The goal of this study is to define biologically distinct subsets of Very Low Risk Wilms Tumors (VLRWT) using oligonucleotide arrays.
Subsets of very low risk Wilms tumor show distinctive gene expression, histologic, and clinical features.

View SamplesExpression from CD133+ cells isolated from adult human exocrine tissue was compared to a CD133-depleted cell population Overall design: Islet-depleted exocrine tissue from three independent adult human cadaveric pancreata were cultured for four days in Miami media 1A. Following trypsinization, cells were isolated using anti-CD133 immunomagnetic beads to >95% CD133+. CD133-negative cells were further depleted of CD133+ cells to <1% CD133+.
Neurogenin 3 is regulated by neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (TRKB) signaling in the adult human exocrine pancreas.

View SamplesCirculating microRNAs (miRNA) are relatively stable in plasma and are a new class of disease biomarkers. Here we present evidence that human high-density lipoprotein (HDL) transports endogenous miRNAs and delivers them to recipient cells with functional targeting capabilities. Highly-purified fractions of human HDL contain small RNAs, and the HDL-miRNA profile from normal subjects is significantly different than familial hypercholesterolemia subjects. miRNAs were demonstrated to associate with both native and reconstituted HDL particles, and reconstituted HDL injected into mice retrieved distinct miRNA profiles from normal and atherogenic models. Cellular export of miRNAs to HDL was demonstrated to be regulated by neutral sphingomyelinase. HDL-mediated delivery of miRNAs to recipient cells was demonstrated to be scavenger receptor BI-dependent. Furthermore, HDL delivery of both exogenous and endogenous miRNAs resulted in the direct targeting of mRNA reporters. Notably, HDL-miRNA from atherosclerotic subjects induced differential gene expression, with significant loss of conserved mRNA targets in cultured hepatocytes. Collectively, these observations suggest that HDL participates in a novel mechanism of intercellular communication involving the transport and delivery of miRNAs.

View SamplesConditioned media from a human embryonic germ cell-derived line called SDEC was found to be supportive of human embryonic stem cell growth in the absence of feeder layers on a simple type I collagen matrix. We performed gene expression studies comparing this line to non-supportive cell lines (WI-38 and Detroit 551) to try to identify gene targets responsible for this phenomenon.
Proliferation and pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells maintained on type I collagen.
