ABSTRACT:
Anopheles gambiae female mosquitoes were blood fed on BALB/c mice infected with P. berghei and intraperitonally pre-treated with 50 mg/kg of chloroquine. As controls, mosquitoes were blood fed on untreated P. berghei infected mice.
Mosquitoes were collected 24 hours post-blood feeding and pools of 50 midguts were dissected and processed for hybridization with MMC1 (or 20K) microarrays.Two different biological experiments were performed for each treatment.

Project description:Studying a unique case of metastatic melanoma, we observed that cell lines derived from metachronous metastases arising over a decade retained a central core of genetic stability in spite of divergent phenotypes. In the present study we expanded our previous observations comparing these autologous cell lines of clonal derivation with heterologous ones and correlated array Comparative Genomic Hybridization with gene expression profiling to determine their relative contribution to the dynamics of disease progression. aCGH and gene expression profiling were performed on autologous cell lines and heterologous melanoma cell lines originated from other patients. A striking correlation existed between total extent of genetic imbalances, global transcriptional patterns and cellular phenotypes; they did not follow a strict temporal progression but stemmed independently at various time points from a central core of genetic stability best explained according to the cancer stem cell hypothesis; although their contribution was intertwined, genomic imbalances detectable by aCGH contributed only 25% of the transcriptional traits determining autologous tumors distinctiveness. Our study provides important insights about the dynamics of cancer progression and supports the development of targeted anti-cancer therapies against stable genetic factors determining the individuality of each patientâs disease that are maintained throughout the end stage of disease. Keywords: genetic modification design We report the analysis of gene expression profiling of melanoma cell lines obtained from metastsases of a long term survivor melanoma patient and other melanoma cell lines.

Project description:Plerixafor (AMD3100) and G-CSF mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) by different mechanisms. A rhesus macaque model was used to compare plerixafor and G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells. Three PBSC concentrates were collected from 3 macaques treated with G-CSF, plerixafor, or plerixafor plus G-CSF. CD34+ cells were isolated by immunoselection and were analyzed by global gene and micro RNA (miR) expression microarrays. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the gene expression data separated the CD34+ cells into three groups based on mobilization regimen. Plerixafor-mobilized cells were enriched for B cells, T cells and mast cells genes and G-CSF-mobilized cells were enriched for neutrophils, and mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) genes. Genes up-regulated in plerixafor plus G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells included many that were not up-regulated by either agent alone. Two hematopoietic progenitor cell miR, miR-10 and miR-126, and a dendritic cell miR, miR-155, were up-regulated in G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells. A pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia miR, miR-143-3p, and a T cell miR, miR-143-5p, were up-regulated in plerixafor plus G-CSF-mobilized cells. The composition of CD34+ cells is dependent on the mobilization protocol. Plerixafor-mobilized CD34+ cells include more B, T, and mast cell precursors while G-CSF-mobilized cells have more neutrophil and MP precursors. Three rhesus macaques were given all three mobilization protocols and PBSCs were collected from each of these three animals. Two monkeys were given plerixafor first, one was given G-CSF first and all three were given plerixafor plus G-CSF last. This resulted in 6 samples (CD34+ and CD34- cells from each of the 3 mobilizations) from each of the 3 individual animals (biological replicates).

Project description:Mobilized-peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been used for transplantation, immunotherapy, and cardiovascular regenerative medicine. Agents used for HPC mobilization include G-CSF and the CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100. The HSCs cells mobilized by each agent may contain different subtypes and have different functions. To characterize mobilized HSCs used for clinical applications, microRNA (miRNA) profiling and gene expression profiling were used to compare AMD3100-mobilized CD133+ cells from 4 subjects, AMD3100 plus G-CSF-mobilized CD133+ cells from 4 subjects and G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells from 5 subjects. The HSCs were compared to peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs) from 7 subjects.

Project description:Abstract: Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are used in transplantation therapy to reconstitute the hematopoietic system. Human cord blood (hCB) transplantation has emerged as an attractive alternative treatment option when traditional HSC sources are unavailable, however, the absolute number of hCB HSCs transplanted is significantly lower than bone marrow or mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (MPBSCs). We previously demonstrated that dimethyl-prostaglandin E2 (dmPGE2) increased HSCs in vertebrate models. Here, we describe preclinical analyses of the therapeutic potential of dmPGE2-treatment using human and non-human primate HSCs. dmPGE2 significantly increased total human hematopoietic colony formation in vitro and enhanced engraftment of unfractionated and CD34+ hCB following xenotransplantation. In non-human primate autologous transplantation, dmPGE2-treated CD34+ MPBSCs showed stable multilineage engraftment over one year post-infusion. Together, our analyses indicated that dmPGE2 mediates conserved responses in HSCs from human and non-human primates, and provided sufficient preclinical information to support proceeding to an FDA-approved phase 1 clinical trial. In order to identify the potential mechanism of action of dmPGE2 on gene expression and HSC function, and to possibly explain the muted response of rhesus CD34+ MPBSCs to dmPGE2 exposure, microarray gene expression analysis was conducted. Human and rhesus CD34+ MPBSCs were exposed to DMSO control or dmPGE2 at a dose of either 10 and 50 uM as described above, and processed for microarray analysis at 0, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours post treatment. Four human donors contributed 8 to 10 samples each at varying time points and dosage for a total of 37 samples (2 samples were technical repeats). Six rhesus macaques contributed 3 to 9 samples each at varying time points and dosage for a total of 28 samples (4 samples were technical repeats). Pooled PBMC's from 6 donors aphereses were used as a reference sample.

Project description:ACTG A5258, we asked whether chloroquine could reduce the immune activation in HIV infection posited to be driven by microbial TLR agonists, such as bacterial elements translocated from the gut and HIV-1 RNAs . We anticipate that blocking this activation pathway might interfere with events in pathogenesis leading to AIDS- and non-AIDS-related clinical manifestations of HIV disease. Blood samples were taken from 20 individuals at week 0 (before treatement) and week 12. 10 individuals received chloroquine 250mg orally and 10 individuals received placebo.

Project description:Imiquimod is a Toll-like receptor (TLR)-7 agonist capable of inducing complete clearance of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and other cutaneous malignancies. We hypothesized that the characterization of the early transcriptional events induced by imiquimod may provide insights about immunological events preceding acute tissue and/or tumor rejection. We report a paired analysis of adjacent punch biopsies obtained pre- and post-treatment from 36 patients with BCC subjected to local application of imiquimod (N = 22) or vehicle cream (N=14) in a blinded, randomized protocol. Four treatments were assessed (q12 applications for 2 or 4 days, or q24 hrs for 4 or 8 days). RNA was amplified and hybridized to 17.5K cDNA arrays. All treatment schedules similarly affected the transcriptional profile of BCC; however, the q12 X 4days regimen, associated with highest effectiveness, induced the most changes with 637 genes unequivocally stimulated by imiquimod. A minority of transcripts (98 genes) confirmed previous reports of interferon-Â involvement. The remaining 539 genes portrayed additional immunological functions predominantly involving the activation of cellular innate and adaptive immune-effector mechanisms. Importantly, these effector signatures recapitulate previous observations of tissue rejection in the context of cancer immunotherapy, acute allograft rejection and autoimmunity. This study based on a powerful and reproducible model of cancer eradication by innate immune mechanisms provides the first insight in humans of the early transcriptional events associated with immune rejection. This model is likely representative of constant immunological pathways through which innate and adaptive immune responses combine to induce tissue destruction.

Project description:Plasmodium ssp. are pathogens in their vertebrate hosts and also cause deleterious effects to their insect vectors. We show here, however, that Plasmodium-infected mosquitoes more efficiently accumulate energy resources (glycogen) during oocyst development, and survive better when they are starved. Microarray analysis revealed that mosquito metabolism is altered by the presence of rapidly growing oocysts in the midgut. Plasmodium infection is associated with enhanced expression of several insulin-like peptides in mosquitoes and blocking insulin-like signaling results in diminished Plasmodium development. We conclude that Plasmodium infection dramatically changes mosquito metabolism pathways, epitomized by enhanced insulin-signaling, and thereby confer a survival advantage to the insects during periods of starvation. Manipulation of this pathway may provide new strategies to influence the ability of mosquitoes to transmit the protozoa that cause malaria. One-condition experiment: P. berghei infected vs uninfected mosquitoes; 10 mosquitoes per sample; 4 biological replicates for each group; two different time points, 10 and 17 days post infection; control mosquitoes were from same batch as infected mosquitoes that were fed on clean mice.
