Project description:Mutation in the RNA editing site in the phosphoprotein gene of human parainfluenza virus 3 affects the number of guanosine insertions
Project description:We used microarrays to determine how the quality and quantity of peptide-MHC impact TCR-induced gene expression in vivo. Adoptively transferred 5CC7 T cells were stimulated in vivo with different doses if two peptides: MCC peptide is a strong agonist and 102S peptide is a weak agonist for the 5CC7 TCR. After 48hours later, T cells were purified and gene expression was assessed using microarray.
Project description:<p>Transcriptome sequencing of solitary fibrous tumors / hemangiopericytomas from a variety of anatomic sites revealed recurrent gene fusions between two genes, NAB2 and STAT6. All SFTs examined exhibited an in-frame fusion transcript encoding a fusion protein containing the EGR1 interaction domain of NAB2 with the transcriptional activation domain of STAT6. Functional testing of the fusion alleles confirmed the conversion of the wt NAB2 repressor into a transcriptional activator. A range of individual fusion junctions can be detected by next-generation sequencing acro the sample set, highlighting the suitability of this method in the diagnostic characterization of SFTs. This study indentified the pathognomonic alteration in solitary fibrous tumors and illuminates a pathway towards targeted therapeutics for this cancer.</p>
