View SamplesNotch signaling is one of the central regulators of differentiation in a variety of organisms and tissue types. Within the hematopoietic system, Notch is essential for the emergence of definitive HSC during fetal life and controls adult HSC differentiation to the T-cell lineage. Notch activation is controlled by the gamma-secretase complex complex, composed of presenilin, nicastrin (Ncstn), anterior pharynx-1 (Aph1), and presenilin enhancer-2

View SamplesThe NF-B pathway is a critical regulator of the immune system and has been implicated in cellular transformation and tumorigenesis. NF-B response is regulated by the activation state of the IB kinase (IKK) complex and triggered by a wide spectrum of stimuli. We previously reported that NF-B is downstream of Notch1 in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL), however both the mechanisms involving Notch1-induced NF-B activation and the potential importance of NF-B in the maintenance of the disease are unknown. Here we visualize Notch-induced NF-B activation using both human T-ALL cell lines and animal models of this type of leukemia. We show that it is not Notch1 itself but Hes1, a canonical Notch target, the responsible for sustaining IKK activation in T-ALL. Hes1 exerts its effects by a direct transcriptional repression of the deubiquitinating enzyme CYLD, a well-characterized IKK inhibitor. Consistently, CYLD expression is significantly reduced in primary T-ALL leukemias. Finally, we demonstrate that IKK complex inhibition is a promising option for the targeted therapy of T-ALL as suppression of IKK function affected both the survival of human T-ALL cells in vitro and the maintenance of the disease in vivo.
The Notch/Hes1 pathway sustains NF-κB activation through CYLD repression in T cell leukemia.

View SamplesRNA sequencing technology has been carried out in order to evaluate mRNA expression changes after manipulation of miR-26a in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines. Overall design: To evaluate the entire set of genes modulated by miR-26a in breast cancer, we performed RNA-seq after ectopic manipulation of this miRNA. We over-expressed miR-26a in MCF-7 epithelial cancer cell lines and also reduced its activity by stably transfecting MDA-MB-231 mesenchymal-like cancer cell lines with a specific sponge vector. GO terms and pathway enriched analysis of the transcripts that significantly change upon miR-26 ectopic manipulation implicates miR-26ab in cell cycle, apoptosis, cell spreading and cell adhesion in breast cancer

View SamplesThe molecular basis of calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (CNIT) in kidney transplantation (KT) and its contribution to chronic allograft dysfunction (CAD) with interstitial fibrosis (IF) and tubular atrophy (TA) were evaluated.

View SamplesMurine MafB/c-MAF double KO (Maf-DKO) primary macrophages are known for their unlimited non-tumorigenic self-renewal ability (Aziz et al., 2009). In an in vitro screen for cytokines and small molecules we identified Niacinamide (NAM) a potent inhibitor of their proliferative potential characterized by a reversible cell cycle arrest.

View SamplesIn the current study, we used exon arrays and clinical samples from a previous trial (SAKK 19/05) to investigate the expression variations at the exon-level of 3 genes potentially playing a key role in modulating treatment response (EGFR, KRAS, VEGFA).
