Establishment of a transcriptomic profile of human cells treated with genistein with particular emphasis on signature of genes coding for enzymes involved in glycosaminoglycan synthesis stands for the present study. The hypothesis tested was that indomethacin and nimesulide influence expression of some genes among which are those coding for enzymes required for synthesis of different GAGs being pathologically accumulated in mucopolysaccharidoses. Results provide important information concerning the extent of action of indomethacin and nimesulide at the molecular level in terms of modulation of gene expression by these substances.

View SamplesEstablishment of a transcriptomic profile of human cells treated with genistein with particular emphasis on the assessment of the role of this isoflavone in regulation of expression of psoriasis-related genes stands for the present study. The hypothesis tested was that genistein modulates activity of psoriasis-related genes, by reducing the expression efficiency of genes revealing enhanced activity in psoriatic cells, and by stimulating the expression efficiency of genes revealing decreased activity in psoriatic cells. Results provide important information concerning the extent of action of genistein at the molecular level in terms of modulation of gene expression by this substance.

View SamplesAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to have the lowest survival rates of all leukemias. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for AML patients. Here, we report a novel role for Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) in pathogenesis of AML. We have performed RNA-Seq in K562 cells with knockdown of WTAP to ascertain which genes it regulates. Overall design: We have 2 replicates of total RNA for K562 cells and 2 replicates with WTAP knocked down
WTAP is a novel oncogenic protein in acute myeloid leukemia.

View SamplesPatients undergoing either partial or radical nephrectomy at William Beaumont Hospital (Royal Oak, MI) were consented prior to surgery with local IRB oversight. Samples were collected at time of surgery and stored at -80C according to CAP (College of American Pathologist)-accredited standard operating procedures. Disease pathology of frozen samples was validated with hematoxylin and eosin stained tissue sections from adjacently collected formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue.

View SamplesMitochondria are able to modulate cell state and fate during normal and pathophysiologic conditions through a nuclear mediated mechanism collectively termed as a retrograde response. Our previous studies in Drosophila have clearly established that progress through the cell cycle is precisely regulated by the intrinsic activity of the mitochondrion by specific signaling cascades mounted by the cell. As a means to further our understanding of how mitochondrial energy status affects nuclear control of basic cell decisions we have employed Affymetrix microarray-based transcriptional profiling of Drosophila S2 cells knocked down for the gene encoding subunit Va of the complex IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The profiling data identifies up-regulation of glycolytic genes and metabolic studies confirm this increase in glycolysis. The transcriptional portrait which emerges implicates many signaling systems, including a p53 response, an insulin response, and up-regulation of conserved mitochondrial responses. This rich dataset provides many novel targets for further understanding the mechanism whereby the mitochondrion may direct cellular fate decisions. The data also provides a salient model of the shift of metabolism from a predominately oxidative state towards a predominately aerobic glycolytic state, and therefore provides a model of energy substrate management not unlike that found in cancer.

View SamplesIn the present study, we demonstrate that hMSCs migrate toward human keratinocytes as well as toward conditioned medium from cultured human keratinocytes (KCM) indicating that the hMSCs can respond to signals from keratinocytes. Incubation of hMSCs with KCM induced dermal myofibroblast like differentiation characterized by expression of cytoskeletal markers vinculin and F-actin filaments with increased expression of alpha smooth muscle actin. We then examined the therapeutic efficacy of hMSCs in wound healing in two animal models representing normal and chronic wound healing. Accelerated wound healing, as determined by quantitative measurements of wound area, was observed when hMSCs and KCM exposed hMSCs (KCMSCs) were injected near the site of incisional/excisional wounds in nondiabetic athymic and NOD/SCID mice as compared with normal human fetal lung fibroblast WI38 cells or saline control induced wound healing.
