Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Cells undergoing apoptosis are known to modulate their tissue microenvironments. By acting on phagocytes, notably macrophages, apoptotic cells inhibit immunological and inflammatory responses and promote trophic signaling pathways. Paradoxically because of their potential to cause death of tumor cells and thereby militate against malignant disease progression, both apoptosis and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are often associated with poor prognosis in cancer. In order to better understand the influence of tumor cell apoptosis and in particular its effect on TAM, we investigated global gene expression signatures of undisturbed TAM engaged in engulfment of apoptotic tumor cells. We studied a xenograft model of an aggressive starry-sky non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Burkitts lymphoma (BL), in which apoptotic tumor cells are common and frequently observed in association with the starry-sky TAM (SS-TAM, so called because they appear histologically as stars in a sky of tumor cells) that accumulate in these tumors. We used a BL cell line (BL2) whose cells phenotypically resemble the tumor biopsy cells from which the line was derived including the capacity to undergo apoptosis constitutively. BL xenografts in SCID mice closely recapitulated the starry-sky histological picture of the human lymphoma. Due to the high sensitivity of macrophages to their environments, we adopted laser-capture microdissection of individual SS-TAM in BL xenografts in order to obtain unbiased in situ transcriptional profiles of these cells, which we compared specifically with those of similarly-captured macrophages, the tingible-body macrophages from normal germinal centers (GCM). The rationale for this comparison was based upon BL being a germinal center malignancy and tingible-body macrophages being regarded as normal equivalents of SS-TAM.

Description
The CMVpp65 protein contains 2 bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at 415-438aa and 537-561aa near the carboxy terminus of CMVpp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 having K436N (CMVpp65mII) and further deletion of aa537-561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO) that is kinase-less and has markedly reduced nuclear localization. The purpose of this report was to study the biologic characterization of this protein and its immunogenicity compared to native pp65.Using RNA microarray analysis, expression of the CMVpp65mIINLSKO had less effect on cell cycle pathways than did the native CMVpp65 and a greater effect on cell surface signalling pathways involving immune activity. It is concluded that the removal of the primary NLS motif from pp65 does not impair its immunogenicity and may actually be advantageous in the design of a vaccine.

Description
The use of low quality RNA samples in whole-genome gene expression profiling remains controversial. It is unclear if transcript degradation in low quality RNA samples occurs uniformly, in which case the effects of degradation can be normalized, or whether different transcripts are degraded at different rates, potentially biasing measurements of expression levels. This concern has rendered the use of low quality RNA samples in whole-genome expression profiling problematic. Yet, low quality samples are at times the sole means of addressing specific questions – e.g., samples collected in the course of fieldwork.
