  • Supplementary Information Supplementary Note
    Supplementary Information Supplementary Note Bulk RNA Sequencing and Data Processing: Total RNAs from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 8/9) of 208 brains from the FHS/BUADC study were extracted using the Promega Maxwell RSC simplyRNA Tissue Kit (Cat No# AS1340) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The integrity and quality of RNA (RNA integrity number, RIN) was determined using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer with RNA 600 Nano Chips (Cat No# 5067-1511). After excluding brain samples with RIN < 5, brain samples were randomized into seven library batches based on diagnosis, APOE genotype, sex, and RIN. Since there were only seven samples from AD cases with APOE genotypes 2/2 or 2/3, these specimens were included in batches 1 to 3 only. The BU Microarray & Sequencing Resource Core performed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) library preparation. The libraries were prepared from total RNA enriched for mRNA using NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module and NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Preparation Kit for Illumina (New England Biolabs, USA) and sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 instrument (Illumina, USA). A total of 193 of the 208 samples remained for mapping after pre-processing. The average coverage of the remaining samples was 50 million reads for the entire sample. RNA-seq data from 193 FHS/BUADC brains were processed by our automated pipeline. We conducted quality control of the RNA-seq data for sequencing quality, over-abundance of adaptors, and over-represented sequence using the FastQC. Low-quality reads (5% of the total) were filtered out using the Trimmomatic option, which is a fast, multithreaded command line tool to trim and crop Illumina (FASTQ) data and remove adapters 1.

A long asymptomatic period and limited treatment options result in a high rate of liver failure, generally resulting in either organ transplant or mortality. The underlying molecular mechanisms of injury are not well understood and effective therapy is limited. Identification of previously unknown genetic risk factors would provide new mechanistic insights and new therapeutic targets for APAP induced hepatocyte toxicity or liver injury. This study used a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen to evaluate genes that are protective against or cause susceptibility to APAP-induced liver injury. HuH7 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells containing CRISPR/Cas9 gene knockouts were treated with 15mM APAP for 30 minutes to 4 days. A gene expression profile was developed based on the 1) top screening hits, 2) overlap with gene expression data of APAP overdosed human patients, and 3) biological interpretation including assessment of known and suspected iii APAP-associated genes and their therapeutic potential, predicted affected biological pathways, and functionally validated candidate genes.

Eichhof4, Phil F. Cheng4, Reinhard Dummer4, Mitchell P. Levesque4, Christopher Gerner2 and Verena Paulitschke1,4* Abstract Background: MAP kinase inhibitor (MAPKi) therapy for BRAF mutated melanoma is characterized by high response rates but development of drug resistance within a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 9–12 months. Under- standing mechanisms of resistance and identifying efective therapeutic alternatives is one of the most important scientifc challenges in melanoma. Using proteomics, we want to specifcally gain insight into the pathophysiological process of cerebral metastases. Methods: Cerebral metastases from melanoma patients were initially analyzed by a LC–MS shotgun approach per- formed on a QExactive HF hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometer. For further validation steps after bioinfor- matics analysis, a targeted LC-QQQ-MS approach, as well as Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunocyto- chemistry was performed. Results: In this pilot study, we were able to identify 5977 proteins by LC–MS analysis (data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifer PXD007592). Based on PFS, samples were classifed into good responders (PFS 6 months) and poor responders (PFS ≤ 3 months). By evaluating these proteomic profles according to gene ontology≥ (GO) terms, KEGG pathways and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA), we could characterize diferences between the two distinct groups. We detected an EMT feature (up-regulation of N-cadherin) as classifer between the two groups, V-type proton ATPases, cell adhesion proteins and several transporter and exchanger proteins to be signifcantly up-regulated in poor responding patients, whereas good responders showed an immune activation, among other features.
