Clinical heterogeneity of esrtrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative [ER(-)/PR(-)] breast cancer (BC) suggests biological heterogeneity. We performed gene expression analysis of primary BCs and BC cell lines to identify the underlying biology of ER(-)/PR(-) disease, define subsets, and identify potential therapeutic targets.

View SamplesThe mucosa that lines the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Using the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) rhesus macaque model, we have performed a comparative analysis of host gene expression in the lung and GI mucosa in response to SIV infection and antiretroviral therapy.
Enhanced innate antiviral gene expression, IFN-α, and cytolytic responses are predictive of mucosal immune recovery during simian immunodeficiency virus infection.

View SamplesA majority of individuals infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have inadequate access to antiretroviral therapy and ultimately develop debilitating oral infections that often correlate with disease progression. Our study evaluates the potential of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infected rhesus macaques to serve as a non-human primate model for oral manifestations of HIV disease.

View SamplesThe mucosa that lines the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts is an important portal of entry for pathogens and provides the frontline of immune defense against HIV infection. Epithelial barrier dysfunction during HIV infection has largely been attributed to the rapid and severe depletion of CD4 T cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this study, the poential role of small non-coding microRNA (miRNA) to contribute to epithelial dysfunction was investigated in the non-human primate SIV model and microarrays were utilized to determine changes in mucosal gene expression (non-miRNA) that could be correlated to miRNA modulatiolns.

View SamplesRenin, a key component in the regulation of blood pressure in mammals, is produced by the rare and highly specialized juxtaglomerular (JG) cells of the kidney. Although these cells line the media of the glomerular afferent arterioles and share some characteristics with contractile cells, they are filled with lysosome-like organelles where renin is activated and stored for regulated secretion in response to physiological and pathophysiological stimuli. Chronic stimulation of renin release results in a recruitment of new JG cells by the seeming conversion of adjacent smooth muscle cells along the afferent arterioles. Because JG cells rapidly de-differentiate when removed from the kidney, their developmental origin and the mechanism that explains their phenotypic plasticity remain largely unclear. In an effort to overcome this limitation, we have performed RNA expression analysis on four human renin-producing tumors. The most highly expressed genes that were common between the reninomas were subsequently used for in situ hybridization in mouse kidney. Our results add 40 new genes to the list that characterize renin-producing cells and reveal a significant variation in the expression patterns of developing, mature and recruited JG cells. Overall design: RNA-Seq was performed with a HiSeq 2000 on three biopsies of a first reninoma from Paris (Par1B1-B3), one biopsy from a reninoma from Montreal (Mon), two biopsies from a reninoma from Rotterdam (RotB1, B2), and a second reninoma from Paris (Par2) along with a biopsy from adjacent supposedly normal tissue from the same patient (Par2N).
