Project description:To characterize human bone marrow plasma cells that express or lack CD19 on a molecular level, we compared the global gene expression of primary CD38high/CD138+ plasma cells with or without CD19 expression.
Project description:RNA-sequencing was performed on human CD19- CD138+ bone marrow plasma cells. 4 biological replicates of human CD19- CD138+ bone marrow plasma cells.
Project description:Sorted cells from bone marrow and rectal mucosa of SIV-infected rhesus macaques were analyzed for expression of factors associated with plasma cell recruitment, adhesion, or maintenance mRNA expression anaylsis was performed on 16 CD2-CD19-CD20-HLA-DR+ and 16 CD2-CD19-CD20-HLA-DR- bone marrow cells, and 7 CD2-CD19-CD20-HLA-DR+ and 3 CD2-CD19-CD20-HLA-DR- rectal cells using a custom CodeSet produced by NanoString Technologies containing 44 niche factor genes of interst, 12 cell-type specific genes, and 9 reference genes identified in Genevestigator.
Project description:Waldenströms macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder with apparent morphologic and immunophenotypic heterogeneity and its origins are still poorly understood. In this study, using Gene-Expression Profiling (GEP), we compared the global mRNA expression patterns of CD19+ WM B cells (WM-BC) and CD138+ WM plasma cells (WM-PC) with those of normal CD19+ peripheral blood B cells (PB-BC), tonsil-BC (T-BC), CD138+ T-PC and bone marrow PC (N-PC). Experiment Overall Design: The sample cohort studied consisted of CD19-selected peripheral blood B cells (PB-BC; n = 7), tonsil B cells (T-BC; n = 7), bone marrow B cells from WM (WM-BC; n = 12), tonsil plasma cells (T-PC; n = 9), bone marrow plasma cells from healthy donors (N-PC; n = 10), WM plasma cells (WM-PC, n = 9), and MM plasma cells (MM-PC; n = 11).
Project description:Gene expression profiling of Bone Marrow FoxP3+ Treg cells. Glatman Zaretsky et al. revealed an unexpected role for Tregs in plasma cell biology. Here we determined the gene-expression profile of this new subset of FoxP3+ Treg cell, which express high levels of Treg effector molecules, similar to other non-lymphoid tissue Tregs. Gene-profiling of BM Tregs. Bone marrow Treg cells (30k) (gfp+CD25hiCD4+TCRβ+) (dump negative: CD19-CD8α-TCRγδ-CD11b-CD11c-NK1.1-Gr-1-Ter-119-) were triple-sorted from pools of two to three reporter mice (C57BL/6 Foxp3-IRES-gfp, 9 week-old males) into trizol per ImmGen SOP. RNA was amplified, labeled and hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays (Expression Analysis)
Project description:This data was generated as part of a larger study in to the leukemic stem cell potential of sorted childhood ALL populations. This work has been submitted for publication with the following summary. "We examined the leukemic stem cell potential of blasts at different stages of maturation in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Human leukemic bone marrow was transplanted intrafemorally onto NOD/scid mice. Cells sorted using the B precursor differentiation markers CD19, CD20 and CD34 were isolated from patient samples and engrafted mice before serial transplantation onto primary or subsequent (up to quaternary) recipients. Surprisingly, blasts representative of all the different maturational stages were able to reconstitute and re-establish the complete leukemic phenotype in vivo. Sorted blast populations mirrored normal B precursor cells with transcription of a number of stage appropriate genes. These observations lead to a new model for leukemia-propagating stem cells in childhood ALL." Diagnosis bone marrow specimens from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were FACS sorted into populations with surface expression CD34+CD19+ and CD34-CD19+. Expression analysis was performed to assess the developmental state of these two blast populations. These initial data have not been confirmed by RT PCR and should be viewed as preliminary. We are continuing with our work to further assess the transcriptional status of these populations.
Project description:We studied the role of the stable Igh mRNA in Igh chain check point. Here we generated RNA-seq data from sorted ProB (CD19+B220+c-Kit+CD25-) and PreB (CD19+B220+c-Kit-CD25+) populations from Bone marrow of mice.
