View SamplesAnalysis of effect of long-term cryopreservation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that long-term cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with decreasing signal intensities over time.

View SamplesAnalysis of cryopreservation effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with a strong loss of signal intensities to background levels for several transcripts.

View SamplesAnalysis of long-term freezing on the stability of transcriptome profiles in PAXgene stabilized whole blood samples. In the present study it was tested if long-term freezing of PAXgene RNA tubes (up to one year) has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral whole blood samples. Results indicated that gene expression profiles of whole blood samples stabilized with PAXgene RNA tubes remain stable for at least 1 year.

View SamplesThe protease activity of the paracaspase MALT1 plays an important role in antigen receptor-mediated lymphocyte activation by controlling the activity of the transcription factor NF-kB and is thus essential for the expression of inflammatory target genes.

View SamplesBackground. Nuclear factor I-A (NFI-A), a phylogenetically conserved transcription/replication protein, plays a crucial role in mouse brain development. Previous studies showed that disruption of the Nfia gene in mice leads to perinatal lethality, corpus callosum agenesis, and hydrocephalus.

View SamplesDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most common form of lymphoma. We could show that in DLBCL cell lines the transcription factor NFAT is constitutively activated and drives the survival of a DLBCL subset. Aim of the analysis was to identify NFAT target genes in a NFAT-dependent (HBL-1) or -independent (HT) DLBCL cell line. To block NFAT activity, the DLBCL cells were treated with the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporin A (CsA) up to 48 h. With this approach, we identified several survival-related NFAT target genes in HBL-1 cells that might explain the toxic effects of calcineurin inhibitors.

View SamplesCD25+ regulatory T cells develop in the thymus (nTregs), but may also be generated in the periphery upon stimulation of naive CD4 T cells under appropriate conditions (iTregs). The mechanisms that regulate the generation of peripheral iTregs are largely unknown.

View SamplesGenome-wide association studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) identified a polymorphism (rs6897932) located in the coding region of the alpha chain of the cytokine receptor interleukin 7 receptor (IL7R) as a component that increases susceptibility to develop the disease. This single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) affects the splicing of the primary transcript leading to genotype-defined transcript ratios encoding either a full length membrane spanning form or a soluble receptor chain. Genotyping at the IL7R locus reveals that the region can be described by four haplotypes. Interestingly, only one out of three haplotypes harbouring the associated SNP is positively associated with MS whereas the other two do not show association. The minor allele containing haplotype shows a reduced susceptibility to develop MS. We hypothesized that additional functional or phenotypic differences exist between individuals homozygous for haplotypes shown to have either positive, negative, or neutral effect, on susceptibility to develop MS. Gene expression profiles of CD4+ T cells from MS individuals before and after stimulation with IL7 were recorded. Haplotype-specific gene signatures were found indicating small alterations in IL7/IL7R signal processing/sensitivity through JAK/STAT and p38/MAPK14. We can not exclude that the obtained signatures result from differences within the CD4+ T cell compartment that, in fact, should be seen as a consequence of systemic haplotype-specific processing of homeostatic and proliferation signals transmitted through IL7/IL7R.
