Affymetrix Murine Genome U74A Version 2 Array (mgu74av2)
Description
Goal of experiment: Identification of differentially expressed immune genes from male and female BWF1 lupus-prone mice. (Female incidence is higher than male--attempting to find sex hormone regulated genes that may contribute to this difference). Whole spleen was taken from pre-lupus (4 months old) BWF1 (females are lupus-prone) male and female mice. Preparation of cDNA. Double-stranded cDNA was synthesized from purified RNA. The first strand was synthesized by incubating 5 g of RNA with 100 pg/ml T7-(dT)24 primer (HPLC purified DNA primer sequence: 5-GGCCAGTGAATTGTAATACG ACTCACTATAGGGAGGCGG-(dT)24 -3 Genset Corp, San Diego, CA) at 70C for 10 minutes. Samples were incubated for 1 hour at 42C with the following mix: 1X first strand buffer, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 500 M each dNTP, 200 U SuperScript II in diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC)-treated water up to 20 l. Second strand synthesis was performed by incubating the first strand with the following mix for 2 hours at 16C: 1X second strand reaction buffer, 200 M dntps, 10 U E. coli DNA ligase, 40 U E coli DNA Polymerase I, 2 U of E. coli RNase H up to 150 l with DEPC-treated water (all reagents were contained in SuperScript Choice System for cDNA Synthesis, Invitrogen). A phenol/chloroform extraction was performed on the ds-cDNA preparation before biotin-labeled cRNA was generated. Synthesis and fragmentation of biotin-labeled cRNA (in vitro transcription). The ENZO BioArrayTM HighYieldTM RNA Transcript Labeling Kit (T7) (Enzo diagnostics, Inc., Farmingdale, NY) was used to produce large amounts of hybridizable biotin-labeled RNA targets by in vitro transcription from the ds-cDNA. The following mix was incubated at 37C for 5 hours: 1 g of ds-cDNA, 1X HY reaction buffer, 1X biotin labeled ribonucleotides, 1X dithiothreitol, 1X T7 RNA Polymerase. Biotin-labeled cRNA was run over RNeasy spin columns (Qiagen), quantified, and run on an agarose gel to visualize the size distribution of labeled transcripts. Twenty micrograms of cRNA was incubated with 1X fragmentation buffer for 35 minutes at 94C. (5X fragmentation buffer: 200 mM Tris-acetate, pH 8.1, 500 mM KOAc, 150 mM MgOAc). After fragmentation, the samples were stored at -20C until the hybridization was performed. Sample hybridization. Oligonucleotide microarrays (MGU74v2 A, B, and C GeneChip probe arrays; Affymetrix) were hybridized with labeled cRNA derived from spleens from individual mice. For each array,15 g of fragmented cRNA was mixed with a hybridization cocktail consisting of 1X hybridization buffer (2X hybridization buffer: 100 mM MES, 1 M [Na+], 20 mM EDTA, 0.01% Tween), 0.5 mg/ml acetylated BSA (Invitrogen), 0.1 mg/ml herring sperm DNA (Promega), and water (BioWhittaker) up to 300 l). Biotin labeled cRNA transcripts of the E. coli and P1 bacteriophage genes, BioB, bioC, bioD, and cre (GeneChip Eukaryotic Hybridization control kit, Affymetrix) were spiked into each hybridization mix at 1.5, 5, 25, and 100 pM to evaluate sample hybridization efficiency for each array. The hybridization cocktail was heated to 99C and then 45C for 5 minutes each before it was centrifuged to remove any insoluble material. The array was equilibrated to room temperature, moistened with 1X hybridization buffer, and incubated for 10 minutes at 45C with rotation. After incubation, the buffer solution was removed from the array. The array was filled with 300 l of the hybridization cocktail, placed in a rotisserie box in a 45C oven, and incubated for 16 hours while rotating at 60 rpm. Washing and staining of array. The hybridization cocktail was removed and the GeneChip Fluidics Station 400 (Affymetrix) with Microarray Suite software (Affymetrix) was used to wash and stain the probe arrays with the following protocol: 10 cycles of 2 mixes/cycle with wash buffer A at 25C, 4 cycles of 15 mixes/cycle with wash buffer B at 50C, 30 minute incubation with staining solution at 25C, 10 cycles of 4 mixes/cycle with wash buffer A at 25C. Wash buffer A -- non-stringent wash buffer (6X sodium chloride sodium phosphate + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (SSPE), 0.01% Tween-20). (20X SSPE: 3 M NaCl, 0.2 M NaH2PO4, 0.02 EDTA) (BioWhittaker). Wash buffer B stringent wash buffer (100mM MES, 0.1 M [Na+], 0.1% Tween 20). Staining solution (1X 2-(N-Morpholino)ethanesulfonic Acid (MES) stain buffer, 2 mg/ml acetylated BSA, 10 g/ml Streptavidin Phycoerythrin (SAPE), and water up to 600 l). (12X MES stain buffer: 1.22 M MES, 0.89 M [Na+]). Analysis. After staining, the probe arrays were scanned using the GeneChip 3000 Scanner (Affymetrix) with Microarray Suite software (Affymetrix). Technical and assay variation between arrays was corrected for by multiplying or dividing the overall intensity of each array by a scaling factor so that the overall intensity of each array was equivalent to facilitate comparison analysis.

Description
The concept of tumor stem cells (TSCs) provides a new paradigm for understanding tumor biology, although it remains unclear whether TSCs will prove to be a more robust model than traditional cancer cell lines. We demonstrate marked phenotypic and genotypic differences between primary human tumor-derived TSCs and their matched glioma cell lines. TSCs derived directly from primary glioblastomas harbor extensive similarities to normal NSC and recapitulate the genotype, gene expression patterns and in vivo biology of human glioblastomas. By contrast, the matched, traditionally grown tumor cell lines do not secondary to in vitro genomic alterations. These findings suggest that TSCs may be a more reliable model than many commonly utilized cancer cell lines for understanding the biology of primary human tumors. Analysis of gene expression data is described in Lee et al., Cancer Cell, 2006.

Description
Gliomas are mostly incurable secondary to their diffuse infiltrative nature. Thus, specific therapeutic targeting of invasive glioma cells is an attractive concept. As cells exit the tumor mass and infiltrate brain parenchyma, they closely interact with a changing micro-environmental landscape that sustains tumor cell invasion.

Illumina HiSeq 2500
Description
Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise three groups of recently identified tissue resident immune cell lineages that play critical roles in protective immune responses and tissue homeostasis. While significant progress has been made in defining the key protein mediators of ILC development and function, how cis-acting epigenetic regulatory elements or long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate ILCs is unknown. Herein, we describe a cis-regulatory element demarcated by a novel lncRNA that controls the maturation, function and lineage identity of group 1 ILCs while being dispensable for early ILC development and homeostasis of mature ILC2s and ILC3s. We named this ILC1-restricted lncRNA Rroid. The Rroid locus controls the functional specification and lineage identity of ILC1 by promoting chromatin accessibility and STAT5 deposition at the promoter of its neighboring gene, Id2, in response to the ILC1-specific cytokine IL-15. Overall design: RNA-seq for gene expression in mouse NK cells

Description
We developed a computational framework that integrates chromosomal copy number and gene expression data for detecting aberrations that promote cancer progression. We demonstrate the utility of this framework using a melanoma dataset. Our analysis correctly identified known drivers of melanoma and predicted multiple novel tumor dependencies. Two dependencies, TBC1D16 and RAB27A, confirmed empirically, suggest that abnormal regulation of protein trafficking contributes to proliferation in melanoma. Together, these results demonstrate the ability of integrative Bayesian approaches to identify novel candidate drivers with biological, and possibly therapeutic, importance in cancer.
