Description
In addition to KIT and PDGFRA mutations, sequential accumulation of other genetic events is involved in the development and progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Until recently, the significance of these other alterations has not been thoroughly investigated. The combination of gene expression profiling and high-resolution genomic copy number analysis offers a detailed molecular portrait of GISTs, providing an essential comprehensive knowledge necessary to guide the discovery of novel target genes involved in tumor development and progression.

Description
At present, medical treatments of synchronous and metachronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer are not differentiated. The aim of the study was to analyze the gene expression profiling of synchronous and metachronous lesions in order to identify molecular signatures as possible basis for choice of systemic therapies. Fresh tissues specimens from metastases of 18 patients undergone liver surgery were collected (10 synchronous and 8 metachronous lesions). Gene expression profiling was studied using Affymetrix platform. Two different profiles were identified. Pathway related to the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFr) was upregulated in metachronous lesions whereas pathways mainly related to inflammation in synchronous lesions. Real Time-PCR, Western Blotting and ELISA confirmed that the metachronous lesions had the overexpression of EGFr, but the synchronous ones had the overexpression of Cyclo-oxygenase 2 (COX-2). These results suggest that synchronous or metachronous liver metastases from colorectal cancer could be differently treated on the basis of different molecular pathways.

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
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
White Striping and Wooden Breast (WS/WB) are abnormalities increasingly occurring in the fillets of high breast yield and growth rate chicken hybrids. These defects lead to consistent economic losses for poultry meat industry, as affected broilers fillets present an impaired visual appearance that negatively affects consumers acceptability. Previous studies have highlighted in affected fillets a deeply damaged muscle, showing profound inflammation, fibrosis and lipidosis. The present study investigated the differentially expressed genes and pathways linked to the compositional changes observed in WS/WB breast muscles, in order to outline a more complete framework of the gene networks related to the occurrence of this complex pathological picture. The biochemical composition was performed on 20 Pectoralis major samples obtained from high breast yield and growth rate broilers (10 affected vs. 10 normal) and 12 out of the 20 samples were used for the microarray gene expression profiling (6 affected vs. 6 normal). The obtained results indicate strong changes in muscle mineral composition, coupled to an increased deposition of fat. In addition, 204 differentially expressed genes (DEG) were found: 102 up-regulated and 102 down-regulated in affected breasts. The gene expression pathways found more altered in WS/WB muscles are those related to muscle development, polysaccharide metabolic processes, proteoglycans synthesis, inflammation and calcium signaling pathway. On the whole, the findings suggest that a multifactorial and complex etiology is associated with the occurrence of WS/WB muscle abnormalities, contributing to further define the transcription patterns associated to these myopathies.

Description
Peripheral T-cell lymphoma unspecified (PTCL/U), the most common form of PTCL, displays heterogeneous morphology and phenotype, poor response to treatment, and dismal prognosis. We demonstrate that PTCL/U shows a gene expression profile clearly distinct from that of normal T-cells. Comparison with the profiles of purified T-cell subpopulations [CD4+, CD8+, resting (HLA-DR-), and activated (HLA-DR+)] reveals that PTCLs/U are most closely related to activated peripheral T-lymphocytes, either CD4+ or CD8+. Interestingly, the global gene expression profile cannot be surrogated by routine CD4/CD8 immunohistochemistry. When compared with normal T-cells, PTCLs/U display deregulation of functional programs often involved in tumorigenesis (e.g. apoptosis, proliferation, cell adhesion, and matrix remodeling). Products of deregulated genes can be detected in PTCLs/U by immunohistochemistry with an ectopic, paraphysiologic or stromal location. Among others, PTCLs/U aberrantly express PDGFRA, a tyrosine-kinase receptor, whose deregulation is often related to a malignant phenotype. Notably, both phosphorylation of PDGFRA and sensitivity of cultured PTCL cells to imatinib (as well as to an inhibitor of histone-deacetylase) are found. These results, which might be extended to other rarer PTCL categories, are provided with implications for tumor pathogenesis and clinical management.
