• Immunogenomic analysis of tumor infiltrating B cells in gastric cancer

  Despite the accumulating evidences of the significance of humoral cancer immunity, its molecular mechanisms have largely remained elusive. This study aimed at profiling the global picture of the humoral cancer immunity in view of immune repertoire characteristics of tumor-infiltrating B cells. In this study, we investigated B-cell repertoire (BCR) / immunoglobulin (Ig) sequencing of tumor infiltrating B cells in 102 clinical gastric cancers. First, total RNAs were extracted from frozen gastric cancer tissues and corresponding normal gastric mucosa; then, BCR/Ig repertoires of tumor-infiltrating B cells were amplified by target PCR using multiplex primer sets available from iRepertoire(R), inc. Subsequent next-generation sequencing data obtained by the Illumina platform were aligned onto human BCR/Ig repertoire sequence. This dataset contains the repertoire sequencing data of 102 gastric cancer cases analyzed in this study.

• Analysis of IDHwt-glioblastoma samples from paired primary and recurrent tumor samples

  IDHwt-glioblastomas rapidly recur after initial treatment. To study genetic evolution in glioblastoma, we analyzed whole genomes of 21 pairs of primary and recurrent tumor samples using next generation sequencing. In addition we sequenced RNA from 16 tumor pairs and a panel of 50 glioma-associated genes in tumor pairs from 43 patients (including 14 of the 21 patients included in the WGS discovery set). Glioblastoma subtypes were determined using 450k/EPIC methylation arrays. This study was supported within the e:med program of the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the collaborative research project ‘SYS-GLIO - Systems-based prediction of the biological and clinical behavior of gliomas’ (https://www.sys-med.de/de/demonstratoren/sys-glio/) This study is part of the Heidelberg Center for Personalized Oncology - HIPO-043

• Detecting and quantifying clonal selection in somatic mosaicism

  In this study, we introduce a scalable method to identify clonal selection in an individual tissue, agnostic of the underlying mutations. To study clonal selection in the haematopoietic system, we performed whole genome sequencing on bone marrow CD34+ haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from 22 non-leukemic individuals, 30-89 years of age. We performed 90x whole genome sequencing for all samples and re-sequenced 19 samples with sufficient DNA to a total target coverage of 270x. Whole genome sequencing of hair follicle DNA from the same individuals was used as germline control. In addition, we sequenced unseparated bone marrow mononuclear cells, CD3-CD34- bone marrow mononuclear cells, and peripheral blood granulocytes from 14 samples. Samples were collected from individuals undergoing hip replacement surgery as part of the Mechanisms of Age-Related Clonal Haematopoiesis (MARCH) Study (REC Ref: 17/YH/0382).

• DNA Methylation Markers and Pancreatic Cancer Risk in 3 Cohort Studies (NHS, PHS, HPFS)

  Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in the US. Due to the lack of early symptoms, pancreatic cancer is difficult to identify at early stages and no screening is available for the general population. Identifying pancreatic cancer at earlier stages could significantly improve survival with increased opportunities for surgery. New high-dimensional arrays designed to measure DNA methylation levels at hundreds of thousands of CpG sites throughout the genome have opened opportunities to examine the role of DNA methylation in cancer risk using blood samples. Using this method, archived samples from prospective studies can be used to examine early changes in the DNA methylation levels in individuals who develop cancer months or years later, providing new opportunities to better understand biological mechanisms and, perhaps, identify biomarkers for early detection. Pancreatic cancer cases and matched controls were obtained from 3 large cohort studies, the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), the Physician's Health Study (PHS), and the Health Professionals Follow-up Study (HPFS), to measure DNA methylation in stored buffy coats using a nested case-control study design.

• Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Cardiorenal GWAS

  REGARDS is a national, population-based, longitudinal study of incident stroke and associated risk factors including over 30,000 Black and White adults aged 45 years or older from all 48 contiguous U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The study was designed to investigate reasons underlying the higher rate of stroke mortality among Black participants compared to White participants and among residents of the Southeastern U.S. compared to other U.S. regions. By design, Black adults and residents of the deep south were oversampled. Between 2003 and 2007 (baseline visit) participants completed a computer-assisted telephone interview to collect demographic information and medication adherence, and an in-home visit for blood pressure measurements and collection of blood and urine samples. Following the baseline visit, participants have been contacted by phone at six-month intervals to obtain information on incident stroke or secondary outcomes. Additionally, samples and data were collected on about 50% of the original cohort during a second study visit an average of 10 years after the baseline visit. Genotyping was performed as part of an ancillary study on 10,788 (84% Black) participants using Illumina MEGA arrays.

• Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center - Whole-Exome Sequencing of Hereditary Prostate Cancer Families

  The specific aim of this study is to identify hereditary prostate cancer (HPC) susceptibility genes using a novel study design, whereby whole-exome sequencing will be undertaken on multiple affected relatives from 19 HPC families, in which ≥ 3 affected relatives were diagnosed with clinically aggressive and/or early onset prostate cancer (PC). While whole-exome sequencing of unrelated affected individuals would result in hundreds of candidate disease variants, this family-based, aggressive/early onset phenotype approach will provide an enriched genetic background for discovery and significantly reduce the number of candidate mutations that will require follow-up. Findings from this pilot study will immediately be followed-up to confirm whether candidate mutations found in each family segregate with disease in the remaining unscreened relatives. As part of this pilot study, we aim to: Perform whole-exome sequencing on 80 affected and 11 unaffected relatives from 19 HPC families that have multiple men diagnosed with an aggressive and/or early onset disease phenotype using the Illumina HiSeq platform; and, Analyze sequencing data using BWA, SAMtools and SeattleSeq to prioritize candidate HPC mutations that segregate with aggressive and/or early onset disease in affected relatives.

• Adipocytes Regulate Fibroblast Function and Their Loss Contributes to Fibroblast Dysfunction in Inflammatory Diseases

  We profiled live synovial cells from 16 individuals with no diagnosed arthritis using single-cell RNA sequencing. Our study was designed to provide a reference single cell RNA sequencing dataset for researchers interested in studying arthritic synovium, providing sequencing data on healthy synovial cells for comparison to cells from diseased synovial tissues. Synovial tissue was collected post-mortem from three different sources between 2019-2021: the National Disease Research Interchange, a collaboration with Rush University and the Gift of Hope, and the Brigham and Women's Hospital Autopsy Department. To be included in the study, patients had to be between the ages of 18 to 72 and have no diagnosed arthritis or autoimmune diseases. Additionally, this study includes bulk RNA sequencing data of cultured primary synovial fibroblasts isolated from three rheumatoid arthritis patents. Cells were stimulated with either cortisol, fat conditioned media, TGFβ, TNFα, fat conditioned media with mifepristone, TGFβ with fat conditioned media, or TNFα with fat conditioned media. Cells were harvested 4 or 22 hours later and lysates collected for sequencing. Data from this study submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) may be accessed via accession number GSE233504.

• NCI COVID-19 in Cancer Patients Study (NCCAPS): A Longitudinal Natural History Study

  NCCAPS is a longitudinal prospective cohort study designed to assess patient, disease and treatment factors associated with short- and long-term outcomes in patients with cancer who develop COVID-19. We also aimed to describe COVID-19 symptoms and treatments, and to describe disruptions in cancer treatment due to COVID-19. The study enrolled patients with cancer on active treatment or with a history of stem cell transplant or CAR-T cell therapy with new, active COVID-19, defined as being within 14 days of their first positive SARS-CoV-2 test. The study found that receipt of chemotherapy and baseline history of stroke, atrial fibrillation or pulmonary embolism were associated with a higher risk of hospitalization for COVID-19. Vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 was associated with a lower risk of hospitalization. Death due to COVID-19 was highest in patients with lymphoma, intermediate in those with acute leukemia and lung cancer, and lowest in those with other solid tumors and other hematologic cancers. Disruptions of cancer treatment were frequent in the first 30 days after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
