Strain-specific activation of the NF-kappaB pathway by GRA15, a novel Toxoplasma gondii dense granule protein.

View SamplesToxoplasma strains have been shown to modulate host cell transcription. We have found a type II Toxoplasma gene, GRA15, which activates the nuclear translocation of the NF-kappaB p65 transcription factor.

View SamplesWe studied the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of the HDAC inhibitor Givinostat/ITF2357 in BCP-ALL with CRLF2 rearrangements. We used BCP-ALL CRLF2- rearranged MHH-CALL4 and MUTZ5 cell lines as well as blasts from CRLF2 rearranged BCP-ALL patients and patients derived xenograft samples. We conclude that Givinostat may represent a novel and effective tool, in combination with current chemotherapy, to treat this subsets of ALL with poor prognosis and chemotherapy-related toxicity.
The histone deacetylase inhibitor givinostat (ITF2357) exhibits potent anti-tumor activity against CRLF2-rearranged BCP-ALL.

View SamplesRNA-Seq analysis of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia samples Overall design: We sequenced leukemic mRNA from 13 Atypical Cronic Mieloid Leukemia (aCML) samples by Illumina GAIIx. Transcriptomic profiles, differentially expressed genes and pathway enrichment analysis were obtained comparing 7 SETBP1-mutated samples and 6 non-mutated (WT) samples by using TopHat aligner and SAMMate gene expression quantifier. We focused on the gene expression profile of known coding transcripts. A dataset of 20,907 protein-coding Ensembl Genes was obtained from the RNA-Seq by using the Human Ensembl GTF annotation file vs54 dowloaded from ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-54/gtf/homo_sapiens/.

Subject
View SamplesTranscriptome analysis was performed from human U87 glioblastoma cell clones: U87 IRE1.NCK DN (U87dn, IRE1 dominant negative) and U87 control (U87ctrl, empty plasmid). Cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and glutamine for 16 hours in culture prior mRNA isolation and analyses
Inositol-requiring enzyme 1alpha is a key regulator of angiogenesis and invasion in malignant glioma.
Cell line
View SamplesSeventeen T-ALL patients out of 120 (14.2%) presented CRLF2 expression 5 times higher than the median (CRLF2-high) with a significantly inferior 5-y EFS and an increased CIR compared to CRLF2-low patients.GEP of 15 T-ALL patients with (CRLF2-high) were compared to 15 CRLF2-low patients. GSEA identified cell cycle deregulating gene sets.
CRLF2 over-expression is a poor prognostic marker in children with high risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Disease
View SamplesIn the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cleavage factor I (CFI) and cleavage and polyadenylation factor (CPF) build the core of the transcription termination machinery. CFI comprises the Rna14, Rna15, Pcf11, and Clp1 proteins, as well as the associated Hrp5 RNA-binding protein. We found that CFI participates in the DNA damage response and that rna14-1 shows synthetic growth defects with mutants of different repair pathways, including homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, post replicative repair, mismatch repair, and nucleotide excision repair, implicating that impaired RNAPII termination and 3-end processing decreases the cellular tolerance for DNA damage. Beyond replication progression defects, we found that bypass of the G1/S checkpoint in rna14-1 cells leads to synthetic sickness, accumulation of phosphorylated H2A, as well as increase in Rad52-foci and in recombination. Our data provide evidence that CFI dysfunction impairs RNAPII turnover, leading to replication hindrance and lower tolerance to exogenous DNA damage. These findings underscore the importance of coordination between transcription termination, DNA repair and replication in the maintenance of genomic stability.
