Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is a progressive neuromuscular disorder caused by contractions of repetitive elements within the macrosatellite D4Z4 on chromosome 4q35. In order to develop mRNA-based biomarkers of affected muscles, we used GeneChip Gene 1.0 ST arrays for global analysis of gene expression in muscle biopsy specimens obtained from FSHD subjects and their unaffected first degree relatives.

Description
Insulin-like growth factor receptor-1 (IGF-1R) inhibition could be a relevant therapeutic approach in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) given the importance of an IGF-1R autocrine loop and its role in DNA damage repair processes. We assessed IGF-1R and pAkt protein expression in 83 SCLC human specimens. The efficacy of R1507 (a monoclonal antibody directed against IGF-1R) alone or combined with cisplatin or ionizing radiation (IR) was evaluated in H69, H146 and H526 cells in vitro and in vivo. Innovative genomic and functional approaches were conducted to analyze the molecular behavior under the different treatment conditions. A total of 53% and 37% of human specimens expressed IGF-1R and pAkt, respectively. R1507 demonstrated single agent activity in H146 and H526 cells but not in H69 cells. R1507 exhibited synergistic effects with both Cisplatin and IR in vitro. The triple combination R1507-Cisplatin-IR led to a dramatic delay in tumor growth compared to Cisplatin-IR in H526 cells. Analyzing the apparent absence of antitumoral effect of R1507 alone in vivo, we observed a transient reduction of IGF-1R staining intensity in vivo, concomitant to the activation of multiple cell surface receptors and intracellular proteins involved in proliferation, angiogenesis and survival. Finally, we identified that the nucleotide excision repair pathway (NER) was mediated after exposure to R1507-CDDP and R1507-IR in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, adding R1507 to the current standard Cisplatin-IR doublet reveals remarkable chemo- and radiosensitizing effects in selected SCLC models and warrants to be investigated in the clinical setting.

Description
To identify genes implicated in metastatic colonization of the liver in colorectal cancer, we collected pairs of primary tumors and hepatic metastases before chemotherapy in 13 patients. We compared mRNA expression in the pairs of patients to identify genes deregulated during metastatic evolution. We then validated the identified genes using data obtained by different groups. The 33-gene signature was able to classify 87% of hepatic metastases, 98% of primary tumors, 97% of normal colon mucosa, and 95% of normal liver tissues in six datasets obtained using five different microarray platforms. The identified genes are specific to colon cancer and hepatic metastases since other metastatic locations and hepatic metastases originating from breast cancer were not classified by the signature. Gene Ontology term analysis showed that 50% of the genes are implicated in extracellular matrix remodeling, and more precisely in cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization and angiogenesis. Because of the high efficiency of the signature to classify colon hepatic metastases, the identified genes represent promising targets to develop new therapies that will specifically affect hepatic metastasis microenvironment.

Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technology has undergone rapid development in recent years and brings new challenges in data processing and analysis. This has led to an explosion of tailored analysis methods for scRNA-seq to address various biological questions. However, the current lack of gold-standard benchmarking datasets makes it difficult for researchers to evaluate the performance of the many methods available in a systematic manner. Here, we designed and generated a cross-platform benchmark dataset that has in-built truth in various forms and varying levels of biological noise. We used this dataset to compare different protocols and data analysis methods. We found that different protocols have different data quality and ERCC spike-in works independently to endogenous RNA. We found significant differences in the results from the methods compared and we associated the results with data characteristics to identify methods that perform well in different situations. Our dataset and analysis provide a valuable resource for algorithm selection in different biological settings. Overall design: our experiment utilized the 3 human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines H2228, H1975 and HCC827. The experiment included mixtures of RNA and single cells from these cell lines. For the single cell designs, the three cell lines were mixed equally and processed by 10X chromium, Drop-seq and CEL-seq2, referred to as sc_10X, sc_Drop-seq and sc_CEL-seq2 respectively in analysis that follows. For the mixture designs, we used plate-based protocols to mix and dilute samples in 2 different ways. 9 cell mixtures from the 3 cell lines were sorted in different combinations in the cell mixture experiment and data were generated by CEL-seq2, the material after pooling from 384 wells were subsampled in either 1/9 or 1/3 to simulate cells of different sizes, with different PCR product clean up ratios ranging from 0.7 to 0.9, referred to as cellmix1 to cellmix4. For the cell mixture experiment, we also sorted wells with 10 times more cells (90 cells) to provide a pseudo bulk reference for each mixture (referred to as cellmix5). Distinct RNA mixtures which were diluted down to create single cell equivalents (ranging from 3.75, 7.5, 15 to 30 pg per well) were generated using CEL-seq2 and SORT-seq (referred to as RNAmix_CEL-seq2 and RNAmix_Sort-seq. This is the 9 cell mixture dataset.

Description
Follicular T helper cells (Tfh) are critical for providing help to B cells for germinal center (GC) formation. Mutations affecting SAP prevent GC formation due to defective T:B cell interactions, yet effects on Tfh cell differentiation remain unclear. We describe the in vitro differentiation of functionally competent Tfh-like cells that expressed IL-21, Tfh markers, and Bcl6, and rescued GC formation in SAP-deficient hosts substantially better than other T helper (Th) cells. SAP-deficient Tfh-like cells appeared virtually indistinguishable from wildtype, yet failed to support GCs in vivo. Interestingly, both Tfh-like and in vivo-derived Tfh cells could produce effector cytokines in response to polarizing conditions. Moreover, other Th cell populations could be reprogrammed to obtain Tfh characteristics. ChIP-Seq analyses revealed positive epigenetic markings on Tbx21, Gata3 and Rorc in Tfh-like and ex vivo Tfh cells, and Bcl6 in other Th cells, supporting the concept of plasticity between Tfh and other Th populations.
