View SamplesInterference with chemoresistance to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapeutics may be of great utility for cancer therapy. We have identified KINK-1 (Kinase Inhibitor of NF-kappaB-1), a highly selective small-molecule IKKkappa inhibitor, as a potent suppressor of both constitutive and induced NF-kappaB activity in melanoma cells. While KINK-1 profoundly diminished various NF-kappaB-dependent gene products regulating proliferation, cytokine production or anti-apoptotic responses, the compound by itself showed little antiproliferative or pro-apoptotic activity on the cellular level. However, its combination with some cytostatics markedly enhanced their antitumoral activities in vitro, and doxorubicin-induced NF-kappaB activation, a mechanism implicated in chemoresistance, was abrogated by KINK-1. In addition, when KINK-1 was combined with doxorubicin in an in vivo melanoma model, experimental metastasis was significantly diminished as compared to either treatment alone. Induction of chemoresistance by KINK-1 in vivo was not observed. Thus, KINK-1 or related substances might increase the susceptibility of tumors to chemotherapy.

View SamplesThe protease activity of the paracaspase MALT1 plays an important role in antigen receptor-mediated lymphocyte activation by controlling the activity of the transcription factor NF-kB and is thus essential for the expression of inflammatory target genes.

View SamplesDiffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) represents the most common form of lymphoma. We could show that in DLBCL cell lines the transcription factor NFAT is constitutively activated and drives the survival of a DLBCL subset. Aim of the analysis was to identify NFAT target genes in a NFAT-dependent (HBL-1) or -independent (HT) DLBCL cell line. To block NFAT activity, the DLBCL cells were treated with the calcineurin inhibitor cyclosporin A (CsA) up to 48 h. With this approach, we identified several survival-related NFAT target genes in HBL-1 cells that might explain the toxic effects of calcineurin inhibitors.

View SamplesIn this study we investigated the effect of normal chow (0 % cholesterol) or a semisynthetic diet (high sugar, 0.02 % cholesterol) fed to mice lacking either Mc4r, Ldlr or both and wildtype animals (total of 4 genotypes) by generating an expression profile of their livers after 6 months by RNA sequencing. Overall design: We investigated mice lacking either Mc4r, Ldlr or both and wildtype animals fed with normal chow or a semisynthetic diet with 10 replicates for each of the 8 resulting groups (4 genotypes * 2 diets).

View SamplesMucolipidosis type II (MLII) is a severe inherited multisystemic disorder caused by mutations in the GNPTAB gene. Skeletal abnormalities are a predominant feature of MLII. Here we investigate the gene expression in a knock-in mouse model for mucolipidosis type II, generated by the insertion of a cytosine in the murine Gnptab gene (c.3082insC) that is homologous to a homozygous mutation in an MLII patient.
Decreased bone formation and increased osteoclastogenesis cause bone loss in mucolipidosis II.

View SamplesDuring development, thymocytes bearing a moderately self-reactive T cell receptor (TCR) can be selected to become regulatory T (Treg) cells. Several observations suggest that also in the periphery mature Treg cells continuously receive self-reactive TCR signals. However, the importance of this inherent autoreactivity for Treg cell biology remains poorly defined.
Continuous T cell receptor signals maintain a functional regulatory T cell pool.
