View SamplesThe aim of this study was to describe the gene expression patterns related to the differentiation and mineralization of bone-forming cells, including activation and/or repression of osteogenic or non-osteogenic pathways, remodeling of cell architecture, cell adhesion, cell communication, and assembly of extracellular matrix. The study implied patient selection, tissue collection, isolation and culture of human marrow stromal cells (hMSC) and osteoblasts (hOB), and characterization of bone-forming cells. RNA samples were collected at defined time points, in order to understand the regulation of gene expression during the processes of cell differentiation/mineralization that occur during bone repair. Transcriptome analysis was performed by using the Affymetrix GeneChip microarray technology platform and GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array. Our results help to design a gene expression profile of bone-forming cells during specific steps of osteogenic differentiation. These findings offer an useful tool to monitor the behaviour of osteogenic precursors cultured in presence of exogenous stimuli, i.e. growth factors, or onto 3D scaffolds for bone engineering. Moreover, they can contribute to identify and clarify the role of new genes for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms regulating osteogenesis.

High-throughput sequencing analysis of the chromosome 7q32 deletion reveals IRF5 as a potential tumour suppressor in splenic marginal-zone lymphoma.

View SamplesUsing high-resolution genomic microarray analysis, a distinct genomic profile was defined in 114 samples from patients with splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL). Notably, deletion or uniparental disomy of chromosome 7q were detected in 39% of SMZLs but in only 9 of 170 (5%) mature B-cell lymphomas (p<10-6). The presence of unmutated IgVH genes, genomic complexity, 17p13-P53 deletion and 8q gain including MYC gene, but not 7q deletion, were correlated with shorter overall survival. Extensive mapping analyses narrowed down the commonly deleted region to 2.7 Mb. in 7q32.1-q32.2 from SND1 to COPG2 genes. High-throughput sequencing analysis of the 7q32 deleted segment in SMZL cells did not identify bi-allelic deletions, insertions or clear pathogenic mutations, but detected six single nucleotide changes in IRF5 (n=2), TMEM209 (n=2), CALU (n=1) and ZC3HC1 (n=1). Comparative expression analysis found that IRF5, TMEM209 and CALU genes had down-regulated expression in lymphomas with 7q32 deletion vs. non-deleted tumors. Ectopic expression of IRF5 in marginal-zone lymphoma cells decreased cell proliferation and induced apoptosis. These results indicate that small deletions, insertions and/or point mutations inactivating genes within 7q32 are not common events in SMZL. Further studies are required to evaluate the putative role of IRF5 in SMZL pathogenesis.

View SamplesIdentifying immune correlates of protection and mechanisms of immunity accelerates and streamlines the development of vaccines. RTS,S/AS01E, the most advanced malaria vaccine, has moderate efficacy in African children. In contrast, immunization with sporozoites under antimalarial chemoprophylaxis (CPS immunization) can provide 100% sterile protection in naïve adults. We used systems biology approaches to identify correlates of vaccine-induced immunity based on transcriptomes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from subjects immunized with RTS,S/AS01E or chemo-attenuated sporozoites stimulated with parasite antigens in vitro. Specifically, we used samples of subjects from two age cohorts and 3 African countries participating in an RTS,S/AS01E pediatric phase 3 trial and malaria-naïve subjects participating in a CPS trial. We identified both pre-immunization and post-immunization transcriptomic signatures correlating with protection. Signatures were validated in independent children and infants from the RTS,S/AS01E phase 3 trial and subjects from an independent CPS trial with high accuracies (>70%). Transcription modules revealed interferon, NF-B, TLR, and monocyte-related signatures associated with protection. Pre-immunization signatures suggest the potential for strategies to prime the immune system before vaccination towards improving vaccine immunogenicity and efficacy. Finally, signatures of protection could be useful to determine efficacy in clinical trials, accelerating vaccine candidate testing. Nevertheless, signatures should be tested more extensively across multiple cohorts and trials to demonstrate their universal predictive capacity.

View SamplesRECK, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored glycoprotein, inhibits the enzymatic activities of some matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), thereby suppressing tumor cell metastasis; however, the detailed mechanism is still obscure. In this study, we compared the gene expression profiles between mock- and RECK-transfected HT1080 cells.
