View SamplesLncRNA MACC1-AS1 is the antisense RNA of Metastasis-associated in colon cancer-1 (MACC-1), which is located on the sixth intron of MACC-1. To determine gene expression changes associated with overexpression of MACC1-AS1, we performed RNA-seq analysis on MDA231-Con and MDA231-MACC1-AS1 cells.

View SamplesHutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disease which is characterized by premature ageing. Affected children show accelerated cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) loss, and die at an average age of 14.6 years from myocardial infarction or stroke. The objective of this study was to detect the primary mechanism leading to VSMC death and accelerated atherosclerosis in mouse models of HGPS. In our RNA sequencing experiment we compared transcriptomes of medial aortas from both ubiquitous and VSMC-specific progeric models with its corresponding controls expressing lamin A/C or lamin C only, respectively. Our studies might not only help to find a cure for HGPS but also shed some light on physiological ageing.

View SamplesT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and lymphoma (T-LBL) share common morphologic and immunophenotypic features and are treated with similar therapeutic approaches. Nonetheless, they show distinct clinical presentations suggesting that they may represent two different biological entities. In order to investigate T-LBL and T-ALL biological characteristics we used transcriptional profiling approache. Genome-wide gene expression profiling, performed on 20 T-LBL and 10 T-ALL diagnostic specimens, showed that the two malignancies shared a large fraction of their transcriptional profile while a subset of genes appeared to be differentially expressed in T-LBL versus T-ALL. This gene signature included genes involved in chemotactic responses and angiogenesis which might play a role in the different tumor cell localization suggesting that T-LBL and T-ALL could be two distinct diseases with unique transcriptional characteristics.

View SamplesIn order to identify genes dysregulated by the aberrant transcriptional activity of RUNX1-RUNX1T1, we used microarrays to determine the effect of this mutation on gene expression during myeloid and erythroid development of normal human progenitor cells.

View SamplesBronchial asthma is associated with type 2 immune responses induced by components of adaptive as well as innate immunity. Although innate cytokines such as IL-25 have been shown to play key roles in development of airway hyperreactivity (AHR), little is known of innate molecules that regulate IL-25-mediated airway inflammation. We found that blockade of repulsive guidance molecule b (RGMb) in an experimental murine model of asthma blocked the development of AHR, a cardinal feature of asthma, and that RGMb is expressed on F4/80+CD11b+CD11cneg macrophages (RGMb+ macrophages), which accumulated in the lungs of OVA-sensitized and challenged mice, but not in nave mice. Moreover, we found that a large fraction of the RGMb+ macrophages expressed the IL-25 receptor IL-17RB and produced IL-13. IL-25 was critical for the development of AHR in our model, since mice deficient in IL-17RB did not develop AHR. Finally, treatment with anti-RGMb mAb during the challenge phase of the protocol after allergen sensitization effectively prevented the development of AHR and airway inflammation, suggesting for the first time that RGMb+ cells, including RGMb+ macrophages, play critical roles in allergen-induced asthma.
