We used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes during esophageal epithelial differentiation and in the presence of interleukin 13 using an air-liquid interface culture system. Overall design: RNA sequencing was performed on a human esophageal epithelial cell line (EPC2-hTERT) grown submerged (day 8) or at the air-liquid interface (ALI) (day 14, untreated or treated with interleukin 13 [100 ng/mL])
Eosinophilic esophagitis-linked calpain 14 is an IL-13-induced protease that mediates esophageal epithelial barrier impairment.

View SamplesCalicum plays critical roles in developing T cells, promoting survival, proliferation, and differentiation at multiple stages of maturation. Calcium release from intracellular stores due to T cell receptor and pre-T cell receptor signaling is thought to require the inositol triphosphate receptors (Itpr), however the requirement for these receptors has not been investigated. We used microarrays to examine gene expression differences between control and Itpr deficient T cell progenitors.

View SamplesHematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are at the basis of the hematopoietic hierarchy. Their ability to self-renew and differentiate is strictly controlled by molecular signals produced by their surrounding micorenvironments composed of stromal cells. HSPCs first emerge in the AGM (Aorta Gonads Mesonephros) region, amplify in the fetal liver (FL) and are maintained in the adult bone marrow (BM). To further characterize the molecular program of the HSPC niches, we have compared the global transcriptome of HSPC-supportive and non/less-supportive stromal clones established from the AGM, FL and BM.

View SamplesWe investigated the biological features of FL and their relationship to patients outcome. Gene expression analysis was carried out on diagnosis biopsies from 148 follicular lymphoma patients enrolled in the PRIMA clinical trial. We developed a gene expression-based predictor of progression-free survival (PFS) in high-tumour burden FL patients and we analysed gene-expression signatures reflecting different aspects of tumour biology for their association with outcome. proposition SH: We investigated the biological features of FL and their relationship to patients outcome.

View SamplesSome infectious agents are associated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma development. Here we have used p53-deficient mice chronically injected with Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) with the aim to develop an animal model of infection-associated lymphomagenesis. We show that repeated stimulations with heat-killed Spn significantly enhanced the incidence of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in these mice. Phenotypic studies and gene expression profile analyses indicate that these PTCL arose from chronically stimulated natural killer T (NKT) cells, a T cell lineage that exhibits unique properties. Furthermore, lymphoma development was blocked when these PTCL were transferred to recipients lacking CD1d expression or treated with blocking CD1d mAbs, thus demonstrating that in vivo TCR/CD1d interactions are required for these PTCL survival. In conclusion, we have identified a new entity of peripheral T-cell lymphoma that originates from CD1d-restricted natural killer T (NKT) cells. Our results could refine the classification of PTCL and pave the way for the development of new immunotherapeutic approaches.

View SamplesGlobal microarray (HG U133 Plus 2.0) was used to investigate the effects of resistance exercise and resistance training on the skeletal muscle transcriptome profile of 28 young and old adults. Vastus lateralis muscle biopsies were obtained pre and 4hrs post resistance exercise in the beginning (untrained state) and at the end (trained state) of a 12 wk progressive resistance training program.
