The messenger RNA expression values were obtained from the RNA sequencing performed on the hESC-RGC.12 (link) Briefly, the BRN3B-H9 reporter hESCs were differentiated to RGCs for 40 days on neural induction media.12 (link) On day 40 of differentiation, two independent batches of BRN3B-tdTomato+ RGCs were purified using magnetic activated cell sorting.12 (link) RNA was extracted from the purified RGC population using RNAeasy plus kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Complementary DNA synthesis was performed using SuperScript III Synthesis SuperMix (Thermo Fischer Scientific), and a complementary library was prepared using the Nextera DNA Library Preparation Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Libraries were then multiplexed and sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq with 76 bp paired end reads to an average depth of approximately 8 million paired end reads per sample. Reads were aligned to Gencode Release 24 (GRCh38.p5) using HISAT2 (v2.0.1-beta).29 (link) Cuffquant and Cuffnorm (Cufflinks v2.2.1) were used to quantify expression levels and to calculate normalized fragments per kilobase million values.30 (link)

Virus Inoculation and Transcriptome Analysis in LA4 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Our experimental approach was to inoculate LA4 cells with the three viruses at times t = 0 h and t = 12 h and harvest RNA for microarray analysis at t = 24 h. Controls were mock-inoculated at both time points. Preliminary experiments were done to establish the growth kinetics of each virus and determine a multiplicity of infection (MOI) that resulted in comparable numbers of cells positive for viral antigen at 24 h post-infection (S1 Fig). Based on this, LA4 cells were inoculated with 3 TCID50/cell RV, 1 PFU/cell PR8, or 3 PFU/cell MHV. Triplicate wells of LA4 cells in 6-well plates were inoculated with each virus diluted in serum-free medium or were mock-inoculated with serum-free medium for 1 h at 37°C. Viral inocula were removed and the cells were rinsed twice with serum-free medium. The cells were incubated in Ham's F12K medium with 2% FBS until the 24 h time point at which time RNA was isolated from cell cultures using an RNAeasy Plus kit (QIAGEN) and transcript levels were measured by microarray (NimbleGen Mus musculus MM9 Expression Array). For the 24 h samples, the media were removed and replaced with fresh media 12 h after inoculation, which is the same time that 12 h samples were inoculated. Raw and processed data are available from NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus under accession number GSE89190.

RNA was isolated from RNAp preserved blood samples using the Qiagen RNAeasy Plus kit that includes a gDNA eliminator column (Qiagen, Germany) per the manufacturer’s instructions. After determination of the RNA concentration using a NanoDrop ND spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, USA), the isolated nucleic acid was treated to remove residual DNA with a DNA-free kit (Ambion, Life Technologies, USA). The treated RNA was then transcribed to cDNA with the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Germany) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Total RNA was extracted with the RNAeasy Plus kit (QIAGEN) and
reversely transcribed using IScript kit (Biorad). Quantitative RT-PCR
(qRT-PCR) was performed with iTaq Universal SYBR Green Supermix (Biorad) on
a Biorad CFX96 machine. Expression data were normalized to

RNA-Seq Analysis of Synergistic Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was purified using the RNAeasy Plus Kit (QIAGEN). RNA concentration and integrity was verified using Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). Libraries were generated using Illumina’s TruSeq RNA sample Prep Kit v2, following the manufacturer’s protocol. 2×75 bp paired-end sequencing were performed on the HiSeq4000 sequencer. Raw RNA-Seq data was aligned to the Human reference genome (Version hg19 from UCSC) using the STAR (V 2.4.2) aligner28 . Aligned reads were quantified against the reference annotation (hg19 from UCSC) to obtain Fragments per Kilobase per million (FPKM) and raw counts using Cufflinks(v 2.2.1) and HTseq, respectively29 (link),30 . Differential expression was performed on raw counts with the limma package in R31 (link). Principal Component analysis (PCA) was performed on the log2 transformed FPKM expression values in R statistical software. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was performed using software from Broad Institute. Genes were ranked by the t-statistic value and used to identify significantly enriched biological pathways. Differential expression was performed and expression profiles of synergistic (EOB>20) vs. non-synergistic (EOB<20) cell lines were compared.

An RNA easy® Plus Kit (74134, Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used to isolate RNA following the manufacturer’s instructions. The RNA quality control was performed as well as library preparation through TruSeqHT Stranded mRNA (Illumina). An Illumina HiSeq 4000 System using the 100 bp single-end reads protocol was applied for the sequencing experiments. A quality control was added with FastQC v.0.11.5. The reads were aligned to the human genome (UCSC hg38) using STAR v.2.5.3a software [45 (link)]. With PicardTools v.2.9.0, the biological quality control was incorporated and the HTSeq v.0.9.1 was utilized for raw count acquisition [45 (link)]. Normalization and differential expression analysis were performed using the R/Bioconductor package edgeR v.3.24.3 [46 (link)]. A general linear model, negative binomial distribution, and quasi-likelihood F test were applied to assed the statistical significance. Genes with a fold change >2 and p-value < 0.05 (with a false discovery rate of 5%) were considered differentially expressed.
Genes up- and downregulated after ODC treatment were analyzed according to the gene ontology enrichment analysis in Enrichr [47 ]. The RNA-Seq data have been deposited in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus [48 ] with GEO Series accession GSE174740.
