View SamplesTodays diagnostic tests for multiple myeloma (MM) reflect the criteria of the updated WHO classification based on biomarkers and clinicopathologic heterogeneity. To that end, we propose a new subtyping of myeloma plasma cells (PC) by B-cell subset associated gene signatures (BAGS), from the normal B-cell hierarchy in the bone marrow (BM). To do this, we combined FACS and GEP data from normal BM samples to generate classifiers by BAGS for the PreBI, PreBII, immature (Im), nave (N), memory (M) and PC subsets. The resultant tumor assignments in available clinical datasets exhibited similar BAGS subtype frequencies in four cohorts across 1302 individual cases. The prognostic impact of BAGS was analyzed in patients treated with high dose melphalan as first line therapy in three prospective trials: UAMS, HOVON65/GMMG-HD4 and MRC Myeloma IX with Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 microarray data available from diagnostic myeloma PC samples. The BAGS subtypes were significantly associated with progression free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (PFS, P=3.05e06 and OS, P=1.06e11) in a meta-analysis of 926 pts. The major impact was observed within the PreBII and M subtypes conferred with significant inferior prognosis compared to the Im, N and PC subtypes. Cox proportional hazard meta-analysis documented that the BAGS subtypes added significant and independent prognostic information to the TC classification system and ISS staging. BAGS subtype analysis identified transcriptome differences and a number of novel differentially spliced genes. We have identified hierarchal subtype differences in the myeloma plasma cells, with prognostic impact. This observation support an acquired reversible B-cell trait and phenotypic plasticity as a hallmark, also in MM.

Disease
View SamplesThe ability to generate defined null mutations in mice revolutionized the analysis of gene function in mammals. However, gene-deficient mice generated by using 129-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells may carry large segments of 129 DNA, even when extensively backcrossed to reference strains, such as C57BL/6J, and this may confound interpretation of experiments performed in these mice. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), encoded by the PLAT gene, is a fibrinolytic serine protease that is widely expressed in the brain. A large number of neurological abnormalities have been reported in tPA-deficient mice. The studies here compare genes differentially expressed in the brains of Plat-/- mice from two independent Plat-/- mouse derivations to wild-type C57BL/6J mice. One strain denoted “Old” was constructed in ES cells from a 129 mouse and backcrossed extensively to C57BL/6J, and one denoted “New” Plat-/- mouse was constructed using zinc finger nucleases directly in the C57BL/6J-Plat-/- mouse strain. We identify a significant set of genes that are differentially expressed in the brains of Old Plat-/- mice that preferentially cluster in the vicinity of Plat on chromosome 8, apparently linked to more than 20 Mbp of DNA flanking Plat being of 129 origin. No such clustering is seen in the New Plat-/- mice. Overall design: Whole-transcriptome profiling of the cerebral cortex of wild-type control C57BL/6J mice and two independent Plat-/- mice strains on the C57BL/6J background.

View SamplesChanges in gene regulation have long been known to play important roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses. However, post-transcriptional mechanisms involved in mRNA processing have been poorly studied despite emerging examples of their role as regulators of immune defenses. We sought to investigate the role of mRNA processing in the cellular responses of human macrophages to live bacterial infections. Overall design: Transcriptomic profiles of 198 infected (Listeria and Salmonella) and non-infected samples at multiple time points.
Adaptively introgressed Neandertal haplotype at the OAS locus functionally impacts innate immune responses in humans.
