Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Human CD8+ T cells are functionally heterogeneous and can be divided into distinct subsets according to CCR7 and CD45RA expression levels. Among the subsets, CCR7-CD45RA+ CD8+ T cells are considered to be terminally differentiated cells and designated as Temra. Temra show attenuated ability to proliferate and produce IFN-gamma in response to TCR stimulation, while Temra show improved function after IL-15 treatment.
Publication Title
IL-15 boosts the function and migration of human terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells by inducing a unique gene signature.

Description
We noticed that ThPOK repression is readily abrogated upon in vitro TCR stimulation of peripheral CD8 T cells. This observation prompted us to investigate a role of ThPOK in the CD8 T cell response to an acute viral infection. We observed that clonal expansion is significantly less in both primary and secondary CD8 T cell responses in the absence of functional ThPOK. To approach this mechanism, we carried out a microarray analysis for comparison of gene expression between ThPOKhd/hd and ThPOKwt/wt P14 memory T cells.
Publication Title
ThPOK derepression is required for robust CD8 T cell responses to viral infection.

Description
FoxP3 is a central regulator of immunological tolerance, controlling the development and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. To dissect the complex processes orchestrated by FoxP3, we investigated impacts of three autoimmune disease-associated missense FoxP3 mutations (i.e., I363V, A384T, R397W) through knock-in mutagenesis in mice.

FoxP3 is a central regulator of immunological tolerance, controlling the development and function of regulatory T (Treg) cells. To dissect the complex processes orchestrated by FoxP3, we investigated impacts of three autoimmune disease-associated missense FoxP3 mutations in mice. The I363V and R397W mutations were loss-of-function mutations, causing multi-organ inflammation by globally compromising Treg cell physiology. By contrast, the A384T mutation induced a distinctive tissue-restricted inflammation by specifically impairing the ability of Treg cells to compete with pathogenic T cells in certain non-lymphoid tissues.

Description
Cachexia is an exacerbating event in many types of cancer that is strongly associated with a poor prognosis. We have identified cytokine, signaling and transcription factors that are required for cachexia in the mouse C26 colon carcinoma model of cancer. C2C12 myotubes treated with conditioned medium from C26 cancer cells induced atrophy and activated a STAT-dependent reporter gene but not reporter genes dependent on SMAD, FOXO, C/EBP, NF-B, or AP-1. Of the gp130 family members IL-11, IL-6, oncostatin M (OSM), and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), only OSM and LIF were sufficient to activate the STAT reporter in myotubes. A LIF blocking antibody abolished C26 CM-induced STAT reporter activation STAT3 phosphorylation and myotube atrophy, but blocking antibodies to IL-6 or OSM did not. JAK2 inhibitors also blocked the C26 CM-induced STAT reporter activation, STAT3 phosphorylation, and atrophy in myotubes. LIF at levels found in the C26 CM was sufficient for STAT reporter activation and atrophy in myotubes. In vivo, an increase in serum LIF preceded the increase in IL-6 in mice with C26 tumors. Overexpression of a dominant negative Stat3C-EGFP gene in myotubes and in mouse muscle blocked the atrophy caused by C26 CM or C26 tumors, respectively. Taken together these data support an important role of LIF- JAK2-STAT3 in C26 cachexia and point to a therapeutic approach for at least some types of cancer cachexia.

Description
miR-155 is a microRNA associated with poor prognosis in lymphoma and leukemia and has been implicated in the progression of Mycosis Fungoides (MF), the most common form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In this study, we developed and tested Cobomarsen (MRG-106), a locked nucleic acid-modified oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155. In MF cell lines in vitro, inhibition of miR-155 with Cobomarsen de-repressed direct miR-155 targets, decreased expression of multiple gene pathways associated with cell survival, reduced survival signaling, decreased cell proliferation, and activated apoptosis.
Publication Title
Cobomarsen, an oligonucleotide inhibitor of miR-155, co-ordinately regulates multiple survival pathways to reduce cellular proliferation and survival in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Description
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has evolved exquisite controls over its host cells, human B lymphocytes, not only directing these cells during latency to proliferate and thereby expand the pool of infected cells, but also to survive and thereby persist for the lifetime of the infected individual. Although these activities ensure the virus is successful, they also make the virus oncogenic, particularly when infected people are immunosuppressed. Here we show, strikingly, that one set of EBV’s miRNAs both sustain BL (Burkitt’s lymphoma) cells in the absence of other viral oncogenes and promote the transformation of primary B lymphocytes. Burkitt’s Lymphoma cells were engineered to lose EBV and found to die by apoptosis and could be rescued by constitutively expressing viral miRNAs in them. Two of these EBV miRNAs were found to target Caspase 3 to inhibit apoptosis at physiological concentrations.
