Effects of lack of functional LH receptor and/or a constitutively active FSH receptor on gene expression in the ovaries of female mice were studied. The results suggest that transgenic expression of the mouse Fshr in granulosa cells leads to abnormal ovarian structure/function and infertility. This finding indicates that gain-of-function mutations of the Fshr in female mice bring about distinct and clear changes in ovarian function.

View SamplesWork previously published by our group has demonstrated that T cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) show differentially regulated genes compared with healthy T cells. This study was initiated to examine if these gene expression changes were unique to CLL T cells or common to an alternative leukaemia, acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).
Peripheral blood T cells in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients at diagnosis have abnormal phenotype and genotype and form defective immune synapses with AML blasts.

View SamplesCutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common malignancies in fair skinned populations worldwide and its incidence is increasing. Despite previous observations of multiple genetic abnormalities in cSCC, the oncogenic process remains elusive. The purpose of this study was to investigate the transcriptomes of cSCC and actinic keratoses (AK), to elucidate key differences between precursor AK lesions and invasive carcinoma.
Key differences identified between actinic keratosis and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma by transcriptome profiling.

View SamplesNegative immunomagnetic selection has become the method of choice for isolating T cell subsets for functional studies due to concerns that directly binding antibody to the surface of a cell, as occurs with positive selection, results in cross-linking of surface antigens, altered gene transcription and subsequent cellular activation. However there is little data to support this. We therefore examined the impact of the method of immunomagnetic cell selection on the gene expression profile of healthy human CD4 and CD8 T cells in a total of 21 cases.

View SamplesAnalysis of gene expression at RNA level by 4 different cell sorted Vg9Vd2 subsets (Subset 1=CD28+CD27+, Subset2=CD28-CD27+, Subset 3=CD28-CD7-CD16-, Subset 4 = CD28-CD27-CD16+). Results highlight differences in RNA expression characterising these four cell populations into distinct phenotypic subsets with distinct functional potential
Heterogeneous yet stable Vδ2(+) T-cell profiles define distinct cytotoxic effector potentials in healthy human individuals.

View SamplesThe development of chemo-resistance has dramatically limited the clinical efficiency of platinum-based therapy. Although many resistant mechanisms have been demonstrated, genetic/molecular alterations responsible for drug resistance in the majority of clinical cases has not been identified.

View SamplesAlternative splicing is a key event to human transcriptome and proteome diversity and complexity. Recent evidence suggests that pancreatic cancer might possess particular patterns of splice variation that influence the function of individual genes contributing to tumour progression in this disease. The identification of new pancreatic cancer-associated splice variants would offer opportunities for novel diagnostics and potentially also represent novel therapeutic targets.
