Project description:Illumina microarray analysis of primary human B cell and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) co-cultures stimulated with anti-IgM and superantigens for 3 days (BT) compared to the same co-cultures without stimualtion (BTNo). Total RNA was extracted from co-cultures after 3 days in the presence or absence of stimulation with anti-IgM and superantigens.
Project description:Identify genes which are induced in wild type B cells under antigenic stimuli, anti-IgM vs pro-survival stimuli, BAFF. Also find the differential expressed genes which are distinct from in co-stimulated conditions. RNAseq analysis of wild type primary B cells stimulated with anti-IgM alone, BAFF alone, or co-stimulated with both anti-IgM and BAFF for 8 and 30 hours

Project description:Investigation of BCR signalling response of primary cells from a cohort of 40 CLL patients using kinobbead idolation and MS profiling. Cells were either stimulated using anti-IgM or isotype control.
Project description:To search for rapid changes in gene expression following BCR activation, we performed DNA microarray analysis of activated splenic B cells with and without anti-IgM treatment for 3 hour. The expression of a remarkably large set of genes differed significantly. Primary B-lymphocytes were purified from mouse spleens and stimulated with IL-4 (Pepro-Tech) and CD40L (R&D Systems) as indicated at 5 ng/ml and 200 ng/ml, respectively. The BCR of stimulated cells was activated by incubation with goat F(abâ)2 anti-mouse IgM (Southern Biotechnologies) at 2.5 μg/ml for 3 hour.
Project description:The B-cell receptor (BCR) plays an important role in pathogenesis and progression of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We investigated the BCR triggering-dependent microRNA modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM. miRome of immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells (n=16) identified a substantial upregulation of miR-132 in both unmutated (UM) and mutated (M) IGHV subgroups. A parallel gene expression profile and an in-silico analysis to identify miR-132 target genes¸ allowed us to focus on SIRT1, that encodes for a histone deacetylase targeting several proteins including TP53. We defined a reduction of SIRT1 protein levels upon immobilized anti-IgM stimulation (P=0.001), and a concomitant increase in TP53 acetylation (P=0.0072). The TP53 target gene CDKN1A was consistently up-regulated in immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Of note, the miR-132 constitutive expression levels in CLL cases (n=134) were of similar magnitude of those obtained in in vitro immobilized anti-IgM stimulated CLL cells. Additionally, high miR-132 expression levels retained a favorable prognostic impact in M (P=0.005), but not in UM CLL patients (P=0.968). The described miR-132/SIRT1/TP53 axis, sequentially characterized by BCR triggering, miR-132 up-regulation, SIRT1 down-regulation and TP53 acetylation, should be considered in the light of emerging drugs targeting the BCR pathway in CLL. investigated the BCR triggering-dependent gene expression modulation by stimulating CLL cells with immobilized anti-IgM.
Project description:RNAseq analysis of CD40 + IgM in vitro-stimulated (6 hours) murine relafl/flCD19-Cre (furtheron designated as RELA) and CD19-Cre (furtheron designated as WT) splenic B cells identifies genes regulated by the transcription factor RELA in activated B cells. Splenic B cells from 12-week old relafl/flCD19-Cre and CD19-Cre littermate mice were isolated by magnetic cell separation from splenic mononuclear cells and stimulated in vitro for 6 hours with anti-CD40 and anti-IgM. RNA was isolated and submitted for RNA-sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2000 instrument for 30 million single-ended reads.
