Project description:Waldenstom macroglobulinemia (WM) with 6q del is still unknown. In the present study, we analyzed gene expression signiture of WM with 6q del. B-cell receptor signaling pathway, and IL21/IL21-R pathway were up-regulated in WM with 6q del.
Project description:Exome analyses for the identification of somatic mutation in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia by comparison of tumor and CD3+(germ line control) population in 16 patients.
transcription profiling of a series of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia samples
Project description:microRNA-155 acts as an oncogenic miRNA in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders including Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). we used an 8-mer LNA (locked nucleic acid) phosphorothioate oligonucleotide targeting the seed region of miR-155 to effectively antagonize in vitro tumor growth in WM.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:For the complete cure of tumors, it is essential to eliminate cancer-initiating cells (CICs). Immunohistochemically, most tumor cells were CD20 and/or CD138 positive in clinical samples of lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL), and CD20- CD138- cells were hardly detected. Therefore, useful positive markers expressing in a candidate of CICs of LPL are necessary. First, we performed gene expression microarray analysis between CD20- CD138- and CD20+ CD138+ subpopulations using sorted Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia cell line (MWCL-1).
Project description:microRNA-155 acts as an oncogenic miRNA in B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders including Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia (WM) and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). we used an 8-mer LNA (locked nucleic acid) phosphorothioate oligonucleotide targeting the seed region of miR-155 to effectively antagonize in vitro tumor growth in WM. We performed gene expression profiling (GEP) analysis on BCWM.1 cells after treatment with LNA antimiR-155 or scramble control for 48 hours.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
