GBM samples were clusered using gene expression of AKT pathway genes to reveal at least 5 GBM AKT subtypes, having distinct DNA copy number alterations, enrichment in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and patterns of expression for PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling components.

View SamplesNovel prognostic subclasses of high-grade astrocytoma are identified and discovered to resemble stages in neurogenesis. One tumor class displaying neuronal lineage markers shows longer survival, while two tumor classes enriched for neural stem cell markers display equally short survival. Poor prognosis subclasses exhibit either markers of proliferation or of angiogenesis and mesenchyme. Analysis of gene expression data is described in Phillips et al., Cancer Cell, 2006.

View SamplesHost-environment interfaces such as the dermis comprise tissue macrophages as the most abundant resident immune cell type. Diverse tasks, i.e. to resist against invading pathogens, to attract bypassing immune cells from penetrating vessels and to aid tissue development and repair require a dynamic postnatal coordination of tissue macrophages specification. Here, we delineated the postnatal development of dermal macrophages and their differentiation into distinct subsets by adapting single cell transcriptomics, fate-mapping and tissue imaging. We thereby identified a small phenotypically and transcriptionally distinct subset of embryo-derived skin macrophages that was maintained and largely excluded from the overall postnatal exchange by monocytes. These macrophages specifically interacted with dermal sensory nerves, surveilled and trimmed the myelin sheets and regulated axon sprouting after mechanical injury. In summary, our data show long-lasting functional specification of macrophages in the dermis that is driven by step-wise adaptation to guiding structures and ensures codevelopment of ontogenetically distinct cells within the same compartment. Overall design: Single Cell Sequencing was performed on CD45+CD11b+CD64+Lin-(lineage B220, CD3, NK1.1, Siglec-F, Ly6G) CX3CR1 (low, mid, high) macrophage subsets from mouse dermis after enzymatic digestion

View SamplesWe identified Pparg as a major orchestrator of the phenotype of adipose-tissue resident regulatory T cells (VAT Tregs). To establish the role of Pparg in shaping the VAT Tregs gene profile and cell dynamics, Tregs from lymph nodes and visceral adipose tissue of mice sufficient and deficient of Pparg expression in Tregs were double sorted for microarray analysis.

View SamplesWe identified Pparg as a major orchestrator of the phenotype of adipose-tissue resident regulatory T cells (VAT Tregs). To explore the contribution of Pparg1 and 2 in the generation of the VAT Tregs-specific gene signatures, CD4+FoxP3- T cells were transduced with Foxp3+/- Pparg1 (or Pparg2), treated with Pioglitazone or vehicle, and double sorted for microarray analysis.

View SamplesThe NOD (nonobese diabetic) mouse strain develops a characteristic autoimmune syndrome that closely resembles human type I diabetes. It has been suggested that NOD mice exhibit both numerical deficiency in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and reduced suppressive activity. We compared sorted CD4+CD25+ Tregs from the spleens of 6-7 week-old female NOD and nondiabetic B6.H2g7 mice. Tregs were 932% and 951% Foxp3+ in NOD and B6.H2g7 cells, respectively, on post-sort reanalysis. "Conventional" CD4+CD25- T cells (Tconv) are included as reference populations. Surprisingly, Treg "signature" is similar between the two strains, with only a few probesets that subtly deviate.
