Project description:Lung cancers are a heterogeneous group of diseases with respect to biology and clinical behavior. Currently, diagnosis and classification are based on histological morphology and immunohistological methods for discrimination between two main histologic groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer which account for 20% and 80% of lung carcinomas, respectively. NSCLCs, which are divided into the three major subtypes adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and dedifferentiated large cell carcinoma, show different characteristics such as the expression of certain keratins or production of mucin and lack of neuroedocrine differentiation. The molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer involves the accumulation of genetic und epigenetic alterations including the activation of proto-oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes which are different for lung cancer subgroups. The development of microarray technologies opened up the possibility to quantify the expression of a large number of genes simultaneously in a given sample. There are several recent reports on expression profiling on lung cancers but the analysis interpretation of the results might be difficult because of the heterogeneity of cellular components. The methods used for sample selection and processing can have a strong influence on the expression values obtained through microarray profiling. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) provides higher specificity in the selection of target cells compared to traditional bulk tissue selection methods, but at an increased processing cost. Here we describe the use of an expression microarray study on NSCLC samples and surrounding tissue, comparing macroscopic lung tumor and tissue samples (“grind and bind”), versus tumor and alveolar compartment cells laser capture microdissected (LCM) from the same macroscopic lung samples. In this study, a set of 31 pairs and one non-paired sample of macroscopic tumor and non-tumor samples (10 pairs and 1 non-paired sample squamous-cell carcinoma, 19 pairs and one non-paired samples adenocarcinoma, 2 pairs adeno-squamous-cell carcinoma) was selected for bulk/macro sampling. Of these 31 pairs and 2 non-paired samples, 16 pairs plus 15 non paired samples were reanalyzed using laser capture microdissection (LCM) for sampling the cells (7 pairs and 3 non-paired samples squamous-cell carcinoma, 8 pairs and 11 non-paired samples adeno carcinomas, 1 pair and 1 non paired sample Adeno-squamous-cell carcinoma). For macroscopic samples, 50 to 80 µg of tissue was used to isolate total RNA. Gene expression profile was determined using Affymetrix Human Genome Gene 1.0 ST genechip. For the LCM samples, from representative slides histologically confirmed and mapped by a pathologist, approximately 1000 cells/sample were collected by LCM;. cDNA was amplified using Nugen WT-Ovation One-Direct amplification system. Here we describe the use of an expression microarray study on NSCLC samples and surrounding tissue, comparing macroscopic lung tumor and tissue samples (“grind and bind”), versus tumor and alveolar compartment cells laser capture microdissected (LCM) from the same macroscopic lung samples.

Project description:Affymetrix GeneChip Exon-1.0ST was used to study the differential gene profiles in RV (right ventricle) samples from neonates with HLHS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome) versus RV and LV (left ventricle) samples obtained from age-matched controls. Although few significant changes were observed in the genetic profiles between control LV and control RV, many genes passed the false discovery rate in comparing HLHS-RV to RV and LV control groups, with greater differential profiles noted between HLHS-RV and control RV. Myocardial samples were isolated from the RV of 6 HLHS neonates, diagnosed based upon clinical features including hypoplasia/atresia of the ascending aorta, various degrees of underdevelopment of the aortic valve, mitral valve, and LV cavity, and retrograde flow in the aortic arch as determined by conventional 2-D echocardiography. The mean gestational age at birth of all subjects was 38 weeks (range 36-39) and the mean body weight at surgery of 2.7 kg (range 2.1-3.4 kg) (3 males, 3 females). All subjects were undergoing stage 1 Norwood reconstruction. Children with HLHS and other complex cardiac anomalies entailing non-HLHS single ventricle circulation were excluded from our study. For control samples, RV and LV myocardial tissue was obtained from 5 newborns aged between 1-28 days (mean 18 days; 3 males and 2 females) with normal cardiac anatomy and expired from non-cardiac diseases processes.

Project description:Primary effusion lymphoma is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma most commonly diagnosed in HIV-positive patients and universally associated with Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Chemotherapy treatment of PEL yields only short-term remissions in the vast majority of patients yet efforts to develop superior therapeutic approaches have been impeded by lack of animal models that more accurately mimic human disease. To address this issue we developed a direct xenograft model, UM-PEL-1, by transferring freshly-isolated human PEL cells into the peritoneal cavities of NOD/SCID mice without in vitro cell growth. We utilized this model to show that bortezomib induces PEL remission and extends overall survival of mice bearing lymphomatous effusions. Transcriptome analysis by genomic arrays revealed that bortezomib downregulated cell cycle progression, DNA replication, and Myc-target genes. The microarray analysis was conducted on mice bearing UM-PEL-1 xenografts after treatment for 24 hours with PBS or bortezomib. Both arms of the experiment had three mice and the RNA was pooled from the three treated mice for gene expression analysis.

Project description:Many epithelia have contact with air-liquid interfaces. This applies particularly to the lung, where one of the epithelial cell types (the surfactant secreting alveolar type II [AT II] cells) even project into the air. This specific environment may be of considerable physiological relevance; however, only few data exist to provide a satisfying description. This is mainly due to the difficulty to manipulate cell-air contacts in a specific way. In previous investigations, using new microscopic approaches, we found that the presence of an air-liquid interface leads to a paradoxical situation: it is a potential threat that may cause cell injury, but also a potent stimulus for the cells: AT II cells respond promptly, and show sustained Ca2+-signals that activate exocytosis. In this report, gene chip analysis was performed to test the concept of an Air-liquid interface IAL as a mechanical stimulus, stress factor and/or regulator of the AT II cells. For this purpose, cultured AT II cells were exposed to two different interfacial conditions (inverted and conventional interface). The results support the concept that the IAL is a strong stimulus for AT II cells inducing cellular responses that seem to be closely associated with mechanotransduction, stress response, and alveolar repair.

Project description:The spontaneous mutant Bronx waltzer (bv) mouse line is characterized by deafness and balance defect. We located the bv mutation to the Srrm4 gene which encodes a regulator of alternative pre-mRNA splicing. We found that Srrm4 is expressed in balance and hearing organs (i.e. in the vestibular maculas and the cochlea). Srrm4 is also expressed in the central nervous system including the cerebellum. To identify potential splicing defects in bv/bv mice, we analyzed RNA samples from the vestibular maculas and cerebellums of bv/bv mice and control (bv/+) littermates, using mouse exon junction microarrays (MJAY). In this dataset, we include probe-set level data obtained from cerebellar samples. The processed data represent probe-set intensities that have been normalized to gene expression levels. 8 total samples were analyzed in this series: cerebellums from 4 heterozygous (bv/+) and 4 homozygous (bv/bv) mice at P15.

Project description:Thymic-derived natural T regulatory cells (nTregs) are characterized by functional and phenotypic heterogeneity. Recently, a small fraction of peripheral Tregs have been shown to express Klrg1, but it remains unclear the extent Klrg1 defines a unique Treg subset. Here we show that Klrg1+ Tregs represent a terminally differentiated Treg subset derived from Klrg1- Tregs. This subset is a recent antigen-responsive and a highly activated short-lived Treg population that expresses enhanced levels of Treg suppressive molecules and that preferentially resides within mucosal tissues. The development of Klrg1+ Tregs also requires extensive IL-2R signaling. This activity represents a distinct function for IL-2, independent from its contribution to Treg homeostasis and competitive fitness. These and other properties are analogous to terminally differentiated short-lived CD8+ T effector cells. Our findings suggest that an important pathway driving antigen-activated conventional T lymphocytes also operates for Tregs. Gene expression analysis was performed of this and other Treg subsets based on expression of CD62L, CD69, and Klrg1 to define the molecular properties of Klrg1+ Tregs and its relationship to other Treg subsets found in the peripheral immune tissues. Mice were euthanized, spleen cell preparations were made, and each Treg subset was isolated by FACS cell sorting. RNA was immediately prepared for processing.
