Description
Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of the hematopoietic system caused by the expression of the BCR/ABL fusion oncogene. It is well known that CML cells are genetically unstable. However, the mechanisms by which these cells acquire genetic alterations are poorly understood. Imatinib mesylate (IM) is the standard therapy for newly diagnosed CML patients. IM targets the oncogenic kinase activity of BCR-ABL. Objective: To study the gene expression profile of BM hematopoietic cells in the same patients with CML before and one month after imatinib therapy. Methods: Samples from patients with CML were analyzed using Affymetrix GeneChip Expression Arrays. Results: A total of 594 differentially expressed genes, most of which (393 genes) were downregulated, as a result of imatinib therapy were observed. Conclusions: The blockade of oncoprotein Bcr-abl by imatinib could cause a decrease in the expression of key DNA repair genes, and cells try to restore the normal gene expression levels required for cell proliferation and chromosomal integrity.

Description
CDKN1B (p27) was formally established as a tumor suppressor gene (tsg) following the identification of inactivating germline mutations in rats (MENX syndrome) and patients (MEN4 syndrome) developing multiple neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). MENX-affected rats are homozygous for the predisposing p27 mutation, suggesting a canonical tsg function. In contrast, mice heterozygous for a defective Cdkn1b allele are already predisposed to tumor formation (haploinsufficiency). We here report that heterozygous mutant rats (p27+/mut) develop the same NETs seen in the homozygous (p27mut/mut) animals but with slower progression. In the tumors of p27+/mut rats, the wild-type allele is neither lost nor silenced, implying that p27 is haploinsufficient for tumor suppression also in this model.

Description
As overwhelming evidence coming from transgenic mouse models but also from MEN4 patients seem to suggest that loss or inactivation of a single p27 allele plays an important role in neuroendocrine tumorigenesis, we decided to perform a detailed analysis of the phenotype of rats heterozygous for the MENX-associated germline Cdkn1b mutation. We here show that the reduction to a single functional p27 allele predisposes MENX heterozygous rats to the development of neuroendocrine malignancies.

Description
Werner syndrome (WS) is a human adult progeroid syndrome caused by loss-of-function mutations in the WRN RECQ helicase gene. We analyzed mRNA and miRNA expression in fibroblasts from WS patients and in fibroblasts depleted of WRN protein in order to determine the role of WRN in transcription regulation, and to identify genes and miRNAs that might drive WS disease pathogenesis. Genes altered in WS cells participate in cellular growth, proliferation and survival; in tRNA charging and in oncogenic signaling; and in connective tissue and developmental networks. Genes down-regulated in WS cells were highly enriched in Gquadruplex (G4) DNA motifs, indicating G4 motifs are physiologic substrates for WRN. In contrast, there was a remarkable, coordinate up-regulation of nearly all of the cytoplasmic tRNA synthetases and of genes associated with the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). These results identify canonical pathways that may drive the pathogenesis of Werner syndrome and associated disease risks.

Description
Obesity is a chronic, complex and multifactorial disease that has reached pandemia levels and is becoming a serious health problem. Intestinal microbiota is considered a main factor that affects body weight and fat mass, which points toward a critical role in the development of obesity. In this sense, probiotic bacteria might modulate the intestinal microbiota and the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of L. paracasei, L. rhamnosus and B. breve feeding on the intestinal mucosa gene expression in a genetic animal model of obesity.
Publication Title
Adamdec1, Ednrb and Ptgs1/Cox1, inflammation genes upregulated in the intestinal mucosa of obese rats, are downregulated by three probiotic strains.
