View SamplesWe have found that some tumor infiltrating lymphocytes in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumor expressed low intensity of FOXP3 with flow cytometry assays, resulting in the presence of certain amount of tumor infiltrating FOXP3lo cells in subpopulation of CRC tumor tissues. To clarify different gene expression paterns between CRC tumors with high FOXP3lo cell infiltration and without these cell infilrtraion, we performed microarray analyses with total mRNA extracted from whole tumor tissues with high FOXP3lo cell infiltration (n=2) and low FOXP3lo cell infiltration (n=2). Comparison of gene expression profiles revealed that genes involved in immune responses and inflammation were significantly up-regulated in tumor with high FOXP3lo cell infiltration.

View SamplesRecently, acute kidney injury (AKI) is thought to develop a predisposition toward chronic kidney disease. But the detailed mechanism of the disease progression after AKI is unknown. We made two ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) mice models, repaired kidney model and atrophic kidney model, and studied the mechanism that kidney after IRI became atrophy. We found that the atrophy kidney model had two peaks of apoptosis 3 and 14 days after IRI, whereas the repaired kidney model had only one apoptosis peak 3 days after IRI. We showed that the second apoptosis is responsible for the kidney atrophy. Moreover, apoptotic ligands, TNF and FasL were upregulated at the same time of two apoptosis peaks on the atrophic kidney, and blockade of them before IRI prevented kidney from falling into atrophy. Surprisingly, inhibition of the second apoptosis by anti-TNF antibody protected from renal atrophy. We propose that apoptosis might play a major role in AKI progression and blockade of TNF after IRI will be a new therapeutic approach for AKI.

View SamplesRSK2 is a serine/threonine kinase downstream signaling mediator in the RAS/ERK signaling pathway and may be a therapeutic target in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). RSK2-Ser227 in the N-terminal kinase domain (NTKD) of RSK2 was found to be ubiquitously active in five MCL-derived cell lines and in tumor tissues derived from five MCL patients. BI-D1870, an inhibitor specific to RSK2-NTKD, caused RSK2-Ser227 dephosphorylation, and thereby, induced dose-dependent growth inhibition via G2/M cell cycle blockade and apoptosis. Comparative gene expression profiling of the MCL-derived cell lines showed that inhibition of RSK2-Ser227 by BI-D1870 caused downregulation of oncogenes, such c-MYC and MYB; anti-apoptosis genes, such as BCL2 and BCL2L1; genes for B cell development, including IKZF1, IKZF3 and PAX5; and genes constituting the B cell receptor signaling pathway, such as CD19, CD79B and BLNK. These findings show that targeting of RSK2-Ser227 enables concomitant blockade of pathways that are critically important in B cell tumorigenesis.
