Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Thalidomide-dexamethasone (TD) combination is an effective induction therapy for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients, candidates for subsequent autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Since maximization of tumor response before ASCT may favorably affect the clinical outcomes, we designed a study to identify a gene expression profile (GEP) signature predictive of attainment of complete response to TD induction therapy. CD138+ bone marrow samples obtained at diagnosis from 112/311 patients were analyzed. Two subsequent time phases were planned. Firstly, a GEP supervised analysis, performed on a training set of 32 patients, allowed to identify 157 probe sets differentially expressed in complete responder + near complete responder (CR+nCR) versus partial responder patients. Than, we generated an 8-gene GEP signature predicting at diagnosis the probability to achieve CR+nCR to TD induction therapy. The performance of this assay was subsequently validated in an 80 patients training set. The 8-gene signature provide a negative predictive value of 93% and a positive predictive value of 44%. The 8 genes were down-regulated in patients who achieved at least a nCR. These results could be an important first step to adopting a diagnostic assay, used to determine, at diagnosis, patients who will respond more favourably to a particular treatment strategy.

Description
The prime focus of the current therapeutic strategy for Multiple Myeloma (MM) is an early and deep tumour burden reduction; this characterizes and defines the complete response (CR). To date, no description of the characteristics of the plasma cells (PC) prone to achieve CR has been reported. This study aimed at the molecular characterization of PC derived from MM patients who achieved CR after bortezomib-thalidomide-dexamethasone (VTD) first line therapy.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Analysis of changes in gene expression levels after after prolonged exposure of triple-negative breast cancer cell lines to low doses of Panobinostat (LBH589), a pan-histone deacetylase inhibitor. Overall design: RNA-sequencing was performed after 96 hours and 4 weeks of incubation 10 nmol/L of LBH589 of two triple-negative breast cancer cell lines (HCC1806 and MDA-MB-231). All the expreiments were performed in biological triplicates

Description
The aim of this experiment was to investigate differential gene expression in splenocytes stimulated with BCG from nave and BCG vaccinated mice. The differences between nave and BCG vaccinated mice might indicate the mechanisms by which BCG vaccination confers an enhanced ability of splenocytes from BCG vaccinated mice to inhibit growth of BCG in splenocyte cultures as compared with splenocytes from naive animals.

Description
We studied the changes that occur in gene transcription during seasonal senescence in Populus trichocarpa pioneer leaves and fine roots. Plant senescence is a strictly regulated physiological process that allows relocating of valuable nutrients from senescent tissues before death. It might be induced by internal or external factors and among them, phytohormones play an undoubtedly significant role. Senescence was extensively studied in leaves, but the aging of other ephemeral organs, located underground, and its drivers are still poorly understood. We focused on collective results to fill in the knowledge gap about senescence of fine, absorptive roots and leaves in order to check if there are universal mechanisms involved during plant organ senescence. Transcriptional profiling was conducted with the use of microarrays to identify genes involved in developmental PCD. Samples were collected three times during a growth season. The first collection was considered as a control and was collected in early summer (July 7–15) when leaves and the root system were fully developed and functional. The second group of leaf and root samples were harvested in early autumn (October 1–7) when chlorophyll levels in leaves had decreased by approximately 40% and when fine roots had changed in color from white to brown. The third group of samples were harvested in the middle of autumn (November 2–9) when chlorophyll levels in leaves decreased by approximately 65% and fine roots were dark brown or black color. Our results reveal the important role of phytohormones in regulating the senescence of both studied organs. The transcriptomic analyses showed significant changes in gene expression that are associated with phytohormones, especially with ABA and jasmonates. We conclude that phytohormonal regulation of senescence in roots and leaves is organ-specific. In roots, phytohormones are involved indirectly in regulation of senescence by increasing tolerance for cold or resistance for pathogens, whereas such correlation was not observed in leaves.

Transient expression of two factors, or from Oct4 alone, resulted in efficient generation of human iPSCs. The reprogramming strategy described revealed a potential transcriptional signature for human iPSCs yet retaining the gene expression of donor cells in human reprogrammed cells free of viral and transgene interference.

Description
Human medulloblastoma (MB) can be segregated into four major categories based on gene expression patterns: Hedgehog (HH) subtype, Wnt subtype, Group 3, and Group 4. However, they all exhibit strikingly different gene expression profiles from Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor (AT/RT). We re-analyzed published gene expression microarray dataset of pediatric brain tumors to identify a gene expression profile that clearly distinguished human AT/RT from human MB. We used this profile, choosing only genes that have clear murine orthologs, to compare tumors from Snf5F/Fp53L/LGFAP-Cre mice (in C57Bl/6 strain background) with MB from Ptc1+/- mice (in mixed C57Bl/6 and 129Sv strain background). Snf5F/Fp53L/LGFAP-Cre tumors are clearly very different from mouse MB and the markers that distinguish human AT/RT from human MB also distinguish the mouse tumors.
