Endothelium-derived extracellular particles (CD146) were increased in stable relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients (n = 17) compared to healthy controls (p < 0.05). Extracellular particles from several different cells of origin correlated with each other and clinical parameters (e.g. disease duration, number of relapses, EDSS), though clinical correlations did not withstand corrections for multiple comparisons. Conclusions: Concentrations of erythrocyte-, leukocyte-, and platelet-derived extracellular particles were altered in relapsing multiple sclerosis patients and endothelium-derived extracellular particles were increased in stable relapsing-remitting patients compared to healthy controls. Extracellular particles may provide insights into altered the crosstalk between peripheral blood cells in multiple sclerosis, which may lead to the discovery of novel therapeutic targets.]]> Wed 23 Feb 2022 11:05:08 AEDT ]]> Next-generation sequencing reveals broad down-regulation of microRNAs in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis CD4+T cells https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25795 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:09:43 AEST ]]> CD4+ T-cell DNA methylation changes during pregnancy significantly correlate with disease-associated methylation changes in autoimmune diseases https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47078 Tue 13 Dec 2022 16:28:39 AEDT ]]> DNA methylation changes in CD4+ T cells isolated from multiple sclerosis patients on dimethyl fumarate https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42900 Tue 06 Sep 2022 15:14:33 AEST ]]>
