Project description:Increasing evidence across malignancies suggests that infiltrating T cells at the site of disease are crucial to tumor control. We hypothesized that marrow-infiltrating immune populations play a critical role in response to donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), an established and potentially curative immune therapy whose precise mechanism remains unknown. We therefore analyzed marrow-infiltrating immune populations in 29 patients (22 responders, 7 nonresponders) with relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia who received CD4+ DLI in the pre-tyrosine kinase inhibitor era. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying T cell infiltration into bone marrow of responders and nonresponders to DLI. mRNA expression profiling of marrow-infiltrating CD3+ positively selected T cells of 4 responders compared to 2 non-responders, before and after DLI, was performed on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:This is a class prediction experiment, where the class is the response status to imatinib (also called Gleevec), a drug used to treat patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). There are two data sets, a training set (from Leipzig, 8 Responders and 5 Non-Responders) and a validation set (from Mannheim, 8 Responders and 7 Non-Responders). The objective is to identify differentially regulated genes between CML patients who respond and those who do not respond to imatinib and confirm the results in the validation data set. The samples from blood or bone marrow of CML patients were hybridized to Affymetrix HG-U95Av2 chip and RMA was used to generate the normalized signal values.

Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
