View SamplesThis is a large series human Duchenne muscular dystrophy patient muscle biopsies, in specific age groups, using all available Affymetrix arrays (including a custom MuscleChip produced by the Hoffman lab). Both mixed groups of patients (5 patient biopsies per group) and individual biopsies were done.

View SamplesWnt signaling is intrinsic to mouse embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Therefore it is surprising that reprogramming of somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is not strongly enhanced by Wnt signaling. Here, we demonstrate that active Wnt signaling inhibits the early stage of reprogramming to iPSCs, while it is required and even stimulating during the late stage. Mechanistically, this biphasic effect of Wnt signaling is accompanied by a change in the requirement of all four of its transcriptional effectors: Tcf1, Lef1, Tcf3, and Tcf4. For example, Tcf3 and Tcf4 are stimulatory early but inhibitory late in the reprogramming process. Accordingly, ectopic expression of Tcf3 early in reprogramming combined with its loss-of-function late enables efficient reprogramming in the absence of ectopic Sox2. Together, our data indicate that the step-wise process of reprogramming to iPSCs is critically dependent on the stage-specific control and action of all four Tcfs and Wnt signaling.

View SamplesThe vascular lining cells in the human spleens include littoral cells (LCs) and other splenic vascular endothelial cells (SVECs). LCs that comprise about 30 percent of the splenic red pulp are specialzed endothelial cells distinct from SVECs. They line the splenic sinusoids and function as the filters and scavengers for senescent or altered red blood cells. Patients with advanced forms of myelofibrosis (MF) often develope extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen.Vascular lining cells within MF spleens are thought to serve as a supportive microenvironment for MF hematopoietic cells. In this study we isolated MF and normal LCs and SVECs from human spleens using immunostaining and flow cytometric sorting and used microarrays to analyze the underling mechanism of LCs' unique functions that distinguish them from SVECs, and the properties of MF LCs and SVECs and their contributions to the microenvironment of MF spleens.

View SamplesIn this study gene expression of monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and healthy subjects was investigated. MDM were treated with LPS, a combination of fine TiO2 and ultrafine Printex90 particles, or remained untreated.
