Transcription profiling of thymic mouse cells

ABSTRACT: Glucocorticoids (GC) are in most chemotherapy protocols for lymphoid malignancies, particularly childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) for their ability to induce apoptosis in malignant blast. The underlying mechanism, however, has so far only been investigated in model systems. This study comprises Affymetrix hgu133 plus 2.0 analyses of; Peripheral blood lymphoblasts purified at three time points (0h, 6-8h, 24h after treatment initiation) from 13 children under therapy for ALL . Treated samples were compared to untreated (0h). For comparison, expression profiles were generated from an adult ALL patient, peripheral blood lymphocytes from GC-exposed healthy donors, GC-sensitive and -resistant ALL cell lines and mouse thymocytes treated with GC in vivo and in vitro.
