Project description:Transcriptomic profile of CD34+ cells circulating in peripheral blood of TCIRG1-mutated osteopetrotic patients, compared to cord blood and mobilized CD34+ cells
Project description:We report the application of Illumina short RNA sequencing for characterization and discovery of miRNAs and moRNAs, and for identification of differentially expressed small RNAs in circulating CD34+ cells from Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF) patients and from normal controls pooled bone marrow CD34+ cells.

Short RNAs sequencing for miRNA quantification, discovery and characterisation.
Project description:An increased number of circulating CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors (HP) and a prominent amplification of dystrophic megakaryocytes (MK) are observed in PMF patients. As transcriptome data from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors showed modulations of FLT3 and MAP kinase expression independently of the JAK2V617F mutation status Transcriptome analysis was performed on circulating CD34+ cells from PMF patients using Agilent 22K microarray and compared to CD34+ cells from blood and bone marrow from un-mobilized healthy donors. Indirect map: each tested sample was hybridzed with reference probe
Project description:TAMARIN study is a Phase II, multicenter, single arm A’herns design clinical trial assessing tamoxifen’s safety and activity in reducing molecular markers of disease burden in MPN.The primary outcome (≥50% allele burden reduction at 24 weeks) was met by 3/37 patients; 5/37 additional patients showed ≥25% reductions. CD34+ HSPCs were collected from responders and non-respondersin the baseline line and 24W after tamoxifen treatment. RNAseq was performed to investigate the molecular signature about tamoxifen sensitivity and pharmacological mechanism of tamoxifen in MPN patients.

Project description:Defining the role of epigenetic regulators in normal hematopoiesis has become critically important, as recurrent mutations or aberrant expression of these genes has been identified in both myeloid and lymphoid hematological malignancies. We have found that PRMT4, a type I arginine methyltransferase, whose function in normal and malignant hematopoiesis is unknown, is overexpressed in AML patient samples. In support of an oncogenic role for PRMT4, we find that its overexpression blocks the myeloid differentiation of human stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) while its knockdown (KD) is sufficient to induce myeloid differentiation of HSPCs and multiple AML cell lines. Although classically thought of as a co-activator, we found that PRMT4 functions to repress the expression of miR-223 in HSPCs via the methylation of RUNX1, which triggers the assembly of a multi-protein repressor complex that includes DPF2. As part of a feedback loop, PRMT4 expression is repressed post-transcriptionally by miR-223 during the normal differentiation process. These data reveal an unidentified role of PRMT4 in myeloid differentiation and its unexpected repressive role in transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, depletion of PRMT4 results in the differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells in vitro and their decrease proliferation in vivo. Thus, targeting PRMT4 holds potential as a novel therapy for acute myelogenous leukemia. Purified human primary CD34+ cells were transduced with lentiviruses carrying PRMT4KD or scramble control shRNAs. Total RNA was extrated. RNAseq was performed to identify target genes that are regulated by PRMT4. Experiments were performed in triplicate.
Project description:The label-free quantitative proteome was generated for 42 primary AML patient samples enriched for CD34+ cells (or mononuclear cells in the case of NPMcyt sameples) and as controls 6 mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells were included. Furthermore, 6 AML cell lines were included, and also primary mesenchymal stem cells grown under normaoxia or hypoxia were included.
Project description:RNASeq data for mPB or CB-derived CD34+ exposed to UM171 human mobilized peripheral blood or cord blood-derived CD34(+) cells were cultured for 16 hours with vehicle (DMSO), dose response of UM171 [11.9nM, 19nM, 30.5nM, 48.8nM, 78.1nM and 125nM], SR1 [500nM] and combination of( UM171 [48.8nM]+SR1 [500nM])
