Sotos 综合征患儿临床特征及基因变异分析郑洪雪1, 陈 瑶2, 殷丽萍1, 李 辛2, 丁 宇2, 李 娟2, 王秀敏2(1.常州市第一人民医院 苏州大学附属第三医院,江苏 常州 213000;2.上海交通大学医学院附属上海儿童医学中心内分泌代谢科,上海 200127)摘要:目的 分析1例误诊为性早熟的Sotos 综合征患儿的临床特征及基因变异特点。
方法 回顾性分析1例误诊为性早熟的Sotos 综合征患儿的临床资料及相关实验室检查结果。
结果 患儿临床表现为生长过快、发育落后、特殊面容(大头颅、前额突出、下颌窄、高腭弓)。
外院误诊为性早熟,给予醋酸曲普瑞林治疗15个月,生长速度未见减缓。
基因测序显示患儿核受体结合SET 域蛋白1(NSD 1)基因(NM_022455.4)存在“错义变异c.5854C>T (p.Arg1952Trp )(杂合)”,其父亲携带该位点变异(杂合)。
按照美国医学遗传学和基因组学学会(ACMG )变异分类标准,归类为“可能致病性变异”。
结论 该患儿确诊为Sotos 综合征,NSD 1基因突变是其致病原因。
Sotos 综合征以身高增长过快为主要表现,伴随骨龄显著提前,不能仅靠性激素激发试验结果与性早熟鉴别,临床应严格评估第二性征发育,避免误诊。

Methods The clinical data and related laboratory test results from one child with Sotos syndrome misdiagnosed as precocious puberty were retrospectively analyzed . Results Clinical manifestations of the child presented overgrowth ,developmental delay ,and typical facial appearance (macrocephaly ,broad forehead ,pointed chin ,high palate ). The patient was misdiagnosed as precocious puberty in other hospital and treated with triptorelin acetate for 15 months ,but growth rate has not slowed down. Heterozygous missense variants in nuclear receptor-binding SET-domain-containing protein 1(NSD 1)gene was identified in proband by gene sequencing ,which was c.5854C>T (p.Arg1952Trp ). His father had the same heterozygous mutation. This mutation had been classified to likely pathogenic mutation by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG ) variation classification criteria. Conclusion The diagnosis of Sotos syndrome is confirmed in this child and NSD 1 gene mutation is the cause. Sotos syndrome is characterized by overgrowth and bone age advanced. The results of the provocation test cannot be distinguished from precocious puberty alone. The clinical development of secondary sexual characteristics should be strictly evaluated to avoid misdiagnosis.Key words :Nuclear receptor-binding SET-domain-containing protein 1;Sotos syndrome ;Gene mutation ;Misdiagnosis ;Precocious puberty文章编号:1673-8640(2021)02-0130-05 中图分类号:R446.1 文献标志码:A DOI :10.3969/j.issn.1673-8640.2021.02.003Sotos 综合征是一种常染色体显性遗传的过度生长性疾病,人群发病率约为1∶14 000[1],其诊断标准为特殊面容(额头突起、眼裂下斜、眼距过宽、下颌尖长、高腭弓、 双颞部毛发退化等)、过度生长(头围增大、身高增高,且大于正常同龄儿童的第97百分位数)、骨龄超前、发育迟缓(语言和学习障碍、短期记忆和抽象思维能力缺陷,可伴有不同程度的智力低下等);此外,还可有早期喂养困难、黄疸、肌张力低下、动作笨拙、协调性差及癫痫等非特异性表现[2]。

METHODS: Selfdesigned heminested PCR was used to detect bcl2/IgH gene rearrangement in 60 cases of DLBCL. Positive PCR products were cloned and sequenced. The tissue microarray of 60 specimens of DLBCL was prepared and the expressions of CD20, CD10, Bcl6 and MUM1 were investigated by immunohistochemical SP method. GCB and nongerminal center Bcelllike (nonGCB) were subclassified. RESULTS: Six of the 60 DLBCL were bcl2/IgH positive by conventional PCR method. Selfdesigned heminested PCR was used to amplify 6 positive cases again and bcl2/IgH gene was verified rearrangement in 5 cases by cloning and sequencing and 1 had the gene segment of BAC331191 of human chromosome 19. CD20 waspositive in the 60 DLBCL cases. Positive expression rates of CD10, Bcl6 and MUM1 were %, % and % respectively. 32 %) were GCB and 28 %) were nonGCB. Bcl2/IgH gene rearrangementpositive cases were all GCB subtypes, which were significantly correlated with the expression of CD10 (P= and not with Bcl6 and MUM1. CONCLUSION: Selfdesigned heminested PCR can improve the detection accuracy of bcl2/IgH gene rearrangement. Bcl2/IgH gene rearrangement detection helps the DLBCL determination of GCB subtypes.【Keywords】 lymphoma, Bcell, diffuse large;bcl2; gene rearrangement【摘要】目的: 探讨弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)bcl2/IgH 基因重排与分子亚型生发中心样(GCB)的相关性. 方式:采纳自行设计的半巢式PCR对60例DLBCL的bcl2/IgH基因重排进行了检测,并对阳性产物进行克隆、测序. 同时采纳免疫组化SP法在组织微阵列上同步观测CD20,CD10,Bcl6,黑色素瘤相关抗原(突变体)1 (MUM1)的表达,进行GCB和非生发中心样(nonGCB)分子分类. 结果: 常常规法扩增bcl2/IgH,有6/60例DLBCL bcl2/IgH阳性;在6例阳性样本中,采纳本组设计的半巢式PCR扩增,经克隆及测序证明5例bcl2/IgH 基因重排阳性,1例为人类第19号染色体BAC 331191基因的片段. 60例DLBCL CD20表达全数阳性;CD10,Bcl6, MUM1的阳性表达率别离为%,%,%;GCB 32(%)例,nonGCB 28(%)例. bcl2/IgH基因重排阳性的病例均属GCB分子亚型, 且与CD10表达有显著性相关(P=),而与Bcl6及MUM1表达无相关性. 结论:利用本组设计的半巢式PCR 可提高bcl2/IgH基因重排检测的准确性. bcl2/IgH基因重排的检测可协助确信部份GCB分子亚型的DLBCL.【关键词】弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤; bcl2; 基因重排0引言弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(diffuse large Bcell lymphoma, DLBCL)是最多见、高度恶性的非霍奇金淋巴瘤,但新近cDNA芯片的研究结果显示,该瘤存在生发中心样(germinal center Bcelllike,GCB)和非生发中心样(non germinal center Bcelllike, nonGCB)两种分子亚型,GCB的预后明显好于nonGCB类型[1-2]. Hans等[3]以cDNA 芯片为参照标准,发觉利用“套餐”式免疫标记物CD10,Bcl6,黑色素瘤相关抗原(突变体)1 [melanoma associated antigen(mutated)1, MUM1]也能够对DLBCL进行分子分类. bcl2/IgH基因重排是人类恶性淋巴瘤最多见的染色体异样,存在bcl2基因重排的病例有较好的生存率. 咱们利用组织微阵列(tissue microarray, TMA)技术对60例DLBCL进行分子分类, 采纳PCR技术检测bcl2/IgH基因重排,探讨bcl2/IgH基因重排与分子亚型的相关性,旨在为临床判定DLBCL的预后提供更多的信息.1材料和方式1.1材料1999/2003年诊断明确资料齐全的DLBCL 60(男29,女31)例,中位年龄(16~91)岁,所有标本均为40 g/L中性甲醛固定, 常规石蜡切片HE染色. 由3名专门从事淋巴瘤研究的医师按新的WHO分类方式进行诊断.

PCR阳性产物经TA克隆连于T载体,送上海博亚公司进行测序. 测序采纳3730测序仪,DNA测序技术要紧依据Sanger双脱氧链终止法. 测序结果在基因库中进行比对,以明确是不是为 bcl2/IgH 基因重排片段.制作第一对60例DLBCL蜡块组织的苏木精-伊红染色切片作形态学观看,选择有代表性的肿瘤区域,在相应位置进行标记;然后利用组织微阵列仪(Beecher Instruments, MTA1)制作受体蜡块并打孔,依照原有切片的标记部位,用供体针在蜡块相应部位取样,所用组织芯直径为 mm,将供体组织芯放入受体蜡块. 每例标本在标记区域内随机取2~4条组织芯. 在组织样本填入蜡孔时记录每一个样本在二维阵列中的具体位置,并在必然位置上标记出TMA的方位.免疫组化染色采纳SP法进行免疫组化染色. 以CD20染色来判定每一个组织点的肿瘤细胞数,每例标本以肿瘤细胞数最多的点作分析. 抗体的阳性判定标准为:CD20,CD10阳性定位于细胞膜,Bcl6,MUM1阳性定位于细胞核, >20%的肿瘤细胞染色判为阳性[3]. 采纳CD10, Bcl6和MUM1 3种抗体对DLBCL进行分类[3]. CD10, Bcl6作为生发中心细胞的标志物,CD10+或CD10+/Bcl6+为GCB类;CD10-/Bcl6-为nonGCB类;MUM1作为后生发中心细胞来源的标志物,假设CD10-/Bcl6+,那么用MUM1来分类:MUM1+为nonGCB类,MUM1-为GCB类.统计学处置: 利用SPSS 软件,对数据进行Fisher精准查验. 2结果2.1组织学分型依照WHO新分类方式对DLBCL进行分型,中心母细胞型(centroblastic,CB) 53例%),免疫母细胞型(immunoblastic,IB)3例%),间变性大B细胞型(anaplastic,AP) 2例%),未分型2例%).2.2蛋白表达60例DLBCL患者的组织切片CD20表达全数阳性. CD10, Bcl6, MUM1的阳性表达率别离为%, %, %,其中CD10+ Bcl6+ 14例, CD10+/MUM1+ 13例,Bcl6+/MUM1+ 16例,CD10+/Bcl6+/MUM1+ 8例(图1). 经统计学分析,年龄性别等因素与CD20, CD10, Bcl6表达无关(表1).2.3DLBCL TMA分子分类60例DLBCL中, 32例(%)GCB,28例(%)nonGCB. 在32例GCB类中, 26例(%)CD10+,18例(%)Bcl6+,14例(%) CD10+/Bcl6+, 6例%) CD10-/Bcl6+. 在28例nonGCB类中,24例(%)MUM1+,8例(%) MUM1+/Bcl6+.A:细胞膜CD20+ ×100; B:细胞核Bcl6+ ×100; C: 细胞膜CD10+ ×200; D: 细胞核MUM1+ ×100.图1弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤免疫组化染色SP2.4基因重排检测因bcl2/IgH基因断裂在不同病例略有不同,因此扩增出的片段为100~300 bp(图2). 经一步法扩增,发觉6例阳性,对阳性样本进行半巢式PCR扩增时发觉5例基因重排阳性,考虑一步法扩增有假阳性,经克隆及测序证明为人类第19号染色体BAC331191基因的片段,其序列为: TTAGAGAGTTGCTTTACGTGGCCTGCCTCTCTCACCTCCCAGGTGAACGGTGTGGACATGAAGCTGCCCGTGGTGCTGGCCAACGGCCAGATCCGTGCCTCCCAGCATGGTTCAGATGTTGTGATTGAGACCGACTTCGGCCTGCGTGTGGCCTACGACCTTGTGTACTATGTGCGGGTCACCGTCTCCTCAGGT, 因此bcl2/IgH基因重排为5例. 基因重排阳性的5例病例均为GCB亚类. CD10阳性及阴性病例bcl2/IgH基因重排的发生率别离为%(5/26)及0%(0/34),有统计学不同(P=)(表1).表1弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤免疫组化与临床资料及bcl2/IgH基因重排关系(略)图2PCR检测bcl2/IgH重排3讨论本组60例DLBCL,CD10的阳性率高于西方Hans等[3]的28%和Colomo等[4]的21%, 可能与本组选用的病例多为CB变型的B细胞淋巴瘤有关. CD10诊断GCB的灵敏性较低,经CD10和Bcl6联合应用,在GCB类中发觉了6例CD10阴性、Bcl6阳性,说明联合应用CD10及Bcl6可提高GCB亚类的检出率. 本组检测MUM1阳性率与文献报导(50%~77%)相近[5-6]. 咱们利用传统引物进行bcl2/IgH基因重排检测发觉的阳性样本,采纳本组设计的半巢式PCR扩增及克隆、测序证明有1例为人类第19号染色体BAC 331191基因的片段,该片段的上下游别离有9个碱基能与传统引物互补配对,因此进行PCR时可能将其扩增出来,而非真正的基因重排. 这可能是传统引物检测重排发生假阳性的分子生物学基础. 结果显示采纳咱们所设计的半巢式PCR 引物检测bcl2/IgH基因重排可有效的幸免假阳性的发生. 在咱们的研究中,所有存在bcl2基因重排的病例均表达CD10,统计学资料说明二者存在相关性,因此通过对bcl2基因重排的检测可确信部份GCB 类的DLBCL. 这部份DLBCL与其它类型的DLBCL相较可能有不同的发病机制,属不同的疾病亚型[7-8]. 正确的检测方式对这种疾病的正确诊断有着重要意义,咱们利用的半巢式PCR提高了诊断重排的准确性.本研究在进行免疫组化进程中,咱们采纳了TMA技术,由于所有标本均在一张切片上进行免疫组化染色,人为误差少,一致性更强,有助于在同一水平进行观看分析和比较研究,因此本研究的免疫组织化学染色结果是靠得住的.【参考文献】[1] Rosenwald A, Wright G, Chan WC, et al.

三种常用的缺失值填充方法作者:刘爱鹏来源:《硅谷》2011年第23期摘要:介绍在遇到蛋白质数据链在同源建模中缺失数据需要填充的时候所使用的常用方法,其中包括线性的KNN、SKNN方法和非线性的SVD方法,以及他们相比较起来的优缺点。
关键词:缺失值;KNN;SKNN;SVD中图分类号:TP311.13 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1671-7597(2011)1210188-01在生物学发展中对蛋白质的研究越来越多,各种针对蛋白质的同源建模的结构数据的实验研究也越来越多,可是在我们使用同源建模的方法的时候,由于蛋白质演化或变异的时候将会出现缺失值的情况。
例如经过PCA处理降维处理过的蛋白质链可以分为严格保守部分和非保守部分,严格保守部分基本不缺值,大概占60%左右,而非保守部分则会含有缺失值,当我们填补缺失值后将能够把可以利用的蛋白质数据链的百分比提高到80%左右,所以缺失值的填充问题很重要。
针对生物数据缺失值的填充问题的处理上要与一般的统计方法处理数据的形式不同,需要利用数据之间的关系来准确的,合理的填充缺失值。
近年来,在处理这个问题上出现了一些填充缺失值比较准确地方法,如K个最近邻的缺失值填充法(KNN)、有序的K个最近邻填充法(SKNN)和奇异值分解法(SVD)。
在这里,我分别的简单介绍下这三种方法。
1 KNN算法基于K个最近邻的缺失值填充算法其实是在考虑了生物蛋白质表达数据之间的相关性,因而预测结果较为准确。
通过选定需要多少个最近邻的蛋白质数据链,根据这些个近邻蛋白质链提供的信息,对缺失数据的目标蛋白质链的缺失值进行预测和估计。
首先我们要计算目标蛋白质链(也就是包含有缺失值的链)与其他链之间的欧式距离,然后在所有计算出来的距离中找到距离目标蛋白质链距离最小的K个最近邻的蛋白质链,然后对选择出的K个最近邻蛋白质链赋予相应的权值,其相应位置(即目标链的缺失值位置)的加权平均值即为目标蛋白质缺失值的估计值。

单细胞转录组鉴定炎症细胞因子英文回答:Single-cell transcriptomics has revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity and has provided valuable insights into various biological processes, including inflammation. In order to identify inflammatory cytokines at the single-cell level, a combination of experimental and computational approaches can be employed.Experimental approaches involve isolating and sequencing the transcriptomes of individual cells. This can be done using methods such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), which allows for the measurement of gene expression in individual cells. By profiling the transcriptomes of cells before and after exposure to an inflammatory stimulus, differentially expressed genes can be identified. These genes are likely to be involved in the production of inflammatory cytokines.Once the differentially expressed genes are identified, computational methods can be used to further analyze the data and identify the specific inflammatory cytokines produced by different cell types. This can involve clustering analysis to group cells with similar gene expression patterns, as well as gene set enrichment analysis to identify enriched pathways or functions. By comparing the gene expression profiles of different cell clusters, it is possible to infer the cytokines produced by each cluster.For example, let's say we are interested in identifying the inflammatory cytokines produced by macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Weisolate and sequence the transcriptomes of individual macrophages before and after LPS treatment. We identify a set of differentially expressed genes that are upregulated in response to LPS. Using computational methods, we cluster the macrophages based on their gene expression profiles and perform gene set enrichment analysis. We find that acluster of macrophages highly expresses genes associated with the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such astumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β). This suggests that t hese macrophages are likelyto be responsible for the production of these cytokines in response to LPS stimulation.中文回答:单细胞转录组学已经彻底改变了我们对细胞异质性的理解,并为各种生物学过程提供了宝贵的见解,包括炎症反应。

All patients had stage I or II breastcancer and were younger than 53 years old; 151 hadlymph-node–negative disease, and 144 had lymph-node–positive disease. We evaluated the predictivepower of the prognosis profile using univariable andmultivariable statistical analyses.Results Among the 295 patients, 180 had a poor-prognosis signature and 115 had a good-prognosis sig-nature, and the mean (±SE) overall 10-year survivalrates were 54.6±4.4 percent and 94.5±2.6 percent, re-spectively. At 10 years, the probability of remainingfree of distant metastases was 50.6±4.5 percent in thegroup with a poor-prognosis signature and 85.2±4.3percent in the group with a good-prognosis signature.The estimated hazard ratio for distant metastases inthe group with a poor-prognosis signature, as com-pared with the group with the good-prognosis signa-ture, was 5.1 (95 percent confidence interval, 2.9 to9.0; P<0.001). This ratio remained significant when thegroups were analyzed according to lymph-node sta-tus. Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed thatthe prognosis profile was a strong independent factor in predicting disease outcome.Conclusions The gene-expression profile we stud-ied is a more powerful predictor of the outcome of dis-ease in young patients with breast cancer than stand-ard systems based on clinical and histologic criteria.

A large number of other factors have been investigated for their potential to pre-dict the outcome of disease, but in general, they have only limited predictive power.5Using complementary DNA (cDNA) microarrays to analyze breast-cancer tissue, Perou et al. identified tumors with distinct patterns of gene expression that they termed “basal type” and “luminal type.”6 These subgroups differ with respect to the outcome of dis-ease in patients with locally advanced breast cancer.7 In addition, microarray analysis has been used to dis-tinguish cancers associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations8,9 and to determine estrogen-receptor sta-tus6,9,10 and lymph-node status.11,12Using inkjet-synthesized oligonucleotide microar-rays, we recently identified a gene-expression profile Athat is associated with prognosis in patients with breast cancer.9 We analyzed only tumors that were less than 5 cm in diameter from lymph-node–negative patients who were younger than 55 years of age. We found that a classification system based on 70 genes outperformed all clinical variables in predicting the likelihood of dis-tant metastases within five years. We estimated that the odds ratio for metastases among tumors with a gene signature associated with a poor prognosis, as com-pared with those having a signature associated with a good prognosis, was approximately 15 using a cross-validation procedure. Even though these results were encouraging, a limitation of the study was that the re-sults were derived from and evaluated in two groups of patients selected on the basis of outcome: distant metastases had developed in one group within five years, and the other group remained disease-free for at least five years. Therefore, to provide a more accurate estimate of the risks of metastases associated with the two gene-expression signatures and to substantiate that the gene-expression profile of breast cancer is a clin-ically meaningful tool, we studied a cohort of 295 young patients with breast cancer, some of whom were lymph-node–negative and some of whom were lymph-node–positive.METHODSSelection of PatientsT umors from a series of 295 consecutive women with breast can-cer were selected from the fresh-frozen–tissue bank of the Nether-lands Cancer Institute according to the following criteria: the tumor was primary invasive breast carcinoma that was less than 5 cm in di-ameter at pathological examination (pT1 or pT2); the apical axillary lymph nodes were tumor-negative, as determined by a biopsy of the infraclavicular lymph nodes; the age at diagnosis was 52 years or younger; the calendar year of diagnosis was between 1984 and 1995; and there was no previous history of cancer, except nonmelanoma skin cancer. All patients had been treated by modified radical mas-tectomy or breast-conserving surgery, including dissection of the axillary lymph nodes, followed by radiotherapy if indicated. Among the 295 patients, 151 had lymph-node–negative disease (results on pathological examination, pN0) and 144 had lymph-node–positive disease (pN+). T en of the 151 patients who had lymph-node–neg-ative disease and 120 of the 144 who had lymph-node–positive dis-ease had received adjuvant systemic therapy consisting of chemo-therapy (90 patients), hormonal therapy (20), or both (20). Sixty-one of the patients with lymph-node–negative disease were also part of the previous study used to establish the prognosis profile.9 All patients were assessed at least annually for a period of at least five years. Follow-up information was extracted from the medical registry of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. The median duration of follow-up was 7.8 years (range, 0.05 to 18.3) for the 207 patients without metastasis as the first event and 2.7 years (range, 0.3 to 14.0) for the 88 patients with metastasis as the first event. The me-dian follow-up among all 295 patients was 6.7 years (range, 0.05 to 18.3). There were no missing data. The study was approved by the medical-ethics committee of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Clinicopathological variables were determined as described pre-viously.9 The level of expression of estrogen receptors was estimated on the basis of the hybridization results on the microarray experi-ments, which is a reliable assay for estrogen-receptor status.9 On the basis of this assay, there were 69 estrogen-receptor–negative tumors (defined by an intensity ratio of less than ¡0.65 U on a logarithmic scale, corresponding to staining of less than 10 percent of nuclei on immunohistochemical analysis) and 226 estrogen-receptor–positive tumors in the cohort. The histologic grade was assessed according to the method described by Elston and Ellis13; vascular invasion was assessed as absent, minor (one to three vessels), or major (more than three vessels).Isolation of RNA and Microarray Expression ProfilingThe isolation of RNA, labeling of complementary RNA (cRNA), hybridization of labeled cRNA to 25,000-gene arrays, and assess-ment of expression ratios were all performed as previously de-scribed.9,14 In brief, tumor material was snap-frozen in liquid nitro-gen within one hour after surgery. Frozen sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin; only samples that had more than 50 percent tumor cells were selected. Thirty 30-µm sections were used for the isolation of RNA. T otal RNA was isolated with RNAzolB and dis-solved in RNase-free water. Then 25 µg of total RNA was treated with DNase with use of the Qiagen RNase-free DNase kit and RNeasy spin columns, the RNA was then dissolved in RNase-free water to a final concentration of 0.2 µg per microliter, and cRNA was generated by in vitro transcription with the use of T7 RNA polymerase and 5 µg of total RNA and labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 (Cy Dye, Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). Five micrograms of Cy-labeled cRNA from one breast-cancer tumor was mixed with the same amount of reverse-color Cy-labeled product from a pool that consisted of an equal amount of cRNA from each patient. Labeled cRNAs were fragmented to an average size of approxi-mately 50 to 100 nucleotides by heating the samples to 60°C in the presence of 10 mM zinc chloride and adding a hybridization buffer containing 1 M sodium chloride, 0.5 percent sodium sarcosine, 50 mM morpholino-ethane sulfonic acid (pH 6.5), and formamideFigure 1 (facing page). Pattern of Expression of Genes Used to Determine the Prognosis and Clinical Characteristics of 295 Patients with Breast Cancer.Panel A shows the pattern of expression of the 70 marker genes (also referred to as prognosis-classifier genes9) in a series of 295 consecutive patients with breast carcinomas. Each row represents the prognostic profile of the 70 marker genes for one tumor, and each column represents the relative level of expression of one gene. The tumors are numbered from 1 to 295 on the y axis, and the genes are numbered from 1 to 70 on the x axis. The genes in the horizontal direction are arrayed in the same order as in our previous study.9 Red indicates a high level of expression of messenger RNA (mRNA) in the tumor, as compared with the reference level of mRNA, and green indicates a low level of expression. The dotted line is the previously determined threshold between a good-prognosis signature and a poor-prognosis signature. Tumors are rank-ordered according to their correlation with the previously determined average profile in tumors from patients with a good prognosis. Panel B shows the time in years to distant metastases as a first event for those in whom this occurred, and the total duration of follow-up for all other patients. Panel C shows the lymph-node status (blue marks indicate lymph-node–positive disease, and white lymph-node–negative disease), the number of patients with distant metasta-ses as a first event (blue marks), and the number of patients who died (blue marks).GENE-EXPRESSION SIGNATURE AS A PREDICTOR OF SURVIVAL IN BREAST CANCER150200250100500¡0.500.5201030405060700510Reporter Genes ABCRatio (log scale)L y m p h -N o d e S t a t u sMetastasisTotal follow-upM e t a s t a s i sD e a t hYearsXxxxxxxxT u m o r s w i t h P o o r -P r o g n o s i s S i g n a t u r e T u m o r s w i t h G o o d -P r o g n o s i s S i g n a t u r e(final concentration, 30 percent at 40°C); the final volume was 3 ml. The microarrays included the 24,479 biologic oligonucleotides as well as 1281 control probes. After hybridization, the slides were washed and scanned with a confocal laser scanner (Agilent T echnol-ogies). Fluorescence intensities on scanned images were quantified, and the values were corrected for the background level and nor-malized.Validation StrategyWe wished to investigate the prognostic value of the gene-expres-sion profile in a consecutive series of patients with breast cancer. We included 61 of the 78 patients with lymph-node–negative disease who were involved in the previous study that determined the 70-gene prognosis profile.9 Leaving them out would have resulted in selection bias, since the previous study included a disproportionate-ly large number of patients in whom distant metastases developed within five years. We included these 61 patients in the study, but we used the “leave-one-out” cross-validated classification established in our previous study to predict the outcomes among these patients. In this approach, the classification of the left-out sample was based on its correlation with the mean levels of expression of the remain-ing samples from the patients with a good-prognosis signature, with the sample in question excluded from the gene-selection process.9 This approach minimizes to some extent the possibility of overesti-mating the value of the prognosis profile while it keeps the con-secutive series complete. We also provide validation results taking only the new samples into account.Correlation of the Microarray Data with the Prognosis ProfileFor each of the 234 tumors from patients who were not included in the previous study, we calculated the correlation coefficient of the level of expression of the 70 genes with the previously determined average profile of these genes in tumors from patients with a good prognosis (C1).9 A patient with a correlation coefficient of more than 0.4 (the threshold in the previous study of 78 tumors that re-sulted in a 10 percent rate of false negative results) was then assigned to the group with a good-prognosis signature, and all other patients were assigned to the group with a poor-prognosis signature. For the 61 patients with lymph-node–negative disease who were included in the previous study, we used a cutoff value of 0.55 (corresponding to the threshold that resulted in a 10 percent rate of false negative results in the cross-validated classification in our previous study).9 Study DesignStudy design, patient selection, RNA isolation from tumor ma-terial, histopathological analyses, clinical annotation, and clinical in-terpretation were carried out at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. RNA amplification and microarray hybridization were carried out at Rosetta Inpharmatics. Bioinformatic and statistical analyses were performed jointly by authors at both locations. All raw data were available to all the investigators.Statistical AnalysisIn the analysis of the probability that patients would remain free of distant metastases, we defined distant metastases as a first event to be a treatment failure; data on all other patients were censored on the date of the last follow-up visit, death from causes other than breast cancer, the recurrence of local or regional disease, or the development of a second primary cancer, including contralateral breast cancer. Data on patients were analyzed from the date of sur-gery to the time of the first event or the date on which data were censored, according to the method of Kaplan and Meier, and the curves were compared with use of the log-rank test. Values are expressed as means ±SE, calculated according to the method of Tsiatis.15We used proportional-hazards regression analysis16 to adjust the association between the correlation coefficient (C1) and metastases for other variables. All SEs were calculated with use of the sandwich estimator.17 The histologic grade, extent of vascular invasion, and number of axillary-lymph-node metastases (0 vs. 1 to 3 or 0 vs. »4) were used as variables. The linearity of the relation between the relative hazard ratio and the diameter of the tumor, age, and level of expression of estrogen receptors was tested with use of the Wald test for nonlinear components of restricted cubic splines.18 No evi-dence of nonlinearity was found (P=0.83 for age, P=0.75 for tumor diameter, P=0.65 for the number of positive nodes, and P=0.27 for the level of expression of estrogen receptors). We eval-uated whether the hazard ratio was proportional using the method of Grambsch and Therneau.19 In addition, we determined the dif-ference between the relative hazard ratio before and after five years of follow-up with respect to the prognosis signature using the Wald test. All calculations were performed with the S Plus 2000 or S Plus 6 statistical package.RESULTSCategorization of Gene-Expression SignaturesT otal RNA from each tumor was isolated and used to generate cRNA, which was labeled and hybridized to microarrays containing approximately 25,000 hu-T ABLE 1.

In this group, the hazard ratio for distant metastases was 4.5 (95 percent confidence interval, 2.0 to 10.2; P<0.001).Multivariable AnalysisTable 4 shows the results of the multivariable analy-sis of the risk of distant metastases as the first event. The only independent predictive factors were a poor-prognosis signature, a larger diameter of the tumor, and the nonuse of adjuvant chemotherapy. During the period in which these patients were treated, most pre-menopausal patients with lymph-node–positive dis-ease received adjuvant chemotherapy, whereas the ma-jority of patients with lymph-node–negative disease did not receive adjuvant treatment. Patients who re-ceived adjuvant chemotherapy in this series had a high-er likelihood of remaining free of distant metastases (hazard ratio for distant metastases, 0.37; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.20 to 0.66; P<0.001). The poor-prognosis signature was by far the strongest pre-dictor of the likelihood of distant metastases, with an overall hazard ratio of 4.6 (95 percent confidence in-terval, 2.3 to 9.2; P<0.001).DISCUSSIONWe previously identified a gene-expression profile of 70 genes that is associated with the risk of early dis-tant metastases in young patients with lymph-node–negative breast cancer.9 In the present study we tested this profile in a series of 295 consecutive patients who were treated at the hospital of the Netherlands Cancer Institute. The profile performed best as a predictor of the appearance of distant metastases during the first five years after treatment. This finding is not unexpect-ed, since the tumors on which the profile was based had all metastasized within five years. The prognosis profile is also a strong predictor of the development of distant metastases in patients with lymph-node–pos-itive disease. This finding is important, since the pres-ence of lymph-node metastases is by itself a strong predictor of poor survival. Since most patients with lymph-node–positive breast cancer in our study re-ceived adjuvant chemotherapy or hormonal therapy (120 of 144 patients), we could not evaluate the prog-nostic value of the profile in patients with untreated lymph-node–positive disease. There is, however, no indication of an effect of adjuvant chemotherapy on the prognostic value of the profile (data not shown). Figure 3 shows the Kaplan–Meier estimates of the probability that patients would remain free of distant metastases among the 151 patients with lymph-node–negative cancer, according to whether the patients were classified with the use of gene-expression pro-filing (Fig. 3A), the St. Gallen criteria3 (Fig. 3B), or the National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus criteria4 (Fig. 3C). The St. Gallen and NIH criteria classify patients as at low risk or high risk on the basis of various histologic and clinical characteristics. This comparison shows that the prognosis profile assigned many more patients with lymph-node–negative dis-ease to the low-risk (good-prognosis signature) group than did the traditional methods (40 percent, as com-pared with 15 percent according to the St. Gallen cri-teria and 7 percent according to the NIH criteria). Moreover, low-risk patients identified by gene-expres-sion profiling had a higher likelihood of metastasis-free survival than those classified according to the St. Gallen or NIH criteria, and high-risk patients iden-tified by gene-expression profiling tended to have a higher rate of distant metastases than did the high-risk patients identified by the St. Gallen or NIH criteria. This result indicates that both sets of the currently used criteria misclassify a clinically significant number of patients. Indeed, the high-risk group defined ac-cording to the NIH criteria included many patients who had a good-prognosis signature and a good out-come (Fig. 3E). Conversely, the low-risk group iden-tified by the NIH criteria included patients with a poor-prognosis signature and poor outcome (Fig. 3G). Similar subgroups were identified within the high-risk and low-risk groups identified according to the St. Gallen criteria (Fig. 3D and 3F, respectively). Since both the St. Gallen and the NIH subgroups contain misclassified patients (who can be better identified through the prognosis signature), these patients would be either overtreated or undertreated in current clin-ical practice.Our data indicate that the ability to metastasize to distant sites is an early and inherent genetic property of breast cancer. Our findings argue against the widely accepted idea that metastatic potential is acquired rel-atively late during multistep tumorigenesis.20 If the metastatic ability of breast cancer is determined early in tumorigenesis, early prognostic testing could be un-dertaken, an approach that would clearly be beneficial. On the other hand, an early onset of metastatic capa-bility theoretically limits the benefit of early detection and treatment. Furthermore, our findings suggest that the molecular mechanism leading to hematogenous (distant) metastases is distinct from the mechanism of lymphogenic (regional) spread of tumor cells. Our conclusion that the prognosis profile is independent of lymphogenic metastases is based on its strong pre-dictive power with respect to hematogenous metasta-ses, regardless of the presence or absence of lymph-node involvement.Our data indicate that classification of patients into high-risk and low-risk subgroups on the basis of the prognosis profile may be a useful means of guiding。

分子生物学论文范文Title: Application of Molecular Biology Techniques in Understanding the Mechanisms of Cellular Reprogramming Abstract:Cellular reprogramming refers to the conversion of one cell type into another, often achieved through the activation or silencing of specific genes. In recent years, molecular biology techniques have been extensively used to unravel the underlying mechanisms involved in cellular reprogramming. This article aims to provide an overview of the diverse molecular biology techniques employed in this field, including DNA sequencing,gene expression analysis, gene editing, and epigenetic profiling. Furthermore, it discusses the impact of these techniques on our understanding of cellular reprogramming and potentialapplications in regenerative medicine and disease modeling. By exploring these cutting-edge molecular biology techniques, wecan decode the intricate processes underlying cellular reprogramming and harness them for therapeutic purposes.1. IntroductionCellular reprogramming is a revolutionary technique that holds immense potential in regenerative medicine. It allows the conversion of differentiated cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which possess the ability to differentiate intoany cell type. Furthermore, cellular reprogramming provides valuable insights into the mechanisms governing cellularidentity and differentiation. In recent years, advances in molecular biology techniques have greatly contributed to our understanding of cellular reprogramming. This article highlights the key molecular biology techniques utilized in this field and their impact on the field of regenerative medicine.2. DNA Sequencing3. Gene Expression AnalysisGene expression analysis techniques, such as quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and RNA sequencing, have allowed researchers to examine the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously. This has provided valuable insights into the molecular events occurring during cellular reprogramming. By characterizing the gene expression profile of iPSCs, researchers have identifiedspecific gene networks and signaling pathways that drive the reprogramming process. Additionally, gene expression analysis has contributed to the identification of key genes responsible for maintaining cellular identity.4. Gene EditingGene editing techniques, such as the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 system, have revolutionized the field of molecular biology. They enabletargeted modification of specific genes, enabling researchers to investigate the functional significance of specific genes and genetic variants during cellular reprogramming. Gene editing has been utilized to introduce or eliminate specific transcription factors or epigenetic modifiers to enhance or inhibit reprogramming efficiency. Furthermore, it allows the correction of genetic mutations associated with certain diseases, paving the way for personalized medicine.5. Epigenetic ProfilingEpigenetic modifications play a crucial role in cellular reprogramming by regulating gene expression patterns. Techniques such as chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and DNA methylation profiling have been employed to map specific histone modifications and DNA methylation patterns during reprogramming. These techniques have provided insights into the dynamics of chromatin accessibility and epigenetic remodeling that occur during cellular reprogramming.6. Applications in Regenerative Medicine and Disease ModelingThe understanding gained through molecular biology techniques has paved the way for potential therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine and disease modeling. By deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying cellular reprogramming, researchers can develop strategies to generatepatient-specific iPSCs for transplantation, bypassing the need for immunosuppression. Additionally, cellular reprogramming can be utilized to model diseases in vitro, enabling the study of disease progression and drug screening in a personalized manner.7. ConclusionMolecular biology techniques have significantly advanced our understanding of cellular reprogramming. The integration of DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, gene editing, and epigenetic profiling has provided valuable insights into the mechanisms governing cellular identity and differentiation. These techniques have not only expanded our knowledge ofcellular reprogramming but also hold great potential in the fields of regenerative medicine and disease modeling. By harnessing the power of molecular biology, we can unlock thefull therapeutic potential of cellular reprogramming in the future.。

硫氧还蛋白还原酶1(TrxR1)属于吡啶核苷酸二硫化物氧化还原酶家族,作为目前已知的唯一能够还原硫氧还蛋白(Trx )的酶,TrxR1可以将氧化型的Trx 还原成还原型Trx [1]。
还原型的Trx 能够还原多种蛋白的二硫键,进而调控细胞的多种生物进程,如细胞增殖、分化以及凋亡等等[2]。
肿瘤细胞的代谢水平远高于正常细胞,因而在细胞内会产生大量活性氧[3]。
因此,肿瘤细胞往往会通过诱导抗氧化酶的表达来维持自身的氧化还原稳态,而TrxR1是其中一种被诱导的抗氧化酶。
近年来研究发现,TrxR1在多种肿瘤组织和细胞中高表达,如乳腺癌[4]、胃癌[5]、肺癌[6]和肠癌[7]等,并通过蛋白激酶B (PKB,又名AKT )、丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK )及信号传导及转录激活蛋白3(Stat3)等信号通路促进肿瘤细胞增殖、抑制凋亡及诱导耐药,是一个理想的抗肿瘤药物开发靶点[3,8]。

疾病差异基因表达英文Disease-specific gene expression: A deep dive into the molecular mechanisms.Diseases are often caused by complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Among these, the dysregulation of gene expression plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of various diseases. Disease-specific gene expression refers to the altered expression patterns of genes that are uniquely associated with a particular disease. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these changes is crucial for developing effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies.The study of disease-specific gene expression involves the analysis of gene expression profiles in diseased tissues or cells compared to their normal counterparts. This can be achieved through various high-throughput techniques such as microarrays, next-generation sequencing, and proteomics. These technologies allow researchers tomeasure the expression levels of thousands of genes simultaneously, providing a comprehensive view of the transcriptional landscape in diseased tissues.One of the key challenges in the field is the identification of disease-specific gene expression signatures. These signatures refer to the unique combinations of genes that are differentially expressed in a particular disease. The identification of these signatures requires the integration of bioinformatics tools and statistical methods to filter out the most relevant genes from the vast amount of data generated by high-throughput techniques.Once identified, disease-specific gene expression signatures can be used for various applications. Firstly, they can serve as biomarkers for disease diagnosis. By measuring the expression levels of specific genes inpatient samples, doctors can accurately diagnose diseases at an early stage, enabling timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.Secondly, disease-specific gene expression signatures can be used to understand the pathogenesis of diseases. By analyzing the functions and interactions of these genes, researchers can gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the development and progression of diseases. This knowledge can then be used to design targeted therapeutic strategies that aim to modulate the expression of these genes.Moreover, disease-specific gene expression signatures can also be used to predict patient outcomes and responses to treatment. By correlating gene expression patterns with clinical outcomes, researchers can identify subgroups of patients who are more likely to respond favorably to a particular treatment. This information can guide clinicians in making personalized treatment decisions for their patients.In addition, disease-specific gene expression signatures can serve as targets for drug discovery and development. By identifying the genes that are dysregulated in a particular disease, researchers can focus theirefforts on developing drugs that can modulate the expression of these genes. This approach has led to the discovery of several novel therapeutics that are currently being used to treat diseases such as cancer, inflammatory diseases, and neurological disorders.In conclusion, the study of disease-specific gene expression has opened new avenues for understanding the pathogenesis of diseases and developing effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies. With the advent of advanced technologies and bioinformatics methods, we are poised to make further progress in this field and bring about improvements in patient care and outcomes.。

Leukoc.Biol.80:433–447;2006.Key Words:myeloid⅐transcription factor⅐myeloid leukemia ⅐microarray⅐gene expressionINTRODUCTIONA detailed understanding of the molecular regulation of my-elopoiesis is critical for developing new approaches to hema-tological therapy and for diagnosis and treatment of myeloid leukemia.A number of hematopoietic growth factors(HGFs), or cytokines,play a key role in regulating the myeloid lineage. Binding of the HGF ligand to their receptors results in activa-tion of intracellular kinase activity and induction of multiple signaling pathways.This,in turn,mediates changes in cell behavior,ultimately through changes in gene expression asso-ciated with proliferation,survival,self-renewal,and differen-tiation.This response is mediated in part by modulation of the action of a number of lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs),which act by regulating key target genes such as cell cycle regulators,HGF receptors,and mature cell proteins that define particular cell types or lineages[1,2].In addition,these TFs often autoregulate their own promoters and are able to inhibit alternative genetic programs,thus specifying lineage commitment[3–5].In the granulocyte-macrophage(GM)lin-eage,key TFs are the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein(C/ EBP)family and the ets family member PU.1(for a recent review,see Rosmarin et al.[6]),the ratios of which are critical for cell fate[7].The nature of the links between myeloid HGFs and the action of TFs involved in the cellular response is still largely unclear.To address this important gap in our under-standing of myeloid cell responses,we have been examining how intracellular signals initiated by the myeloid HGFs,GM-colony stimulating factor(CSF),and interleukin(IL)-3impact on transcriptional programs.Given the pivotal roles of HGF signaling in regulating he-matopoiesis,it is not surprising that aberrant HGF receptor activation or activation of pathways downstream of HGF recep-tors is associated with leukemia.A key example of this is activation of fms-related tyrosine kinase3(FLT3),which rep-resents the most commonly mutated gene in acute myeloid 1These authors contributed equally to this work.2Correspondence:Child Health Research Institute,7th Floor,Clarence Rieger Building,72King William Road,North Adelaide,South Australia 5006,Australia.E-mail:Richard.dandrea@.auReceived February23,2006;revised March20,2006;accepted March23, 2006;doi:10.1189/jlb.0206112.0741-5400/06/0080-433©Society for Leukocyte Biology Journal of Leukocyte Biology Volume80,August2006433leukemia(AML)and is constitutively activated by acquired mutation(most commonly,internal tandem duplications)in 30–35%of AML cases[8,9].Aberrant HGF signaling in AML cells can also result from constitutive activation of other re-ceptors[10–12]or signaling molecules[13–15].Autocrine production of GM-CSF and IL-3also occur occasionally in AML[16]and chronic myeloid leukemia[17]and also result in constitutive activation of proliferation and survival pathways. The current model for pathogenesis of AML involves cooper-ation between these mutations and others,which leads to a block in differentiation or acquisition of self-renewal.This is associated with disruption of the normal transcriptional pro-gram,sometimes as a result of lesions involving key myeloid TFs such as C/EBP␣and PU.1[1]but commonly through the interference of translocation-derived fusion proteins[18]. There are overlaps between the effects of these two cooperating classes of mutation,as for example,FLT3activation appears to contribute to a differentiation block in some contexts[19]. With the advent of new,gene-profiling technologies,it has become possible to investigate the molecular basis of myeloid leukemias using approaches that measure global gene-expres-sion changes.Over recent years,there has been a large mass of data generated with respect to the gene-expression profiles of AML patient samples[20–23],sets of genes downstream of leukemogenic TFs[24,25]and associated with FLT3muta-tions[19,26–28].Such profiling needs to be considered to-gether with the gene-expression patterns available for myeloid cell line models undergoing directed differentiation[29–32] and granulocytic populations at different stages[33].In many of these analyses,gene-expression changes cannot generally be associated,a priori,with a specific cellular process(e.g., mitogenesis,promoting,or blocking differentiation,survival, self-renewal),as in these systems,many processes are occur-ring simultaneously.Dissection of gene-expression changes associated with each cellular outcome requires differential activation of these processes in parallel cell systems,such that gene-expression profiles can be monitored simultaneously. With such a system,a linear modeling approach permits iden-tification of different classes of genes based on such a complex set of conditions.With this in mind,we turned to a bipotential cell line model of myeloid differentiation,which displays dif-ferential responses to GM-CSF,IL-3,and activated GM-CSF receptor mutants.The FDB1cell line is strictly growth factor-dependent for survival;however,cells proliferate continuously in the presence of IL-3with only a minimal amount of spon-taneous differentiation to neutrophils,monocytes,and megakaryocytes.In the presence of GM-CSF,FDB1cells dif-ferentiate synchronously along the neutrophil and monocyte lineages with complete differentiation after5–7days[34].This ability to uncouple mitogenesis and self-renewal from differ-entiation while still using physiological stimuli allows a dis-section of these processes,not readily achieved in primary cells,which undergo simultaneous proliferation and differen-tiation and eventual growth arrest and cell death.To increase the power of this study,we included two activated mutants of the GM-CSF receptor,which have differential leukemogenic activity.These two mutants,FI⌬and V449E,are derived from the common signaling subunit(hc)for GM-CSF,IL-3,and IL-5(reviewed in Gonda and D’Andrea[35]and D’Andrea and Gonda[36])and represent two distinct classes of activated receptor[extracellular(EC);transmembrane(TM).The two mutants display overlapping,biochemical responses compared with the GM-CSF and IL-3receptor complexes[37]and most likely,represent alternative receptor configurations[35].In vivo,V449E induces a myeloid leukemia consistent with its ability to support the generation of immature myeloid cell lines in vitro[38],and the EC mutant FI⌬induces cytokine-inde-pendent formation of CFU-GM[colony-forming units-GM]and erythroid progenitor colonies and leads to a myeloproliferative disease in murine models[38,39].It is important that the FDB1cell line also responds differentially to these activated GM-CSF receptor mutants.V449E induces factor-independent proliferation of FDB1cells and is able to block GM-CSF-induced differentiation,properties that mimic the ability of this mutant to induce AML in vivo.FI⌬induces factor-independent GM differentiation,reflective of the signals that give rise to myeloproliferative disorder in vivo[34,40].Thus,FDB1pro-vides a manipulable model with which to study downstream signaling and transcriptional responses from cytokines and activated receptors.Here,we have used this model,time-course gene-expression profiling,and linear modeling to dis-sect the molecular mechanisms underlying the differential activities associated with the myeloid growth factors GM-CSF and IL-3and the activated mutants of the GM-CSF receptor. With a view to understanding the molecular control of myeloid differentiation,we focused our downstream and clustering analysis on identification of candidate regulatory genes encod-ing TFs and TF-associated products.In addition,we have used comparative analysis between our data and other studies fo-cused on C/EBP␣and AML to examine further the mechanism of leukemic receptor signaling.Here,we provide evidence for a mechanism of leukemic induction by activated growth factor receptor mutants,which may involve modulation of C/EBP␣activity.MATERIALS AND METHODSCytokines and antibodiesRecombinant murine(m)IL-3and GM-CSF were produced from baculovirus vectors supplied by Dr.Andrew Hapel(John Curtin School of Medical Re-search,Canberra,Australia).Culture and analysis of FDB1cellsFDB1cells were maintained as described previously[34].Infected pools were maintained as described plus1g/mL Puromycin(Sigma Chemical Co.,St. Louis,MO).Receptor expression(FI⌬or V449E)was confirmed by staining with a murine anti-FLAG TM antibody(Sigma Chemical Co.)followed by an anti-mousefluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibody(Silenus,Chemicon International,Temecula,CA).Cells were analyzed byflow cytometry using an Epics Elite ESP(Coulter Electronics,UK).If necessary,cells were sorted for expression as described previously[41].For the time courses,cells were washed three times in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium and cultured in 500BM U/mL mIL-3or mGM-CSF or without growth factor{1BM unit is the amount that gives50%maximal colony formation(CFU-GM)using bone marrow cells;see ref.[42]}.To assess differentiation,cells were centrifuged onto slides and stained with May-Gru¨nwald-Giemsa,and the proportion of differentiated cells was determined microscopically.To assess cell viability, the percentage of cells excluding trypan blue was determined using a hemo-cytometer.434Journal of Leukocyte Biology Volume80,August2006Experimental designThe experiment is arranged as a factorial design studying cell lines and time. For time-course information,each cell population was sampled at six time-points(0,6,12,24,48,and72h),and the time zero(T0)point was used as a reference to obtain relative expression levels following IL-3withdrawal.We also included the parental FDB1cell line maintained in IL-3to establish any baseline differences at T0as a result of expression of the activated receptors. Matched time comparisons were also performed at all six time-points between the two conditions supporting differentiation(GM-CSF and FI⌬)and between the two cell populations expressing activated receptor mutants(FI⌬vs. V449E).Two biological replicate samples were used for each cell population, and a dye-swap replicate was performed for each comparison. Hybridization and data analysisTotal cellular RNA was harvested with Trizol(Invitrogen,Carlsbad,CA)and further purified with the RNeasy RNA purification kit(Qiagen,Valencia,CA). Aliquots of RNA were kept to perform quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(QRT-PCR)analysis.cDNA was generated using50g total RNA as a template and primed with PolyT(V)N(4.0g)and random hexamers(1.0g,Amersham,UK).cDNA was labeled with Cy5or Cy3dyes using the Cy-Scribe post-labeling kit(Amersham)as per the instructions. Labeled cDNA was hybridized to microarray slides printed with the CompuGen Mouse OligoLibrary(v2.0,21,99765-mers comprising21,587unique genes) by the Adelaide Microarray Facility(Australia).Slides were scanned using a GenePix3000B scanner(Axon Instruments,Sunnydale,CA),and the Spot package(CSIRO,Australia)was used to identify spots and estimate fore-and background intensities(using a morphological opening background estimator) [43,44].Data analysis was performed in R()using the Limma package of Bioconductor[45,46]and in-house scripts.Arrays were normalized using intensity-dependent spatial normalization and scale normal-ization[47].Spatial loess was also applied to a subset of arrays[48].Linear modeling and F-test-based classifications were performed with the Limma package of bioconductor[45].We estimated,effects for baseline(T0)differ-ences between cell lines change over time in FI⌬(0,72h)and sample by time-interaction parameters between FI⌬and V449E and between FI⌬and GM-CSF.To examine the distribution of differentially expressed genes for a given comparison of interest,we constructed a volcano plot,in which we plotted log2(fold change)on the x-axis and the–log10[false discovery rate (FDR)-adjusted P value]on the y-axis.This generates a volcano-like shape,in which genes at low fold changes are typically not differentially expressed(P values close to1;–log(p)approaching zero),and those with strong evidence for differential expression typically have high fold-change values.Gene ontology (GO)over-representation analysis was performed using GO-STAT using the CompuGen Library as the comparison set and applying a FDR P value adjustment[49].Promoter analysis was performed using the CUREOS data-base(.au)using Transfac matrix M00770(V$CEBP_Q3, www.biobase.de)and requiring mouse and human homology.A2test was used to test for over-representation of consensus-binding sites.Additional information may be found under Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)Accession GSE3333.We have followed the guidelines set out by the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society(/miame).Clustering of TFsGO terms were obtained via the SOURCE website(, UniGene build139)or via direct query of the National Center for Biotechnol-ogy Information gene database.To increase sensitivity further to potential TFs, we used homologene to extracted GO terms for human homologs.We selected all genes,which were children of the terms transcription(GO:0006350), nucleoplasm(GO:0005654),DNA binding(GO:003677),or transcription reg-ulator activity(GO:0030258)or contained the terms“transcription,”“histone,”or“chromatin”in their GenBank Description.A total of2338genes was selected as transcription factor-associated.This was reduced down to340after filtering out genes with nonsignificant F-test values(1ϫ10Ϫ5).Clustering was performed using the Diana algorithm(R cluster package).We evaluated the distance between two profiles using a measure based on that of Bar-Joseph[50] for comparing two time profiles.Briefly,for a gene i,a smoothed spline curve C wasfitted to each of thefive time-course and matched time data sets.The distance between two genes(i and j)for time course p was calculated as d ijpϭ͐t1t2[Cip(t)ϪC jp(t)]2dt/(t2Ϫt1)ϭ͐t1t2[Cijp]2dt/(t2Ϫt1),and the total distance was then calculated as D ijϭͱ¥pϭ1..5d ijpϩ(M V499EϪIL32.The dendrogram was then cut at a height of1.25to define14clusters.Full annotation information of genes in each cluster is listed in Supplementary Table1.QRT-PCRAliquots of RNA prepared for the microarray analysis were subjected to real-time RT-PCR analysis.For this,RNA was treated with DNase(Ambion, Austin,TX),reverse-transcribed with Oligo-dT(Ambion)using Omniscript RT (Qiagen).The sequences of the oligonucleotides used for PCR are listed in Supplementary Table2.Gene-specific PCR reactions were performed for38 cycles using Amplitaq Gold(Perkin Elmer,Wellesley,MA)and recommended conditions.SYBR green(10ϫ;Molecular Probes,Eugene,OR)was added to afinal concentration of0.6ϫper reaction,which was performed on the Rotor-Gene3000and related software used for data collection and to deter-mine mean expression values relative to Cyclophilin A(Corbett Research, Version5.0).Amplification products were analyzed by melt curve and resolved on2%agarose to confirm specificity.Analysis was performed using a mixed-effects linear model to estimate T0differences between each cell line and mean changes within cell lines over time,treating PCR run as a blocking variable. Retroviral transduction and functional analysis in the FDB1cell lineFor functional analysis,the full-length c-Myb cDNA was cloned into the murine stem cell virus(MSCV)-internal ribosome entry site(IRES)-green fluorescence protein(GFP)retroviral vector and FDB1cells infected by cocultivation as described previously[40].Following infection with virus-producing cells,GFPϩFDB1cells were isolated byflow cytometry and expanded in mIL-3.For testing,cells were withdrawn from IL-3and monitored for morphological differentiation in the presence and absence of GM-CSF for 5days,as described previously[40].Changes in cell morphology were re-corded following cytocentrifugation of cells onto a glass slide and staining with May-Gru¨nwald-Giemsa.Association of the V449E gene set with leukemia subsets identified by gene profilingWe downloaded the(MAS5)normalized data used by Valk et al.[51]from GEO (GSE1159-21979).The normalized data were loaded into R for analysis with the Limma package,and the patients were divided into the16clusters(groups) as defined in ref.[51].For each cluster,we compared expression in patients against normal controls,and for each gene obtained,FDR adjusted P value. We then mapped the V449E-associated gene set(see Table4)to the probes on the HG-U133A GeneChip.After cross-species mapping,the V449E-associated data set reduced from44probes to30.Then,for each of the16clusters identified in this study,we looked for association between our V449E gene set and genes differentially expressed in this cluster.We ranked all genes on the array on the basis of FDR-adjusted P values and then examined the distribu-tion of ranks of the30Affymetrix probes homologous to our V449E gene set. Significance was assessed using a Wilcoxon rank sum test as implemented in R.RESULTSA model system of myeloid cell growthand differentiationWe have previously outlined the use of retroviral infection to generate FDB1cell populations expressing the activated GM-CSF receptor mutants FI⌬and V449E[40].A similar level of expression of the hßc mutant in each population was confirmed by staining for the FLAG epitope fused to the N terminus of the mutantsubunit(Fig.1A).For each condition,changes in morphology,growth,and viability were quantitated(see Fig.1, B and C).The FDB1cells behaved as described previously[34,Brown et al.Regulators of myeloid differentiation and leukemia43540],and complete differentiation to granulocytes and macro-phages (approximately equal ratio)occurred over 5days in GM-CSF and in response to the FI ⌬signal.The switch from IL-3to V449E signaling did not result in any discernible change to morphology,growth,or viability of the FDB1cells.Experimental design and data generationFor dissection of signaling pathways,we performed a time-course study using FDB1cells switched from a continuous growth signal (IL-3)to signaling via the leukemic receptor,V449E,or to conditions permitting synchronous monocytic and granulocytic differentiation (GM-CSF or FI ⌬).This allowed a parallel time-course comparison to reveal gene-expression changes associated with the switch to alternative differentia-tion-inducing signals (GM-CSF or FI ⌬)or signaling via the leukemia-inducing V449E mutant.In addition,we performed comparisons between cell populations at matched time-points to reveal differences in gene expression between cells under-going differentiation or proliferation/self-renewal.The overall experimental design,incorporating matched-time andtime-Fig.1.FDB1experimental system.(A)Cell surface expression of the hßc-activated mutants on FDB1cells as determined by flow cytometry.Transduced cells (solid peaks)were stained with an anti-FLAG

dye swaps and biological rep-licates),is shown schematically in Figure 2and was based on admissible design criteria [52].A major strength of this design is that it allows estimation of genes with differential expression in the initial cell populations (i.e.,T 0differ-ences)and time-related changes within a cell population (main effects).It is important that this design also permits identification of genes with significantly different expression profiles between cell populations over time (interaction ef-fects).Linear modeling to identify differentially expressed genesThe linear modeling approach is particularly well-suited to factorial experiments comparing one parameter (cell popula-tion)against another (time)and is more powerful than the alternative approach of analyzing the data set as a series of smaller experiments with the same total number of slides [45].We used a linear modeling approach that allowed us to com-bine arrays from different cell populations and use an F-test-based approach to select genes with complex expression pro-files of potential biological interest [45,46].This allowed us to identify common gene-expression changes between FDB1cell populations undergoing one or more fates in common as shown in Figure 2.Thus,we classed differentiation-associated genes as those that increased in expression over 72h in the FI ⌬and/or the GM-CSF cell population and for which this change was significantly greater than the change (if any)in the V449E cell population.The criteria used to select proliferation and self-renewal-associated genes were identical,except that we required decreases in gene expression rather than ing an F-test with a FDR-adjusted P value cut-off of 1ϫ10Ϫ5and a minimum change of 1.4-fold,we identified 205differentiation-associated genes and 175proliferation or self-renewal-associated genes.These gene sets are represented in volcano plots in Figure 3,which provide a visual indication of the relative evidence for differential expression of a given gene.Figure 3A shows a clear increase in the number of genes displaying differential expression over time,based on FDR-adjusted P value,in the parental FDB1population shifted to GM-CSF and the FI ⌬population.Although few significant changes are observed at the 6-h time-point,clear groups of differentiation-associated (red)and proliferation-associated (green)genes are identified by this analysis over the 72-h time-course.To examine V449E signaling as a model of leu-kemic-activated cytokine receptor signaling,we compared the gene-expression profiles of the parental FDB1cells and the FI ⌬population (in IL-3)with the V449E cell population under the same ing an F-test with a FDR-adjusted P value cut-off of 1ϫ10Ϫ5and a minimum change of 1.4-fold,we identified 44genes specifically down-regulated by the V449E mutant (shown in purple in Fig.3B).It is interesting that this gene set is strongly differentiation-associated,as indicated by the increased expression of these genes over time in the parental cells responding to GM-CSF and in the FI ⌬population (Fig.3A).This is most likely reflective of the ability of V449E to block differentiation of myeloid cells,a property that is crucial for induction of AML in vivo.After examining profiles of genes with significant gene-expression changes under various conditions,we selected 10genes of interest and performed QRT-PCR to provide valida-tion for the microarray results (Fig.4).For each gene,we then made eight comparisons and compared significance level and direction between microarray and QRT-PCR-based estimates.For the 80comparisons made,we observed 72.5%concor-dance on significance level and direction.In general,microar-ray-based estimates of fold changes were smaller than those from QRT-PCR.Validation of the model system—measuring gene-expression changes and function in the FDB1systemAs discussed above,we identified differentiation-associated genes on the basis of elevated expression in the FI ⌬and/or the GM-CSF population and stable expression in the V449E pop-ulation.Table 1lists all 205differentiation-associated genes together with their fold-changes and FDR P values over 72h in the FI ⌬cell population (changes in GM-CSF were similar and are supplied along with full gene annotation information in Supplementary Table 3).Example gene-expression profiles are shown in Figure 5A .GO analysis of this gene set indicated significant over-representation of terms such as defense re-sponse (GO:0006952,P ϭ2ϫ10Ϫ8),response to wounding (GO:0009611,P ϭ5ϫ10Ϫ6),and chemotaxis (GO:0006935,P ϭ5ϫ10Ϫ5),consistent with up-regulation of genes involved in mature granulocytes and macrophages.Many of the genes identified in this analysis are known to be associated with myeloid differentiation (Table 2),thus providing an important validation of this cell-line model of myeloid differentiation and confirming the hypothesis that genes displaying concordant regulation in response to the FI ⌬mutant and GM-CSF will be of most relevance to GM differentiation in vivo.We also examined genes for which higher levels of expres-sion are associated with proliferation and self-renewal.We identified these on the basis of their maintained expression at 72h in the V449E-expressing FDB1population andtheirFig.2.Experimental design.Parental FDB1cells grown in IL-3were washed and cultured for up to 3days in the presence of GM-CSF.In parallel,FDB1cell populations expressing FI ⌬or V449E were washed and cultured in the absence of growth factor.RNA was harvested from these populations at 0,6,12,24,48,and parisons performed are represented by arrows (double-headed arrow indicates the use of dye-swap comparisons).All com-parisons presented were performed four times
