Human coronary smooth muscle cells were treated with two different -blocker (metoprolol and nebivolol). RNA from three replicates of each, treated and the untreated control group, were isolated and the expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genechip U133A arrays. Comparisons between the sample groups allow the identification of genes with different expression patterns between the treated and untreated control cells.

View SamplesChimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-expressing T-cells induce durable remissions in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies. CARs are artificial constructs introduced into mature T-cells conferring a second, non-MHC restricted specificity in addition to the endogenous T-cell receptor (TCR). The impact of TCR activation on CAR T-cell efficacy in vivo has important implications for clinical optimization of CAR T-cell therapy, but cannot be systematically evaluated in xenograft models. Using an immunocompetent, syngeneic murine model of CD19-targeted CAR T-cell therapy for pre-B cell ALL, we demonstrate loss of CD8 CAR T-cell mediated clearance of leukemia associated with T-cell exhaustion and apoptosis when TCR antigen is present. CD4 CAR T-cells demonstrate equivalent cytotoxicity, as compared to CD8 CAR T-cells, and in contrast, retain in vivo efficacy in the presence of TCR stimulation. Gene expression profiles confirm increased exhaustion and apoptosis of CAR8 upon dual receptor stimulation compared to CAR4, and indicate inherent differences in T-cell pathways.
TCR engagement negatively affects CD8 but not CD4 CAR T cell expansion and leukemic clearance.

View SamplesTo identify markers associated with inherent cellular sex-identity, we analysed cultured macrophages from male and female chick embryos. We found that male and female macrophages respond differently to stimulation by bacterial lipopolysaccharide and that female macrophages constitutively express higher levels of interferon target genes than male macrophages. To determine whether these differences resulted from the actions of gonadal hormones, we induced gonadal sex-reversal to alter the hormonal environment of the developing chick and analysed different tissues and macrophages from male and female embryos.

View SamplesE-FABP is dominately expressed in macrophages/dendritic cells. Thus E-FABP may play a siginificant role in their immune response to tumor insult. We treated mouse GM-BMMs of different genotype with E0771 breast cancer cells. Then we investigate the global gene expression in these GM-BMMs in response to tumor treatment.
Fatty acid-binding protein E-FABP restricts tumor growth by promoting IFN-β responses in tumor-associated macrophages.

View SamplesPreparation of exosomes isolated from semen contain a substantial amount of RNA, mostly from 20 to 100 nucleotides in length. We sequenced separately 20-40 and 40-100 nucleotide fractions of RNA from exosomes isolated from semenal fluid from six healthy donors. We found various classes of small non-coding RNA, including mature microRNA and piwi-RNA, as well as abundant Y RNAs and tRNAs present in both full length and fragmented forms. Specific RNAs were consistently present in all donors. For example, fifteen (of ~2,600 known) microRNAs constituted over 80% of mature microRNA in SE. Additionally, tRNA fragments were strongly enriched for 5’-ends of 18-19 or 30-34 nucleotides in length. Overall design: Size-fractionated small RNA profiles from exosomes isolated from the seminal fluid of six healthy donors
Exosomes in human semen carry a distinctive repertoire of small non-coding RNAs with potential regulatory functions.

View SamplesSignalling via the colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) controls the survival, differentiation and proliferation of macrophages which are a source of the somatic growth factor insulin growth factor 1 (IGF1). Treatment of newborn mice with CSF1 has previously been shown to produce an increase in somatic growth rate and we hypothesised that treatment of neonatal low birth weight (LBW) rats with CSF1 would do the same. Growth rates were not affected, yet CSF1 treatment caused an unexpectedly large, but reversible increase in liver size and hepatic fat deposition in both normal and LBW rats. By transcriptional profiling, we have highlighted numerous CSF1-regulated genes known to be involved in lipid droplet formation in the liver and novel candidate genes for further investigation. In contrast to mice and weaner pigs, CSF1 treatment did not increase hepatocyte proliferation in neonatal rats, rather the data were consistent with increased macrophage proliferation instead. This suggests that Kupffer cells promote lipid accumulation in neonates and treatment to ablate CSF1R signalling may reverse lipid accumulation in the liver.
