View SamplesExpression in GFP vs. GFP/hTERT transduced CD8 T Lymphocytes from Healty Donors (HD) 1 and 2 at early and late passages. Using CD8+ T lymphocyte clones over-expressing telomerase we investigated the molecular mechanisms that regulate T cell proliferation. Transduction and subcloning procedures were performed on CD8 + naive T-cell clones isolated from two different healthy individuals aged between 30 to 35 years (HD1 and HD2). T-cell cloneswere transduced to express hTERT/GFP or GFP alone.

View SamplesTo study the effect of balanced chromosomal rearrangements on gene expression, we compared the transcriptomes of cell lines from control and t(11;22)(q23;q11) individuals. This translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22 is the only recurrent constitutional non-Robertsonian translocation in humans. The number of differentially expressed transcripts between the translocated and control cohort is significantly higher than that observed between control samples alone, suggesting that balanced rearrangements have a greater effect on gene expression than normal variation. Altered expression is not limited to genes close to the translocation breakpoint suggesting that a long-range effect is operating. Indeed we show that the nuclear position of the derivative chromosome is altered compared to the normal chromosomes. Our results are consistent with recent studies that indicate a functional role for nuclear position in regulating the expression of some genes in mammalian cells. They may also have implications on reproductive separation, as we show that reciprocal translocations not only provide partial isolation for speciation but also significant changes in transcriptional regulation through alteration of nuclear chromosomes territories.

View SamplesPrimary tumor growth induces host tissue responses that are believed to support and promote tumor progression. Identification of the molecular characteristics of the tumor microenvironment and elucidation of its crosstalk with tumor cells may therefore be crucial for improving our understanding of the processes implicated in cancer progression, identifying potential therapeutic targets, and uncovering stromal gene expression signatures that may predict clinical outcome. A key issue to resolve, therefore, is whether the stromal response to tumor growth is largely a generic phenomenon, irrespective of the tumor type, or whether the response reflects tumor-specific properties. To address similarity or distinction of stromal gene expression changes during cancer progression, oligonucleotide-based Affymetrix microarray technology was used to compare the transcriptomes of laser-microdissected stromal cells derived from invasive human breast and prostate carcinoma. Invasive breast and prostate cancer-associated stroma was observed to display distinct transcriptomes, with a limited number of shared genes. Interestingly, both breast and prostate tumor-specific dysregulated stromal genes were observed to cluster breast and prostate cancer patients, respectively, into two distinct groups with statistically different clinical outcomes. By contrast, a gene signature that was common to the reactive stroma of both tumor types did not have survival predictive value. Univariate Cox analysis identified genes whose expression level was most strongly associated with patient survival. Taken together, these observations suggest that the tumor microenvironment displays distinct features according to the tumor type that provides survival-predictive value.

View SamplesGlioblastoma (GBM) derived sphere lines and adherent cell lines are an important tool for research in basic and translational neuro-oncology. Documentation of their genetic identity has become a requirement for scientific journals and grant applications to exclude cross-contamination and misidentification that lead to misinterpretation of results. Here, we report expression data for 26 samples including 4 GBM derived sphere lines (4 x 3 replicates), 2 GBM derived sphere lines passaged through intracranial transplantation (2x 1), 2 adherent GBM derived cell lines (2 + 2 x 3 replicates), 4 corresponding glioblastoma tumors and 2 non-tumor brain tissues.

View SamplesThe transcription factor Tcf1 plays an essential role for the development of NK cells, however, its precise role for NK cell development, maturation and function is poorly understood. Here we show that distinct domains of Tcf1 direct bone marrow progenitors towards the NK cell lineage and mediate lineage commitment and NK cell expansion, and that Tcf1 downregulation is required for terminal NK cell maturation. Impaired NK cell development in the absence of Tcf1 is explained by increased cell death due to excessive expression of Granzyme family proteins, which results in NK cell self-destruction. In addition, excessive Granzyme B expression leads to target cell induced NK cell death and consequently reduced target cell killing by NK cells lacking Tcf1. Mechanistically, Tcf1 prevents excessive Granzyme B expression by binding to a newly identified enhancer element upstream of the Granzyme B locus. These data identify an unexpected requirement to limit the expression of cytotoxic effector molecules for lymphocyte development.
