Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma cell disorder frequently accompanied by hematopoietic impairment. Genomic profiling of distinct HSPC subsets revealed a consistent deregulation of signaling cascades, including TGF beta signaling, p38MAPK signaling and pathways involved in cytoskeletal organization, migration, adhesion and cell cycle regulation in MM patients.

View SamplesTo address the role of INO80/SWR-type remodeling complexes, we deleted Ep400 at defined times of mouse oligodendrocyte development. Whereas oligodendrocyte precursors are specified and develop normally without Ep400, terminal differentiation is dramatically impaired resulting in hypomyelination. RNA-Seq studies were performed on cultured and FACS sorted control and Ep400-deficient mouse oligodendrocytes to analyze changes in gene expression. These revealed that genes associated with the myelination program and with response to DNA damage are altered in Ep400-deficient oligodendrocytes. Overall design: OPC mRNA profiles of 6-day old control (ctrl) and Ep400 cko mice were generated using the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.
Chromatin remodeler Ep400 ensures oligodendrocyte survival and is required for myelination in the vertebrate central nervous system.

View SamplesThe widespread use of electricity raises the question of whether or not 50 Hz (power line frequency in Europe) magnetic fields (MFs) affect organisms. We investigated the transcription of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 in response to extremely low-frequency (ELF) MFs. Fields generated by three signal types (sinusoidal continuous, sinusoidal intermittent, and power line intermittent; all at 50 Hz, 1 mT), were applied and gene expression was monitored at the transcript level using an Affymetrix whole-genome microarray. Bacterial cells were grown continuously in a chemostat (dilution rate D = 0.4 h-1) fed with glucose-limited minimal medium and exposed to 50 Hz MFs with a homogenous flux density of 1 mT. For all three types of MFs investigated, neither bacterial growth (determined using optical density) nor culturable counts were affected. Likewise, no statistically significant change (fold-change > 2, P 0.01) in the expression of 4,358 genes and 714 intergenic regions represented on the gene chip was detected after MF exposure for 2.5 h (1.4 generations) or 15 h (8.7 generations). Moreover, short-term exposure (8 min) to the sinusoidal continuous and power line intermittent signal neither affected bacterial growth nor showed evidence for reliable changes in transcription. In conclusion, our experiments did not indicate that the different tested MFs (50 Hz, 1 mT) affected the transcription of E. coli.

View SamplesMesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are multipotent cells that potentially promote angiogenesis. Especially MSC derived from the amnionic membrane of human term placentas (hAMSC) are promising candidates for a therapeutic use in vascular diseases, as cells can be isolated using non-invasive methods and are immunologically tolerated in vivo. In this study, we wanted to evaluate the endothelial differentiation potential of hAMSC.
Amnion-derived mesenchymal stromal cells show angiogenic properties but resist differentiation into mature endothelial cells.
