View SamplesWe have analyzed RNA-seq data to identify A-to-I editing sites in two groups of samples: one group isolated from human U87 cell line expressing an active ADAR3 mutant while the other isolated from U87 cell line expressing the inactive counterpart of the ADAR3 mutant. We compared these two groups of samples and identified sites whose editing levels are higher in the first group than in the second group. Overall design: Examine A-to-I editing sites in two group of samples.

View SamplesCell migration contributes to normal development and homeostasis as well as to pathological processes such as inflammation and tumor metastasis. Previous genetic screens have revealed a few major signaling pathways that govern follicle cell migrations in the Drosophila ovary, several of which elicit transcriptional responses. However few downstream targets of the critical transcriptional regulators, such as the C/EBP homolog SLBO, have been identified. To characterize the gene expression profile of two migratory cell populations and identify SLBO targets, we employed a magnetic bead based cell separation approach to purify border cells and centripetal cells expressing the mouse CD8 antigen, and carried out whole genome microarray analysis.

View SamplesCells can survive effector caspase (caspase 3/7) activation in response to transient apoptotic stimuli, a process named anastasis. To characterize the molecular events that occur during anastasis, we performed whole transcriptome RNA sequencing of untreated, apoptotic, and recovering cells. We found that anastasis is an active, two-stage program with unique transcriptional profiles in each stage. We also identified 10 genes that specific to the early stage of anastasis. Overall design: 3hr ethanol treatment was used to induce apoptosis in Hela cells. Ethanol was washed away after 3hr treatment to allow cells to recover. Total RNA was prepared from mock-treated cells, ethanol-treated cells and cells after 1hr, 2hr, 3hr, 4hr, 8hr, 12hr recovery, followed by ribosomal RNA depletion. 3 biological replicates were included for each group. Sequencing was done using Ion Proton.

View SamplesThe radiolabelled somatostatin analogue 177Lu-octreotate is a promising treatment option for malignant neuroendocrine tumors that overexpress somatostatin receptors. The human small intestine neuroendocrine tumor cell line GOT1 and Medullary thyroid carcinoma model GOT2 have shown promising treatment response to 177Lu-octreotate in xenografted mice. In clinical studies, however, only low cure rates have been achieved to date. In vitro and preclinical in vivo studies have shown that irradiation can up-regulate the expression of somatostatin receptors and thereby give an increased uptake of 177Lu-octreotate. The cellular processes that underlie positive treatment response to 177Lu-octreotate are otherwise largely unknown. Genome-wide analysis of tumor cell responses in this successful mouse model offers a venue to identify critical treatment parameters and to optimize clinical effectiveness of 177Lu-octreotate therapy. Combining 177Lu-octreotate with other anti-tumor agents has also been proposed as a strategy for optimization. Some studies have shown synergistic effects in tumor cell killing and volume reduction The hedgehog signaling pathway is involved in embryonic development and tissue regeneration and can be/is abnormally activated in various cancers. Inhibition of the hedgehog signaling pathway has yielded promising therapeutic effects on NE tumors and may potentially enhance the effects of 177Lu-octreotate treatment in patients.

View SamplesSeveral studies demonstrated IgVH mutation status and ZAP-70 expression as the most relevant prognostic markers in CLL, suggesting the separation of two patient subgroups: with good (MTZAP-70-) and poor prognosis (UMZAP-70+). We determined gene expression of B cells in 112 CLL patients divided into three classes: the first with IgVHMT and ZAP-70-, the second with IgVHUM and ZAP-70+, and the third included both IgVHUM ZAP-70- and IgVHMT ZAP-70+. We found LPL, AGPAT2, MBOAT1, CHPT1, AGPAT4, PLD1 genes encoding enzymes involved in lipid (glycerolipid/glycerophospholipid) metabolism overexpressed in UMZAP-70+. In addition, this study demonstrates the role of ARSD, a gene belonging to the sphingolipid metabolism, as a new gene significantly overexpressed in UMZAP-70+ in respect to MTZAP-70-. ARSD protein was found at significantly higher concentrations in UMZAP-70+ compared to MTZAP-70- CLL B cells and B cells from healthy individuals by Western blotting. Statistical analysis identified a strong correlation between ARSD and IgVH mutation status; ARSD protein level was associated with the requirement of therapy for CLL patients and for this purpose it is as good as IgVH mutational status. Our study highlights ARSD as a promising new prognostic factor in CLL and sphingolipid metabolism as a putative new biological mechanism in CLL.
Gene expression profiling identifies ARSD as a new marker of disease progression and the sphingolipid metabolism as a potential novel metabolism in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
