The goal of this study was to determine if blood circulating monocytes of metastatic breast cancer patient would express a different activation profile compared to healthy donors, in order to use this specific changesas biomarkers to monitor then response to therapy Overall design: CD11b+ cells were extracted from all blood of 4 healthy donors and 4 metastatic breast cancer patients using magnetic beads separation (Miltenyi). CD11b+ cells were then lysed and mRNA was extracted to perform RNASeq.
Bevacizumab specifically decreases elevated levels of circulating KIT+CD11b+ cells and IL-10 in metastatic breast cancer patients.

View SamplesClassical CD16- versus intermediate/non-classical CD16+ monocytes differ in their homing potential and immunological functions; but whether they differentiate into dendritic cells (DC) with distinct contributions to immunity against bacterial/viral pathogens remains poorly investigated. Here, we employed a systems biology approach to identify differences between CD16+ and CD16- monocyte-derived DC (MDDC) with potential clinical relevance
CD16<sup>+</sup> monocytes give rise to CD103<sup>+</sup>RALDH2<sup>+</sup>TCF4<sup>+</sup> dendritic cells with unique transcriptional and immunological features.

View SamplesAlloplasmic lines provide a unique tool to study the nucleo-cytoplasmic interactions. Alloplasmic lines T183 and T195 were developed through the introgression of the cytoplasm from Aegilops uniaristata (T183) and Aegilops squarrosa (T195) in the nuclear background of Triticum aestivum cv. Chris. Alloplasmic line TH237 was produced introgressing the Hordeum chilense accession H7 cytoplasm into the nuclear background of Triticum aestivum accession T20. Fifty seeds for each sample in pots of 11 cm diameter and grown in controlled conditions under 600E m-2 s1 high light intensity in a daily regime of 12 h light at 22C and 12 h darkness at 15C. Plants were bulked from each pot and three biological replicate used for the transcriptomics Fully expanded second leaves were collected two weeks from sowing in the middle of the light period and used for transcriptomic analysis.

View SamplesTo provide a global study of transcriptome changes under drought stress, the gene expression levels of a durum wheat genotype (Triticum durum Desf. cultivar Creso) and two bread wheat genotypes (Triticum aestivum L. cultivar Chinese Spring -CS- and its deletion line CS_5AL-10) were investigated. The 5A chromosome deletion line (5AL-10) lacks the distal part (43%) of the long arm of chromosome 5A. Each genotype was subjected to two different levels of water stress at the grain filling stage. After anthesis, three different levels of soil water content (SWC) were induced as described below: control (CTRL; SWC=28%), moderate stress (MS; SWC=18%), and severe stress (SS; SWC=12.5%). For each sample, three biological replicates were performed, for a total of 27 hybridizations. ****[PLEXdb(http://www.plexdb.org) has submitted this series at GEO on behalf of the original contributor, Alessio Aprile.

View SamplesA human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (MSCs) and cord blood-derived CD34+ stem cell co-culture system was set up in order to evaluate the proliferative and differentiative effects induced by MSCs on CD34+ stem cells, and the reciprocal influences on gene expression profiles
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) induce ex vivo proliferation and erythroid commitment of cord blood haematopoietic stem cells (CB-CD34+ cells).

View SamplesThere is much evidence that T cells may be activated via mechanisms which act independently of direct TCR ligation. Despite this, the question of whether such forms of bystander T cell activation occur during immune responses is hotly debated.
Human CD4+ memory T cells are preferential targets for bystander activation and apoptosis.

View SamplesOne of the hallmarks in hypertension is a pressure-induced change in endothelial cell phenotype. A cytoskeletal protein zyxin, which was seen to translocate from focal adhesion contacts to the nucleus in response to the increased wall tensionis, mediates the tension-induced endothelial signaling.

View SamplesRNAseq analysis of cell lines with ADAR1-p150 and ADAR1-p110 knock-outs and primary human tissue samples (from GSE57353 and GSE99392 data sets) to identify sites of ADAR1 editing Overall design: 12 samples: 3 cell lines (HeLa, HeLa-p150KO, HeLa-ADAR1KO) with four conditions each (no treatment, MeV-vac2(GFP)-infected, MeV-CKO(GFP)-infected, IFNA/D-treated). One biological replicate per sample. In addition, raw data files of 9 samples from series GSE57353 and GSE99392 were re-analyzed using the same data processing pipeline.
