• Molecular response of AML blasts to Aza-treatment.

  Azacytidine (Aza) treatment is effective in some patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Clinical observations suggest that DNMT3A-mutant patients represent a subgroup of AML patients that responds particularly well to Aza-treatment. Data coming from a mouse model support this finding and we have already generated molecular data suggesting a molecular pathway involved in Aza-response in DNMT3A-mutant AML patients. We now aim to validate these findings in primary AML-blasts. To this end, we have FACS-sorted blasts from patients with AML prior to and under Aza-treatment and plan to correlate pre-treatment as well as on-treatment methylomes to clinical Aza-response.

• Neutrophils infected with Leishmania donovani

  In the context of studying visceral leishmaniasis, neutrophils infected with Leishmania donovani have been compared to uninfected neutrophils. Compared time points are 0, 6 and 24 hours post infection. Neutrophils of three human donors have been used. Overall 6 samples for infected neutrophils at time point 6 hours and 6 samples for infected neutrophils at time point 24 hours exist, including three biological samples and two technical samples. Uninfected neutrophils represent 3 samples at time point 0 hours, 3 samples at time point 6 hours and 3 samples at time point 24 hours. Transcriptome of Leishmania donovani culture has been assessed in two replicates.

• Chracterising_cellur_pathways_underlying_CD3_CD28_activation_of_human_CD4__cells

  We devised an approach to disentangle the TCR and CD28 pathways upon stimulation in naive and memory primary human CD4+ T cells (Tcons) in response to defined stimulatory signals. Sorted Tcons were activated using a titration of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 in combination as well as individually. As a control we cultured cells in the same conditions but without the stimuli. In total, we defined seven conditions from four individuals for sequencing. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• High titers and low fucosylation of early phase anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG promote hyper-inflammation by alveolar macrophages

  We show that early phase anti-Spike IgG in serum of critically ill COVID-19 patients induces hyper-inflammatory responses by human alveolar macrophages. We identified that this excessive inflammatory response is dependent on two antibody features that are specific for severe COVID-19. First, inflammation is driven by high titers of anti-Spike IgG, a hallmark of severe disease. Second, we found that anti-Spike IgG from severely ill patients is intrinsically more pro-inflammatory because of different glycosylation of the Fc tail, particularly by low fucosylation. This dataset is linked with the following ArrayExpress Experiment: E-MTAB-10431 - 2020_COVID19_FCGR_MIL10_IgGfucosylation

• Mongolia Western HCC

  Mongolia has the world’s highest incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with ~100 cases/105 inhabitants. We molecularly characterize the Mongolian (n=192) compared to Western HCCs (n=187) by RNA-seq and WES. Mongolian patients were predominantly younger, female, with HBV-HDV non-cirrhotic livers. Mongolian HCCs had higher rates of protein-coding mutations (121 vs 70 mut /tumor in West), and mutations in known (i.e. APOB) and putative HCC drivers (TSC2). A novel mutational signature (SBS Mongolia) was identified in 25% of cases associated with the carcinogenic DMS genotoxic signature. Two unique molecular classes enriched in HBV-HDV infection, female gender and inflamed tumors are described.

• The Haplotype Reference Consortium

  The Haplotype Reference Consortium (HRC) will create a large reference panel of human haplotypes by combining together sequencing data from multiple cohorts. By combining together multiple cohorts, the reference panels produced by the project will be as large as possible in terms of both number of haplotypes, and numbers of variants. This will increase the accuracy of the genotype imputation, especially at low-frequency variants, and the number of imputable variants, thus increasing the power of GWAS.

• SARS-CoV-2 escapes CD8 T cell surveillance via mutations in MHC-I restricted epitopes [10x]

  CD8+ T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 has been implicated in COVID-19 severity and virus control. Here, we identified non-synonymous mutations in MHC-I restricted CD8+ T cell epitopes after deep sequencing of 747 SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates. Mutant peptides exhibited diminished or abrogated MHC-I binding, which was associated with a loss of recognition and functional responses by CD8+ T cells isolated from HLA-matched COVID-19 patients. Our findings highlight the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to subvert CD8+ T cell surveillance through sporadically emerging escape mutations in MHC- I restricted viral epitopes.

• 'KOREAN' never-smoker female adenocarcinoma RNA-seq

  Multi-layered genomic studies such as the TCGA project have greatly advanced our understanding on molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer. For Asian nonsmoker patients, however, majority of studies have been limited to mutational analyses, emphasizing ethnic differences in driver mutations (e.g. more frequent EGFR mutations and ALK fusions). In essence, a comprehensive multi-layered characterization that could lead to molecular etiology and patient stratification scheme to be translated into clinical applications for this patient group is still missing. Here we report molecular profiling of tumor and matched normal tissues from 114 non-small-cell lung adenocarcinoma patients using whole exome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).

• Detection of Cancer Mutations by Urine Liquid Biopsy in Bladder Cancer Patients

  The management of bladder cancer faces multiple challenges concerning the diagnostics and fol-low-up approaches. The standard diagnostic test is invasive cystoscopy. Urine cytology and re-cently proposed urine-based biomarkers still could not replace cystoscopy, thus prompting calls for improvements. Here, we explore urine liquid biopsy to detect cancer mutations for therapeutic and prognostic assessment and subsequently evaluate the utility of urine as a suitable specimen in diagnosing bladder cancer. Our findings show that the analysis of pre-and post-operative urine enables the characterization of specific tumor mutations, which can be used to diagnose and evaluate a patient’s prognosis and therapy response.

• Hepatitis B virus integrations promote local and distant oncogenic driver alterations in hepatocarcinogenesis

  Infection by Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is the main risk factor for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) worldwide. HBV can directly drive carcinogenesis through integrations in human genome. This integrative analysis of a French cohort of 190 patients mainly coming from Europe and Africa provides a deep characterization of HBV integrations, in relation with viral and host genomics and clinical features. Clonal HBV integrations directly contribute to HCC development through alterations of cancer driver genes, either at distance when co-localizing with copy number alterations, either locally through viral Enhancers. Together, this analysis gives new insights on HBV-associated driver mechanisms involved in hepato-carcinogenesis.
