Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions.The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognisable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells expressing markers of the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells as well as other cell types. The effects of KSHV infection of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) cultured in 3D matrix for three days were assayed using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips.
KSHV-initiated notch activation leads to membrane-type-1 matrix metalloproteinase-dependent lymphatic endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

View SamplesThis study was conducted to determine heterogeneity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in mammary tumors, by unsupervised analysis of single cell transcriptomes. Overall design: 768 single EpCAM-, CD45-, CD31- NG2- fibroblasts were isolated from mammary tumors of two 14 week old MMTV-PyMT mice. The cells were sequenced following the Smart-Seq2 protocol (Picelli et al. Nature Methods 2013).

View SamplesThe generation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells 1-4 has spawned unprecedented opportunities for investigating the molecular logic that underlies cellular pluripotency and reprogramming, as well as for obtaining patient-specific cells for future clinical applications. However, both prospects are hampered by the low efficiency of the reprogramming process. Here, we show that juvenile human primary keratinocytes can be efficiently reprogrammed to pluripotency by retroviral transduction with Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc. Keratinocyte-derived iPS (KiPS) cells appear indistinguishable from human embryonic stem (hES) cells in colony morphology, growth properties, expression of pluripotency-associated transcription factors and surface markers, as well as in vitro and in vivo differentiation potential. Notably, keratinocyte reprogramming to pluripotency is, at least, 100-fold more efficient and 2-fold faster than that of fibroblasts. This increase in reprogramming efficiency allowed us to expand the practicability of the technology and to generate KiPS cells from single plucked hairs from adult individuals.
