View SamplesWe analyzed gene expression profiles of myeloma cells belonging to the group of bas prognosis RPMI 8226 and LP1 expressing either the GFP protein or a cyclin D1-GFP fusion protein
Cyclin D1 sensitizes myeloma cells to endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis by activating the unfolded protein response pathway.

View SamplesPhytophthora cinnamomi is a devastating soil-borne oomycete with a very broad host range however there remains a major gap in the understanding of plant resistance responses to the pathogen, furthermore, necrotrophic plant-pathogen interactions, particularly those of root pathogens, remain poorly understood. Zea mays exhibits non-host resistance to the pathogen and has been well characterised as a model species. Using the maize Affymetrix GeneChip array we conducted genome-wide gene expression profiling to elucidate the defence genes and pathways which are induced in the root tissue of a resistant plant species to the pathogen.

View SamplesTo study the effects of treatment with an inhaled PI3Kδ inhibitor during recovery from an exacerbation of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) due to corrective effects on neutrophils that display dysregulated migration characteristics. We aimed to develop novel induced sputum endpoints to demonstrate changes in neutrophil phenotype and proof of mechanism of action in the lung.

View SamplesTranscriptional profiles of the cerebellar endothelial cells from P16 Fz4-/- animals were compared to their wild type littermate controls. The goal is to characterize the long-term effect on the transcriptome of loss of Fz4 signaling in cerebellar endothelial cells.

View SamplesMultiple Myeloma (MM) is an hematological malignancy. MM cells are resistant to X-ray irradiations. We irradiated RPMI 8226 cancer cells with C-ions, which are more energetic than X-ray irradiations. We found that MM cells, RPMI 8226, are also resistant to C-ion irradiations.

View SamplesEngineering clinically relevant cells in vitro holds promise for regenerative medicine, but most protocols fail to faithfully recapitulate target cell properties. To address this, we developed CellNet, a network biology platform that determines whether engineered cells are equivalent to their target tissues, diagnoses aberrant gene regulatory networks, and prioritizes candidate transcriptional regulators to enhance engineered conversions. Using CellNet, we improved B cell to macrophage conversion, transcriptionally and functionally, by knocking down predicted B cell regulators. Analyzing conversion of fibroblasts to induced hepatocytes (iHeps), CellNet revealed an unexpected intestinal program regulated by the master regulator Cdx2. We observed functional engraftment of mouse colon by iHeps, thereby establishing their broader potential as endoderm progenitors and demonstrating direct conversion of fibroblasts into intestinal epithelium. Our studies illustrate how CellNet can be employed to improve direct conversion and to uncover unappreciated properties of engineered cells.

View SamplesDecades of progress in developmental cardiology has advanced our understanding of the early aspects of heart development, including cardiomyocyte (CM) differentiation. However, control of CM maturation which is subsequently required to generate adult myocytes, remains elusive. Here, we analyzed over 200 microarray datasets from early embryonic to adult hearts and identified a large number of genes whose expression shifts gradually and continuously during maturation. We generated an atlas of integrated gene expression, biological pathways, transcriptional regulators, and gene regulatory networks (GRNs), which show discrete sets of key transcriptional regulators and pathways activated or suppressed during CM maturation. We developed a GRN-based program named MatStatCM that indexes CM maturation status. MatStatCM reveals that pluripotent stem cell-derived CMs mature early in culture, but are arrested at the late embryonic stage with aberrant regulation of key transcription factors. Our study provides a foundation for understanding CM maturation.
