Project description:The genome of 14 vulvar SCC was analyzed by aCGH and microarray to identify common imbalances present in the tumors as well as which genes were deregulated. Overall there was a good concordance between the imbalances scored by aCGH and the level of gene expression found by microarray, i.e., the genes located in gained regions were overexpressed while those located in lost regions were found down-regulated. The whole-gene expression profile of 14 SCC of the vulva was compared to 5 normal vulvar samples to identify genes that were deregulated in the tumors genome.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play pivotal roles in diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA). However, knowledge of the biological roles of lncRNAs is limited in OA. We aimed to explore the biological function and molecular mechanism of HOTTIP in chondrogenesis and cartilage degradation. We used the human mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) model of chondrogenesis, in parallel with, tissue biopsies from normal and OA cartilage to detect HOTTIP, CCL3, and miR-455-3p expression in vitro. Biological interactions between HOTTIP and miR-455-3p were determined by RNA silencing and overexpression in vitro. We evaluated the effect of HOTTIP on chondrogenesis and degeneration, and its regulation of miR-455-3p via competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA). Our in vitro ceRNA findings were further confirmed within animal models in vivo. Mechanisms of ceRNAs were determined by bioinformatic analysis, a luciferase reporter system, RNA pull-down, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. We found reduced miR-455-3p expression and significantly upregulated lncRNA HOTTIP and CCL3 expression in OA cartilage tissues and chondrocytes. The expression of HOTTIP and CCL3 was increased in chondrocytes treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in vitro. Knockdown of HOTTIP promoted cartilage-specific gene expression and suppressed CCL3. Conversely, HOTTIP overexpression reduced cartilage-specific genes and increased CCL3. Notably, HOTTIP negatively regulated miR-455-3p and increased CCL3 levels in human primary chondrocytes. Mechanistic investigations indicated that HOTTIP functioned as ceRNA for miR-455-3p enhanced CCL3 expression. Taken together, the ceRNA regulatory network of HOTTIP/miR-455-3p/CCL3 plays a critical role in OA pathogenesis and suggests HOTTIP is a potential target in OA therapy.

Project description:The imbalances scored by arrayCGH mapped to different chromosomes with losses being more common than gains. Frequent losses of large chromosomal segments were scored from 3p and 8p whereas same-sized gains were frequent from 3q and 8q. This is the first study of vulvar tumors using arrayCGH, and some frequent imbalances could be defined precisely. 14 patients we analyzed without replicates against a commercial common reference.

Project description:[original title] Identification of recurrent microdeletion on 17q23.2 flanked by segmental duplications associated with heart defects and limb abnormalities. Segmental duplications, are known to mediate non-allelic homologous recombination and have been suggested to be hotspots in chromosome evolution and human genomic instability. We report the identification by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of seven individuals with microdeletions of 17q23.1q23.2. The clinical information obtained from six individuals for whom medical records were available showed common features including mild to moderate developmental delay, postnatal growth retardation, eye anomalies, heart defects and hand/foot/limb abnormalities. The presence in the deletion region of TBX2 and TBX4, transcription factors belonging to a family of genes implicated in a variety of developmental pathways including those of heart and limb, suggests that these genes may play an important role in the phenotype of this emerging syndrome. aCGH control vs. patient, total of 7 patients Lowest normalized log2 ratio = patient 1: -1.99; patient 2: -1.87; patient 3: -2.16; patient 4: -2.11; patient 5: -1.974802452; patient 6: -2.23; patient 7: -1.36.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis in HEK293T transfected with plasmid carrying different isoforms of BPIFB4 gene. This gene was previously associated with exceptional longevity in a GWAS study performed on three different populations. Results indicate an up-regulation of stress response genes and proteostasis genes in HEK293T transfected with plasmid carrying the longevity-associated variant (LAV) of BPIFB4. Total RNA obtained from HEK293T over-expressing wild-type or mutated form of BPIFB4.

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is the primary bone tumor in children and young adults. Currently, there are no reliable, non-invasive biological markers to detect the presence or progression of disease, assess therapy response, or provide upfront prognostic insights. Using a qPCR-based platform that analyzes more than 750 miRNAs, we analyzed control and diseased-associated plasma from a genetically engineered mouse model of OS to identify a profile of four plasma miRNAs. Plasma from mice with OS were profiled for miRNAs and compared with the profile of plasma from disease-free mice

Project description:Osteosarcoma (OS) is the primary bone tumor in children and young adults. Currently, there are no reliable, non-invasive biological markers to detect the presence or progression of disease, assess therapy response, or provide upfront prognostic insights. Using a qPCR-based platform that analyzes more than 750 miRNAs, we analyzed control and diseased-associated plasma from human cases of OS to identify a profile of differentially expressed miRNAs. Comprehensive miRNA expression profiling was completed using the Exiqon miRNome platform (human panels I+II, V3) on 20 disease samples (10 localized, 10 metastatic) and 15 healthy controls.

Project description:Abnormal neuronal aggregation of a-synuclein is implicated in the development of Parkinson’s disease. Glial cells also show extensive a-synuclein pathology and are thought to contribute to disease progression. However, the mechanism that produces the glial a-synuclein pathology and the interaction between neurons and glia in the disease-inflicted microenvironment remain unknown. Here, we show that in neuronal cells misfolded a-synuclein proteins are selectively translocated into vesicles, leading to exocytosis of the aggregated forms. More importantly, our data demonstrate that astrocytes take up the neuron-derived a-synuclein aggregates and produce a-synuclein inclusions similar to the ones found in human brains. This uptake is paralleled by changes in the gene expression profile reflecting an inflammatory response. These results suggest that astroglial a-synuclein pathology is produced by cell-to-cell transmission of neuronal a-synuclein aggregates. This transmission step is thus an important mediator of pathogenic glial responses and could qualify as a new therapeutic target. To determine how astrocytes respond to extracellular a-synuclein, gene expression profiles were established and analyzed for nearly 22,000 rat genes using the Illumina RatRef-12 Expression BeadChip. Total RNA was isolated from astrocytes exposed for 6h or 24h to conditioned medium from cultures of a-synuclein or lacZ expressing cells.
