Gene expression profiles of the EBV-induced lymphomas against ‘normal’ human PBL
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) were isolated from the fresh blood samples of six healthy donors and intraperitoneally grafted into SCID mice at 8~10 × 107 PBLs/mouse. PBLs from each donor were grafted into 3~4 SCID mice. EBV was isolated from the supernatant of B95-8 cells cultured in vitro under starvation conditions. EBV infection was not required for SCID mice that were grafted with PBLs from donors who were positive for EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA)-IgG and IgA. On the other hand, 0.4 mL of EBV suspension was intraperitoneally injected into SCID mice that were grafted with PBLs from donors who were VCA-IgA negative on day 3 post-grafting. All surviving mice were euthanized on day 135 post-PBL grafting. Total RNA was extracted from the six EBV-induced lymphomas (tumor group) and normal human lymphocytes (normal group) using TRIZOL reagent, and labelled as per the instructions of the Agilent Quick Amp Labeling Kit. First-strand cDNA was synthesized from purified total RNA (template) using the T7 promoter primer and Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase, followed by the synthesis of the second-strand cDNA. Both cDNA strands were then synthesized into cRNA using transcription master mix and labelled with cyanine-3-cytidine-5'-triphosphate. Gene expression profiles of the normal and tumor groups were detected using Agilent whole genome microarray containing 41,000 known human gene transcripts. The microarrays were scanned with the Agilent Microarray Scanner and the raw data were recorded and normalized using Agilent Feature Extraction Software to calculate the signal fold change between the tumor and normal groups. A ≥2-fold change in gene expression, as determined by the t-test, was considered as up-regulated, and a ≤0.5-fold change in gene expression was considered as down-regulated.
