Transcription profiling of human lymphoblast cell lines from 13 unrelated index patients and siblings

ABSTRACT: Recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is often caused by nonsense mutations that lead to low mRNA levels as a result of nonsense-mediated decay. Some RP genes are expressed at detectable levels in leukocytes as well as in the retina. We designed a microarray-based method to find recessive RP genes based on low lymphoblast mRNA expression levels Experiment Overall Design: We established lymphoblast cell lines from 13 unrelated index patients with recessive RP as well all of their affected siblings (1 sibship with 4 affected members, 5 with 2 affected members, and 7 isolates) and 4 controls. RNA was isolated and hybridized on Affymetrix genechip Human Genome U133Plus2.0. After normalization, expression levels of the individual families were compared to the other samples; significance was tested using the Student t-test. The most significant suitable candidate genes were sequenced to screen for disease causing mutations and/or analyzed for segregation in the family.

Here we describe two families with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary neurodegeneration of rod and cone photoreceptors in the retina. Affected family members were homozygous for loss-of-function mutations in IDH3B, encoding the beta-subunit of NAD-specific isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-IDH, or IDH3), which is believed to catalyze the oxidation of isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate in the citric acid cycle. Cells from affected individuals had a substantial reduction of NAD-IDH activity, with about ...[more]

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of cell cycle exit are poorly understood. A group of genes required for cell cycle exit and maintenance of cell quiescence in human fibroblasts following serum deprivation has been recently identified. Studies on lymphocytes following growth factor deprivation-induced cell cycle exit have predominantly focused on the initiation of apoptosis. A set of genes involved in lymphocyte quiescence have also been identified among genes highly expressed in resting lymphocytes and down-regulated after cell activation. In our study, proliferating IL-2-dependent human T cells were forced to exit cell cycle by growth factor withdrawal, and their gene expression profiles were examined. The differential gene expression analysis was performed in primary and immortalized IL-2-dependent T lymphocytes. Cell samples were collected directly from the IL-2-containing cultures and 8-hrs following IL-2 withdrawal, before apoptosis could be evidenced by the Annexin-V staining. The three primary T lymphoblast cell populations were obtained from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) stimulated for 24h by wheat germ agglutinin and cultured in the presence of IL-2 up to 4-8 population doublings. As shown by the cell surface analysis, these populations were composed of T cells exclusively. Samples of these cell populations were subsequently analyzed as biological replicates. Two spontaneously immortalized IL-2-dependent T cell lines were derived from normal spleen and from PBMC derived from Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome patient. Gene expression was assessed by the Affymetrix microarray HG-U133 2.0 Plus that detects 38,500 genes. The expression of a selected number of genes was verified by the qRT-PCR method. We have identified a set of 53 genes that we called a Ã¢??T lymphocyte cell cycle exit signatureÃ¢??, comprised of 13 up-regulated and 40 down-regulated genes. Genes linked to transcription, cell cycle, cell growth, proliferation and differentiation, cell adhesion and immune functions were found to be overrepresented among the differentially expressed, before and after IL-2 deprivation. Among those, PIM1, BCL2, IL-8, HBEGF, DUSP6, OSM, CISH, SOCS2, SOCS3, LIF and IL13 were down-regulated and RPS24, SQSTM1, TMEM1, LRRC8D, ECOP, YY1AP1, C1orf63, ASAH1, SLC25A46 and MIA3 were up-regulated. Identification of genes involved in cell cycle exit and quiescence, may provide new insights into the mechanisms of tissue repair and regeneration as well as of cancer development. Experiment Overall Design: Cell sources and cell sample preparation. Experiment Overall Design: Samples of three primary, IL-2-dependent T lymphoblast cell lines, derived from three healthy donors (j, 43, 6) were collected from IL-2-containing culture and 8-hrs following IL-2 withdrawal (three pairs, each sample was analyzed once = 6 samples). Experiment Overall Design: The two spontaneously immortalized IL-2-dependent T cell lines were derived from normal spleen (line5) and from PBMC derived from a Nijmegen Breakage Syndrome patient (S9). Samples of the two immortalized cell lines were collected in three biological replicates each, from the cultures with and without IL-2 (2 x 2 x 3 = 12 samples).
