Project description:To date, there are no known prognostic markers identified in patients with fusion gene-negative rhabdomyosarcoma. This study validates the 5-gene (MG5) signature as a prognostic marker in patients with fusion negative intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma clearly stratifying this otherwise clinically homogenous population of patients into two risk groups based on outcome. In addition, this analysis was performed using nCounter assay on paraffin embedded tissues and the results were concordant to previously published results using frozen tissues in a different patient cohort. Therefore, this work holds tremendous translational relevance as the MG5 signature can be reliably assessed in readily available paraffin embedded tissues of fusion gene-negative rhabdomyosarcoma patients in prospective clinical trials to stratify them into prognostic risk groups as well as to potentially tailor future therapy based on these risk groups.

Project description:To see the effect of zoledronate on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells. Cells were first cultured in normal media until enough cells were obtained. Then the cells were differentiated into ostepbalst under the effect of low concentration of zoledronate.

Project description:Understanding human Regulatory T cell (Treg) heterogeneity may identify markers of disease pathogenesis and facilitate the development of optimized cellular therapeutics. Previous analysis revealed that the co-inhibitory receptor T-cell immunoglobulin and immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT) was highly expressed on tTreg. The negative regulator TIGIT and the co-stimulatory factor CD226 bind the common ligand CD155. Human regulatory T cells (CD4+CD25+CD127-/lo) from adult peripheral blood were sub-fractionated based on the markers CD226 and TIGIT and were subsequently expanded in vitro according to clinical expansion protocols. The transcriptional profile of the final cell products uncovered considerable heterogeneity in terms of in vitro expansion and suppressive capacity. Most notably, the CD226+TIGIT- fraction adopted a transcriptional profile most similar to that of conventional T cells, including the capacity for effector cytokine production. Tregs and corresponding Tconv were expanded from peripheral blood of three normal healthy control male subjects.

Project description:Background: Molecular adaptations in the striatum mediated by dopamine (DA) denervation or Levodopa (L-dopa) treatment have been implicated with the motor deficits found in Parkinsonâs disease (PD). Alterations in glutamatergic neurotransmission and anti-oxidant mechanisms are reported to play important roles in mediating these changes. However, the mechanisms mediating the molecular adaptations in the striatum are not well understood. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as potent post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression with fundamental roles in numerous biological processes. miRNAs are known to influence the development and maintenance of striatal neurons. To determine the contribution of miRNAs in molecular adaptations found in PD, we screened the expression of 800 miRNAs in postmortem striatum samples obtained from PD and neurologically normal controls. We detected the expression of approximately 250 miRNAs in postmortem human putamen samples collected from patients with PD and healthy controls. There was an abundance of a subset of 17 miRNAs (10 up- and 7 down-regulated) differing substantially between PD and the control, suggesting that miRNAs are altered in the striatum during the course of PD. Computational analysis show that many of these miRNAs targets pro-inflammatory factors in the striatum. Therefore, we sought to detrmine the expression of experimentally validated pro-inflammatory transcripts in PD striatum. Methods: Using a digital gene expression platform to quantify 134 gene transcripts, we compared human postmortem putamen tissues from patients with PD and neurologically normal controls. Results: We identified deregulated expression of 10 gene transcripts (4 up- and 6 down-regulated mRNAs) in postmortem human putamen samples collected fromPD patients compared to controls. The expression of these genes negative correlates with the expression of many of the differentially epxressed miRNAs. Moreover, many of these genes are predicted targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. Conclusions: We identified deregulated mRNAs most likely associated with anti-oxidant mechanims in PD striatum. This approach may provide insights into pathogenesis of the disease. Human postmortem putamen tissues from 12 patients with PD symptoms and 12 neurologically normal controls were used in the study. Samples were obtained from the Human Brain and Spinal Fluid Resource Center, Los Angeles, CA through NIH NeuroBioBank, and stored at -80°C until RNA isolation. Total RNA was extracted using the mirVana RNA isolation kit, following the manufacturerâs instructions (Ambion). Using 225ng total RNA, mRNA levels were assayed by direct digital detection using Nanostring nCounter assay kits (Nanostring Technologies).

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem and we lack a comprehensive understanding of how Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) infection impacts host immune responses. We compared, at two timepoints, the induced immune response to TB antigen, BCG and IL-1β stimulation between latently M. tb infected individuals (LTBI) and active TB patients. The immune response was stimulated using the TruCulture system with the corresponding stimulations: TB antigen, BCG, 1L1b, and the Nanostring platform was used to assess the gene expression profiles of the samples. The Nanostring platform was used to evaluate the gene expression
