Affymetrix Human Genome U133A Array (hgu133a)
Description
SCL/TAL1, a tissue-specific transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family, and c-Kit, a tyrosine kinase receptor, control hematopoietic stem cell survival and quiescence. Here we report that SCL and c-Kit signaling control a common gene expression signature, of which 19 genes are associated with apoptosis. In vivo, SCL levels are limiting for the clonal expansion of Kit+ multipotent and erythroid progenitors. In addition, increased SCL expression specifically enhances the sensitivity of multipotent and megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitors to Steel factor (KIT ligand), whilst a DNA binding mutant antagonizes KIT function and induces apoptosis in progenitors. We conclude that Scl operates downstream of Kit to support the survival of megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitors. Finally, higher SCL expression upregulates Kit in normal bone marrow cells and increases chimerism after bone marrow transplantation, indicating that Scl is also upstream of Kit. We conclude that Scl and Kit establish a positive feedback loop in multipotent and megakaryocyte/erythroid progenitors.

Illumina HiSeq 2000
Description
We analysed the transcriptome of different HSC-enriched subpopulations of cells sorted from human umbilical cord blood and isolated from several individuals with different genetic backgrounds. We aim at identifying new cell surface markers associated with human HSC and downstream mature hematopoietic cell activity. Overall design: RNA-seq of CD34+CD45RA- cord blood cells from 17 non-pooled individuals.

Description
The goal of the study was to identify genes that are directly or indirectly coregulated by the AhR pathway in primary human AML cells. Patient AML cells were treated for 16 hours with the two indirubin derivatives 6-bromoindirubin-3''oxime (BIO), 1-Methyl-6-bromoindirubin-3''oxime (MeBIO), the AHR-antagonist SR1 (StemReginin1), combinations of BIO+SR1 and MeBIO+SR1 or DMSO alone at indicated concentrations prior to RNA extraction for sequencing. Overall design: RNA-Seq performed on 5 primary AML samples fresh (t0) and after exposure to AhR-agonists (2), -antagonist (1), and DMSO Contributor: Leucegene Project, IRIC

- Affymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST Array [probe set (exon) version (huex10st)
Description
Aberrant splice variants are involved in the initiation and/or progression of glial brain tumors. We therefore set out to identify splice variants that are differentially expressed between histological subgroups of gliomas. Splice variants were identified using a novel platform that profiles the expression of virtually all known and predicted exons present in the human genome. Exon-level expression profiling was performed on 26 glioblastomas, 22 oligodendrogliomas and 6 control brain samples. Our results demonstrate that Human Exon arrays can identify subgroups of gliomas based on their histological appearance and genetic aberrations. We next used our expression data to identify differentially expressed splice variants. In two independent approaches, we identified 49 and up to 459 exons that are differentially spliced between glioblastomas and oligodendrogliomas a subset of which (47% and 33%) were confirmed by RT-PCR. In addition, exon-level expression profiling also identified >700 novel exons. Expression of ~67% of these candidate novel exons was confirmed by RT-PCR. Our results indicate that exon-level expression profiling can be used to molecularly classify brain tumor subgroups, can identify differentially regulated splice variants and can identify novel exons. The splice variants identified by exon-level expression profiling may help to detect the genetic changes that cause or maintain gliomas and may serve as novel treatment targets.

Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Background: Intrinsic glioma subtypes (IGS) are molecularly similar tumors that can be identified based on unsupervised gene-expression analysis. Here, we have evaluated the clinical relevance of these subtypes within EORTC26951, a randomized phase III clinical trial investigating adjuvant procarbazine, CCNU (lomustine) and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy in anaplastic oligodendroglial tumors. Our study is the first to include gene-expression profiles of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) clinical trial samples. Methods: Gene-expression profiling was performed in 140 samples: 47 fresh frozen and 93 FFPE, on HU133_Plus_2.0 and HuEx_1.0_st arrays (Affymetrix), respectively. Results: All previously identified six intrinsic glioma subtypes are present in EORTC26951. This confirms that different molecular subtypes are present within a well-defined histological subtype. Intrinsic subtypes are highly prognostic for overall- (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). They are prognostic for PFS independent of clinical (age, performance, tumor location), molecular (1p19qLOH, IDH1 mutation, MGMT methylation) and histological parameters. Combining known molecular (1p19LOH, IDH1) prognostic parameters with intrinsic subtypes improves outcome prediction (Proportion of Explained Variation 30% v 23%). Specific genetic changes (IDH1, 1p19qLOH and EGFR amplification) segregate into different subtypes. We identified one subtype, IGS-9 (characterized by a high percentage of 1p19qLOH and IDH1 mutations), that especially benefits from PCV chemotherapy. Median OS in this subtype was 5.5 years after radiotherapy (RT) alone v 12.8 years after RT/PCV; P=0.0349; HR 2.18, 95% CI [1.06, 4.50]. Conclusion: Intrinsic subtypes are highly prognostic in EORTC26951 and improve outcome prediction when combined with other prognostic factors. Tumors assigned to IGS-9 benefit from adjuvant PCV
