Project description:Gene expression studies on breast cancer have generally been performed on tissue obtained at the time of surgery. Overexpression of several genes may be a result of surgical trauma or preoperative manipulation, and may not reflect any biological impact of the disease. This study compares the expression profiles in preoperative tissue while tumor is still in its normal milieu to postoperative tissue from the same tumor obtained during surgery.

Project description:miRNA expression in breast cancer progression, from normal breast tissue to DCIS to subtype-specific invasive breast carcinomas. Two separate datasets are used, of which this is one. The other is also publicly available. These samples are collected at Akershus Univeristy Hospital, Norway, as part of a consecutive series and total RNA is extracted from snap-frozen biopsies.

Project description:A total of 79 breast tumors (71 malignant tumors, 6 fibroadenomas, and 2 DCIS) were studied and compared to the reduction mammoplastic specimens of 12 healthy women as well as adjacent cancer-free tissue for 23 of the malignant tumors. Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins Bmi-1 and Mel-18 were then studied more closely first on mRNA expression level using microarray data from two of our ongoing projects and then on protein expression level using immunohistochemistry.

Project description:Multipotential naïve CD4+ T cells differentiate into distinct lineages including Th1, Th2, Th17, and inducible T regulatory (iTreg) cells. The remarkable diversity of CD4+ T cells begs the question whether the observed changes reflect terminal differentiation with heritable epigenetic modifications or plasticity in T cell responses. We generated genome-wide histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) and lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation maps in naïve, Th1, Th2, Th17, iTreg, and natural (n)Treg cells. We find that while modifications of signature cytokine genes (Ifng, Il4, and Il17) partially conform to the expectation of lineage commitment, critical transcription factors such as Tbx21 exhibit a broad spectrum of epigenetic states, consistent with our demonstration of T-bet and IFN-γ induction in nTreg cells. Our data suggest an epigenetic mechanism underlying the specificity and plasticity of effector and regulatory T cells and also provide a framework for understanding complexity of CD4+ T helper cell differentiation. genome-wide analysis of histone H3 K4 and K27 trimethylation in different sub-lineages of mouse CD4+ T cells.

Project description:Purpose: To examine and characterize the expression profile of genes expressed at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of extraocular muscles (EOMs) in comparison to the NMJs of tibialis anterior muscle (TA). Methods: Adult rat rectus EOMs and TAs were dissected, flash-frozen, serially sectioned and stained for acetylcholinesterase to identify NMJs. Approximately 6000 NMJs for EOM (EOMsyn) and 6000 NMJs for TA (TAsyn) and equal amounts of NMJ-free fiber regions (EOMfib, TAfib) and underlying myonuclei were captured using laser capture microdissection (LCM). RNA was isolated, processed and used for microarray-based expression profiling. Profiles were generated for genes differentially expressed at synaptic and non-synaptic regions of TA (TAsyn vs TAfib) and EOM (EOMsyn vs EOMfib) using a false discovery rate (FDR) of 5% as well as an 'interaction list' revealing the most significantly differentially expressed genes at an FDR of 1%. We validated the profiles by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: The regional transcriptomes associated with NMJ of EOMs and TAs were identified. We found 275 genes that were preferentially expressed in EOMsyn and 230 known transcripts that were preferentially expressed in TAsyn; 288 of the transcripts were common to both synapses; these included well-known, evolutionarily conserved, synaptic markers (e.g. nicotinic Acetylcholine receptor (ACHR) alpha and epsilon subunits, nestin) as well as a large number of novel genes. Conclusion: Transcriptome level differences exist between EOM synaptic regions and TA synaptic regions. Our definition of the synaptic transcriptome provides insight into the mechanism of formation and functioning of the unique synapses of EOM and their differential involvement in diseases noted in the EOM allotype. Tissue preparation: A total of 4 rats were killed by CO2 inhalation. The bony orbit was removed from the skull and opened at the lamina cribrosa. The globe with the four recti EOMs still attached was carefully dissected from the bony orbit. The eyeball with muscles was placed on cryomolds, covered with OCT tissue embedding medium (Tissue-Tek: Sakura Finetek, Tokyo, Japan) and flash-frozen in isopentane, cooled in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 degreeC. The tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of all rats were dissected and frozen in the same way. The EOM and TA were then cut transversely into 10 um sections using a Microm HM 500 cryostat (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany), mounted on PEN (poly-ethylene-naphthalene) Membrane Slides (Arcturus) and refrozen immediately. Unfixed sections were stored at -80 degreeC until needed. Section staining: Sections for LCM were stained for acetylcholinesterase based on the method of Karnowsky and Roots to visualize NMJ. Palm microdissection: The PALM MicroBeam System was used for microdissection and for catapulting isolated tissue into a microfuge cap containing 80 ul RLT-Lysis Buffer (Quiagen). Approximately 1000 NMJ and equal amount of non-synaptic regions were collected for each muscle.

Project description:Identification of microRNAs differentially expressed between the neonatal heart of a genetic rat model of cardiac hypertrophy (the Hypertrophic Heart Rat, HHR) and the control (the Normal Heart Rat, NHR) using the Agilent Rat miRNA Microarray Kit Release 16.0. Neonatal (day 2) HHR and age-matched NHR were killed with an overdose of pentobarbitone (Lethobarb). The heart was immediately removed, and the ventricles were dissected from the atriums. The tissues were first preserved in liquid nitrogen and later transferred to a M-bM-^@M-^S80C freezer. Microarrays (one per sample, with no pooling) were performed on 8 neonatal HHR (4 male, 4 female) and 8 neonatal NHR (4 male, 4 female). After extraction of RNA, cRNA was prepared and arrays performed using Agilent Rat miRNA Microarray Kit Release 16.0 performed at the Ramaciotti Gene Function Analysis facility, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.

Project description:Introduction: Overall survival of early-stage breast cancer (BC) patients is similar for those who undergo breast conserving therapy (BCT) and mastectomy, however, 10-15% of women undergoing BCT suffer ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence. The risk of recurrence may vary with age or breast cancer subtype. Understanding the gene expression of the cancer-adjacent tissue and/or stromal response to specific tumor subtypes is important for developing clinical strategies to reduce recurrence risk. Methods: We studied gene expression data in cancer-adjacent tissue from 158 BC patients. Complementary in vitro cocultures were used to study cell-cell communication between fibroblasts and specific breast cancer subtypes. Results: Our results suggest that intrinsic tumor subtypes are reflected in histologically normal cancer-adjacent tissue. Gene expression of cancer-adjacent tissues shows that triple negative (Claudin-low or Basal-like tumors) exhibit increased expression of genes involved in inflammation and immune response. While such changes could reflect distinct immune populations present in the microenvironment of different breast cancer subtypes, altered immune response gene expression was also observed in cocultures in the absence of immune cell infiltrates, emphasizing that these inflammatory mediators are secreted by breast-specific cells. In addition, while triple negative BCs are associated with upregulated immune response genes, Luminal breast cancers are more commonly associated with estrogen-response in adjacent tissues. Conclusions: Specific characteristics of BCs are reflected in the surrounding benign tissue. This commonality between tumor and surrounding tissue may underlie second primaries and local recurrences. Biomarkers derived from cancer-adjacent tissue may be helpful in defining personalized surgical strategies or in predicting recurrence risk. reference x sample
