Purpose: There is growing evidence that interaction between stromal and tumor cells is pivotal in breast cancer progression and response to therapy. Since the pioneer work of Allinen et al. suggested that during breast cancer progression striking changes occur in CD10+ stromal cells, we aimed to better characterize this cell population and its clinical relevance.

View SamplesCD4+ helper T (Th) cells are critical regulators of immune responses but their role in breast cancer is currently unknown. This work aims to characterize Th cells infiltrating invasive primary human breast tumors, analyze the influence by the tumor microenvironment and identify Th cell specific prognostic gene signatures. CD4+ T cells isolated from the tumor (TIL), axillary lymph node (LN) and blood (PB) of 10 patients were analyzed on Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. A confirmation set of 60 patients were studied by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR or immunohistochemistry and analyzed according to the extent of the tumor immune infiltrate. Gene expression profiles of freshly isolated TIL were also compared with TIL that had been rested overnight or with CD4+ T cells [non-stimulated (NS) or stimulated (S)] from healthy donor PB treated with tumor supernatant (SN).

View SamplesmiR-155 is a microRNA associated with poor prognosis in lymphoma and leukemia and has been implicated in the progression of Mycosis Fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In this study, we developed and tested Cobomarsen (MRG-106), a locked nucleic acid-modified oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155. In MF cell lines in vitro, inhibition of miR-155 with Cobomarsen de-repressed direct miR-155 targets, decreased expression of multiple gene pathways associated with cell survival, reduced survival signaling, decreased cell proliferation, and activated apoptosis.
Cobomarsen, an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155, co-ordinately regulates multiple survival pathways to reduce cellular proliferation and survival in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

View SamplesSCA1, a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, is caused by a CAG expansion encoding a polyglutamine stretch in the protein ATXN1. We used RNA-seq to profile cerebellar RNA expression in ATXN1 mice, including lines with ataxia and progressive pathology and lines having ataxia in absence of Purkinje cell progressive pathology. Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis of the cerebellar RNA-seq data revealed two gene networks that significantly correlated with disease, the Magenta (342 genes) and Light Yellow (35 genes) Modules. Features of the Magenta and Light Yellow Modules indicate they reflect distinctive pathways. The Magenta Module provides a description of suppressed transcriptional programs reflecting disease progression in Purkinje cells, while the Lt Yellow Module reflects other transcriptional programs activated in response to disease in Purkinje cells as well as other cerebellar cell types. We also found that up-regulation of cholecystokinin (Cck) blocked progression of Purkinje cell pathology and that loss of Cck function in mice lacking progressive disease enabled Purkinje cell pathology to progress to cell death.
