Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array (mogene10st)
Description
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a disorder of mature B cells. Most patients are characterized by indolent disease and an anergic phenotype of their leukemia cells which refers to a state of unresponsiveness to B cell receptor stimulation. Using the E-TCL1 mouse model, we show that B cell-specific ablation of NFAT2 leads to the loss of the anergic phenotype culminating in a significantly compromised life expectancy and histological transformation to aggressive disease. We further define a gene expression signature of anergic CLL cells consisting of several NFAT2-dependant genes employing microarray technology.
Publication Title
NFAT2 is a critical regulator of the anergic phenotype in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia.

Description
We have performed whole genome expression arrays covering over 47000 transcripts comparing the transcriptional profile of NKp80+ to NKp80- CD8+ CCR7- alpha beta T cells. A highly similar global gene expression profile was observed between both memory phenotype T cell subsets. Interestingly, the majority of differentially expressed genes are immune-associated. NKp80+ cells contained markedly increased levels of transcripts encoding for MHC class I and II molecules and for numerous members of the KIR family. Also other NK-related transcripts were more abundantly expressed in the NKp80+ subset. With regards to cytokines, chemokines and their receptors, transcripts important for homeostasis and proliferation are expressed differently. Also transcripts encoding for adhesion molecules are present at different levels in both T cell subsets. Further cytotoxic effector molecules are expressed differently.
Publication Title
NKp80 defines and stimulates a reactive subset of CD8 T cells.

Description
The activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC) plays a crucial role in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which could further develop to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and liver fibrosis/cirrhosis. Since cGMP-dependent protein kinase 1 (cGK1) deficient (cGK1-KO) mice displayed hepatic insulin resistance we hypothesized that cGK1 modulates HSC activation and its metabolic consequences. First, retinol storage and gene expression were studied in cGK1-KO mice. Second, we investigated the effects of cGK1-silencing on gene expression in the human stellate cell line LX2. Finally, cGK1 expression was investigated in human liver biopsies covering a wide range of liver fat content. Retinyl-ester level in the liver of cGK1-KO mice was lower compared to wild-type animals, which was associated with increased inflammatory gene expression. mRNA regulation in cGK1-silenced LX2 cells showed stronger stellate cell activation profile, altered matrix degradation and elevated chemokine level. On the other hand, activation of LX2 cells suppressed cGK1 expression, which was associated with human data, showing a negative correlation between cGK1 mRNA and liver fat content in liver biopsies. These results suggest that the lack of cGK1 could possibly lead to stellate cell activation, which elevates chemokine expression and inflammatory processes, which in turn disturbs hepatic insulin sensitivity.

Description
Consider the problem of designing a panel of complex biomarkers to predict a patient's health or disease state when one can pair his or her current test sample, called a target sample, with the patient's previously acquired healthy sample, called a reference sample. As contrasted to a population averaged reference, this reference sample is individualized. Automated predictor algorithms that compare and contrast the paired samples to each other could result in a new generation of test panels that compare to a person's healthy reference to enhance predictive accuracy. This study develops such an individualized predictor and illustrates the added value of including the healthy reference for design of predictive gene expression panels. The objective is to predict each subject's state of infection, e.g., neither exposed nor infected, exposed but not infected, pre-acute phase of infection, acute phase of infection, post-acute phase of infection. Using gene microarray data collected in a large-scale serially sampled respiratory virus challenge study, we quantify the diagnostic advantage of pairing a person's baseline reference with his or her target sample.
