Project description:Pre-incubation of T cells with the protein kinase inhibitor dasatinib prevents internalisation of T cell receptors upon binding by peptide-MHC multimers and enhances multimer staining. If used with downstream sc-RNAseq of sorted T cells, there is a possibility that this treatment could influence gene expression. No significant changes in gene expression were detected between dasatinib-treated and untreated cells.
Project description:Long-term treatment of Kasumi-1 cells at clinically attained doses of dasatinib led to decreased drug-sensitivity by means of IC50 values (relative to treatment-naive cells). Changes were paralled by profound alterations in c-KIT expression and cell signaling signatures. Upon brief discontinuation of dasatinib treatment, these alterations reversed and drug sensitivity was restored. We used gene expression profiling to examine reversal of dasatinib-resistance at the molecular/expression level.

Upon brief discontinuation of dasatinib treatment, these alterations reversed and drug sensitivity was restored. We used gene expression profiling to examine reversal of dasatinib-resistance at the molecular/expression level. Kasumi-1 cells were either treated with dasatinib for 12 weeks (R48) or left untreated (K). Subsequently, dasatinib was withdrawn from R48 cells for 1 week (PR48). RNA was extracted from R48 and K cells and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays after 12 weeks and PR48 after a total time span of 13 weeks.
Project description:Gene profiles from three dasatinib-resistant and three dasatinib-sensitive pancreatic cancer cell lines were compared by microarray analysis. RNA from three dasatinib-resistant (MiaPaCa2, Panc1, SU8686) and three dasatinib-sensitive (Panc0504, Panc0403, Panc1005) pancreatic cancer cell lines were extracted. Biological triplicates were employed for each cell line. Complementary DNA microarray analysis was performed using Illumina Human HT-12 v4 BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at the National University of Singapore Core Facility following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse in-vitro derived CD8+ cells (obtained after culturing BM-HSCs isolated from B6 mice) with OP9-DL1 cells for 35 days were compared to CD8+ thymocytes isolated from 4-5 weeks old B6 mice. Our goal was to determine similarities and differences in gene expression profile between in vitro-derived CD8+ cells and CD8+ cells isolated from the thymus. The procedure of in vitro differentiation of HSC using OP9-DL1 cocultures was previously described by: Schmitt, T. M., and J. C. Zuniga-Pflucker. 2002. Induction of T cell development from hematopoietic progenitor cells by delta-like-1 in vitro. Immunity 17:749-756 and Holmes, R., and J. C. Zuniga-Pflucker. 2009. The OP9-DL1 system: generation of T-lymphocytes from embryonic or hematopoietic stem cells in vitro. Cold Spring Harb Protoc 2009:pdb prot5156. Biological replicates: 2 different samples of in vitro-derived CD8+ T cells from day 35 were compared to 2 different samples of thymic CD8+ cells.
Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cell is a valuable tool for immunotherapy in cancer treatment, both the cultured cell line NK92 and primary NK cells are widely studied and used in the research and clinical trials. Clinical observations witnessed the improvement of patients’ NK cells in terms of cell counts and cytotoxic activity upon dasatinib treatment, an approved drug against CML and Ph+ ALL. Several studies supported the clinical observations, yet others argued a detrimental effect of dasatinib on NK cells. Due to the complex conditions in different studies, the definite influence of dasatinib on NK92 and primary NK cells remains to be settled. Here, we used a well-defined in vitro system to evaluate the effects of dasatinib on NK92 cells and peripheral blood (PB)-NK cells. By coculturing NK cells with dasatinib to test the cell counts and target cell killing activities, we surprisingly found that the chemical influenced oppositely on these two types of NK cells. While dasatinib suppressed NK92 cell proliferation and cytotoxic activity, it improved PB-NK killing tumor cells. RNA-seq analysis further supported this finding, uncovering several proliferating and cytotoxic pathways were responding invertedly between them. Our results highlighted an intrinsic difference between NK92 and PB-NK cells and may build clues to understand how dasatinib interacts with NK cells in vivo.
Project description:In this experiment we in vitro activated CLL cells on a layer of fibroblasts expressing CD40L (3T40) in the presence of 100 nM Dasatinib for 48 hours. After the 48 hours, cells were taken off the fibroblasts and sorted for viable CD19+ cells. Then we performed RNA sequencing.
Project description:Purified primary human CD8 T cells were stimulated in vitro in parallel using a magnetic bead conjugated to either anti-CD3/28 or anti-CD2/3/28 antibodies. Cells were cultured for 6 days in complete RPMI1640 and 10ng/ml IL2 and were harvested on day 6 and RNA was isolated for further labelling and hybridisation.
