The first dataset consists of nine gene perturbations with matched control samples (Almudevar et al., 2011 ); the second dataset is composed of two cell types and three treatments (Sampson et al., 2013 (link)); the third dataset is a study of the effect of p53 and/or Ras mutations on gene expression (McMurray et al., 2008 (link)).
In the first dataset, cells transformed to malignancy by mutant p53 and activated Ras are perturbed with the aim of restoring gene expression to levels found in non-transformed parental cells via retrovirus-mediated re-expression of corresponding cDNAs or shRNA-dependent stable knock-down. The data contain four to six replicates for each perturbation, and each perturbation has a corresponding control sample in which only the vector has been added (Almudevar et al., 2011 ).
The second dataset consists of two cell types—young adult mouse colon (YAMC) cells and mutant-p53/activated-Ras transformed YAMC cells—in combination with three treatments—untreated, sodium butyrate or valproic acid. Four replicates were performed for each cell-type/treatment combination (Sampson et al., 2013 (link)).
The third dataset is a comparison between four cell types—YAMC cells, mutant-p53 YAMC cells, activated-Ras YAMC cells and p53/Ras double mutant YAMC cells. Three replicates were performed for the untransformed YAMC cells, and four replicates were performed for each of the other cell types (McMurray et al., 2008 (link)).
As in the original publications, all three datasets were normalized to a reference gene, Becn1, with the resulting values denoted as ΔCt. In the first dataset, ΔΔCt values were computed by comparing each perturbed sample to its corresponding control sample. Additional details regarding each of these datasets can be found in the original publications.

All cell culture reagents were purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific unless otherwise noted. All cell lines were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 0.1 mg/ml streptomycin (D10). Cells were passaged by detachment with Trypsin-Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid 0.25%.
Lentiviral vectors were produced by transfection of 250 000 HEK 293T cells in a 6-well with 500 ng pMD-VSV-G (Addgene #12259), 1750 ng PsPax2 (Addgene # 12260) and 1750 ng of the LLP or derivative vector template, using 6 μg of Fugene 6 (Promega). Media was changed the next day, and the supernatant collected over the next 72 h. The collected media was pelleted at 300 × g for 4 min, and the supernatant was passed through a 0.45 μm filter. HEK293T cells, A549 cells, NIH3T3 cells and HT-29 cells were incubated with various dilutions of lentiviral supernatant ranging from 100 μl to 4 ml, and transduced cultures were visually confirmed to have been transduced at MOI clearly less than one. Cells were then incubated with 10 μg/ml of Blasticidin. After a week of selection, cells were assessed with a BD FACS Aria II for fluorescence, and individual BFP+ cells were sorted into separate wells of 96-well plates. Cell clones that grew out were transferred into a 24-well plate and subsequently transferred to 6-well plates for analysis. Cells were induced to express off of the Tet-inducible promoter by adding doxycycline to a final concentration of 2 μg/ml (D10-dox). Cells were also maintained in D10-dox unless otherwise noted.
HEK 293T-based cells were recombined by transfecting 250 000 HEK 293T cells in a 6-well plate, with 1500 ng of pCAG-NLS-Bxb1, and 1500 ng of either individual or a mixture of attB recombination plasmids, incubated with 6 μg of Fugene 6 reagent in doxycycline-free media. Two or more days following transfection, the media was changed to D10-dox media, and cells were assessed for recombination at least 2 days after. For recombination of A549 cells, 150 000 cells plated in a 6-well with 2 ml of media were transfected with a mixture of 3.75 μl Lipofectamine 3000 diluted in 125 μl OPTI-MEM, and 5 μg DNA with 10 μl P3000 reagent diluted in 125 μl OPTI-MEM. For recombination of 3T3 cells, 150 000 cells plated in a 6-well with 2 ml of media were transfected with a mixture of 7.5 μl Lipofectamine 3000 diluted in 125 μl OPTI-MEM and 5 μg DNA with 10 μl P3000 reagent diluted in 125 μl OPTI-MEM. Recombined cells were positively selected by growing the cells for a week in D10-dox media supplemented with the indicated amounts of hygromycin, puromycin or blasticidin (Invivogen). Cells were split and media replenished every 3 days. Recombined cells were negatively selected with the addition of 10 nM AP1903 / Rimiducid (MedChemExpress). Cells were maintained in AP1903 for 2 days. Sodium Butyrate (Sigma) was dissolved as a 0.5 M stock solution in H2O.

FV supernatants containing recombinant viral particles were generated essentially as described previously [51 (link),52 (link)]. Briefly, FV supernatants were produced by cotransfection of 293T cells with transfer vector (puc2MD9 or pMD11), Env- (pczHFVenvEM002), Pol - (pcziPol), and Gag packaging plasmid (pcoPG4 or PG mutants thereof as indicated) at a ratio of 4:4:4:1 using polyethyleneimine (PEI) or Polyfect transfection reagents. At 24 h posttransfection, sodium butyrate (final concentration, 10 mM) was added to the growth medium for 8 h. Subsequently, the medium was replaced, and viral supernatants were harvested an additional 16 h later. Lentiviral supernatants were generated by cotransfection of transfer vector (p6NST90), Gag/Pol packaging plasmid (pCD/NL-BH), and an Env packaging plasmid (pczVSV-G or pczPE01) at a ratio of 1:1:1 and harvested as described above.
Transductions of recombinant EGFP expressing PFV vector particles containing various PFV Gag proteins were performed by infection of 2 × 104 HT1080 cells, plated 24 h in advance in 12-well plates. For the infection 1 ml of the viral supernatant or dilutions thereof were incubated with the target cells for 4 to 6 h. The percentage of EGFP-positive cells was determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis 72 h after infection. All transduction experiments were performed three times, and in each independent experiment the values obtained with the wild-type construct pcoPG4 were arbitrarily set to 100%. Analysis of tissue tropism of different PFV vector particles or HIV-1 vector pseudotypes was performed on various target cell lines. Adherent target cells (HT1080, HeLa, mouseL, Sog9, Pac2), which were plated one day in advance at a density of 2 × 104 cells in 12-well plates, were infected with one ml of viral cell culture supernatant or dilutions thereof. Target cells growing in suspension (Jurkat, G1E-ER4) were infected by resuspending 1 × 105 target cells in one ml of viral cell culture supernatant or dilutions thereof. Afterwards they were transferred into a 6-well plate and either incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator or centrifuged for 1 h at 2000 rpm (30°C) before the incubation step. Sixteen hours later the viral cell culture supernatant was replaced for both types of target cells by fresh media and the transduction efficiency was determined by flow cytometry 72 - 96 h after infection as described above.

In this study, we found that in mdx mice, a validated preclinical model of DMD, the disease is associated with a significant alteration in the gut microbiota composition compared with healthy controls. Along with this alteration, the plasma of mdx mice showed a reduction in the levels of gut microbiota‐related metabolites, the short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and an elevation of those of endocannabinoids. Supplementation with the SCFA, sodium butyrate (NaB), rescued muscle strength and autophagy, and prevented inflammation associated with excessive endocannabinoid signaling at CB1 receptors to the same extent as deflazacort (DFZ), the standard palliative care for DMD. In C2C12 myoblasts stimulated with lipopolysaccharide, a pro‐inflammatory molecule derived from a malfunctioning gut microbiota, NaB exerted anti‐inflammatory effects, promoted autophagy, and prevented dysregulation of microRNAs that keep under negative control the CB1 receptor gene and did so in a manner depending on the activation of GPR109A and PPARγ receptors.
