HTLV-1 infected individuals stay as carriers for their lifetimes, while the rest of 5% are killed by ATL. ATL leukemogenesis is a complex process involving accumulation of multiple genetic abnormalities in HTLV-1 infected cells. To clarify genetic events underlying ATL leukemogenesis, we conducted c...
CADM1 overexpresion and stepwise downregulation of CD7 in CD4+T-cells from ATL patients and HTLV-1 carriers accurately reflect the process of disease, i.e., oligoclonally and clonally exanding cells are accumulated in D (CADM1posCD7dim) and N (CADM1posCD7neg) populations, respectively. Moreover, gen...

For metabolic profiling of human CD4+ T cells，stable isotope labeling (SIL) and metabolomics SIL experiments were performed with in vitro-activated T cells using liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS).
For metabolic profiling of mouse CD4+ T cells, stable isotope labeling (SIL) experiments were performed with in vitro-activated T cells using gas chromatography (GC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS).
Differentiation of naive CD4 T cells into type 2 helper (Th2) cells is accompanied by chromatin remodeling and increased expression of a set of Th2-specific genes including those encoding Th2 cytokines. IL-4-mediated STAT6 activation induces high levels of transcription of GATA3, a master regulator...
SNP array analysis was performed using 168 ATL specimens. To obtain genotypes and intensities for each SNP, Affymetrix 250K SNP arrays were performed for 168 ATL samples.
In many multicellular organisms, a group of cells called organizers plays critical roles by sending signals to adjacent cells and controlling patterning events such as embryogenesis and tissue morphogenesis. Recent studies suggest that these organizers or inductive cells facilitate the downstream...
