Stringent regulation of the interferon signaling pathway is essential for maintaining the immune response to pathogens and tumors. The transcription factor STAT1 is a crucial mediator of this response. Here we show that hCAF1/CNOT7 regulates class I and II interferon pathways at different crucial steps. In resting cells hCAF1 can control STAT1 trafficking by interacting with the latent form of STAT1 in the cytoplasm. IFN treatment induces STAT1 release, suggesting that hCAF1 may shield cytoplasmic STAT1 from undesirable stimulation. Consistent, hCAF1 silencing enhances STAT1 basal promoter occupancy associated with increased expression of a subset of STAT1-regulated genes. Consequently, hCAF1 knockdown cells exhibit an increased protection against viral infection and reduced viral replication. Furthermore, hCAF1 participates in the extinction of the IFN signal, through its deadenylase activity, by speeding up the degradation of some STAT1-regulated mRNAs. Since abnormal and unbalanced JAK/STAT activation is associated with immune disorders and cancer, hCAF1 could play a major role in innate immunity and oncogenesis, contributing to tumor escape.

View SamplesMastic oil from Pistacia lentiscus variation chia, a blend of bioactive terpenes with recognized medicinal properties, has been recently shown to exert anti-tumor activity. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells are mastic oil-susceptible cells and were used in this work to study the effects of mastic oil at the transcriptomic level.

View SamplesHuman Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells were treated with three newly synthesized compounds and DMSO as vehicle. Total RNA was isolated 6 and 24h after treatment and gene expression analysis was performed. Three independent experiments were performed, corresponding to rep1, rep2 and rep3. Experiment 1 (rep1) contained all substances at both time points tested. Experiment 2 (rep2) contained two of the compounds and control DMSO at both time points. Experiment 3 (rep3) contained the third compound and control DMSO at both time points.

We established a novel mouse model of intermediate-term hyperglycemic memory and demonstrated that changes in gene expression and microvascular damage in the neurovascular unit of the diabetic retina persist after euglycemic reentry, indicating memory.

View SamplesIn order to address the progression, metastasis, and clinical heterogeneity of renal cell cancer (RCC), transcriptional profiling with oligonucleotide microarrays (22,283 genes) was done on 49 RCC tumors, 20 non-RCC renal tumors, and 23 normal kidney samples. Samples were clustered based on gene expression profiles and specific gene sets for each renal tumor type were identified. Gene expression was correlated to disease progression and a metastasis gene signature was derived. Gene signatures were identified for each tumor type with 100% accuracy. Differentially expressed genes during early tumor formation and tumor progression to metastatic RCC were found. Subsets of these genes code for secreted proteins and membrane receptors and are both potential therapeutic or diagnostic targets. A gene pattern ("metastatic signature") derived from primary tumors was very accurate in classifying tumors with and without metastases at the time of surgery. A previously described "global" metastatic signature derived by another group from various non-RCC tumors was validated in RCC. Unlike previous studies, we describe highly accurate and externally validated gene signatures for RCC subtypes and other renal tumors. Interestingly, the gene expression of primary tumors provides us information about the metastatic status in the respective patients and has the potential, if prospectively validated, to enrich the armamentarium of diagnostic tests in RCC. We validated in RCC, for the first time, a previously described metastatic signature and further showed the feasibility of applying a gene signature across different microarray platforms. Transcriptional profiling allows a better appreciation of the molecular and clinical heterogeneity in RCC.
