Description
Brain metastasis represents a substantial source of morbidity and mortality in various cancers, and is characterized by high resistance to chemotherapy. Here we define the role of the most abundant cell type in the brain, the astrocyte, in brain metastasis. Cancer cells assemble of carcinoma-astrocyte gap junctions composed of connexin 43 (Cx43). Cx43 in cancer cells support brain metastatic colonization. We employ translating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) to isolate translating mRNA from cancer cells in mixed asrtocyte co-cultures to determine the mechanism behind this Cx43-mediated brain metastatic growth. Once engaged with the astrocyte gap-junctional network, brain metastatic cancer cells employ these channels to transfer the cytosolic dsDNA response messenger cGAMP to astrocytes, activating the cGAS-STING pathway and production of inflammatory cytokines IFNa and TNFa. As paracrine signals, these factors activate the STAT1 and NF-?B pathways in brain metastatic cells, which support tumour growth and chemoresistance. Overall design: TRAP mRNAs were isolated from MDA231-BrM2 (control or Cx43-depleted) after co-cultured with astrocytes. Gene expression profiles were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicate, using Illumina Illumina HiSeq 2000. Two independent replicates were done per condition (i.e. rep1 and rep2).

Description
We have found the existence of two independent populations contributing to the skin-resident macrophage pool based on their different origin. We have analyzed their gene profile by deep-sequencing (RNA-Seq). Analysis of RNA-Seq data revealed a differential expression signature between both subsets of skin macrophages for 744 of 17741 genes compiled (198 of them showing similar normalized expression levels across replicates). We have further characterized their specialized functions related to their different gene profiles. Overall design: Examination of gene profile of 2 different macrophage subsets coexisting in skin under steady state.

Description
Surface expression of the viral Envelope protein (Env) was used to enrich reactivated latent T cells producing HIV-RNA, and single cell RNASeq was performed to study gene expression differences between latent cells and controls. Overall design: Latent CD4+ T cells from virologically suppressed patients were reactivated in vitro and isolated using antibodies against HIV-1 Env. Single cell RNASeq was performed comparing reactivated latent cells with control, unpurified cells from the same donor and with cells actively infected in vitro using HIV-1(YU2).

Description
Sir2 is an NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase, and is the founding member of a large, phylogentically conserved, family of such deacetylases called the Sirtuins. The budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, harbors 4 paralogs of Sir2, known as Hst1, Hst2, Hst3, and Hst4. Reducing the intracellular NAD+ concentration is inhibitory for the Sirtuins, and raising the intracellular nicotinamide (NAM) concentration is inhibitory. Microarray gene expression analysis was used to identify novel classes of yeast genes whose expression is altered when either NAD+ concentration is reduced or NAM is elevated. A subset of genes involved in thiamine biosynthesis was identified as being upregulated when Sir2 or Hst1 was inactivated.
