Project description:The process of metastasis starts even before the tumor cells actually metastasize to the lymph nodes. In this study, mice were injected with B16-F10 murine melanoma cells to generate a tongue submandibular lymph node (SLN) metastasis model in which to investigate genes of interest.

Project description:Characterizing the impact of pharmacological and shRNA-mediated silencing of EAG2 in medulloblastoma. Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common pediatric CNS malignancy. Previously, we demonstrated that overexpression of the ion channel EAG2, identified in a subset of histological and molecular subtypes of this disease, functionally contributes to tumor progression (PMID: 22855790). Here, we demonstrate the evolutionarily conserved function of EAG2 potassium channel in promoting brain tumor growth and metastasis, delineate downstream pathways and uncover a co-option mechanism for different potassium channels to regulate mitotic cell volume and tumor progression. We show that EAG2 potassium channel is enriched at the trailing edge of migrating MB cells to regulate local cell volume dynamics, thereby facilitating cell motility. We identify the FDA- approved antipsychotic drug thioridazine as an EAG2 channel blocker that reduces xenografted MB growth and metastasis, and present a case report of repurposing thioridazine for treating a human patient. Our findings thus illustrate the potential of targeting ion channels in cancer treatment.

Project description:Initiation of treatment during the pre-symptomatic phase of infection with Yersinia pestis (Y. pestis) is particularly critical because the rapid proliferation of Y. pestis is coupled with the manifestation of common flu-like early symptoms that often delay the intervention. Our study used African Green Monkeys that didn’t exhibited clear clinical symptoms for nearly two days after intranasal challenge with Y. pestis and succumbed within a day after showing the first signs of clinical discomfort. Colonization of Y. pestis was detected in blood one day post-infection although blood transcripts were found to be altered immediately after the pathogenic assault. The organs of the respiratory tract and those adjacent, such as lungs and submandibular lymph nodes, accumulated significant Y. pestis colonization immediately after pathogenic challenge. Hence organ-specific molecular investigations are deemed to be the key in elucidation of the mechanisms of the initial host response. Based on results from our previous investigation of the blood transcriptomic profile, we explored the early involvement of the ubiquitin-microtubule-mediated host defense mechanism in detail. Genes enriching the ubiquitin network were altered, indicating an early suppression of the network functions in the submandibular lymph nodes. In concert, the upstream toll-like receptor signaling and downstream IκB kinase/NFκB signaling were inhibited at the transcription level. The inflammatory response was suppressed in the lungs, submandibular lymph nodes and mediastinal lymph nodes. By dysregulating both ubiquitin and the microtubule networks, Yersinia pestis was able to impair host-mediated proteolysis activities and evade autophagosome capture. A synchronized suppression of the immune response may render the peripheral organs more vulnerable to the imminent pathogenic assault. Furthermore, a comprehensive early onset of apoptosis was found across these three organ types. This was possibly a parallel mechanism undertaken by Yersinia pestis to further weaken the host response and enable a permissive colonization of the host. Targeting these networks in an organ-specific and time-resolved fashion could be essential for development of the next generation therapeutics for pneumonic plague.

Project description:To determine the influence of primary tumors on pre-metastatic lymph nodes, we have employed whole genome microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify gene signatures of B cells from tumor-draining lymph nodes, compared with normal lymph nodes. We subcutaneously inoculated C57BL/6 mice with the 4T1 mammary carcinoma. Two weeks later, tumor-draining lymph nodes were dissociated and B cells (CD19+) were sorted. Lymph nodes B cells from normal mice without tumor bearing were set as controls.

Project description:The mesenteric lymph nodes represent the immune response to eggs in schistosome infections,and the analysis of gene expression profiles of the mesenteric lymph nodes from the Vac-Cha (vaccinated with UV attenuated cercariae and challenged with normal cercariae)and Inf-Con (infected with normal cercariae) groups. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes.

Project description:We have previously shown that Tregs infiltrating follicular lymphoma lymph nodes (FLN) are quantitatively and qualitatively different than those infiltrating normal and reactive nodes (NLN, RLN, respectively). To gain insight into how such Treg populations differ, we performed RNA sequence (RNAseq) analyses on flow sorted Tregs from all three sources. We identify several molecules that could contribute to the observed increased suppressive capacity of FLN tregs, including upregulation of CTLA-4, IL-10, and GITR, all confirmed by protein expression. In addition, we identify, and confirm functionally, a novel mechanism by which Tregs target to and accumulate within a human tumor microenvironment, through the down regulation of S1PR1, SELL (L-selectin) and CCR7, potentially resulting in greater lymph node retention. In addition we identify and confirm functionally the upregulation of CXCR5, CXCL13 and IL-16 demonstrating the unique ability of the follicular derived Tregs to localize and accumulate within not only the malignant lymph node, but also localize and accumulate within the malignant B cell follicle itself. Such findings offer significant new insights into how FLN Tregs may contribute to the biology of follicular lymphoma and identify several novel therapeutic targets.

Project description:Using whole-cell patch clamp recording and unbiased gene expression profiling in rat dissociated hippocampal neurons cultured at high density, we demonstrate here that chronic activity blockade induced by the sodium channel blocker tetrodotoxin leads to a homeostatic increase in action potential firing and down-regulation of potassium channel genes. In addition, chronic activity blockade reduces total potassium current, as well as protein expression and current of voltage-gated Kv1 and Kv7 potassium channels, which are critical regulators of action potential firing. Importantly, inhibition of N-Methyl-D-Aspartate receptors alone mimics the effects of tetrodotoxin, including the elevation in firing frequency and reduction of potassium channel gene expression and current driven by activity blockade, whereas inhibition of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels has no effect.
