Description
Background: The ability to predict the spatial frequency of relapses in multiple sclerosis (MS) would enable treating physicians to decide when to intervene more aggressively and to plan clinical trials more accurately. Methods: In the current study our objective was to determine if subsets of genes can predict the time to the next acute relapse in patients with MS. Data-mining and predictive modeling tools were utilized to analyze a gene-expression dataset of 94 non-treated patients; 62 patients with definite MS and 32 patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS). The dataset included the expression levels of 10,594 genes and annotated sequences corresponding to 22,215 gene-transcripts that appear in the microarray. Results: We designed a two stage predictor. The first stage predictor was based on the expression level of 10 genes, and predicted the time to next relapse with a resolution of 500 days (error rate 0.079, p< 0.001). If the predicted relapse was to occur in less than 500 days, a second stage predictor based on an additional different set of 9 genes was used, resulting in a prediction with a resolution of 50 days as to the timing of the next relapse. The error rate of this predictor was 2.3 fold lower than the error rate of random predictions (error rate = 0.35, p<0.001). The predictors were further evaluated and found effective not only in untreated patients but were also valid for MS patients which subsequently received immunomodulatory treatments after the initial testing (the error rate of the first level predictor was < 0.18 with p<0.001 for all the patient groups). Conclusions: We conclude that gene expression analysis is a valuable tool that can be used in clinical practice to predict future MS disease activity. Similar approach can be also useful for dealing with other autoimmune diseases that characterized by relapsing-remitting nature

Description
Earlier work has shown that pre-B cells can be converted into macrophages by the transcription factor C/EBP? at very high frequencies. Using this system we have now performed a systematic analysis of the question whether during transdifferentiation the cells transiently reactivate progenitor restricted genes or even retrodifferentiate. A transcriptome analysis of transdifferentiating cells showed that most genes are continuously up or downregulated, acquiring a macrophage phenotype within 5 days. In addition, we observed the transient reactivation of a subset of immature myeloid markers, as well as low levels of the progenitor markers Kit and Flt3 and a few lineage inappropriate genes. However, we were unable to observe the re-expression of cell surface marker combinations that characterize hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), including c-Kit and Flt3. This was the case even when C/EBPalpha was activated in pre-B cells under culture conditions that favor HSPC growth or when the transcription factor was activated in a time limited fashion. Together, our findings are consistent with the notion that the conversion from pre-B cells to macrophages is mostly direct and does not involve overt retrodifferentiation.

Description
We analysed the transcriptional signature in endothelial cells extracted from the bone marrow of mice engrafted with human AML and compared it to the one of mice engrafted with human normal hematopoietic cells Overall design: Immunodeficient mice were transplanted with human AML cells derived from patients, or with normal human hematopoietic cells derived from cord blood. Mice were sacrificed once assessed the bone marrow engraftment, and the bones were processed to isolate endothelial cells using the CD31 marker. RNA was extracted, sequencing libraries were prepared and sequenced.
