View SamplesIn order to investigate the genes that might be regulated by the activating signal cointegrator 1 (ASC-1) complex we performed an expression analysis using the GeneChip Human Gene 2.0 ST Array (Affymetrix)
Mutations in Subunits of the Activating Signal Cointegrator 1 Complex Are Associated with Prenatal Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Congenital Bone Fractures.

View SamplesERG overexpression was conducted in stably transfected K562 cell line with a tet-on inducible plasmid habouring ERG3. Prolonged induction of ERG (8 days) produced spindle cell shape changes whereas non-induced cells retained the round morphology. In oder to determine the genes responsible for inducing cell shape changes, a genome wide transcriptional screen was conducted.
ERG induces a mesenchymal-like state associated with chemoresistance in leukemia cells.

View SamplesComplete identification of the bone marrow niche remains one of the most progressing fields. Attempts to identify soluble factors involved in stem cell renewal have been less successful. We have previously shown that endothelial cells (EC) can induce the long-term proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), especially when they had been subjected to an inflammatory stimulus like interleukins (IL) 1.
Interleukin 32 promotes hematopoietic progenitor expansion and attenuates bone marrow cytotoxicity.

View SamplesPreeclampsia complicates more than 3% of all pregnancies in the United States and Europe. High-risk populations include women with diabetes, dyslipidemia, thrombotic disorders, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension, renal diseases, previous preeclampsia, twin pregnancies, and low socioeconomic status. In the latter case, the incidence may increase to 20% to 25%. Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is defined by systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mm Hg after 20 weeks gestation in a previously normotensive patient, and new-onset proteinuria. Abnormal placentation associated with shallow trophoblast invasion (fetal cells from outer cell layer of the blastocyst) into endometrium (decidua) and improper spiral artery remodeling in the decidua are initial pathological steps.

View SamplesThe aim of this study is to generate and validate biomarkers to stratify patients with Barretts esophagus in terms of risk for developing cancer. We studied gene expression profiling in 69 frozen specimens, consisting of esophageal squamous epithelium from 19 healthy subjects, 20 specimens from patients with Barretts esophagus and 21 cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma, 9 cased of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma by whole genome microarray analysis. Laser capture microdissection technique was applied to procure cells from defined regions of Barretts esophagus metaplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Microarray results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in an independent cohort consisting of 42 cases. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry was performed using antibodies to two selected target molecules on a third independent cohort of 36 specimens, consisting of 36 cases. A total of 1176 genes were associated significantly with esophageal adenocarcinoma. The expression pattern of a 4 gene signature with the highest discriminant score based on linear discriminant analysis (GeneSpring GX10.2), was identified and validated by qRT-PCR in independent cohort.
Wdr66 is a novel marker for risk stratification and involved in epithelial-mesenchymal transition of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

We hypothesized that microarray studies could identify aberrantly expressed genes selectively expressed in AML blasts, believing that these genes may be potential therapeutic targets for adoptive T-cell strategies
