment protocol nucleic acid extraction protocol array scanning protocol Experimental Factor Name CELL TYPE Experimental Factor Type cell type Comment[SecondaryAccession] GSE39606 Comment[GEOReleaseDate] 2013-07-23 Comment[ArrayExpressSubmissionDate] 2012-07-24 Comment[GEOLastUpdateDate] 2013-07-24 Comment[AEExperimentType] transcription profiling by array SDRF File E-GEOD-39606.sdrf.txt
