Project description:We examined the plasma miRNA among 113 newly diagnosed untreated diabetic cases and 113 healthy controls from DFTJ cohort by miRNA array screening and Taqman real-time PCR validation. After prediction of miRNA target genes, the low-abundance proteins coded by miR-193b-3p target genes were explored in plasma of the same population. We further validated the target effect and potential cell function of differentially expressed miRNA in HepG2 cells.
Project description:In order to identify relevant, molecularly defined subgroups in Multiple Myeloma (MM), gene expression profiling (GEP) was performed on purified CD138+ plasma cells of 320 newly diagnosed myeloma patients included in the Dutch-Belgian/German HOVON-65/ GMMG-HD4 trial using Affymetrix Gene Chip U133 plus 2.0 arrays. Hierarchical clustering identified 10 distinct subgroups. Bone marrow plasma cell samples were obtained from 320 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients included in a large multicenter, prospective, randomized phase III trial (HOVON65/GMMG-HD4). Purified myeloma plasma cells samples with a monoclonal plasma cell purity > 80% were used for analysis.
Project description:Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a heterogenous disease characterized by immature blasts at different maturation stage. We used single cell sequencing technique to analyze newly diagnosed AML patients.
Project description:This gene expression set contains data from patients included in the HOVON129 clinical trial. Using this data the relation between a signature identifying patients with aggressive biology and clinical parameters was studied in newly diagnosed plasma cell leukemia patients. This dataset was used to identify the relationship between a signature for aggressive disease and clinical parameters in plasma cell leukemia.
Project description:We recently defined a gene expression-based signature of high-risk multiple myeloma; this predictive signature was developed with and independently validated for newly diagnosed patients treated with high dose therapy and stem cell rescue. Here we use Phase 3 clinical trial data to show that this signature also predicts short survival in relapsed disease treated with single agent bortezomib or high dose dexamethasone. In addition, a survival signature derived with relapsed myeloma samples identified newly diagnosed patients with short survival. Taken together these data suggest that a similar biology underlies poor outcome in both newly diagnosed and relapsed myeloma and provide strong evidence that the high-risk signature is a powerful tool to identify patients who are candidates for new therapeutic regimens.

Project description:The aim of this study was to gain insight into the potential mechanism of resistance to arsenic trioxide and to identify genes that are modulated in the malignant promyelocytes at the time of relapse in APL patients. We analyzed the gene expression profile by the whole genome microarray of primary promyelocytes obtained from 8 newly diagnosed and 8 at relapse patients.
