Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
mRNA profiles of thousands of human tumors are available, but methods to deduce oncogenic signaling networks from these data lag behind. It is especially challenging to identify main-regulatory routes, and to generalize conclusions obtained from experimental models. We designed the bioinformatic platform R2 in parallel with a wet-lab approach of neuroblastoma. Here we demonstrate how R2 facilitates an integrated analysis of our neuroblastoma data. Analysis of the MYCN pathway suggested important regulatory connections to the polyamine synthesis route, the Notch pathway and the BMP/TGF pathway. A network of genes emerged connecting major oncogenes in neuroblastoma. Genes in the network carried strong prognostic values and were essential for tumor cell survival.

Description
Gene expression studies are used to help identify disease-associated genes, by comparing the levels of expressed transcripts between cases and controls, and to identify functional genetic variants known as expression quantitative loci (eQTLs). While many of these studies are performed in blood or lymphoblastoid cell lines due to tissue accessibility, the relevance of expression differences in tissues that are not the primary site of disease is unclear. Further, many eQTLs are tissue specific. Thus, there is a clear and compelling need to conduct gene expression studies in tissues that are specifically relevant to the disease of interest. One major technical concern about using autopsy-derived tissue is how representative it is of physiologic conditions, given the effect of postmortem interval on tissue degradation.
Publication Title
Postmortem cardiac tissue maintains gene expression profile even after late harvesting.

Description
In order to examine the consequences of human miR-34a induction on the transcriptome, HCT116 cells (a colon cancer cell line) were infected with a retrovirus that produces miR-34a. Gene expression profiles were then monitored using Affymetrix microarrays.
Publication Title
Transactivation of miR-34a by p53 broadly influences gene expression and promotes apoptosis.

Description
Abstract: Colonic cancers with a serrated morphology have been proposed to comprise a molecularly distinct tumor entity following an alternative pathway of genetic alterations independently of APC mutations. Here we demonstrate that intestinal cell specific expression of oncogenic K-rasG12D in mice induces serrated hyperplasia, which is characterized by p16ink4a overexpression and induction of senescence. Deletion of Ink4a/Arf in K-rasG12D expressing mice prevents senescence and leads to invasive, metastasizing carcinomas with morphological and molecular alterations comparable to human KRAS mutated serrated tumors. Thus, we suggest that oncogenic K-ras is sufficient to initiate an alternative, serrated pathway to colorectal cancer and hence propose RAS-RAF-MEK signaling apart from APC as an additional gatekeeper in colorectal tumor development.

NextSeq 500
Description
This scRNA-seq experiment is an integral part of a manuscript with the above title. Our analysis of the scRNA-seq data suggests that activated CARD11 promotes immunoglobulin class-switching in germinal center B cells and generation of IgG1-secreting plasma cells. Overall design: Single-cell suspensions were prepared from spleens harvested from mice 5 days post immunization with sheep red blood cells. B cells were enriched using an immunomagnetic negative selection kit. scRNA-seq was performed using the Chromium product suite by 10x Genomics.
Publication Title
Activated CARD11 accelerates germinal center kinetics, promoting mTORC1 and terminal differentiation.

Description
Depending on the tumor type IB kinase (IKK) can act as tumor promoter or tumor suppressor in various malignancies. Here we demonstrate a key function of IKK in the suppression of a tumoricidal microenvironment during intestinal carcinogenesis. Mice deficient in IKK kinase activity are largely protected from intestinal tumor development that is dependent on the enhanced recruitment of IFN expressing M1-like myeloid cells. In IKK mutant mice M1-like polarization is not controlled in a cell autonomous manner but depends rather on the interplay of both IKK mutant tumor epithelia and immune cells.
Publication Title
IKKα promotes intestinal tumorigenesis by limiting recruitment of M1-like polarized myeloid cells.
