Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
A catalytic role has been proposed in neoplastic angiogenesis and cancer progression for bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). However, in preclinical and clinical studies the quantitative role of marrow-derived EPCs in cancer vascularization was found to be extremely variable. Adipose tissue represents an attractive source of autologous adult stem cells due to its abundance and surgical accessibility. CD34+cells from Lipotransfer aspirates (LAs) of patients undergoing breast reconstruction after breast cancer surgery were compared with CD34+ cells from Leucapheresis of normal subjects.
Publication Title
The white adipose tissue used in lipotransfer procedures is a rich reservoir of CD34+ progenitors able to promote cancer progression.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U95 Version 2 Array (hgu95av2)
Description
We show the molecular and functional characterization of a novel population of lineage-negative CD34-negative (Lin- CD34-) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients at diagnosis. Molecular caryotyping and quantitative analysis of BCR/ABL transcript demonstrated that about one third of CD34- was leukemic. CML CD34- cells showed kinetic quiescence and limited clonogenic capacity. However, stroma-dependent cultures and cytokines induced CD34 expression on some HSCs, cell cycling, acquisition of clonogenic activity and increased expression of BCR/ABL transcript. CML CD34- cells showed an engraftment rate in immunodeficient mice similar to that of CD34+ cells. Gene expression profiling revealed the down-regulation of cell cycle arrest genes together with genes involved in antigen presentation and processing, while the expression of angiogenic factors was strongly up-regulated when compared to normal counterparts. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed the significant down-regulation of HLA class I and II molecules in CML CD34-cells. Increasing doses of imatinib mesilate (IM) did not affect fusion transcript levels, BCR-ABL kinase activity and the clonogenic efficiency of CML CD34- cells as compared to leukemic CD34+cells.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Peripherally derived macrophages infiltrate the brain after bone marrow transplantation and during central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. It was initially suggested that these engrafting cells were newly derived microglia and that irradiation was essential for engraftment to occur. However, it remains unclear whether brain-engrafting macrophages (beMfs) acquire a unique phenotype in the brain, whether long-term engraftment may occur without irradiation, and whether brain function is affected by the engrafted cells. In this study, we demonstrate that chronic, partial microglia depletion is sufficient for beMfs to populate the niche and that the presence of beMfs does not alter behavior. Furthermore, beMfs maintain a unique functional and transcriptional identity as compared with microglia. Overall, this study establishes beMfs as a unique CNS cell type and demonstrates that therapeutic engraftment of beMfs may be possible with irradiation-free conditioning regimens. Overall design: Microglia were isolated from the brains of adult male c57BL/6 mice given bone marrow tranplants (BMT) with or without head shield. All mice received PLX5622 for 2 weeks, then placed and normal chow to recoever. Some mice were then challenged with LPS. Cells were isolated by MACS using CD11b magnetic beads.

Overall design: Mice were given 1000rad whole body irradiation, followed by bone marrow transplant with UBC-GFP bone marrow at 8 weeks of age. Engraftment was allowed to occur for 8 months, then engrafting macrophages and microglia were isolated from whole brains for RNA-Seq.

Description
The aim of this experiment was to investigate differential gene expression in splenocytes stimulated with BCG from nave and BCG vaccinated mice. The differences between nave and BCG vaccinated mice might indicate the mechanisms by which BCG vaccination confers an enhanced ability of splenocytes from BCG vaccinated mice to inhibit growth of BCG in splenocyte cultures as compared with splenocytes from naive animals.

Description
The irreversible decarboxylation step, which commits 2-oxo acids to the Ehrlich pathway, was initially attributed to pyruvate decarboxylase. However, the yeast genome was shown to harbour no fewer than 5 genes that show sequence similarity with thiamine-diphosphate dependent decarboxylase genes. Three of these (PDC1, PDC5 and PDC6) encode pyruvate decarboxylases { while ARO10 and THI3 represent alternative candidates for Ehrlich-pathway decarboxylases.

Description
Human medulloblastoma (MB) can be segregated into four major categories based on gene expression patterns: Hedgehog (HH) subtype, Wnt subtype, Group 3, and Group 4. However, they all exhibit strikingly different gene expression profiles from Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT). We re-analyzed published gene expression microarray dataset of pediatric brain tumors to identify a gene expression profile that clearly distinguished human AT/RT from human MB. We used this profile, choosing only genes that have clear murine orthologs, to compare tumors from Snf5F/Fp53L/LGFAP-Cre mice (in C57Bl/6 strain background) with MB from Ptc1+/- mice (in mixed C57Bl/6 and 129Sv strain background). Snf5F/Fp53L/LGFAP-Cre tumors are clearly very different from mouse MB and the markers that distinguish human AT/RT from human MB also distinguish the mouse tumors.
