Injury of skeletal muscle is a common occurence affecting millions worldwide. Injuries usually are not major incisions into daily life, however, the underlying health varies e. g. due to obesity. Obesity is usually accompanied by excessive and dysfunctional lipid depots, chronic low-grade inflammation as well as several co-morbidities, which are able to impair the regeneration of skeletal muscle.

View SamplesColorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide due to high apoptotic resistance and metastatic potential. Since mutations as well as deregulation of CK1 isoforms contribute to tumor development and progression, CK1 has become an interesting drug target. In this study, we show that CK1 isoforms are differently expressed in colon tumor cell lines and that growth of these cell lines can be inhibited by CK1-specific inhibitors. Furthermore, expression of CK1 and is changed in colorectal tumors and high CK1 expression levels significantly correlate with prolonged patients' survival. In addition to changes in CK1 and expression, mutations within exon 3 of CK1 were detected in colorectal tumors. These mutations influence ATP binding, leading to changes in the kinetic parameters.

View SamplesDAC represents a therapeutic option for elderly AML patients. However, there is still a lack of data for valid biomarkers in respect to response. We executed a gene expression analysis prior to treatment to evaluate gene expression patterns associated with response that might be used to predict DAC therapy outcome. In our cohort an objective ORR of 27% was seen. In a class comparison analysis 333 genes were identified that correlated significantly with response. In this gene signature genes that were prior associated with adverse outcome to regular chemotherapy were enriched in the response group. Interistingly for the non response cohort TSG showed an increased expression, suggesting that epigenetic silencing due to promoter hypermethylation might play a lesser role in theses leukemia pathogenesis.

View SamplesCNS leukemia is still the major obstacle in treating childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We have used our NOD/SCID/huALL xenotransplantation model to identify molecular pathways leading to the infiltration of leukemic cells into the CNS compartment.
Central nervous system involvement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia is mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor.

View SamplesTargeted mouse mutants with inactivated Mixed-Lineage-Leukemia-5 (Mll5, MGI:1924825) alleles exhibit numerical, cell cycle and functional abnormalities in their hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) compartments, including hyper-proliferation of otherwise quiescent hematopoietic stem cells, lack of long-term reconstitution potential and profound radiation sensitivity. Most of the HSPC defects are secondary to increased levels of DNA damage and intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To obtain first insights into underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed Affymetrix gene chip analysis using total RNA isolated from FACS-sorted Lin-Sca1+Kit+ (LSK) cells of Mll5+/+ and Mll5-/- mice, both with and without prior long-term treatment with the ROS quencher N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC). As key finding, microarray data revealed elevated hybridization signals for several transcripts of known or putative IFN-1 target genes in LSK cells from Mll5-/- mice irrespective of NAC-treatment. In fact, comprehensive gene set enrichment analysis identified a number of gene sets closely associated with interferon responses that were significantly affected in Mll5-/- LSK cells.

View SamplesTotal bone marrow (BM) from miR-223 knockout (mir-223-/-) and wildtype (miR-223+/+) mice 21 was extracted, prestimulated for 2 days. Then, the BM cells were simultaneously cotransduced with MSCV-Hoxa9-pgk-neomycin and a MSCV-Meis1-IRES-YFP by co-cultivation with irradiated (4,000 cGy) viral producers. HoxA9-Meis1 transduced cells were sorted for YFP expression and continuously selected with neomycin (1.4 mg/ml).

View SamplesLamin B1 is a component of the nuclear envelope involved in epigenetic chromatin regulation and is reduced during B cell activation and formation of lymphoid germinal centres. RNAi-mediated reduction of Lamin B1 results in spontaneous SHM as well as kappa-light chain aberrant surface expression showing that Lamin B1 is a negative epigenetic regulator of SHM.
