• Oligodendroglia as functional effectors of Multiple Sclerosis risk variants (iPS derived hOPC scCRISPRi/a-seq)

  Study of the regulatory effect of a selection Multiple Sclerosis (MS) associated SNPs applying high-throughput functional genomics in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived oligodendroglia (iPS-derived hOPCs). Selected cis-regulatory elements were assesed with lentiviral-based pooled single cell (sc)CRISPR-seq screens. CRISPRi/a (dCas9-KRAB and dCas9-p300 respectively) was performed, in combination with direct-capture Perturb-sequencing single-guide RNA (sgRNA) and droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq, allowing high sgRNA capture efficiency and identification of possible transcriptional regulatory mechanisms at a single cell/sgRNA level.

• PD-1 Instructs a Tumor Suppressive Metabolic Program to Restrain AP-1 Activity in T Cell Lymphoma

  T cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-NHLs) represent a heterogeneous group of aggressive cancers of mature CD4+ T cells, for which therapeutic options are limited. Recent work uncovered that the PDCD1 encoded immune checkpoint receptor PD-1 is a key tumor suppressor in T cells. PD-1 is recurrently inactivated in T-NHL and the highest frequencies of PDCD1 deletions are detected in advanced disease, predicting worse prognosis. The tumor-suppressive mechanisms of PD-1 signaling remain unknown. In the present study, we identify transcriptional and epigenetic mechanisms underlying PD-1 tumor suppression in T-NHL.Some subjects included in this study overlap with the subjects from phs002456. To establish the link between the overlapping subjects, the Subject Consent datasets will be utilized.

• Prevention of Viral Hepatitis and HIV in Drug Users - A Hepatitis B Model for HIV and an HB Vaccine Model for HIV Vaccine Trials in Drug Users (DASH)

  The goal of the proposed study is to use the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine as a model for a future Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) vaccine trial, examining the efficacy of community-based outreach intervention as well as an accelerated vaccine schedule as a method for increasing acceptance/adherence with HBV vaccination protocols among not-in-treatment drug users. This study also examined the effect of HBV vaccination coupled with community-based outreach intervention on reducing the incidence of HIV, HBV and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections and the frequency of needle use and sexual risk behaviors related to these viral transmissions. A secondary purpose is to assess the antibody response after HBV vaccination as a measurement of immunological response in drug users.

• RNA-Seq from PMM2-CDG Patients and Healthy Controls

  Besides the predominant neurological involvement of PMM2-CDG patients, around 20% of patient mortality has been linked to severe infections. However, the immunological dysfunction in PMM2-CDG is not well understood. In this study, we aimed to address this gap and study the molecular mechanisms affected behind immunological issues in PMM2-CDG. Primary skin fibroblasts from three PMM2-CDG patients and three healthy controls were stimulated or not with TNF-alpha and their gene expression was assessed by RNA sequencing. The response to TNF-alpha was characterized based on the differential expressed genes and functional enrichment and and compared between PMM2-CDG and healthy individuais. Gene expression alterations and functional enrichment were further validated by several experimental assays by ELISA, Flow Cytometry and Western Blotting.

• Single-Cell Sequencing Reveals Distinct Microenvironment Cell Types Associated with Response to High Dose Melphalan and Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in Multiple Myeloma

  The aim of this study is to understand the transcriptome of microenvironment cells in pre- and post- autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) samples between patients with complete response and partial response to transplant. Here, we studied immune cells from 40 multiple myeloma patients who have undergone ASCT. Samples were collected from 40 multiple myeloma patients before and after ASCT. Samples were sorted using magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) and the non-tumor CD138- fraction underwent 3' single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) or 5' scRNA-seq + 5' T cell receptor sequencing (TCRseq), to determine the scRNA transcriptome and TCR repertoire. This study includes 24 samples with 3' scRNA-seq, 56 samples with 5' scRNA-seq, and 56 samples with 5' TCRseq data.

• Identification of germline variants in Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) by whole- exome sequencing

  Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare malignant tumor that arises from parafollicular cells. Approximately 8% of thyroid cancer cases are MTC, and about 25% of these have a hereditary component. Incorporating molecular parameters into tumor classification is important. Besides, the presence of pathogenic germline variants can impact directly on cancer prevention. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform whole exome sequencing (WES) on a consecutive series of hereditary RET wild-type MTC patients to identify genetic variants that may be involved in the carcinogenesis of this tumor. WES was performed on 28 patients negative for germline RET pathogenic variants using the NovaSeq 6000 platform. Variant classification followed American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.Our study represents a significant advancement in gene discovery for MTC genetics.

• Tracking Therapy-Resistant Alterations in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

  Relapse is currently the major cause of death in children with B-ALL. The goal of this study is to uncover the genetic underpinnings of relapsed B-ALL in the AALL1331 cohort (PMID: 33651090) via whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of matched diagnosis, relapse, and remission specimens. We aim to discover genetic alterations that drive treatment resistance in relapsed tumors. We also aim to investigate the feasibility of detecting residual tumors from remission samples with the ultimate goal to improve risk stratification using NGS-based minimal residual disease (MRD) detection. Here we only report data from patients in remission with the aim of determining MRD. We will submit corresponding data for the diagnosis and relapse components of our cohort in a future version of our study.

• GWAS for atrial fibrillation in the Japanese population

  We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) that utilized 8,180 atrial fibrillation cases and 28,612 controls and followed up in an additional 3,120 cases and 125,064 controls in the Japanese population. We replicated previously reported loci and identified six novel loci. Five of the six novel loci were specifically associated with atrial fibrillation in the Japanese population after comparing our data to individuals of European ancestry, suggesting there might be different susceptibility genetic factors across ancestries. Our study has discovered variants in genes HAND2, KCND3 and NEBL that are relevant to atrial fibrillation susceptibility. The involvement of PPFIA4 and SH3PXD2A in axon guidance also suggested its role in the disease pathogenesis. Our findings may contribute to a better understanding of atrial fibrillation susceptibility and pathogenesis.

• Genome-wide expression profiles to compare array-based, RNAseq and NanoString technologies in patients with resected pancreatic ductal carcinoma.

  Using formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues collected prospectively in patients with resected pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC) we generated genome-wide expression profiles to compare array-based, RNAseq and NanoString technologies. Samples included in the study were collected 17 patients. After careful selection by the pathologist of 17 malignant cells-enriched, 7 stroma-enriched, and 6 normal (normal pancreas in 4 cases and normal duodenum in 2 cases) regions, sections were macrodissected, and total RNA extracted. Two additional FFPE-frozen matched-paired PDAC from our local Biobank were included. Our study represents the most extensive work comparing three technologies to generate gene expression profiles from FFPE samples, and provides technical guidance for future biomarker studies in samples collected prospectively in the context of clinical trials.

• Multi-omics analysis of serial samples from metastatic TNBC patients on PARP inhibitor monotherapy provide insight into rational PARP inhibitor therapy combinations

  In a pilot study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of olaparib/durvalumab combination treatment in mTNBC patients and the feasibility of real-time deep analysis of serial tumor samples from triple negative breast cancer patients to identify mechanisms of resistance and treatment opportunities. This study used the SMMART analytic platform at OHSU KCI and incorporated comprehensive multi-omic analysis of serial liquid and tumor biopsies. Deep analysis of longitudinal biopsies combined with a robust computational biology pipeline identified multiple PARPi-induced changes in immune activation, DNA damage checkpoint activation, apoptosis and signaling pathways including RTK, PI3K-AKT and RAS-MAPK. These emergent tumor and immune state changes could act as biomarker targets to be used in selecting patient specific combination therapies.

• Facial Skin Biophysical Multi-Parameter and Microbiome-Based Korean Skin Cutoype (KSC) Determination

  In this study, we conducted an integrated analysis of skin measurements, clinical BSTI surveys, and the skin microbiome of 950 Korean subjects to examine the ideal skin microbiome-biophysical association. By utilizing four skin biophysical parameters, we identified four distinct Korean Skin Cutotypes (KSCs) and categorized the subjects into three aging groups based on their age distribution. We established strong connections between 15 core genera and the four KSC types within the three aging groups, revealing three prominent clusters of the facial skin microbiome. Together with skin microbiome variations, skin tone/elasticity distinguishes aging groups while oiliness/hydration distinguishes individual differences within aging groups. Our study provides prospective reality data for customized skin care based on the microbiome environment of each skin type.
