Project description:Analyses of gene expression profiling in sinonasal sarcoma (SNS) harboring PAX3-MAML3 fusion gene or PAX3 rearrangement and other types of tumors without having such fusion or rearrangement. The results provide important information for further investigations of the PAX3-MAML3 fusion functions in SNS. Total RNA was obtained from FFPE tissues of 41 tumors including 8 SNS (6 with PAX3-MAML3 fusion and 2 with PAX3 rearrangement only) and 33 cases from other 10 different types of tumors. Gene expression profiling of fusion group including 8 SNA vs.non-fusion group including 33 control tumors were analyszed.

Project description:Direct conversion from fibroblast to neuron has recently been successfully induced bypassing the pluripotent state. However, the conversion takes a few months with low percentages of success. Here we found that depletion of p53, which can converted fibroblasts into three major neural lineages: neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Furthermore, our method provided a high efficiency of conversion in aging fibroblasts, where published methods failed. This finding may help developing a prototype for neuron replacement therapy, including foraging people vulnerable to neurological disorders. p53 has been shown to inhibit reprogramming of fibroblasts to iPS cells, by depletion of p53 in human fibroblasts, we study the function of p53 in induced neuron process. By induction of p53 knockdown fibroblasts with special neuron medium, we can get mature neurons directly. In the induction process, many neurogenic transcription factors were up-regulated, and we prove that p21 is not involved in this process.

Project description:Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) have been used as an in vitro model for studying tolerance and immunity. However, the underlying metabolic states of tolerogenic (dexamethasone and vitamin D3-treated), immature and immunogenic (mature, LPS-treated) moDCs have not been completely characterized. Through transcriptomic analyses, we determined that tolerogenic moDCs exhibit augmented catabolic pathways with respect to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), fatty acid oxidation (FAO) and glycolysis. Functionally, tolerogenic moDCs showed the highest mitochondrial membrane potential, production of reactive oxygen species and superoxide, and increased mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity. Tolerogenic and mature moDCs manifested differential FAO gene expression with FAO activity being significantly higher in tolerogenic and immature moDCs than in mature. In addition, tolerogenic and mature moDCs demonstrated similar levels of glycolytic rate, but not glycolytic capacity and reserve, which were more pronounced in tolerogenic and immature moDCs. Finally, tolerogenic and immature moDCs, but not mature moDCs, showed high plasticity to compensate the intracellular ATP content after inhibition of different energetic metabolic pathways. Overall, tolerogenic moDCs exhibit a metabolic signature of increased, stable OXPHOS programing and high plasticity for metabolic adaptation. These findings provide a framework for future research of metabolic properties of human DCs. Total RNA of sixteen samples from four moDC types (tolerogenic, LPS-tolerogenic, immature and mature) were extracted by Trizol (Invitrogen) followed by a clean-up procedure using RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen). All RNA samples had an integrity number ≥9.6 assessed by Agilent Bioanalyzer. Total RNA samples were amplified using TargetAmp™ and the biotinilated cRNA was prepared by Nano-g™ Biotin-aRNA Labeling Kit for the Illumina® System (Epicentre). After the hybridization to the Illumina Human HT-12 v4 Beadchips for 17 h at 58°C, the arrays were washed, stained (Illumina Wash Protocol) and then scanned using BeadArray Scanner 500GX. Array data were extracted at the probe level without background correction using Illumina GenomeStudio software. These raw data were quantile normalized and log2 transformed. Technical replicates were obtained from the hybridization in duplicate of three samples. Pearson correlation analysis showed high correlation between the technical replicates (r>0.99). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using Limma16 with Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction (p<0.05). DEGs were further clustered into different groups according to the patterns of expression change among the different moDC types using STEM software17. The analysis was performed in R v.2.12.2 (http://www.R-project.org) with Bioconductor 2.12 (http://www.bioconductor.org) and enabled by Pipeline Pilot (www.accelrys.com).

Project description:Blood monocytes serve as the first line of host defense and are equipped to recognize and respond to infection by triggering an immune-inflammatory response. While most information on these cells comes from in vitro studies in humans or in vivo studies in mice, little is known about monocytes under human disease conditions. We investigated the role of monocytes during sepsis and its resolution in humans. A transcriptomal and functional analysis of blood monocytes from patients during gram negative sepsis and at recovery was performed. Monocytes from sepsis patients showed upregulation of a large number of pro-inflammatory genes and cytokines/chemokines, consistent with an ongoing systemic inflammation. However, these cells showed impairment to ex vivo endotoxin (LPS) challenge, displaying a quantitative decrease in the number of LPS-inducible genes. Moreover, they downregulated the expression of several pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine genes, activation marker genes and transcription factors associated with monocyte/macrophage activation, upon ex vivo LPS stimulation. Functionally, they downregulated expression of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines and antigen presentation-related molecules and functions. In contrast, genes and functions related to phagocytosis, anti-microbial activity and tissue remodeling where remained unaffected or even enhanced . Collectively, our observations suggest a genetic and functional re-programming of these cells during human sepsis progression. Understanding the molecular mechanisms which regulate this re-programming will allow to devise strategies which could modulate the response of these cells and hence, disease progression. Blood monocytes from gram-negative sepsis patients during sepsis (Sepsis) and following their recovery (Recovery/Basal) as well as healthy donor (control) were isolated. Thereafter, these cells were treated ex vivo with or without LPS for 3h and analysed for transcriptomic study.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) kills up to 60% of infected newborns and adults >60 years of age but is asymptomic is most young adults. Monocytes are central to effective host defense against Lm. We hypothesize that age-dependent, pathway-specific differences in the ability of the monocyte to respond to Lm explain the increased risk of the newborn and older adult to severely suffer or die from Lm infection. To delineate age-dependent differences in innate responses that lead to differential infectious outcome, monocytes were isolated from cord blood (newborn) and peripheral blood (young and older adults) and infected with Lm. RNA was collected to determine age-dependent transcriptomic changes upon infection. Total RNA was isolated from purified human monocytes from 6 adult, 6 cord , 6 older adult blood donors that were infected with wild-type Listeria monocytogenes at a multiplicity of infected (MOI)=5 for 2 and 6 hr.

Project description:Photodynamic therapy (PDT) of solid cancers comprises the administration of a photosensitizer followed by illumination of the photosensitizerreplete tumor with laser light. This induces a state of local oxidative stress, culminating in the destruction of tumor tissue and microvasculature and induction of an anti-tumor immune response. However, some tumor types, including perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, are relatively refractory to PDT, which may be attributable to the activation of survival pathways in tumor cells following PDT (i.e., activator protein 1 (AP-1)-, nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells (NF-κB)-, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α)-, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2), and unfolded protein response-mediated pathways). To assess the activation of survival pathways after PDT, human perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (SK-ChA-1) cells were subjected to PDT with zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPC)-encapsulating liposomes. Following a 30-minute incubation with liposomes, the cells were either left untreated or treated at low (50 mW) or high (500 mW) laser power (cumulative light dose of 15 J/cm2). Cells were harvested 90 minutes post-PDT and whole genome expression analysis was performed using Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 expression beadchips. Hilar cholangiocarcinoma (SK-ChA-1) cells were incubated with PBS (control group) or 500 μM zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPC)-encapsulating liposomes (ZnPC-ITLs, final lipid concentration). After 30 minutes, cells that were incubated with ZnPC-ITLs were either kept in the dark (ITL group) or were treated with 500-mW (ITL 500) or 50-mW (ITL 50) laser light (n = 3 per group, cumulative light dose of 15 J/cm2). Ninety minutes after photodynamic therapy, total cellular RNA was isolated and gene expression levels were analyzed by using the Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 platform. The data was analyzed in the context of survival signalling and comparisons were made with the control group.
