Zinc finger protein, X-linked (ZFX) is deregulated in various human leukemia patients. The silence of ZFX leads to the inhibited growth and enhance drug sensitivity of both K562 cells and Jurkat cells. To obtain molecular insights of how ZFX controls the proliferation and drug sensitivity of these cells, we generate the microarray data comparing control and ZFX silenced K562 and Jurkat cells.
ZFX modulates the growth of human leukemic cells via B4GALT1.

View SamplesThis study aims to compare mRNA expression between radiated and non-radiated human keratinocyte HaCaT cells by microarray analysis. Human keratinocyte HaCaT cells were divided into two groups, each group has three repeats. The cells were irradiated with a single dose of 0 or 20Gy of X-ray irradiation. 48 hours post radiation, cells from 0 or 20 Gy groups were collected and subjected to microarray analysis.

View SamplesAnalysis of the effects of the rs4919510C>G SNP on miRNA-608 target gene expression. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that the rs4919510C>G SNP may influence the expression of miRNA-608 target genes. Results provide important information of the effects of the rs4919510C>G SNP on miRNA-608 target genes, including immunity and defense genes, DNA repair genes, cell growth-related genes, tumor invasion and metastasis-related genes, cancer stem cell-related genes, and cell death-related genes.

View SamplesWe describe 9 CLL patients who underwent a spontaneous clinical regression. CD38 and ZAP-70 were negative in all cases. Immunoglobulin heavy chain variable region (IgVH) genes, mutated in all 7 evaluable patients, were restricted to the VH3 family in 6, with the usage of VH3-30 gene in 2. The light chain variable region genes were mutated in 6/8 cases, with the usage of V4-1 gene in 3. Microarray analysis of CLL cells revealed a distinctive genomic profile. The number of activated T lymphocytes expressing IFN-, TNF- and IL-4 was similar between CLL in spontaneous regression and healthy individuals.

View SamplesHairy cell leukemia (HCL) shows unique clinico-pathological and biological features. HCL responds well to purine analogues but relapses are frequent and novel therapies are required. BRAF-V600E is the key driver mutation in HCL and distinguishes it from other B-cell lymphomas, including HCL-like leukemias/lymphomas (HCL-variant and splenic marginal zone lymphoma). The kinase-activating BRAF-V600E mutation also represents an ideal therapeutic target in HCL. Here, we investigated the biological and therapeutic importance of the activated BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway in HCL by exposing in vitro primary leukemic cells purified from 26 patients to clinically available BRAF (Vemurafenib; Dabrafenib) or MEK (Trametinib) inhibitors. Results were validated in vivo in samples from Vemurafenib-treated HCL patients within a phase-2 clinical trial. BRAF and MEK inhibitors caused, specifically in HCL (but not HCL-like) cells, marked MEK/ERK dephosphorylation, silencing of the BRAF-MEK-ERK pathway transcriptional output, loss of the HCL-specific gene expression signature, downregulation of the HCL markers CD25, TRAP and cyclin-D1, smoothening of leukemic cells' hairy surface, and, eventually, apoptosis. Apoptosis was partially blunted by co-culture with bone marrow stromal cells antagonizing MEK-ERK dephosphorylation. This protective effect could be counteracted by combined BRAF and MEK inhibition. Our results strongly support and inform the clinical use of BRAF and MEK inhibitors in HCL.
BRAF inhibitors reverse the unique molecular signature and phenotype of hairy cell leukemia and exert potent antileukemic activity.

View SamplesSince the role of cord blood (CB) regulatory T cells (Tregs) for the suppression of the allogeneic T-cell response is under investigation, we analyzed and compared the functional properties and gene expression profile of Tregs expanded from CB units or from the peripheral blood (PB) of helathy donors. Tregs were purified from 23 CB units and from the PB of 13 donors and expanded for 6 days with anti-CD3, anti-CD28 and IL-2. Immunophenotypic analyses were performed, and suppressor activity of expanded Tregs was measured in mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) cultures. The IL-10 production capacity was tested and gene expression profile experiments were performed on 6 Tregs from PB and 4 from CB. CB and PB Tregs had similar immunophenotypic features. Tregs from CB presented a higher expansion capacity and genomic characterization showed in CB-derived Tregs a significant enrichments of genes involved in cell proliferation, chromatin modification and regulation of gene expression in CB-derived Tregs. All samples were positive for the Foxp3 gene and protein after expansion. CB and PB expanded Tregs exerted a comparable and potent suppressive function of MLR and presented a high in vitro IL-10 production capacity. Gene profile analysis also revealed for PB Tregs a significant enrichments of genes involved in the adaptive immune response.
