Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines expression profiles in human monocytes to identify new effective biomarkers that have the best diagnostic potential in asymptomatic atherosclerosis.
Detailed Description
This project is the first step in creating a method for assessing an individual activity of macrophages. The problems addressed in the project are socially significant because of the high incidence of life-threatening diseases and their effects in the population. The method of evaluation of monocyte-macrophages activity in human blood will be based on the analysis of expression of cytokines and chemokines - markers of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory activity of macrophages. The most informative panel of cytokines and chemokines obtained during the project can be further used to create effective diagnostic tests.

Primary Outcomes
Development and optimization of the method of monocyte-macrophage isolation.
Time Frame: up to 1 years
Technique for isolation/separation of monocytes with culture purity more than 95 % CD14-positive cells according to flow cytometry, the share of viable cells at least 98% by trypan blue vital staining, capable of producing TNFa at concentration of at least 50 pg/ml when stimulated with 100 ng/ml IFN-gamma, and CCL18 at concentration at least 30 pg/ml when stimulated with 10 ng/ml interleukin.
Secondary Outcomes
- Sample processing and parameter measurements.(up to 1 years)
