Glioblastoma (GBM) derived sphere lines and adherent cell lines are an important tool for research in basic and translational neuro-oncology. Documentation of their genetic identity has become a requirement for scientific journals and grant applications to exclude cross-contamination and misidentification that lead to misinterpretation of results. Here, we report expression data for 26 samples including 4 GBM derived sphere lines (4 x 3 replicates), 2 GBM derived sphere lines passaged through intracranial transplantation (2x 1), 2 adherent GBM derived cell lines (2 + 2 x 3 replicates), 4 corresponding glioblastoma tumors and 2 non-tumor brain tissues.

View SamplesAnalysis of 80 glioblastoma specimen of patients treated within clinical trials and 4 samples of "normal" brain tissue (non-tumoral). The data was used to identify factors of resistance to a chemoradiation therapy protocol of radiotherapy and concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide (alkylating agent).

View SamplesHuman epidermal keratinocytes undergo tightly controlled program of cell differentiation, leading to the formation of cornified envelope. Primary keratinocytes in vitro, under calcium stimulation mimic the differentiation program observed in vivo. Analysis of the transcription profile of two cell population, such as proliferating cells and differentiating cells helps to discover new genes implicated in that process and to understand the mechanisms of regulation of the keratinocyte differentiation.

View SamplesGlioblastoma is the most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults and due to the invasive nature it cannot be completely removed. We have recently shown that the WNT inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1), a secreted inhibitor of WNTs, is downregulated in glioblastoma and acts as strong tumor suppressor. In search of a mediator for this function differential gene expression profiles of WIF1-expressing cells were performed. MALAT1, a long non-coding RNA and key positive regulator of invasion, emerged as the top downregulated gene. Indeed, knock-down of MALAT1 reduced migration in glioblastoma cells, without effect on proliferation.
WIF1 re-expression in glioblastoma inhibits migration through attenuation of non-canonical WNT signaling by downregulating the lncRNA MALAT1.

View SamplesLittle is known about the immune performance and interactions of CNS microglia/macrophages in glioma patients. Microglia/macrophages were found to be the predominant immune cell infiltrating gliomas (approximately 1% of total cells); others identified are myeloid dendritic cells (DCs), plasmacytoid DCs, and T cells. Using a procedure enriching for CD11b/c+CD45+ glioma-infiltrating microglia/macrophages (GIMs) from postoperative tissue specimens of glioma patients (Hussain et al. Neuro Oncol. 2006 J;8(3):261-79) gene expression profiles were obtained form paired samples. The expression profiles are used to identify expression signatures contributed by GIMs in glioblastoma data sets (Murat et al, submitted).

View SamplesPancreatic islet beta cell failure causes type 2 diabetes (T2D). The IMIDIA consortium has used a strategy entailing a stringent comparative transcriptomics analysis of islets isolated enzymatically or by laser microdissection from two large cohorts of non-diabetic (ND) and T2D organ donors (OD) or partially pancreatectomized patients (PPP). This work led to the identification of a signature of genes that were differentially expressed between T2D and ND regardless of the sample type (OD or PPP). This signature includes 19 genes, of which 9 have never been previously reported to be differentially expressed in T2D islets. The PPP cohort also includes samples from individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recent onset diabetes associated with a pancreatic exocrine disorder (T3cD). Notably, none of the 19 signature genes of T2D islets were significantly dysregulated in islets of subjects with IGT or T3cD, suggesting that their changed expression reflects beta cell deterioration rather than a deficit preceding it.
