Illumina HumanWG-6 v3.0 expression beadchip
Description
Gene expression profiling of 82 patients with cervical cancer was performed. The expression data were correlated with copy number alterations of the same patients, as assessed with array CGH in a separate study, in order to identify drivers of cervical cancer carcinogenesis.

Description
We identified LAMP3 as a key driver gene of anti-viral subnetwork genes in cervical cancer patients. Therefore we tested this prediction using an in vitro system. This is the first direct demonstration of LAMP3 regulatory role in interferon-dependent immune response.

Description
Homeostatic interactions between the host and its resident microbiota is important for normal physiological functions and if altered, it could lead to dysbiosis, a change in the structure and function of the microbiota, and as a result to various pathophysiologies. Altered structure in bacterial community is associated with various pathophysiologies, but we are just beginning to understand how these structural changes translate into functional changes. Environmental factors including pathogenic infections can lead to altered interactions between the host and its resident microbiota.

Description
The trophoblast cell lineage is specified as early as the blastocyst stage, leading to the individualization of trophectoderm from pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass. We used a double in vitro transcription mRNA amplification technique and compared trophectoderm with pluripotent stem cells.

Description
Recent technological advances in single-cell genomics make it possible to analyze cellular heterogeneity of tumor samples. Here, we applied single-cell RNA-seq to measure the transcriptomes of 307 single cells cultured from three biopsies of three different patients with a BRAF/NRAS wild type, BRAF mutant/NRAS wild type and BRAF wild type/NRAS mutant melanoma metastasis, respectively. Analysis based on self-organizing maps identified sub-populations defined by multiple gene expression modules involved in proliferation, oxidative phosphorylation, pigmentation and cellular stroma. Gene expression modules had prognostic relevance when compared with gene expression data from published melanoma samples and patient survival data. We surveyed kinome expression patterns across sub-populations of the BRAF/NRAS wild type sample and found that CDK4 and CDK2 were consistently highly expressed in the majority of cells, suggesting that these kinases might be involved in melanoma progression. Treatment of cells with the CDK4 inhibitor palbociclib restricted cell proliferation to a similar, and in some cases greater, extent than MAPK inhibitors. Finally, we identified a low abundant sub-population in this sample that highly expressed a module containing ABC transporter ABCB5, surface markers CD271 and CD133, and multiple aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs), as markers for melanoma stem or initiating cells. Patient-derived cultures of the BRAF mutant/NRAS wild type and BRAF wild type/NRAS mutant metastases showed more homogeneous single-cell gene expression patterns with gene expression modules for proliferation and ABC transporters. Taken together, our results describe an intertumor and intratumor heterogeneity in melanoma short-term cultures which might be relevant for patient survival, and suggest promising targets for new treatment approaches in melanoma therapy. Overall design: RNA-seq of 307 single cells cultured from three biopsies of three different patients with a BRAF/NRAS wild type, BRAF mutant/NRAS wild type and BRAF wild type/NRAS mutant melanoma metastasis, respectively.

Description
Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen that can be transmitted to humans causing severe symptoms. A large human outbreak was described in China, where approximately 25% out of 215 infected humans developed an unusual streptococcal toxic shock-like syndrome (STSLS). Albeit increased expression of inflammatory mediators following infection by the Chinese S. suis strain was suggested as responsible for STSLS case severity, the mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the host innate immune response to infection by either one of 3 strains of S. suis: 89-1591 (Canadian, intermediate virulence), P1/7 (European, high virulence), and SC84 (Chinese, epidemic strain). Using Illumina microarray and validating those results with qPCR and Luminex assay, infected mice showed elevated expression of mainly pro-inflammatory chemokine and cytokine genes. Generally, pro-inflammatory genes were expressed at a higher level in mice infected with S. suis strain SC84 > P1/7 > 89-1591. Interestingly, IFN was expressed at much higher levels only in mice infected with the S. suis strain SC84, which could potentially explain some of the STSLS symptoms. IFN-KO mice infected with SC84 showed better survival than WT mice while no differences was seen in mice infected with highly virulent P1/7 strain. Overall, our results show an important role of IFN in S. suis infections and might explain in part the increased virulence of SC84 responsible for a recent outbreak in China.
