Transcription profiling of human clinical pediatric acute lymphatic leukemai - ALL samples after in vitro exposure to Lasp (and matched controls)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Samples of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. All samples contain at least 90% blasts. Each sample was split into two flasks, one of which was exposed to 2IU/ml of L-asparaginase. The other flask served as a control. Cells were lysed at the times indicated.

Project description:Samples of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia obtained from patients at diagnosis. All samples contain at least 77% blasts. Asparaginase LC50 values were determined for each of these samples. (LC50 was determined on a different aliquot of the same sample.)

Project description:Eukaryotic cells form a variety of adhesive structures to connect with their environment and to regulate cell motility. In contrast to classical focal adhesions, podosomes, highly dynamic structures of different cell types, are actively engaged in matrix remodelling and degradation. Podosomes are composed of an actin-rich core region surrounded by a ring-like structure containing signalling molecules, motor proteins as well as cytoskeleton-associated proteins. Lasp-1 is a ubiquitously expressed, actin-binding protein that is known to regulate cytoskeleton architecture and cell migration. This multidomain protein is predominantely present at focal adhesions, however, a second pool of Lasp-1 molecules is also found at lamellipodia and vesicle-like microdomains in the cytosol.In this report, we show that Lasp-1 is a novel component and regulator of podosomes. Immunofluorescence studies reveal a localization of Lasp-1 in the podosome ring structure, where it colocalizes with zyxin and vinculin. Life cell imaging experiments demonstrate that Lasp-1 is recruited in early steps of podosome assembly. A siRNA-mediated Lasp-1 knockdown in human macrophages affects podosome dynamics as well as their matrix degradation capacity. In summary, our data indicate that Lasp-1 is a novel component of podosomes and is involved in the regulation of podosomal function.
Project description:The genome-wide transcriptional responses of the wild type laboratory strain, and two deletion strains (pmt7Δ/pmt7Δ and yhl042wΔ/yhl042wΔ) were comparatively investigated in the absence and in the presence of ethanol for two hours. Strains were cultivated in flasks at 30°C and 180 rpm in an orbital shaker till the mid-exponential phase of growth (OD600 of 0.85-0.95). The exponential cultures were then divided into two flasks and cells in one flask were grown without ethanol, whereas cells in the latter flask were treated with ethanol to have 8% (v/v) final ethanol concentration. In order to analyze the transcriptional response of each strain to ethanol, samples were collected 2 h after ethanol treatment from both treated and untreated cultures, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until RNA isolation. All experiments were carried out in triplicate.
Project description:The microarray experiments were carried out using a long oligonucleotide DNA microarray that represent all 5363 P. falciparum genes with one oligonucleotide per 1.9kb of coding sequence on average (Hu et al. 2007). Total 247 microarray experiments were carried out including 29-drug treatment time courses with 20 compounds and corresponding untreated controls from different drug or inhibitor treatment. Data of each drug/inhibitor experiment were normalized using a linear normalization and background filtering as implemented by the NOMAD database (http://derisilab.ucsf.edu). Time-series sampling and experiments with synchronized ex vivo culturing parasites. Each experiment has treatment and controls, and starts at a specific time of post invasion. For an example of quinine treatment, the treatments start from late ring stage through trophozoite stage of the parasites. First, IC50 is determined by drug assay with synchronized parasites (5% parasiteomia and 2% RBC). Second, synchronized parasite cultures are splitted into 12 flasks (75ml culture/flask) for a 6 time-point time-series experiment. 6 flasks are treated with quinine (final concentration is IC50) and 6 flasks are negative controls. 1,2,4,6,8 and 10 hrs after the treatment, parasites in each flask were harvested for total RNA isolation and microarray hybridizaiton.
