Ikaros hypomorphic mice (IkL/L) show plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) defects with an absence of pDCs in the peripheral organs and a reduction of pDCs in the bone marrow (BM). Moreover in vitro differentiation of pDC from IkL/L total BM cells is also defective.
Ikaros cooperates with Notch activation and antagonizes TGFβ signaling to promote pDC development.

View SamplesTo assess the importance of the Wnt pathway during T cell develoment, we generated a mouse line (R26-cat) in which high levels of active -catenin are maintained throughout T cell development. Young R26-cat mice (6-week-old) show a differentiation block at the CD4+CD8+ DP stage. All R26-cat mice develop T cell leukemias with a DP phenotype at 5-6 months of age.
β-Catenin activation synergizes with Pten loss and Myc overexpression in Notch-independent T-ALL.

View SamplesRNA Pol II transcription has been implied to be either regulated by the general transcription factor TFIID or the co-activator SAGA. Also, this dominancy of either SAGA or TFIID might be according to the existance, or not, of a TATA consensus sequence.

View SamplesIn this experiment, we compared transcriptome of 2 homozygous knock out mutants in the CLV1 gene (clv1-12 and clv1-13) to their wild type Ws-2 when challenged with the virulent Rd15 strain of Ralstonia solanacearum. The two mutants show a significant delay of symptom appearance. The experiment was conducted on roots and leaves of 4 week old plants harvested at the time of inoculation and when the first symptoms appeared on the susceptible wild type (4 days after inoculation).

View SamplesWe used oligonucleotide microarrays to address the specificities of transcriptional responses of adult Drosophila to different stresses induced by paraquat and H2O2, two oxidative stressors, and by tunicamycin which induces an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Flies were tested 24 hours after exposure to continuous stresses induced by ingestion of paraquat, H2O2 or tunicamycin at concentrations leading to similar effects on viability. We used concentrations of 1% H2O2, 5mM paraquat and 12uM of tunicamycin which lead to negligeable mortality at 24 hours. A paraquat concentration of 15mM was also used for comparison with previous studies Both specific and common responses to the three stressors were observed and whole genome functional analysis identified several important classes of stress responsive genes. Within some functional classes, we observed large variabilities of transcriptional changes between isozymes, which may reflect unsuspected functional specificities.

View SamplesThe spinal cord is generated progressively as cells leave the caudal region of the elongating body axis such that the temporal steps of neural differentiation become spatially separated along the head to tail axis. At key stages, it is therefore possible to isolate near-adjacent cell populations from the same embryo in distinct differentiation states. Cells in the caudal lateral epiblast adjacent to the primitive streak (also known as the stem zone, SZ, in the chick) express both early neural and mesodermal genes. Other cells in the stem zone will gastrulate to form the paraxial mesoderm or remain in the epiblast cell sheet and become neural progenitors. These latter cells form a new region called the preneural tube (PNT), which is flanked by unsegmented presomitic mesoderm and represents an early neural progenitor state that can be induced by FGF signalling to revert back to a multi-potent SZ state. Rostral to this, the closed caudal neural tube (CNT) is flanked by somites and is an early site of co-expression of genes characteristic of neural progenitors, and of ventral patterning genes (Diez del Corral et al., 2003). The CNT contains the first few neurons and exposure to FGF cannot revert this tissue to a multi-potent SZ state (Diez del Corral et al., 2002). The transition from the PNT to the CNT thus involves commitment to a neural fate that this is regulated by a switch from FGF to retinoid signalling. More advanced neuroepithelium is then located in more rostral neural tube (RNT), in which neuronal differentiation is ongoing and dorsoventral pattern is refined. This experiment uses the Affymetrix GeneChip chicken genome microarray to compare the transcriptomes of microdissections of these spatially distinct cell populations from the elongating neural axis of HH stage 10 chick embryos. Dissections were carried out in L15 medium at 4°C and explants pooled in TRIzol reagent (Gibco) for RNA extraction. Notochord was removed by controlled trypsin digestion that aimed to keep the neural ventral midline. For the microarrays, at least five tissue samples for each region were pooled to make each of three biological replicates for each (n>15 for each region).

View SamplesWe used microarrays to detail the global gene expression signature of PDAC and to identify distinct up- and down-regulated transcripts in these tumors compared to control pancreas. We also established from this dataset the metabolic signature of PDAC in order to define new metabolic therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

View SamplesIn this experiment, we compared transcriptome of one knock out mutants in the CLV2 gene (clv2-7) to his wild type Col-0 when challenged with the virulent GMI1000 strain of Ralstonia solanacearum. This mutant shows a significant delay of symptom appearance. The experiment was conducted on roots and leaves of 4 week old plants harvested at the time of inoculation and when the first symptoms appeared on the susceptible wild type (4 days after inoculation - 25% of wilted leaves: disease index 1, D1).
