Here we present gene expression analysis data on two vehicle treated and two CC214-2 (an mTOR kinase inhibitor) resistant GlioBlastoma Multiforme 39 (GBM39) xenografts, showing that the expressioin profiles of 88 genes are significantly different between the two groups.

View SamplesThe generation of specific types of neurons from stem cells offers important opportunities in regenerative medicine. However, future applications and proper verification of cell identities will require stringent ways to generate homogenous neuronal cultures. Here we show that under permissive culturing conditions individual transcription factors can induce a desired neuronal lineage from virtually all expressing cells by a mechanism resembling developmental binary cell fate switching. Such efficient selection of cell fate resulted in remarkable cellular enrichment that enabled global gene expression validation of generated neurons and identification of novel features in the studied cell lineages. Several sources of stem cells have a limited competence to differentiate into e.g. dopamine neurons. However, we show that the combination of factors that normally promote either regional or dedicated neuronal specification can overcome limitations in cellular competence and promote efficient reprogramming also in more remote neural contexts, including human neural progenitor cells.

View SamplesThe aim of this work was to determine the genes and mechanisms involved in IL-9- and CCL1-mediated protection against glucocorticoid-induced apoptosis. We made the hypothesis that the expression of the really critical mediators could be regulated in a reciprocal way by Dex on the one hand and anti-apoptotic cytokines such as IL-9 and CCL1 on the other hand.Therefore, we performed a comprehensive study of the genes expressed by BW5147 cells stimulated with or without Dex, IL-9 and CCL1, taking advantage of the Affymetrix microarray technology.

View SamplesOxidized phospoholipids are a pro-inflammatory component of minimally modified lipoproteins that get trapped in the subendothelial space of atherosclerotic plaques of large arteries. To model the response of endothelial cells in a pro-atherosclerotic enviroment we measured the expression in primary endothelial cells with and without treatment with oxidized phsopolipids from 96 genetically identical donors of anonymous origin.

View SamplesTo understand the molecular mechanisms of human lung macrophage development, function, and role in BPD pathogenesis, we conducted a clinical study using isolated tracheal aspirate macrophages from intubated preterm infants born before 30 wk gestation. One hundred twenty-eight patients intubated for respiratory distress syndrome and surfactant administration were consented for the study.
