Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-MTAB-2164 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Investigation Title Eum2 Comment[Submitted Name] Eum2 Experiment Description The low immunogenicity of many cancer cells and the immunosuppression by various cancers and anti-cancer therapies have been an obstacle in the development of efficacious immunotherapies. Our goal was to test if TLR agonists and anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agents synergize in rendering tumor cells more immunogenic.

EuM2 or BC2 cells (1.6 x 105/ml) were treated with 0.1% DMSO or 1 uM Ara-C (Sigma) for 16 hrs. For the combination treatment, the cells were treated with 1 ug/ml Pam3CSK4 (Invivogen) or endotoxin-free water used for dissolving Pam3CSK4 for 16 hrs followed by 1 uM Ara-C or DMSO for 16 hrs. Total RNA of treated EuM2 cells was extracted using RNeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The quality of total RNA was evaluated using Agilent Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, USA); only samples with RNA integrity number >7.5 were analyzed. RNA of four different treatments were hybridized to two microarrays each. Labeling was conducted as per the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina). EuM2_Ara-C_Pam3CSK4.txt Scanning were conducted as per the manufacturer's instructions (Illumina). Expression levels were extracted with Affymetrix GeneChip Command Console (AGCC). Arrays were normalized to DMSO samples using the robust multi-array average method and filtered to remove non-informative probes.
