CD20 is a clinically validated target for Non-Hodgkins lymphomas and autoimmune diseases. Interactions of CD20 with the B cell receptor (BCR) and components of the BCR signaling cascade have been reported. In this study we show that antibodies against CD20 or activation of the BCR by specific antibodies induce very similar expression patterns of up- or down-regulated genes in NHL cell lines indicating that CD20 may play a role in BCR signaling and vice versa.
Antibodies against CD20 or B-cell receptor induce similar transcription patterns in human lymphoma cell lines.

View SamplesWe investigated the differential regulation patterns of type I anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) rituximab and type II obinutuzumab on a transcriptional level. Using a panel of MCL cell lines, we determined the effects of obinutuzumab and rituximab as monotherapies as well as in combination on cell viability and proliferation.

View SamplesWe have generated tumorigenic (S2N) and non-tumorigenic (S2), normal-like to basal-like breast cancer cell lines from primary tumors. At high in vivo inoculation cell numbers of 10^6 cells/mouse both S2N and S2 monolayer as well as sphere culture cells grew at similar rates. However, at low inoculation cell numbers down to 10^3 cells only S2N sphere cells generated xenograft tumors. mRNA profiling revealed a unique cluster pattern of the tumorigenic S2N sphere cells, but a detailed analysis of TIC relevant transcription factors like Oct3, Sox and Nanog family members, Myc, Slug or Twist1 revealed no consistently increased expression in the highly tumorigenic cell lines. Our data indicate that the intrinsic genetic and functional markers investigated are not solely indicative of the in vivo tumorigenicity of putative breast tumor-initiating cells.
Established breast cancer stem cell markers do not correlate with in vivo tumorigenicity of tumor-initiating cells.

Preclinical biomarkers for a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor translate to candidate pharmacodynamic biomarkers in phase I patients.
Specimen part, Cell line
View SamplesA genomics-based approach to identify pharmacodynamic biomarkers was used for a CDK (cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitory drug. R547 is a potent CDK inhibitor with a potent anti-proliferative effect at pharmacologically relevant doses, and is currently in Phase I clinical trials. Utilizing preclinical data derived from microarray experiments, we identified pharmacodynamic biomarkers to test in blood samples from patients in clinical trials. These candidate biomarkers were chosen based on several criteria: relevance to the mechanism of action of R547, dose responsiveness in preclinical models, and measurable expression in blood samples. We identified 26 potential biomarkers of R547 action and tested their clinical validity in patient blood samples by quantitative real-time PCR analysis.
