View SamplesThe most frequent mature aggressive B-cell lymphomas are diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL). Patients suffering from molecularly defined BL (mBL) but treated with a regimen developed for DLBCL show an unfavorable outcome compared to mBL treated with chemotherapy regimens for BL. Distinguishing BL from DLBCL by conventional histopathology is challenging in lymphomas that have features common to both diseases (aggressive B-cell lymphoma unclassifiable with features of DLBCL and BL [intermediates]). Moreover, DLBCL are a heterogeneous group of lymphomas comprising distinct molecular subtypes: the activated B-cell (ABC)-like, the germinal center B-cell-like (GCB) and the unclassifyable subtype as defined by gene expression profiling (GEP). Attempts to replace GEP with techniques applicable to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue led to algorithms for immunohistochemical stainings (IHS). Disappointingly, the algorithms yielded conflicting results with respect to their prognostic potential, raising concerns about their validity. Furthermore, IHS algorithms did not provide a fully resolved classification: They did not identify mBL; nor did they separate ABC from unclassified DLBCL.

View SamplesPulmonary alveoli are complex architectural units thought to undergo endogenous or pharmacologically induced programs of regeneration and degeneration. To study the molecular mechanism of alveoli loss mice were calorie restricted at different timepoints. Lungs were harvested and processed for RNA extraction.

View SamplesIt has been shown that dexamethasone (Dex) impairs the normal lung septation that occurs in the early postnatal period. Treatment with retinoic acid (ATRA) abrogates the effects of Dex. To understand the molecular basis for the Dex indiced inhibition of the formation of the alveoli and the ability of ATRA to prevent the inhibition of septation, gene expression was analyzed in 4-day old mice treated with diluent (control), Dex-treated and ATRA+Dex-treated.

View SamplesWe performed RNA-Seq and compared expression levels of genes of reactivated LCMV.GP66-77 specific CD4 T cells isolated from bone marrow (BM) and spleen of LCMV.GP61-80 primed C57BL/6 mice. Cells were isolated 3 days after antigenic re-challenge Overall design: C57BL/6 mice were primed at day 0 with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and immunized again at day 14 with LCMV.GP61-80 + poly(I:C). 60 days later, C57BL/6 mice were boosted with LCMV.GP61-80-NP-MSA + poly(I:C) and 3 days after the boost, LCMV specific CD4 T cells were isolated from BM and spleen

View SamplesWe compared gene expression profiles of Th cells, macrophages and monocytes isolated from the inflamed colon of colitis induced by the transfer of WT versus Tbx21-/- Th cells in Rag1-/- recipients.
T-bet expression by Th cells promotes type 1 inflammation but is dispensable for colitis.

View SamplesWe performed total RNA-Seq of murine Th1 cells which were four times reactivated in vitro in the presence of irradiated APC'srepeatedly activated in vitro. Overall design: CD4+CD62Lhi (naive) cells were isolated from C57BL/6 mice, activated with aCD3 and aCD28 an cultured under Th1 polarizing conditions in the presence of irradiated APCs. Every sixth day cells were harvested, restimulated with aCD3 and aCD28 and cultured under Th1 polarizing conditions in the presence of irradiated APCs APCs. After four rounds of restimulation, total RNA was extracted and cDNA libraries for total RNA sequencing were generated using “TruSeq® Stranded Total RNA Library” kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).

View SamplesOverexpression of high mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) associated with truncations of its 3 untranslated region (UTR) with let-7 micro RNA-complementary sequences have been identified in patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Here, we generated transgenic mice (Hmga2 mice) with a 3UTR-trncated Hmga2 cDNA that overexpress Hmga2 mRNA and protein in hematopoietic organs. Hmga2 mice showed proliferative hematopoiesis that mimicked a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN)-like phenotype with increased numbers of all lineages of peripheral blood cells, hypercellular bone marrow (BM), splenomegaly with extramedullary erythropoiesis, and erythropoietin-independent erythroid colony formation compared to wild-type mice. Hmga2 BM-derived cells took over most of hematopoiesis in competitive repopulations during serial BM transplants. When we bred mice with circulating PNH cells (Piga- mice) with Hmga2 mice, the lack of GPI-linked proteins did not add an additional clonal advantage to the Hmga2+ cells. In summary, our results showed that the overexpression of a 3UTR-truncated Hmga2 leads to a proliferative hematopoiesis with clonal advantage, which may explain clonal expansion in PNH or MPN at the level of HSC.

View SamplesCalcific aortic valvular disease (CAVD) is characterized by sclerosis of the aortic valve leaflets and recent clinical studies have linked several other risk factors to this disease, including male sex. In this study we examined potential sex-related differences in gene expression profiles between porcine male and female valvular interstitial cells (VICs) to explore possible differences in CAVD propensity on the cellular level.

View SamplesWe previously showed that a diet containing phloridzin suppressed the blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice most likely by inhibiting glucose absorption from the small intestine. In this study, we showed that 0.5% and 1% phloridzin diets significantly reduce the blood glucose levels in healthy normal BALB/c mice after 7 days of feeding.
