Peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified (PTCL/U), the most common form of PTCL, displays heterogeneous morphology and phenotype, poor response to treatment, and dismal prognosis. We demonstrate that PTCL/U shows a gene expression profile clearly distinct from that of normal T-cells. Comparison with the profiles of purified T-cell subpopulations [CD4+, CD8+, resting (HLA-DR-), and activated (HLA-DR+)] reveals that PTCLs/U are most closely related to activated peripheral T-lymphocytes, either CD4+ or CD8+. Interestingly, the global gene expression profile cannot be surrogated by routine CD4/CD8 immunohistochemistry. When compared with normal T-cells, PTCLs/U display deregulation of functional programs often involved in tumorigenesis (e.g. apoptosis, proliferation, cell adhesion, and matrix remodeling). Products of deregulated genes can be detected in PTCLs/U by immunohistochemistry with an ectopic, paraphysiologic or stromal location. Among others, PTCLs/U aberrantly express PDGFRA, a tyrosine-kinase receptor, whose deregulation is often related to a malignant phenotype. Notably, both phosphorylation of PDGFRA and sensitivity of cultured PTCL cells to imatinib (as well as to an inhibitor of histone-deacetylase) are found. These results, which might be extended to other rarer PTCL categories, are provided with implications for tumor pathogenesis and clinical management.

View SamplesIn the central nervous system (CNS), the microRNAs (miRNAs), small endogenous RNAs exerting a negative post-transcriptional regulation on mRNAs, are involved in major functions, such as neurogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. Moreover, they are essential to define the specific transcriptome of the tissues and cell types. However, few studies were performed to determine the miRNome of the different structures of the rat CNS, even through rat is a major model in neuroscience. We determined the miRNome profile of the hippocampus, the cortex, the striatum, the spinal cord and the olfactory bulb, by small RNA-Seq. We found a total of 365 known miRNAs' and 90 novel miRNAs expressed in the CNS of the rat. Novel miRNAs seemed to be important in defining structure-specific miRNomes. Differential analysis showed that several miRNAs were specifically enriched/depleted in these CNS structures. Then, we correlated miRNAs' expression with the expression of their mRNA targets by mRNA-Seq. This analysis suggests that the transcriptomic identity of each structure is regulated by specific miRNAs. Altogether, these results suggest the critical role played by these enriched/depleted miRNAs in the functional identities of CNS structures.

View SamplesGenome wide mRNA and miRNA profiling was performed in SH-SY5Y cells stably overexpressing wild type or mutant MIR204 or MIR618. Mutants came from a large scale genetic screening of brain expressed miRNA genes in patients with schizophrenia or idiopathic generalized epilepsy and in control individuals. Based on enrichment of the variants with the schizophrenic or epileptic phenotype and based on impact prediction, two variants, one near MIR204 (rs7861254) and one in MIR618 (rs2682818) were selected for functional validation. Genome wide profiling of mRNA (micro-array) and mature miRNAs (small RNA sequencing, submitted to SRA) was performed in the created stable cells to assess the effect of the variants and to investigate the function of these miRNA genes.

View SamplesMyocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most severe manifestations of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the leading cause of death from non-infectious diseases worldwide. It is known, that the central component of CAD pathogenesis is a chronic vascular inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying the changes that occur in T, B and NK-lymphocytes, monocytes and other immune cells during CAD and MI are still poorly understood. One of those pathogenic mechanisms might be the dysregulation of intracellular signaling pathways in the immune cells.

View SamplesChromosomal instability (CIN) is defined by the propensity to acquire structural and/or numerical aberration in the normal cellular karyotype and is often associated with cancer. Autophagy is a catabolic process that leads to the recycling of cellular components that may positively or negatively impact on cancer development and progression, depending on the context. Recent work postulated that the depletion of the pro-autophagic and tumor suppressive protein Beclin 1 triggers CIN by interfering with mitotic chromosome segregation, providing a possible mechanism for how Beclin 1 can act as a tumor suppressor (Fremont et al., PMID: 23478334). Here, we present data supporting the notion that the phenotypes described in Fremont et al., depend on a siRNA off-target effect. The transcriptomic analysis shown here was designed to identify the factor(s) that are responsible for such phenotype.
Beclin 1 is dispensable for chromosome congression and proper outer kinetochore assembly.
