Three biological replicates were sequenced per condition. Total RNA was extracted from cells using a RNeasy Plus RNA extraction kit (Qiagen, 74136). An on-column DNase digest (Qiagen, 79254) was performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol.

Reads were trimmed using Trimmomatic v0.32 [56 (link)] and aligned to the human genome (GRCh37, hg19, RefSeq transcript annotation) using STAR v2.3.0 [64 (link)]. Gene expression counts were obtained using featureCounts v1.6.2 [62 (link)] and differentially expressed genes were identified using DESeq2 v1.14.1 using FDR < 0.05 [63 (link)]. For results from the lapatinib treatment timecourse, differentially expressed genes were filtered to remove genes in which no timepoint had an FPKM value > 1. Metascape [65 (link)] was used for gene ontology analysis of differentially expressed genes. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis [66 (link)] was used to predict upstream regulators.
Patient tumour samples in the OCCAMS dataset expressing ERBB2 at high levels (ERBB2HIGH) were defined by ERBB2 expression levels greater than the median +2 SD.

To measure relative gene expression by qRT-PCR, total cellular RNA was isolated using RNeasy Plus RNA extraction kit (QIAGEN). Approximately 400–2000ng RNA was normalized across samples and cDNA was generated using the High Capacity cDNA RT kit (Applied Biosystems). cDNA was then subjected to qPCR using Fast SYBR Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) and primers as indicated on the ViiA7 Real Time PCR system (Life Technologies). Three technical replicates were performed for each biological sample, and expression values of each replicate were normalized against GAPDH cDNA using the 2−ΔΔCt method. For relative expression (fold), control samples were centered at 1; for relative expression (%), control samples were centered at 100%. mtDNA copy number analysis was performed as described using primers specific to nuclear Tert and the D-loop region of mtDNA (listed in Extended Data Table 1)6 (link). Relative HSV-1 genome abundance was determined using primers specific for nuclear Tert and HSV-1 UL30 or TK. Relative MHV68 genome abundance was determined using primers specific for nuclear Tert and MHV68 ORF40. Relative Vaccinia genome abundance was determined using primers specific for nuclear Tert and VV DNApol E9L.

Total RNA was extracted using an RNeasy Plus RNA extraction kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and 2 µg of total RNA was added in a reverse-transcription reaction to generate the first strand of cDNA using a High-capacity cDNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystem, Waltham, MA, USA). The synthesized cDNA was then subjected to qRT-PCR with the following primers (MFRN1: Forward 5′- TAG CCA ACG GGA TAG CTG G -3′; Reverse 5′- GTG GTG TAG CTC CGG TAG AAG -3′; 18S: Forward 5′- ACC CGT TGA ACC CCA TTC GTG A -3′; Reverse 5′- GCC TCA CTA AAC CAT CCA ATC GG -3′). The mRNA expression level of 18S rRNA served as an internal standard control.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
