View SamplesType-1 interferons are critical for inhibiting HIV and simian immunodeficiency virus. However, it is largely unknown which of the hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) restrict HIV replication (with the notable exceptions of APOBEC3G, MX2, and BST-2). To identify HIV restriction factors, we sequenced activated CD4+ T cell RNA from 19 humans with untreated HIV infection before and after peginterferon alpha 2b (IFN) injection. Antiretroviral therapy (ART) durably suppresses HIV-1, prevents progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and reduces mortality. However, even with ART HIV-1 infected adults remain at higher risk of death from inflammatory disease. To understand the role of ART in altering cell-associated HIV RNA and host RNA changes within activated CD4 T cells we also sequenced activated CD4 T cell RNA from these same 19 humans after initiating ART and obtaining =12 weeks of undetectable viremia.

View SamplesThe aim of this experiment was to get a comparison of the signatures between a non-transformed cell (NIH3T3 + vector) and a transformed cell (NIH3T3 + Fbxo7). NIH3T3 cells become transformed after the stable integration of the Fbxo7 gene. Fbxo7 potentiates cyclin D/cdk6 activity.
Transforming activity of Fbxo7 is mediated specifically through regulation of cyclin D/cdk6.

View SamplesRNA microarray profiling of 45 tissue samples was carried out using the Affymetrix (U133) gene expression platform. Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was employed to isolate cancer cells from the tumors of 18 serous ovarian cancer patients (Cepi). For 7 of these patients, a matched set of surrounding cancer stroma (CS) was also collected. For controls, surface ovarian epithelial cells (OSE) were isolated from the normal (non-cancerous) ovaries of 12 individuals including matched sets of samples of OSE and normal stroma (NS) from 8 of these patients. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the microarray data resulted in the expected separation between the OSE and Cepi samples. Consistent with models of stromal activation, we also observed significant separation between the NS and CS samples. Unexpectedly, the CS samples sub-divided into two distinct groups. Analysis of expression patterns of genes encoding signaling molecules and compatible receptors in the CS and Cepi samples are consistent with the hypothesis that the two CS sub-groups differ significantly in their relative propensities to support tumor growth.The results indicate the existence of distinct categories of ovarian cancer stroma and suggest that functionally significant variability exists among ovarian cancer patients in the ability of the microenvironment to modulate cancer development.
Molecular profiling predicts the existence of two functionally distinct classes of ovarian cancer stroma.
