Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 is usually sensitive to chemotherapy drug BMS-554417, an insulin receptor (IR) and insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGFR) inhibitor. However, through step-wise increase in BMS-554417 doses in culture media, we were able able to screen and select a single MCF-7 clone that is BMS-554417 resistant. It is cross resistant to BMS-536924. This new line of MCF-7 cells was named as MCF-7R4. The transcriptome profiling of both MCF-7 and MCF-7R4 was performed using Affymetrix HG-U133 plus2.0 GeneChip arrays.

Description
Tyrosine phosphorylation is a hallmark for activation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) proteins, but their transcriptional activity also depends on other secondary modifications. Type I interferons (IFNs) can activate both the ISGF3 (STAT1:STAT2:IRF9) complex and STAT3, but with cell-specific, selective triggering of only the ISGF3 transcriptional program. Following a genome-wide RNAi screen, we identified the Sin3a complex as an important mediator of this STAT3 transcriptional repression. Sin3a directly interacts with the DNA-binding domain of STAT3 and alters its acetylation status. SIN3A silencing enhances recruitment of STAT3 and enhanceosome components to the SOCS3 promoter, resulting in histone hyperacetylation and enhanced transcription. Conversely, Sin3a is required for ISGF3-dependent gene transcription and for an efficient IFN-mediated antiviral protection against Influenza A and hepatitis C viruses. The Sin3a complex therefore acts as a context-dependent STAT1/3 transcriptional switch.

Description
To investigate the impact of ablating Bcl9/Bcl9l on tumorigenesis, 6-8- week-old mice were exposed first to a single dose dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 44 mg/kg body weight), which is metabolized in the liver to carcinogenic azoxymethane (AOM), followed by 7 days oral administration of 2 % dextrane sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water. This regimen results in the emergence of dysplastic adenomas, which progress to differentiated adenocarcinomas that are morphologically similar to human colorectal adenocarcinomas and typically harbor -catenin stabilizing mutations of GSK3 phosphorylation sites. Accordingly, these tumors present hallmarks of active Wnt signaling such as accumulation of nuclear -catenin and expression of Wnt target genes.

Description
The goal of this study was to determine how decreased mitochondrial citrate export influences gene expression in Drosophila larvae. RNA was isolated from Drosopohila sea mutants, which exhibiti decreased mitochondrial citrate transport activity, and a genetically-matched control strain during mid-L3 development. Overall design: Larvae were collected as described in Li, H., Tennessen, J. M. Preparation of Drosophila Larval Samples for Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)-based Metabolomics. J. Vis. Exp. (136), e57847, doi:10.3791/57847 (2018). RNA was purified from staged mid-L3 larvae using a RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen). Sequencing was performed using an Illumina NextSeq500 platform with 75 bp sequencing module generating 41 bp paired-end reads. After the sequencing run, demultiplexing was performed with bcl2fastq v2.20.0.422.

Description
Cancer cells utilize a unique form of aerobic glycolysis, called the Warburg effect, to efficiently produce the macromolecules required for proliferation. Here we show that a metabolic program related to the Warburg effect is used during normal Drosophila development and regulated by the fly ortholog of the Estrogen-Related Receptor (ERR) family of nuclear receptors. dERR null mutants die as second instar larvae with abnormally low ATP levels, diminished triacylglyceride stores, and elevated levels of circulating sugars. Metabolomic profiling revealed that the pathways affected in these mutants correspond to those used in the Warburg effect. The expression of active dERR protein in mid-embryogenesis triggers a coordinate switch in gene expression that drives a metabolic program supporting the dramatic growth that occurs during larval development. This study suggests that mammalian ERR family members may promote cancer by directing a metabolic state that supports proliferation.

Description
High-throughput sequencing of primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL), primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leg type (PCLBCL-LT) and in vitro activated peripheral blood B-cells. We performed high-throughput sequencing analysis on frozen tumor biopsies from 19 cases of PCFCL and PCLBCL-LT to establish microRNA profiles. Cluster analysis of the complete microRNome could not distinguish between the two subtypes, but 16 single microRNAs were found to be differentially expressed. Overall design: Lymphoma miRNA profiles of were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina Genome Analyzer II.

Description
The bone marrow microenvironment is composed of heterogeneous cell populations of non-hematopoietic cells with complex phenotypes and undefined trajectories of maturation. Among them, mesenchymal cells maintain the production of stromal, bone, fat and cartilage cells. Resolving these unique cellular subsets within the bone marrow remains challenging. Here, we used single-cell RNA-sequencing of non-hematopoietic bone marrow cells to define specific subpopulations. Furthermore, by combining computational prediction of the cell state hierarchy with known expression of key transcription factors, we mapped differentiation paths to the osteocyte, chondrocyte, and adipocyte lineages. Finally, we validated our findings using lineage-specific reporter strains and targeted knockdowns. Our analysis reveals differentiation hierarchies for maturing stromal cells, determines key transcription factors along these trajectories, and provides an understanding of the complexity of the bone marrow microenvironment. Overall design: Single-cell mRNA sequencing of stromal cells from mouse bone marrow. Sample Stroma1 represents 948 final filtered single cells. Sample Stroma2 represents 1899 final filtered single cells.

Description
Mycosis fungoides (MF), the most common cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), is a malignancy of mature, skin-homing T cells. Szary syndrome (Sz) is often considered to represent a leukemic phase of MF. In this study the pattern of numerical chromosomal alterations in MF tumor samples was defined using array-based CGH; simultaneously gene expression was analyzed using microarrays. Highly recurrent chromosomal alterations in MF include copy number gain of 7q36, 7q21-7q22 and loss of 5q13 and 9p21. This pattern characteristic of MF differs markedly from chromosomal alterations observed in Sz. Integration of data from array-based CGH and gene expression analysis yielded several candidate genes with potential relevance in the pathogenesis of MF. We confirmed that the FASTK and SKAP1 genes, residing in loci with recurrent gain, demonstrated increased expression. The RB1 and DLEU1 tumor suppressor genes showed diminished expression associated with loss. In addition, it was found that presence of chromosomal alterations on 9p21, 8q24 and 1q21-1q22 was associated with poor prognosis in patients with MF. This study provides novel insight into genetic alterations underlying MF. Furthermore, our analysis uncovered genomic differences between MF and Sz, which suggest that the molecular pathogenesis and therefore therapeutic requirements of these CTCLs may be distinct.
