Human but not mouse adipogenesis is critically dependent on LMO3.

View SamplesIn this study we aimed to gain further insight on the role of GCs in adipocyte differentiation. For the future drugability of candidate targets it is of utmost importance to find factors relevant to human biology. Thus, we analyzed the transcriptome of GC induced primary human adipose stem cells (hASC) to identify novel factors downstream of GC action

View SamplesIn this study, we aimed to gain further insight on the role of glucocorticoids (GCs) in adipocyte differentiation. For the future drugability of candidate targets, it is of utmost importance to find factors relevant to human biology. Thus, we analyzed the transcriptome of GC-induced primary human adipose stem cells (hASCs) isolated from paired subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) to identify novel factors downstream of GC action.

View SamplesMiR-1246 was found to promote tumorigenesis and metastasis in sevearl cancer types. In the context of tumor microenvironment, tumor-associated macrophages are a central part typically correlated with poor prognosis.
Mutant p53 cancers reprogram macrophages to tumor supporting macrophages via exosomal miR-1246.

View SamplesResponse to immune checkpoint inhibitors may be improved through combinations with each other and other therapies, raising questions about non-redundancy and resistance. We report results from parallel studies of melanoma patients and mice treated with anti-CTLA4 and radiation (RT). Although combined treatment improved responses, resistance was common. Computational analyses of immune and transcriptomic profiles (provided here) revealed that resistance in mice was due to upregulation of tumor PD-L1 that drives T cell exhaustion. Accordingly, optimal response requires RT, anti-CTLA4, and anti-PD-L1. Anti-CTLA4 inhibits Tregs, RT diversifies and shapes the TCR repertoire, and anti-PD-L1 reinvigorates exhausted T cells. Together, all three therapies promote the expansion of clonotypes with distinct TCR traits. Similar to mice, patients with melanoma showing high PD-L1 did not respond to RT + anti-CTLA4, demonstrated persistent T cell exhaustion, and rapidly progressed. Thus, the combination of RT, anti-CTLA4, and anti-PD-L1 promotes response through distinct mechanisms.
Radiation and dual checkpoint blockade activate non-redundant immune mechanisms in cancer.

View SamplesProstate cancer (PCa) tends to be more aggressive and lethal in African Americans (AA) compared to European Americans (EA). To further understand the biological factors accounting for the PCa disparities observed in AA and EA patients, we performed gene profiling using Affymetrix human exon 1.0 ST arrays to identify the differentially expressed genes beween AA cancer and patient matched normal tissues.
