We have found that thyroid hormones (THs), acting as soluble integrin avß3 ligands, activate growth-related signaling pathways in T-cell lymphomas (TCL). Specifically, TH-activated avß3 integrin signaling promotes TCL proliferation and angiogenesis, in part, via the up-regulation of VEGF. Overall design: CUTLL1 cells were treated with T3- and T4-bound agarose or agarose alone for 24hrs. Total RNA was harvested from cells and used for expression profiling via RNA-seq.

View SamplesTranscriptome analysis of Casz1 was performed using litters of postnatal day 2 retinas from crosses between Casz1Flox/Flox; R26-Stop-EYFP and Casz1Flox/Flox; IKCre-A; R26-Stop-EYFP. The IK-A Cre driver is described in Tarchini et al., Dev Dyn 241(12):1973-85. EYFP marks Cre expressing (and therefore cKO) cells. Cells were incubated for 30 min in RGM serum-free medium described in Cayouette et al., Neuron 40(5):897, supplemented with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen), and 4N cells were sorted using a MOFLO cytometer (Beckman) based on Hoechst, GFP expression, and propidium iodide exclusion. Overall design: Cells were sorted directly into lysis buffer on ice and RNA was immediately extracted using RNeasy mini columns (Qiagen). Two independent experiments were performed, and the RNA samples were processed in parallel. RNA amplification was performed using Truseq PE Cluster kit v3 PE50 (Illumina). Deep sequencing was performed using Truseq stranded mRNA (Illumina) with mRNA enrichment and strand-specific parameters, using a Hiseq 2000 instrument (Illumina).

View SamplesJuvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a very rare and aggressive stem cell disease that mainly occurs in young children. RAS activation constitutes the core component of oncogenic signaling. In addition, the leukemic blasts of a quarter of JMML patients present with monosomy 7 (-7), whereas more than half of the patients show enhanced age-adjusted fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the current standard of care. This results in an event-free survival of 50 - 60%, indicating that novel molecular driven therapeutic options are urgently needed. Using gene expression profiling in an extensive series of 82 patient samples, we aimed at understanding the molecular biology behind JMML and identified a previously unrecognized molecular subgroup characterized by high LIN28B expression.
LIN28B overexpression defines a novel fetal-like subgroup of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia.

View SamplesA "Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs" (CIT) project from the french Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer (<a href="http://cit.ligue-cancer.net" target="_blank">http://cit.ligue-cancer.net</a>). 104 samples; Affymetrix U133A micro-arrays.<br></br> <br></br> Ninety two patients with T-ALL were diagnosed and treated at Saint-Louis hospital, Paris. Seven patients were studied at diagnosis and relapse (total 99 T-ALL samples). There were 56 children (median age 9 years old; range 1 to 16), and 36 adults (median age 27; range 17 to 66). Informed consent was obtained from the patients and/or relatives. T-ALL diagnosis was based on morphological and immunophenotypical criteria using flow cytometry and an extended monoclonal antibody panel.<br></br> <br></br> Using a combination of molecular cytogenetic and large-scale expression analysis in human T-ALL, we identified and characterized a new recurrent chromosomal translocation, targeting the major homeobox gene cluster HOXA and the TCRB locus. Specific quantitative PCR analysis showed that the expression of the whole HOXA gene cluster was dramatically dysregulated in the HOXA-rearranged cases, and also in MLL and CALM-AF10-related T-ALL cases, strongly suggesting that HOXA genes are oncogenic in these leukemias. Inclusion of HOXA-translocated cases in a general molecular portrait of 92 T-ALL based on large-scale expression analysis shows that this rearrangement defines a new homogeneous subgroup, which shares common biological networks with the TLX1 and TLX3-related cases. Since T-ALLs derive from T-cell progenitors, expression profiles of the distinct T-ALL subgroups were analyzed with respect to those of normal human thymic sub-populations. Inappropriate utilization or perturbation of specific molecular networks involved in thymic differentiation was detected. Moreover, we found a significant association between T-ALL oncogenic subgroups and ectopic expression of a limited set of genes, including several developmental genes, namely HOXA, TLX1, TLX3, NKX3-1, SIX6 and TFAP2C. These data strongly support the view that the abnormal expression of developmental genes, including the prototypical homeobox genes HOXA, is critical in T-ALL oncogenesis.<br></br> <br></br> Project Leader: <br></br> FranC'ois Sigaux<br></br> Institut Universitaire d'Hematologie<br></br> Hopital Saint Louis, Paris, France<br></br> <br></br> Data submission:<br></br>Fabien Petel
