View SamplesLactobacilli are probiotics that, among other health promoting effects, have been ascribed immunostimulating and virus preventive properties. Certain lactobacilli species have been shown to possess strong IL-12 inducing properties. As IL-12 production depends on the up-regulation of type I interferons, we hypothesized that the strong IL-12 inducing capacity of L. acidophilus NCFM in murine bone marrow derived DC is caused by an up-regulation of IFN-, which subsequently stimulates the induction of IL-12 and the dsRNA binding toll like receptor (TLR)-3. The expression of the genes encoding IFN-, IL-12, IL-10 and TLR-3 in DC upon stimulation with L. acidophilus NCFM was measured. L. acidophilus NCFM induced a much stronger expression of ifn-, il-12 and il-10 compared to the synthetic dsRNA ligand Poly I:C, whereas the levels of expressed tlr-3 were similar. By the use of whole genome microarray gene expression, we investigated whether other genes related to the viral defence were up-regulated in DC upon stimulation with L. acidophilus NCFM and found that various virus defence related genes, both early and late, were among the strongest up-regulated genes. The IFN- stimulating capability was also detected in another L. acidophilus strain, but was not a property of other probiotic bacteria tested (B. bifidum and E. coli nissle).The IFN- inducing capacity was markedly reduced in TLR-2 -/- DCs, dependent on endocytosis and the major cause of the induction of il-12 and tlr-3 in L. acidophilus NCFM stimulated cells. Collectively, our results reveal that certain lactobacilli trigger the expression of viral defence genes in DC in a TLR-2 manner through induction of IFN- .

View SamplesTodays diagnostic tests for multiple myeloma (MM) reflect the criteria of the updated WHO classification based on biomarkers and clinicopathologic heterogeneity. To that end, we propose a new subtyping of myeloma plasma cells (PC) by B-cell subset associated gene signatures (BAGS), from the normal B-cell hierarchy in the bone marrow (BM). To do this, we combined FACS and GEP data from normal BM samples to generate classifiers by BAGS for the PreBI, PreBII, immature (Im), nave (N), memory (M) and PC subsets. The resultant tumor assignments in available clinical datasets exhibited similar BAGS subtype frequencies in four cohorts across 1302 individual cases. The prognostic impact of BAGS was analyzed in patients treated with high dose melphalan as first line therapy in three prospective trials: UAMS, HOVON65/GMMG-HD4 and MRC Myeloma IX with Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarray data available from diagnostic myeloma PC samples. The BAGS subtypes were significantly associated with progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (PFS, P=3.05e06 and OS, P=1.06e11) in a meta-analysis of 926 pts. The major impact was observed within the PreBII and M subtypes conferred with significant inferior prognosis compared to the Im, N and PC subtypes. Cox proportional hazard meta-analysis documented that the BAGS subtypes added significant and independent prognostic information to the TC classification system and ISS staging. BAGS subtype analysis identified transcriptome differences and a number of novel differentially spliced genes. We have identified hierarchal subtype differences in the myeloma plasma cells, with prognostic impact. This observation support an acquired reversible B-cell trait and phenotypic plasticity as a hallmark, also in MM.

View SamplesThe RNA-binding protein FUS is implicated in transcription, alternative splicing of neuronal genes and DNA repair. Mutations in FUS have been linked to human neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). We genetically disrupted fus in zebrafish (Danio rerio) using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. The fus knockout animals are fertile and did not show any distinctive phenotype. Mutation of fus induces mild changes in gene expression on the transcriptome and proteome level in the adult brain. We observed a significant influence of genetic background on gene expression and 3’UTR usage, which could mask the effects of loss of Fus. Unlike published fus morphants, maternal zygotic fus mutants do not show motoneuronal degeneration and exhibit normal locomotor activity. Overall design: We performed paired-end sequencing (100bp reads) of the polyA+ transcriptome from brains of five individuals with Fus-/- genotype and four with Fus wild type genotype. Note on RNA-Seq replicates: after performing first RNA sequencing on four replicates of Fus-/- and WT (labeled with the prefix "Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") we received a notice from Illumina stating a problem with the library preparation kit lot that was used to prepare the libraries. Due to that, we performed RNA sequencing a second time, using the same input RNA, except for the Fus knockout replicate #3, because there was not enough input RNA left. Instead, a different Fus knockout replicate (#1) was sequenced. However, we compared the mapped reads from sequencing run 1 and sequencing run 2 using plotCorrelaction from DeepTools, and the samples are highly correlated (at least 0.97 and 0.95, Spearman and Pearson correlation respectively). Therefore, we considered first ("Sample_imb_ketting_2014_13_") and second sequencing runs as technical replicates.
