Project description:Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell integrity is critical to the maintenance of retinal function. Many retinopathies such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are caused by the degeneration or malfunction of the RPE cell layer. Replacement of diseased RPE with healthy, stem cell derived RPE is a potential therapeutic strategy for treating AMD. Human embryonic stem cells (hESC) differentiated into RPE progeny have potential to provide an unlimited supply of cells for transplantation but challenges around scalability and efficiency of the differentiation process still remain. Using hESC-derived RPE as a cellular model, we sought to understand mechanisms that could be modulated to increase RPE yield following differentiation. Our data show that activation of the cAMP pathway increases proliferation of dissociated RPE in culture, in part through inhibition of TGFβ signalling. This in turn results in enhanced uptake of epithelial identity. In line with these findings, targeted manipulation of the TGFβ pathway with small molecules produces an increase in efficiency of RPE re-epithelialization. Taken together, these data highlight mechanisms that promote epithelial fate acquisition in stem cell derived RPE. Modulation of these pathways has potential to favorably impact upon scalability and clinical translation of hESC-derived RPE as a cell therapy. A sample of Gene Pool™ cDNA, from human fetal normal brain tissue (Invitrogen D8830-01) is included for reference.

Project description:Endometrial biopsies from tumor (T), adjacent normal (N) and hyperplastic (H) tissue specimens (when available) were obtained by histeroscopy from 10 patients and 3 healty donor. RNA isolated from these samples was used to perform smallRNA-Seq by NGS and gene expression profiling by microarrays in order to identify deregulated Small Non Coding RNAs that could be used as a signaturein the endometrial carcinogenesis process and to evaluate in parallel the target transcriptome disregulation.

Project description:Purine biosynthesis and metabolism, conserved in all living organisms, is essential for cellular energy homeostasis and nucleic acids synthesis. The de novo synthesis of purine precursors is under tight negative feedback regulation mediated by adenine and guanine nucleotides. We describe a new early-onset distinct neurodegenerative condition resulting from mutations in the adenosine monophosphate deaminase 2 gene (AMPD2). Patients have characteristic brain imaging features of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), due to loss of brainstem and cerebellar parenchyma. We found that AMPD2 plays an evolutionary conserved role in the maintenance of cellular guanine nucleotide pools by regulating the feedback inhibition of adenosine derivatives on de novo purine synthesis. AMPD2 deficiency results in defective GTP-dependent initiation of protein translation, which can be rescued by administration of purine precursors. These data suggest AMPD2-related PCH as a new potentially treatable early-onset neurodegenerative disease. An 18 chip study, that compares iPSC derived neural progenitor cells from two individuals: a patient with pontocerebellar hypoplasia and an unaffected parent. Samples are run as either non-treated, treated with Adenosine, or treated with Adenosine and AICAr. Three replicates are included for every individuals in every treatment condition.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could play an important role as potential Alzheimer Disease (AD) biomarkers. Plasma samples were collected from participants: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD patients (n= 20), preclinical AD patients (n= 8) and healthy controls (n= 20). Then, small RNA sequencing analysis, followed by miRNA differential expression analysis comparing different methods (DESeq2, edgeR, NOISeq) were carried out.

Project description:Lung cancer is the worldwide leading cause of death from cancer. DNA methylation in gene promoter regions is a major mechanism of gene expression regulation that may promote tumorigenesis. However, whether clinically relevant subgroups based on DNA methylation patterns exist in lung cancer is not well studied. We performed whole-genome methylation analysis using 450K Illumina BeadArrays on 124 tumors including 83 adenocarcinomas, 23 squamous cell carcinomas, one adenosquamous cancer, five large cell carcinomas, nine large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNEC), three small cell carcinomas (SCLC) and 12 normal lung tissues. Unsupervised class discovery was performed to identify DNA methylation subgroups with clinicopathological and molecular features. Subgroups were validated in two independent NSCLC cohorts. Unsupervised analysis identified five DNA methylation subgroups (epitypes). One epitype was distinctly associated with neuroendocrine tumors (LCNEC and SCLC). For adenocarcinoma, in both discovery and validation cohorts, remaining four epitypes were associated with differences in clinicopathological and molecular features, including global hypomethylation, promoter hypermethylation, copy number alterations, expression of proliferation-associated genes, association with unsupervised and supervised gene expression phenotypes, KRAS, TP53, KEAP1, SMARCA4, and STK11 mutations, smoking history, and patient outcome. Based on a multicohort approach we conducted a comprehensive survey of genome-wide DNA methylation in lung cancer, identifying a distinct neuroendocrine epitype and four adenocarcinoma epitypes associated with molecular and clinicopathological characteristics, and patient outcome. Our results bring further understanding of the epigenetic characteristics and molecular diversity in lung cancer generally and in adenocarcinoma specifically.

Project description:The genetic changes in gastric adenocarcinoma are extremely complex and reliable tumor markers have not yet been identified. There are also remarkable geographical differences in the distribution of this disease. Our aim was to identify the most differentially regulated genes in 20 gastric adenocarcinomas from a Norwegian selection, compared to matched normal mucosa, and have related our findings to prognosis, survival and chronic Helicobacter pylori infection
