Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Human lymphoblastoid cell lines (EBV-immortalised B cells, LcL) obtained from subjects of different age (young 28-40 years, centenarians >95 years) were analysed for gene expression at basal culture conditions and after 48 hours of serum starvation. Lymphoid B cells from centenarians were more resistant to apoptosis induction and displayed a more developed lysosomal compartment, the most critical component of phagic machinery. In addition, cells from centenarians were capable of engulfing and digesting other cells, i.e. their siblings (even entire cells). This behavior was improved by nutrient deprivation, but strikingly, it was unaffected by the autophagy-modulating drugs rapamycin, an autophagy inducer, and 3-methyladenine, an autophagy inhibitor.

Description
The improvement of Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) therapy is currently linked to find strategies to select patients with poor and good prognosis at diagnosis and to generate modified treatment regimens. In this study, we analyze the molecular factors governing EWS response to chemotherapy in order to identify genetic signatures that may be used for risk-adapted therapy.

Description
Thalidomide-dexamethasone (TD) combination is an effective induction therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, candidates for subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Since maximization of tumor response before ASCT may favorably affect the clinical outcomes, we designed a study to identify a gene expression profile (GEP) signature predictive of attainment of complete response to TD induction therapy. CD138+ bone marrow samples obtained at diagnosis from 112/311 patients were analyzed. Two subsequent time phases were planned. Firstly, a GEP supervised analysis, performed on a training set of 32 patients, allowed to identify 157 probe sets differentially expressed in complete responder + near complete responder (CR+nCR) versus partial responder patients. Than, we generated an 8-gene GEP signature predicting at diagnosis the probability to achieve CR+nCR to TD induction therapy. The performance of this assay was subsequently validated in an 80 patients training set. The 8-gene signature provide a negative predictive value of 93% and a positive predictive value of 44%. The 8 genes were down-regulated in patients who achieved at least a nCR. These results could be an important first step to adopting a diagnostic assay, used to determine, at diagnosis, patients who will respond more favourably to a particular treatment strategy.

Description
The prime focus of the current therapeutic strategy for Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an early and deep tumour burden reduction; this characterizes and defines the complete response (CR). To date, no description of the characteristics of the plasma cells (PC) prone to achieve CR has been reported. This study aimed at the molecular characterization of PC derived from MM patients who achieved CR after bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone (VTD) first line therapy.

Description
Hepatitis C Virus is a leading cause of chronic liver disease. The identification and characterisation of key host cellular factors that play a role in the HCV replication cycle is important for the understanding of disease pathogenesis and the identification of novel anti-viral therapeutic targets. Gene expression profiling of HCV infected Huh7 cells by microarray analysis was performed to identify host cellular genes that are transcriptionally regulated by infection. The expression of host genes involved in cellular defence mechanisms (apoptosis, proliferation and anti-oxidant responses), cellular metabolism (lipid and protein metabolism) and intracellular transport (vesicle trafficking and cytoskeleton regulation) was significantly altered by HCV infection. The gene expression patterns identified provide insight into the potential mechanisms that contribute to HCV associated pathogenesis. These include an increase in pro-inflammatory and pro-apoptotic signalling and a decrease in the anti-oxidant response pathways of the infected cell.

Gene expression profiling indicates the roles of host oxidative stress, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and intracellular transport genes in the replication of hepatitis C virus.
