View SamplesPurpose: Unlike in most adult-onset cancers, an association between typical paediatric neoplasms and inflammatory triggers is rare. We studied whether immune system related genes are activated and have prognostic significance in Ewing sarcoma family of tumours (ESFT). Experimental design: Data-analysis was performed on gene expression profiles of 44 ESFT patient, 11 ESFT cell line, and 18 normal muscle tissue samples. 238 inflammation related genes were selected based on literature and a macrophage gene expression signature was derived from SymAtlas. Differential expression of the genes was analysed by t-test and survival analysis was performed according to gene expression.

View SamplesWe determined by RNA-seq gene expression changes in mESCs following the induced expression of WT-, KRA- or DEA-CBX2 variants in Cbx2 null cells. Overall design: We generated mRNA profiles from 5 mESC lines (2 WT, 2 KRA, 1 DEA) treated with doxycycline to express similar levels of CBX2, and, from a 6th condition where one of the KRA mESC lines was treated with more doxycycline. Each sample was compared to its own control, which is no doxycycline treatment, to determine the effect of induced CBX2 on gene expression changes. Each sample (with and without doxycycline treatment) was performed with 2 or 3 biological replicates.

View SamplesThe composition of the matrix molecules is important in in vitro cell culture experiments of e.g. human cancer invasion and vessel formation. Currently, the mouse Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm (EHS) sarcoma -derived products, such as Matrigel, are the most commonly used tumor microenvironment mimicking (TMEM) matrices for experimental studies. However, since Matrigel is non-human in origin, its molecular composition does not accurately simulate human TMEM and we expect myogel to be more natural environment for human cancer cells. The environment may have crucial impact on cell behavior and gene expression.

View SamplesMonoallelic expression of autosomal genes (MAE) is a widespread epigenetic phenomenon which is poorly understood, due in part to current limitations of genome-wide approaches for assessing it. Recently, we reported that a specific histone modification signature is strongly associated with MAE, and demonstrated that it can serve as a proxy of MAE in human lymphoblastoid cells (Nag et al. Elife. 2013 Dec 31;2:e01256). Here, we use murine cells to establish that this chromatin signature is conserved between mouse and human, and is associated with MAE in every tested cell type. Our analyses reveal extensive conservation in the identity of MAE genes between the two species. By applying MAE chromatin signature analysis to a large number of cell and tissue types, we show that the MAE state remains consistent during terminal cell differentiation and is predominant among cell-type specific genes, suggesting a link between MAE and specification of cell identity. Overall design: PolyA RNA purification and subsequent high-throughput sequencing were performed on two independent B-lymphoid clonal cell line, derived from 129S1/SvImJ x CAST/EiJ F1 mice and immortalized with Abelson murine leukemia virus, and on two independent fibroblast clonal cell lines, derived from 129S1/Sv x CAST/EiJ F1 and immortalized with SV40.

View SamplesIn a randomized controlled dietary intervention study we compared an isocaloric Healthy Nordic diet with the average Nordic diet for influence on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) gene expression. We studied obese adults with features of the metabolic syndrom, n=66. There was no significant difference in age, BMI, or gene expression between the groups before the intervention. The intervention lasted for 18-24 weeks.
