The clonal CD3- CD4+ Th2 cell population characterizing some hypereosinophilic syndrome patients stably endures for years provoking a chronic inflammatory skin disease, with a subgroup of patients ultimately progressing to T-cell lymphoma. The aim of this study is the identification of the molecular changes (1) associated with the persistence of the pre-malignant clone (2) associated with the activation of co-stimulatory receptors and (3) associated with the emergence of malignant T-cell subclones.
Molecular profiling of CD3-CD4+ T cells from patients with the lymphocytic variant of hypereosinophilic syndrome reveals targeting of growth control pathways.

View SamplesCD4+ helper T (Th) cells are critical regulators of immune responses but their role in breast cancer is currently unknown. This work aims to characterize Th cells infiltrating invasive primary human breast tumors, analyze the influence by the tumor microenvironment and identify Th cell specific prognostic gene signatures. CD4+ T cells isolated from the tumor (TIL), axillary lymph node (LN) and blood (PB) of 10 patients were analyzed on Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. A confirmation set of 60 patients were studied by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR or immunohistochemistry and analyzed according to the extent of the tumor immune infiltrate. Gene expression profiles of freshly isolated TIL were also compared with TIL that had been rested overnight or with CD4+ T cells [non-stimulated (NS) or stimulated (S)] from healthy donor PB treated with tumor supernatant (SN).

View SamplesThis experiment aims to identify the biological pathways and diseases associated with the cytokine Interleukin 13 (IL-13) using gene expression measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Overall design: The experiment comprised of samples obtained from 3 healthy donors. The expression profiles of in vitro IL-13 stimulation were generated using RNA-seq technology for 3 PBMC samples at 24 hours. The transcriptional profiles of PBMCs without IL-13 stimulation were also generated to be used as controls. An IL-13R-alpha antagonist (Redpath et al. Biochemical Journal, 2013) was introduced into IL-13 stimulated PBMCs and the gene expression levels after 24h were profiled to examine the neutralization of IL-13 signaling by the antagonist.
Combining multiple tools outperforms individual methods in gene set enrichment analyses.

View SamplesWe used an Illumina Gene Expression Array to understand in more detail how T387 phosphorylation affects ISG induction. mRNA preparations from U6A cells expressing wild-type or T387A STAT2, treated with IFN- for 0, 4, 8, or 24 h, were analyzed.
Negative regulation of type I IFN signaling by phosphorylation of STAT2 on T387.

View SamplesThe goal of this experiment was to identify transcripts that are differentially expressed in dCAP-D3 mutant tissues. Overall design: RNA was isolated from wing discs and salivary glands of wild type (w1118) or dCap-D3 homozygous mutant (dCap-D3c07081/c07081) larvae. Directional (wing disc) or nondirectional (salivary gland) cDNA libraries (50 bp, paired end) were made at the University of Chicago Genomics Core and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500, according to standard protocols.
