View SamplesGene expression in wild-type and p38a-knockout dendritic cells (DCs) were compared. Lymph node dendritic cells were isolated from mice, and left unstimulated and stimulated with Pam3CSK4, a toll-like receptor 2 agonist.

View SamplesWe used the myoma model in conjunction with gene expression profiling with microarray data as an efficient tool for high throughput analysis and to screen for differentially expressed genes. Our aim was to identify candidates playing an important role in SLPI and/or MMP-promoted tumor invasion by comparing oral carcinoma Ca9-22 cells, which highly express secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) gene, with SLPI-deficient Ca9-22 cells.

View SamplesThe tissue-specific pattern of mRNA expression can indicate important clues about gene function. High-density oligonucleotide arrays offer the opportunity to examine patterns of gene expression on a genome scale. Toward this end, we have designed custom arrays that interrogate the expression of the vast majority of protein-encoding human and mouse genes and have used them to profile a panel of 79 human and 61 mouse tissues. The resulting data set provides the expression patterns for thousands of predicted genes, as well as known and poorly characterized genes, from mice and humans. We have explored this data set for global trends in gene expression, evaluated commonly used lines of evidence in gene prediction methodologies, and investigated patterns indicative of chromosomal organization of transcription. We describe hundreds of regions of correlated transcription and show that some are subject to both tissue and parental allele-specific expression, suggesting a link between spatial expression and imprinting.

View SamplesUnder hypoxic conditions, nitroimidazole compounds accumulate in cells in their reduced form and have oxygen-mimetic effects, serving as markers of hypoxia and radiosensitizers. The full potential of their bioreductive metabolism, including cytotoxicity for cancer stem cells, has not been sufficiently explored, however. Here we investigated the changes in gene expression induced by treatment with 2-nitroimidazole doranidazole in murine glioma stem cells, under normoxic or hypoxic conditions.

View SamplesWe analyzed the effects of cellular context on the function of the synovial sarcoma-specific fusion protein, SS18-SSX, using human pluripotent stem cells containing the drug-inducible SS18-SSX gene. To investigate the cell-type-dependent effecfts of SS18-SSX, we performed gene expression profiling experiments.

View SamplesRecent studies have shown that stem cell memory T (TSCM) cell-like properties are important for the successful adoptive immune therapy by the chimeric antigen receptor-engineered-T (CAR-T) cells. We previously reported that both human and murine activated T cells are converted into stem cell memory-like T (iTSCM) cells by co-culture with stromal OP9 cells expressing the NOTCH-ligand. However, the mechanism of NOTCH-mediated iTSCM reprogramming remains to be elucidated. Here, we report that the NOTCH/OP9 system efficiently converts conventional human CAR-T cells into TSCM-like CAR-T, “CAR-iTSCM” cells, and that the mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming plays a key role in this conversion. The NOTCH signals promote mitochondrial biogenesis and fatty acid synthesis during iTSCM formation, which are essential for the properties of iTSCM cells. We identified fork head box M1 (FOXM1) as a downstream target of NOTCH, which is responsible for these metabolic changes and the subsequent iTSCM differentiation. Like NOTCH-induced CAR-iTSCM cells, FOXM1-induced CAR-iTSCM cells possess superior antitumor potential compared to conventional CAR-T cells. We propose that the NOTCH- or FOXM1-driven CAR-iTSCM formation is an effective strategy for improving cancer immunotherapy.

View SamplesThe gene expression of murine splenic myeloid derived suppressor cells treated with Tff2 is characterized. The motivation of the study originates in the fact that Gr1+Cd11b+ myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which resemble immature myeloid cells (IMCs), expand during cancer in response to inflammatory cytokines and accumulate in the spleen. MDSCs promote neoplastic progression through their suppression of anti-tumourigenic cytotoxic T-cells. MDSCs are also rapidly expanded following acute insults, but in cancer as opposed to acute inflammation, MDSCs persist. It is now recognized that a vagally-mediated, anti-inflammatory reflex arc promoting acetylcholine secretion by Cd4+ (Cd44hiSelllo) T cells, is necessary for a return to homeostasis after an acute insult. Failure of this restorative neural circuit might contribute to unabated procarcinogenic inflammation, with the chronic expansion of MDSCs driving carcinogenesis. Trefoil factor 2 (Tff2) is a secreted anti-inflammatory peptide produced by both epithelial cells and a small subset of splenic T cell.
Neural innervation stimulates splenic TFF2 to arrest myeloid cell expansion and cancer.
