View SamplesIn order to examine if the upregulation of DNA repair genes on chromosome 8 was associated with the abnormal DSB phenotype observed in trisomy 8 (defined by array CGH or cytogenetics), we compared the mRNA levels of DNA repair genes on chromosome 8 in trisomy 8 t-AML patients versus normal t-AML gammaH2AX responders using gene expression array data.

View SamplesCFU-PreB colonies are reduced in number and size in Hspa9+/- mice compared to wildtype littermates. We compared the expression profiles of these colonies to gain insight into the mechanism driving this difference.
Reduced levels of Hspa9 attenuate Stat5 activation in mouse B cells.

View SamplesKnockdown of HSPA9 causes a dose-dependent decrease in erythroid maturation of CD34+ cells differentiated in culture. Due to differences in the degree of differentiation, a more homogeneous population was selected for using FACS and the gene expression profile of these cells was compared. We used a lentiviral vector (pLKO.1) expressing short hairpin RNAs targeting either luciferase (control shLUC) or HSPA9 (shHSPA9-433) to knock down expression of HSPA9.

Genomic impact of transient low-dose decitabine treatment on primary AML cells.
Sex, Age, Specimen part, Disease, Treatment
View SamplesAcute myeloid leukemia (AML), and other myeloid malignancies, are frequently treated with hypomethylating agents like decitabine. Alterations in the epigenome, induced by decitabine, are likely to result in gene expression changes. The effects of decitabine have not been systemically studied using primary AML samples.

View SamplesPilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) are the most common glioma in children. While many PAs are slow growing or clinically indolent, others exhibit more aggressive features with tumor recurrence and death. In order to identify genetic signatures that might predict PA clinical behavior, we performed gene expression profiling on 41 primary PAs arising sporadically and in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). While no expression signature was found that could discriminate clinically-aggressive or recurrent tumors from more indolent cases, PAs arising in patients with NF1 did exhibit a unique gene expression pattern. In addition, we identified a gene expression signature that stratified PAs by location (supratentorial versus infratentorial).
Distinct genetic signatures among pilocytic astrocytomas relate to their brain region origin.

View SamplesThe goal of this study was to determine whether there are any gene expression changes in cDC1s and cDC2s from WT, Flt3 KO, or Flt3L KO mice. Specifically whether developing in the absence of Flt3 signaling had any effects on the gene expression of the cDCs

View SamplesNK cells develop in the bone marrow and complete their maturation in peripheral organs, but the molecular events controlling maturation are incompletely understood. Utilizing an NK cell-specific miR-15/16 deficient genetic model (15aKO), we identified a critical role for miR-15/16 family microRNAs in the normal maturation of NK cells in vivo, with a specific reduction in mature CD11b+CD27- NK cells in multiple tissues. The mechanism responsible was a block in differentiation, since accelerated NK cell death was not evident, and earlier intermediates of NK cell maturation were expanded. Further, we identified Myb as a direct target of miR-15/16 in NK cells, with Myb expression increased in immature 15aKO NK cells. Following adoptive transfer, immature 15aKO NK cells exhibited defective maturation, which was rescued by ectopic miR-15/16 expression or Myb knockdown. Moreover, Myb overexpression resulted in defective NK cell maturation. Thus, miR-15/16 regulation of Myb controls the normal NK cell maturation program.
