Description
Development of model systems that recapitulate the molecular heterogeneity observed amongst GBM tumors will expedite the testing of targeted molecular therapeutic strategies for GBM treatment. In this study, we profiled DNA copy number and mRNA expression in 21 independent GBM tumor lines maintained as subcutaneous xenografts (GBMX), and compared GBMX molecular signatures to those observed in GBM clinical specimens derived from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). The predominant copy number signature in both tumor groups was defined by chromosome-7-gain/chromosome-10-loss, a poor prognosis genetic signature. We also observed, at frequencies similar to that detected in TCGA GBMs genomic amplification and overexpression of known GBM oncogenes such as EGFR, MDM2, CDK6 and MYCN, and novel genes including NUP107, SLC35E3, MMP1, MMP13 and DDX1. The transcriptional signature of GBMX tumors, which was stable over multiple subcutaneous passages, was defined by overexpression of genes involved in M-phase, DNA Replication, and Chromosome organization (MRC) and was highly similar to the poor-prognosis mitosis-and-cell-cycle-module (MCM) in GBM. Assessment of gene expression in TCGA-derived GBMs revealed overexpression of MRC cancer genes AURKB, BIRC5, CCNB1, CCNB2, CDC2, CDK2, and FOXM1, which form a transcriptional network important for G2/M- progression and/or -checkpoint activation. In conclusion, our study supports propagation of GBM tumors as subcutaneous xenografts as a useful approach for sustaining key molecular characteristics of patient tumors, and highlights therapeutic opportunities conferred by this GBMX tumor panel for testing targeted therapeutic strategies for GBM treatment.

Description
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) carries a dismal prognosis and current treatments are only modestly effective. We present evidence that this variation is caused in part by recurrent, pervasive molecular differences between tumors. mRNA expression profiles measured using microdissected PDA clinical samples reveal three dominant subtypes of disease; epithelial, mesenchymal and acinar-like. The classical and quasi-mesenchymal subtypes are observed in human and mouse PDA cell lines. Importantly, responses to cytotoxics and KRAS depletion in human PDA cell lines differ substantially between subtypes, and in opposing directions. Integrated genomics implicate and functional studies support overexpression of the trancription factor GATA6 as a driver of the epithelial subtype. These results provide a molecular framework for evaluating the prospects of personalized treatment in PDA.

Description
We have previously demonstrated that bone marrow-derived DC can prevent diabetes development and halt progression of insulitis in NOD mice, the mouse model of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The DC population that was most effective in this therapy had a mature phenotype, expressed high levels of costimulatory molecules and secreted low levels of IL-12p70. The protective DC therapy induced regulatory Th2 cells that shifted the dominant Th1 environment, present in NOD mice, to a mixed Th1/Th2 milieu. Microarray analysis of therapeutic and non-therapeutic DC populations revealed several novel molecules that could play important roles in the observed DC-mediated therapy. The therapeutic DC population expressed a unique pattern of costimulatory molecules and chemokines, which were confirmed by flow cytometry and ELISA assays. We have performed in vitro chemotaxis assays that demonstrated the therapeutic DC preferentially attracted Th2 cells, as compared to Th1, Treg or nave T cells. In addition we quantified the in vivo migration of activated islet-specific T cells to the pancreas using novel cell labeling techniques and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance. A subcutaenous injection of therapeutic DC alters the migration of both Th1 and Th2 cells to the pancreas, and Th1 cells appeared in the lymph node draining the site of DC injection. These results suggest that the therapeutic function of DC is mediated in part by the chemoattractive properties of these DC for diabetogenic Th1 cells.

Description
Non-symbiotic hemoglobins are ubiquitously expressed proteins known to interact with nitric oxide, an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration and an important signalling component. We evaluated the underlying molecular mechanisms of AtHb1 (also referred as AtGLB1 or AHb1) function, its effects on stress response and the interplay with nitric oxide. For this purpose, AtHb1 was overexpressed in Arabidopsis thaliana under control of the seed-specific promoter LeB4.

- Affymetrix Mouse Expression 430A Array (moe430a)
Description
Whereas DNA methylation is essential for genomic imprinting, the importance of histone methylation in the allelic repression of imprinted genes is unclear. Imprinting control regions (ICRs), however, are consistently marked by histone H3 K9 methylation on their DNA-methylated allele. In the placenta, the paternal silencing along the Kcnq1 domain on distal chromosome 7 also correlates with the presence of H3-K9 methylation, but imprinted repression at these genes is maintained independently of DNA methylation. To explore which histone methyltransferase (HMT) could mediate the allelic H3-K9 methylation on distal chromosome 7, and at ICRs, we generated mouse conceptuses deficient for the SET-domain protein G9a. We find that in the embryo and placenta, the differential DNA methylation at ICRs and imprinted genes is maintained in the absence of G9a. Accordingly, in embryos, imprinted gene expression is unchanged at the domains analysed, in spite of a global loss of H3-K9 di-methylation (H3K9me2). In contrast, the placenta-specific imprinting of genes on distal chromosome 7 is lost in the absence of G9, and this correlates with a loss of H3K9me2 and H3K9me3. These findings provide the first in vivo evidence for the involvement of a SET domain protein in imprinting and highlight the importance of histone lysine methylation rather than DNA methylation in the maintenance of imprinting in the trophoblast lineage.
