Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, complex multi-organ illness characterized by unexplained debilitating fatigue and post-exertional malaise (PEM). We evaluated transcriptomic changes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of ME/CFS patients undergoing an exercise challenge and explored the transcriptomic response to exercise and recovery in PBMC of ME/CFS patients, as compared to healthy controls using RNA sequencing technology. As transcriptomic changes in ME/CFS patients are still in the phase of discovery, analysis of data has to be stringent, and the most important results have to be validated by a different technology, such as real-time PCR or NanoString.
肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征(ME/CFS)是一种慢性、复杂的多器官疾病,其特征为不明原因的使人衰弱的疲劳和运动后不适(PEM)。我们使用RNA测序技术评估了接受运动挑战的ME/CFS患者外周血单核细胞(PBMC)的转录组变化,并探讨了与健康对照相比,ME/CFS患者PBMC对运动和恢复的转录组反应。由于ME/CFS患者的转录组变化仍处于发现阶段,数据的分析必须严格,最重要的结果必须通过实时PCR或NanoString等不同技术进行验证。
