Project description:Monocytes, macrophages and microglia make up a large part of the glioma environment and have an important role in maintaining and propagating glioma progression. Targeting these cells to inhibit their tumor promoting effect and reprogramming them into an anti-tumor phenotype has been one of the focal points of glioma therapy. In this study we have analyzed the transcriptomes of 8 different monocyte subgroups derived from the brain and the blood of glioma bearing mice. This includes the immune expression profile of blood-derived monocytes versus tumor infiltrating monocytes identifying increased expression of both pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways in tumor infiltrating monocytes. To identify new markers and targets for therapy in these different cell populations, we created a user-friendly web-based tool accessible at www.glioma-monocytes.com (temporary password 'MM2MM2'). In addition, this tool can be used for validation purposes and to elucidate gene expression profiles of tumor interacting-monocytes and macrophages as well as blood-derived circulating monocytes. Analysis of the transcriptomal profile of monocyte in a glioma mouse model Result: Infiltrating monocytes and macrophages express a high level of activation as compared to blood monocytes

Project description:CRISPR/Cas systems have gained prominence as powerful tools for genome engineering. Recent investigations into the crucial role of transposable elements (TEs) have stimulated research interest in manipulating TEs to elucidate their functions. Nevertheless, designing single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) that are both specific and efficient for TE manipulation presents a formidable challenge, considering the repetitive nature and high copy numbers of TEs. Although various sgRNA design tools have been developed for gene editing, an optimized sgRNA designer explicitly for TE manipulation has yet to be established. To bridge this gap, we presented CRISPR-TE, a web-based application featuring an accessible graphical user interface, available at https://www.crisprte.cn. CRISPR-TE could identify all potential sgRNAs for TEs and offers a comprehensive solution for efficient TE targeting at both the single duplicate and subfamily levels. We also demonstrated that young TEs can be targeted with higher coverage at the subfamily level. Finally, we validated the overexpression of SVAD, a human-specific TE, using dCas9-VP64 activator incorporated with three sgRNAs designed by our tool. Collectively, our findings suggest that CRISPR-TE may serve as a versatile framework for designing sgRNAs aimed at TE targeting.

Project description:Replicates of strains used in comparison of microarray to RAPD analysis for the publication. Findings from use of an open-reading frame-specific Campylobacter jejuni DNA microarray to investigate genetic diversity among clinical isolates associated with 5 independent clusters of infection were compared with data from random amplified polymeric DNA (RAPD) and Penner serotyping analyses. The DNA microarray provides a highly specific epidemiological typing tool for analysis of C. jejuni isolates and reveals both divergent and highly conserved gene classes among isolates Set of arrays that are part of repeated experiments Biological Replicate Computed

Project description:While immune signaling has emerged as a defining feature of the glioma microenvironment, local selection of responding T cells and their anti-tumor potential as a population are difficult to measure directly in patients. High-throughput sequencing of T cell receptor repertoires (TCRseq) provides a population-wide statistical description of how T cells respond to disease. Here, we define new immunophenotypes in glioma based on TCRseq and RNA-Seq of tumor tissue, non-neoplastic brain tissue, and peripheral blood from patients. Using information theory, we characterize antigen-driven selection in glioma and its relationship with the expression of distinct immune-functional pathways in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, we identify a strong relationship between usage of certain TCR in peripheral blood and the divergence of the infiltrating T cell population from the peripheral repertoire. We anticipate that these immunophenotypes will be foundational to monitoring and predicting response to anti-glioma vaccines and immunotherapy. We characterized the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoires of 11 high-grade glioma patients, three low-grade glioma patients, and thee non-glioma patients by TCRseq of brain-infiltrating T cells and matching peripheral blood. In addition, we obtained gene expression profiles from brain tissue of each patient by RNA-Seq. We additionally measured the TCR repertoires exclusively from peripheral blood of one additional non-glioma patient.

Project description:This study reports the ability of WEB-2170, an antagonist of platelet-activating-factor receptor, to induce apoptosis in human acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cells. Action mechanisms of WEB-2170 were first investigated in promyelocytic NB4 cells by DNA microarray profiling followed by morphologic, cytofluorimetric and biological analyses which were then extended to other AML cell lines including KG1, NB4-MR4, THP1 and U937, and, eventually, to blasts from patients with different AML subtypes (M0-M5).

Project description:The project was designed to figure out the role of microglia in brain inflammation (EAE model). The first step was to find genes/pathways that are upregulated in the microglia during EAE progress but absent in the infiltrating monocytes. These genes/pathways may provide clues for studying the unique function of microglia in the brain inflammation that is disctinct from the infiltrating monocytes.
