Description
Since the first description of the involvement of Notch signaling in homeostasis especially of T cells, there is great effort in research to find new target genes of Notch that are involved in T cell development in the thymus. We developed a stroma cell free system that is able to induce T cell development in vitro called the plastic thymus. Having this new tool we decided to use the gene expression technique to get an expanded and more global picture of the changes in gene expression in T cell progenitor induced by Notch signaling via DLL4-Fc.

Description
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a heterogeneous disease, and despite considerable research efforts, no molecular classification of HCC has been introduced in clinical practice. The existing molecular classification systems were established using resected tumors, which introduces a selection bias towards patients without liver cirrhosis and with early stage HCCs. So far, these classification systems have not been validated in liver biopsy specimens from tumors diagnosed at intermediate and late stages. We generated and analyzed expression profiles from 60 HCC biopsies from an unselected patient population with all tumor stages. Unbiased clustering identified 3 HCC classes. Class membership correlated with survival, tumor size, and with Edmondson and BCLC stage. Most biopsy specimens could be assigned to the classes of published classification systems, demonstrating that gene expression profiles obtained from patients with early stage disease are preserved in all stages of HCC. When a reference set of healthy liver samples was integrated in the analysis, we observed that the differentially regulated genes up- or down-regulated in a given class relative to other classes were actually dysregulated in the same direction in all HCCs, with quantitative rather than qualitative differences between the molecular subclasses. With the exception of a subset of samples with a definitive -catenin gene signature, biological pathway analysis could not identify class specific pathways reflecting the activation of distinct oncogenic programs. Our results suggest that gene expression profiling of HCC biopsies has limited potential to direct therapies that target specific driver pathways, but can identify subgroups of patients with different prognosis.

Description
All patients with suspected ovarian cancer (Raised CA 125 and a complex pelvic mass in a perimenopausal woman) were radiologically staged using CT scan and a chest x-ray. Patients with evidence of intra-abdominal metastasis and/or malignant pleural effusion were approached for entry to the study. Tissue biopsy was obtained either under radiological control (core needle biopsy) or via laparoscopic surgery (punch biopsy). Patients with histologicaly confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer were randomized to receive either three cycles of carboplatin (AUC 7) or paclitaxel (175 mg/m2).

Description
Pegylated interferon- (pegIFN-) has replaced un-modified recombinant IFN- for the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis because of its superior anti-viral efficacy that is generally attributed to improved pharmacokinetic properties. However, the pharmacodynamic effects of pegIFN- in the liver have not been studied. We analyzed pegIFN- induced signaling and gene regulation in paired liver biopsies obtained before treatment and during the first week after injection of pegIFN- in 18 patients. Despite sustained high serum concentrations of pegIFN- over the entire one-week dosing interval, IFN- signaling through the Jak-STAT pathway occurs only during the first day. PegIFN- induces hundreds of genes that can be classified into 4 clusters based on different temporal expression profiles. In all clusters, gene transcription is mainly driven by IFN stimulated gene factor 3 (ISGF3). IFN induced secondary transcription factors do not cause additional waves of gene expression. We could not confirm a role of un-phosphorylated STAT1 in prolonging IFN- induced gene transcription. Collectively, our results reveal that the major effects of pegIFN- in the liver are caused by an early and transient activation of ISGF3. Prolonging the serum half-life of IFN- does not necessarily improve its pharmacodynamic properties.

Description
Despite the approval of several anti-angiogenic therapies, clinical results remain unsatisfactory, and transient benefits are followed by rapid tumor recurrence. In the present study, we aimed to identify resistance mechanisms to the small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor nintedanib in the Py2T murine breast cancer transplantation model. To identify differences in gene expression between short- and long-term nintedanib and untreaded FAC-sorted tumor and endothelial cells, we performed gene expression profiling by using affymetrix microarrays.

Description
In the present study we have studied the mechanistic and functional aspects of NCoR1 function in mouse skeletal muscle. NCoR1 muscle-specific knockout mice exhibited an increased oxidative metabolism. Global gene expression analysis revealed a high overlap between the effects of NCoR1 deletion and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) overexpression on oxidative metabolism in skeletal muscle. The repressive effect of NCoR1 on oxidative phosphorylation gene expression specifically antagonizes PGC-1alpha-mediated coactivation of ERRalpha. We therefore delineated the molecular mechanism by which a transcriptional network controlled by corepressor and coactivator proteins determines the metabolic properties of skeletal muscle, thus representing a potential therapeutic target for metabolic diseases.
