Project description:Comparison of gene expression profiles of follicular lymphoma vs. reactive lymph nodes. 8 cases of follicular lymphoma; 5 cases of reactive lymph nodes.
Project description:Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor metastasis. Many genes may act in this process including formation of vessels, immune evasion,etc. Different gene expression profiles between lymphoma endothelium cells and reactive lymph node-derived endothelium cells may uncover these genes. And intensive mechanism researches on such key genes may explain the mechanisim of tumor-specific angiogenesis and help to explore effective treatment strategies to prevent/reverse tumor metastasis. We use microarrays to detail gene expression profiles of human lymphoma endothelium and reactive lymph node-derived endothelium. Lymph nodes were taken from surgery samples of cases pathologically diagnosed DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), PTL (peripheral T cell lymphoma) and reactive lymph nodes. The pure endothelium cells were isolated by LCM after immunohistochemical staining of CD34. We found Tim-3 was preferentially expressed on lymphoma-derived ECs via different expression profiles between lymphoma ECs and reactive lymph node-derived ECs. Intensive researches were carried out on Tim-3-expressing -ECs and we found that Tim-3 -expressing-Ecs may play important role on EC-mediated tumor evasion.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of biopsied human lymph node (LN) tissue comparing each patient sample against mobilised peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), the reference channel Evaluate whether gene expression microarray can diagnose lymph node biopsies as reactive or as one of three main types of lymphoma: classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL). Two condition experiment, LN vs mobilised PBSC, 116 cases assayed, 1 replicate per array
Project description:Peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL) is a very aggressive disease which currently lacks efficient targeted therapy. New therapeutic strategies are needed to improve the very poor outcome of these patients. However, little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of this disease. In this study, we performed a gene expression profiling analysis of a series of 38 PTCL cases in order to find deregulated pathways or genes that could become therapeutic agents for PTCL patients. 38 PTCL cases and 6 reactive lymph nodes were hybridized with the Universal Human Reference RNA (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA), which served as the reference sample.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of major types of B-cell NHL clinical samples. While comparing all the types together, their expression was compared against reactive lymph nodes, except SMZL whose expression was compared against normal splenic cells. Keywords: disease state analysis Clinical samples; 8 reactive lymph nodes, 5 splenic controls Vs 187 cases (38 MCL, 38 CLL, 9 BL, 27 SMZL, 36 DLBCL, 33 FL , 6 nMZL)
Project description:T-cell/histiocyte rich B cell lymphoma (THRBL) and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin's lymphoma (NLPHL) share some morphological characteristics, including a prominent stromal reaction, but display a markedly different prognosis. To investigate the difference between the stromal reactions of these lymphomas at the molecular level, we performed microarray expression profiling on a series of THRBL and NLPHL cases. Experiment Overall Design: Microarray expression profiling was performed for 10 NLPHL and 10 THRBL cases. A pool of 5 reactive lymph nodes was included as a reference sample.
