Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
To analyze target genes of human heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1), we first generated two independent HeLa clones (RDT1 and RDT2) expressing an actively mutated hHSF1 (hHSF1RDT), which lacks the regulatory domain that masks its activation domain and possesses a glutamic acid at amino acid 395 instead of a leucine in the suppression domain of the trimerization domain (Fujimoto et al., J. Biol. Chem. 280, 34908-34916, 2005). We also generated a HeLa clone expressing chicken HSF1 (HeLa/cHSF1) to compare its profile of gene expression with those of RDT1 and RDT2 cells (Nakai and Morimoto, Mol. Cell. Biol. 13, 1983-1997, 1993). We then carried out DNA microarray analysis using total RNA isolated from HeLa, HeLa/cHSF1, RDT1, and RDT2 cells grown under normal growth conditions.

Description
Transcription factor access to regulatory elements is prevented by the nucleosome. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) is a winged helix transcription factor that plays roles in control and stressed conditions by gaining access to target elements, but mechanisms of HSF1 access have not been well known in mammalian cells. We show a physical interaction between the wing motif of human HSF1 and replication protein A (RPA), which is involved in DNA metabolism. Depletion of RPA1 abolishes HSF1 access to the promoter of HSP70 in unstressed conditions, and delays its rapid activation in response to heat shock. The HSF1-RPA complex leads preloading of RNA polymerase II and opens chromatin structure by recruiting a histone chaperone FACT. Furthermore, this interaction is required for melanoma cell proliferation. These results provide a mechanistic basis for constitutive HSF1 access to nucleosomal DNA, which is important for both basal and inducible gene expression.

NextSeq 500
Description
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play a fundamental role in cancer progression. However, in mice, limited blood volume and the rarity of CTCs in the bloodstream preclude longitudinal, in-depth studies of these cells using existing liquid biopsy techniques. Here, we present an optofluidic system that continuously collects fluorescently-labeled CTCs from a genetically-engineered mouse model for several hours per day over multiple days or weeks. The system is based on a microfluidic cell-sorting chip connected serially to an un-anesthetized mouse via an implanted arteriovenous shunt. Pneumatically-controlled microfluidic valves capture CTCs as they flow through the device and CTC-depleted blood is returned back to the mouse via the shunt. To demonstrate the utility of our system, we profile CTCs isolated longitudinally from animals over a four-day treatment with the BET inhibitor JQ1 using single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) and show that our approach eliminates potential biases driven by inter-mouse heterogeneity that can occur when CTCs are collected across different mice. The CTC isolation and sorting technology presented here provides a research tool to help reveal details of how CTCs change over time, allowing studies to credential changes in CTCs as biomarkers of drug response and facilitating future studies to understand the role of CTCs in metastasis. Overall design: Single-cell RNA-Sequencing of CTCs and primary tumors from a murine model of non-small cell-lung cancer

- Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (mouse4302)
Description
To clarify inflammatory genes whose expression is suppressed at high temperatures, we performed comprehensive analysis of gene expression by using a DNA microarray. Two independent primary cultures of mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF1 and MEF2) were treated with LPS for 4 hours, or treated with LPS for 4 hours after the pretreatment with heat shock at 42C for 1 hour, and we identified 100 genes that undergo more than a 3-fold increase with LPS treatment. Remarkably, 86 genes (86%) underwent less than a 2-fold increase after combined treatments with heat shock and LPS in MEF1 and MEF2 cells.

- Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (hgu133plus2)
Description
Homeostatic programs maintain equilibrium between immune protection, and selftolerance. Such mechanisms impact autoimmunity and tumor formation, respectively. How tissue homeostasis is maintained, and impacts tumor surveillance is unknown. Here we identify that mononuclear phagocytes share conserved programming during homeostatic differentiation, and entry into tissue. IFN is necessary and sufficient to induce these transcripts, revealing a key instructive role. Remarkably, homeostatic and IFN-dependent programs enrich across primary human tumors, including melanoma, and stratify metastatic melanoma survival. Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals enrichment of these modules in monocytes and DCs in human metastatic melanoma. Suppressor-of-cytokine-2 (SOCS2), a highly conserved transcript in this program is induced by IFN, and expressed in mononuclear phagocytes infiltrating primary melanoma. SOCS2 limits DC adaptive anti-tumoral immunity and T cell priming in vivo, indicating a critical regulatory role. Our findings link homeostasis in peripheral tissue to anti-tumoral immunity and escape, revealing coopting of tissue-specific immune development in the tumor microenvironment.

- Affymetrix Cotton Genome Array (cotton)
Description
Cotton is one of the most commercially important Fiber crops in the world and used as a source for natural textile Fiber and cottonseed oil. The fuzzless-lintless ovules of cotton mutants are ideal source for identifying genes involved in Fiber development by comparing with Fiber bearing ovules of wild-type. To decipher molecular mechanisms involved in Fiber cell development, transcriptome analysis has been carried out by comparing G. hirsutum cv. MCU5 (wild-type) with its fuzzless-lintless mutant (MUT). Cotton bolls were collected at Fiber initiation (0 dpa/days post anthesis), elongation (5, 10 and 15 dpa) and secondary cell wall synthesis stage (20 dpa) and gene expression profiles were analyzed in wild-type and MUT using Affymetrix cotton GeneChip Genome array.
