Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST Array (hugene10st)
Description
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is activated during cancer invasion and metastasis, enriches for cancer stem cells (CSCs), and contributes to therapeutic resistance and disease recurrence. The epithelial cell line MCF7, can be induced to undergo EMT with the induction of PKC by PMA. 5-10% of the resulting cells have a CSC phenotype. This study looks at the transcriptome of these cells and how it differs from cells with a non-CSC phenotype.

Description
Early innate lymphoid progenitors (EILP) have recently been identified in the mouse adult bone marrow as a multipotential progenitor population committed to ILC lineages, but their relationship with other described ILC progenitors is still unclear. In this study, we examine the progenitor-successor relationships between EILP, IL-7R+ common lymphoid progenitors (ALP), and ILC precursors (ILCp). Bioinformatic, phenotypical, functional, and genetic approaches collectively establish EILP as an intermediate progenitor between ALP and ILCp. Our work additionally provides new candidate regulators of ILC development and clearly defines the stage of requirement of transcription factors key for early ILC development. Overall design: transcriptional profiling of early ILC progenitors (EILP, ILCp), and common lymphoid progenitors (ALP) was performed by RNA sequencing

Description
Despite the frequent detection of circulating tumor antigen-specific T cells, either spontaneously or following active immunization or adoptive transfer, immune-mediated cancer regression occurs only in the minority of patients. One theoretical rate-limiting step is whether effector T cells successfully migrate into metastatic tumor sites. Affymetrix gene expression profiling performed on a series of metastatic melanoma biopsies revealed a major segregation of samples based on the presence or absence of T cell-associated transcripts. The presence of lymphocytes correlated with the expression of defined chemokine genes. A subset of 6 chemokines (CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL9, and CXCL10) was confirmed by protein array and/or quantitative RT-PCR to be preferentially expressed in tumors that contained T cells. Corresponding chemokine receptors were found to be upregulated on human CD8+ effector T cells, and transwell migration assays confirmed the ability of each of these chemokines to promote migration of CD8+ effector cells in vitro. Screening by chemokine protein array identified a subset of melanoma cell lines produced a similar broad array of chemokines. These melanoma cells more effectively recruited human CD8+ effector T cells when implanted as xenografts in NOD/scid mice in vivo. Chemokine blockade with specific antibodies inhibited migration of CD8+ T cells. Our results suggest that lack of critical chemokines in a subset of melanoma metastases may limit the migration of activated T cells, which in turn could limit the effectiveness of anti-tumor immunity.

Description
TFH and Th1 cells generated after viral or intracellular bacterial infections are critical for the control of infections and the development of immunological memories. However, the mechanisms that govern the choice of activated CD4 T cells to the two alternative fates remain unclear. Here, we found that reciprocal expression of TCF1 and Blimp1 between viral-specific TFH and Th1 cells started early after infection. TCF1 was intrinsically required for the differentiation of TFH cells. In the absence of TCF1, TFH cells failed to maintain their transcriptional and metabolic signatures, distinct from those in Th1 cells. Mechanistically, TCF1 functioned through forming negative feedback loops with IL-2 and Blimp1 signaling. Thus, we have demonstrated an essential role of TCF1 in TFH-cell differentiation.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
The recently released Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST array has two major differences compared with standard 3' based arrays: (1) it interrogates the entire mRNA transcript, and (2) it uses cDNA targets. To assess the impact of these differences on array performance, we performed series of comparative hybridizations between the Human Gene 1.0 ST and the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 and the Illumina HumanRef-8 BeadChip arrays. Additionally, both cRNA and cDNA targets were probed on the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 array. The results show that the overall reproducibility is best using the Gene 1.0 ST array. When looking only at the high intensity probes, the reproducibility of the Gene 1.0 ST array and the Illumina BeadChip array is equally good. Concordance of array results was assessed using different inter-platform mappings. The Gene 1.0 ST is most concordant with the HG-U133 array hybridized with cDNA targets, thus showing the impact of the target type. Agreements are better between platforms with designs which choose probes from the 3' end of the gene. Overall, the high degree of correspondence provides strong evidence for the reliability of the Gene 1.0 ST array.

Description
We recently reported that single-cell derived isogenic subclones of SKMEL5 cells have differential initial sensitivity to BRAF-inhibitors. In order to probe differences among these subclones, we selected three subclones with unique drug responses: progressing (SK-MEL-5 SC10), stationary (SK-MEL-5 SC07), and regressing (SK-MEL-5 SC01) and performed RNASeq. This study examines differentially expressed genes (DEGs) among the subclones to identify the molecular basis for initial differences in drug sensitivity. Overall design: Transcriptomics analysis between single-cell derived isogenic subclones of BRAF-mutated melanoma cell line, SK-MEL-5

Description
Expression profiling of mRNA abundance in the adult mouse olfactory epithelium during replacement of OSNs forced by the bilateral ablation of the olfactory bulbs. The experiment was done on 6 week old male C57Bl/6 mice. Olfactory epithelium tissue samples were collected on days 1, 5, and 7 after bulbectomy. The cellular processes activated by bulbectomy include apoptosis of mature olfactory sensory neurons, infiltration of macrophages and dendritic cells, stimulation of proliferation of basal cell progenitors, and differentation of new sensory neurons.

Description
Introduction: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) represents a key downstream intermediate for a myriad of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases. In the case of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway, the mTOR complex (mTORC1) mediates IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R)-induced estrogen receptor alpha (ERa) phosphorylation/activation and leads to increased proliferation and growth in breast cancer cells. As a result, the prevalence of mTOR inhibitors combined with hormonal therapy has increased in recent years. Conversely, activated mTORC1 provides negative feedback regulation of IGF signaling via insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1/2 serine phosphorylation and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Thus, the IGF pathway may provide escape (e.g. de novo or acquired resistance) from mTORC1 inhibitors. It is therefore plausible that combined inhibition of mTORC1 and IGF-1R for select subsets of ER-positive breast cancer patients presents as a viable therapeutic option. Methods: Using hormone-sensitive breast cancer cells stably transfected with the aromatase gene (MCF-7/AC-1), works presented herein describe the in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy of the following compounds: dalotuzumab (DALO; “MK-0646”; anti-IGF-1R antibody), ridaforolimus (RIDA; “MK-8669”; mTORC1 small molecule inhibitor) and letrozole (“LET”, aromatase inhibitor). Results: With the exception of MK-0646, all single agent and combination treatment arms effectively inhibited xenograft tumor growth, albeit to varying degrees. Correlative tissue analyses revealed MK-0646 alone and in combination with LET induced insulin receptor alpha A (InsR-A) isoform upregulation (both mRNA and protein expression), thereby further supporting a triple therapy approach. Conclusion: These data provide preclinical rationalization towards the combined triple therapy of LET plus MK-0646 plus MK-8669 as an efficacious anti-tumor strategy for ER-positive breast tumors. Overall design: 46 samples, 28 days post treatment
