In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), 13q14 and 11q22-23 deletions are found in 2/3 of the cases. 11q22-23 deletions are associated with poor survival, whereas 13q14 deletions as single abnormality are often found in indolent disease forms. The molecular basis for this difference in prognosis is not known.

View SamplesChronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common and heterogeneous disease. An accurate prediction of outcome is highly relevant for the development of personalized treatment strategies. Microarray technology was shown to be a useful tool for the development of prognostic gene expression scores. However, there are no gene expression scores which are able to predict overall survival in CLL based on the expression of few genes that are better than established prognostic markers. We correlated 151 CLL microarray data sets with overall survival using Cox regression and supervised principal component analysis to derive a prognostic score. This score based on the expression levels of eight genes and was validated in an independent group of 149 CLL patients by quantitative real time PCR. The score was predictive for overall survival and time to treatment in univariate Cox regression in the validation data set (both: p<0.001) and in a multivariate analysis after adjustment for 17p and 11q deletions and the IgVH-status. The score achieved superior prognostic accuracy compared to models based on genomic aberrations and IgVH-status and may support personalized therapy.

View SamplesAnthocyanin induction in plant is considered a general defense response against biotic and abiotic stresses. The infection by Ustilago maydis, the corn smut pathogen, is accompanied with anthocyanin induction in leaf tissue. We revealed that anthocyanin is intentionally induced by the virulence promoting secreted effector protein Tin2. Tin2 protein functions inside plant cells where it interacts with cytoplasmic maize protein kinase ZmTTK1. Tin2 masks an ubiquitin-proteasome degradation motif in ZmTTK1 leading to a more stable active kinase. Active ZmTTK1 controls transcriptional activation of genes in the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway rerouting phenylalanine away from lignin biosynthesis.

View SamplesTGF-b1-stimulation induces an epithelial dedifferentiation-process, throughout which epithelial cell sheets disintegrate and gradually switch into fibroblastic-appearing cells (EMT-like transition). The purpose of these profiles was to identify differentially expressed genes that are regulated transcriptionally. Standard microarry-based gene expression profiles measure steady-state RNA but do not provide insight into underlying regulatory principles. NIAC-NTR-based gene expression profiling (Kenzelmann et al., PNAS, 2007) essentially enables the dissection of transcriptionally versus non-transcriptionally regulated genes within respective analysed time-frames. Briefly, NIAC-NTR relies on incorporation of 4sU (thio-uridine) into nascent RNA, which can subsequently be specifically isolated by custom-made columns. Total- and enriched (4sU-labeled) are then further processed for microarray gene expression profiling by standard procedures. This dataset complements previously released data of NIAC-NTR-based gene expression profiling of cells treated with TGF-b1 and 4sU for 2hrs [GSE23833].

View SamplesTGF-b1-stimulation induces an epithelial dedifferentiation-process, throughout which epithelial cell sheets disintegrate and gradually switch into fibroblastic-appearing cells (EMT-like transition). Several transcription factors, some of them being TGF-b1-responsive, are functionally involved in such a switch and affect epithelial differentiation and plasticity.

View SamplesS. reilianum triggered loss of organ and meristem identity, and loss of meristem determinacy in male and female inflorescences and flowers. Microarray analysis showed that these developmental changes were accompanied with transcriptional regulation of genes proposed to regulate floral organ and meristem identity, and meristem determinacy in maize.
