• Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN): A Phase II, RCT of Mesenchymal Stem Cells & Cardiac Stem Cells in Subjects With Ischemic HF (CONCERT HF-BioLINCC)

  Data Access Note: Please refer to the “Authorized Access” section below for information about how access to the data from this accession differs from many other dbGaP accessions. ObjectivesTo assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and c-kit positive cardiac cells (CPCs), alone or in combination, in participants with ischemic heart failure.Background The prognosis of heart failure (HF) caused by chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy (coronary artery disease and prior myocardial infarction), hereby referred to as “ischemic HF”, remains poor. Many studies have explored the use of various types of stem or progenitor cells in participants with chronic ischemic HF, with encouraging results. Several clinical trials have suggested that MSCs and CPCs are both safe and beneficial in participants with ischemic HF. At the time of this study, no information was available on the efficacy of MSCs and CPCs in humans, however, both cell types have been shown to attenuate left ventricle (LV) dysfunction in animal models. Preclinical models indicate that combining MSCs and CPCs increases the therapeutic effects, but this had not yet been tested in humans. The CONCERT-HF study was initiated to assess whether autologous MSCs and CPCs, alone or in combination, can be manufactured and delivered to participants with ischemic HF; are well-tolerated; and improve LV function, quality of life, and functional capacity, and/or reduce scar size. Participants A total of 125 participants were randomized with 33 participants randomized to the MSCs and CPCs group, 29 participants to the MSCs alone group, 31 participants to the CPCs alone group, and 32 participants to the placebo group. Design The CONCERT-HF study was a multi-center Phase II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of MSCs alone, CPCs alone, and their combination compared with placebo as well as each other in patients with ischemic HF. In Stage 1 (open label, lead-in study) participants were randomized 1:1 to either a standard-of-care control group (i.e., they did not undergo harvest, mapping, or injection procedures) or combination therapy (MSCs + CPCs, as described for Stage 2) to complete safety assessments. Once approval was granted for Stage 2, participants were randomized (1:1:1:1) to one of four treatments: placebo, autologous MSCs (target dose, 150 × 106 cells), autologous CPCs (target dose, 5 × 106 cells), or a combination of autologous MSCs and CPCs. At the harvest visit, right ventricular endocardial biopsy (EMB) was performed in participants randomized to receive CPCs alone or a combination of MSCs and CPCs. Participants randomized to receive MSCs alone or placebo had a sham procedure (right heart catheterization without EMB). All participants underwent a bone marrow aspiration and approximately 14 weeks later had transendocardial, electromechanically-guided injections of study product. Visits occurred at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after study product injection. A telephone contact took place at 24 months to assess the participant's current medications, as well as morbidity and mortality. Study endpoints included measures of safety, feasibility, and efficacy. Safety outcomes included all adverse events grade 2 and higher, including major adverse cardiac events (MACE) related to HF (death, hospitalization for worsening HF, and HF exacerbation not requiring hospitalization). Efficacy endpoints included quality of life, MRI measures of LV function and structure, functional capacity, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels. Conclusions In patients with ischemic HF, autologous MSCs and CPCs, alone or in combination, are safe and feasible; CPCs were associated with a reduction in the incidence of MACE related to HF compared to placebo; MSCs, either alone or in combination with CPCs, were associated with improved quality of life; these seemingly beneficial effects of CPCs and MSCs on clinical outcome were not associated with changes in LV function or structure; and combination therapy with MSCs and CPCs was associated with the best clinical outcomes with respect to both MACE related to HF and quality of life.

• INCLUDE Data Hub: NDA GUIDs for Down Syndrome Research

  The INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE) Project is an NIH-wide collaboration that seeks to improve health and quality of life for people with Down syndrome. The INCLUDE Project Data Coordinating Center (DCC) and partners created the INCLUDE Data Hub, a centralized data resource that allows access to large-scale clinical and multi-omics datasets specific to Down syndrome and supports collaborative, cloud-based analysis to accelerate scientific discoveries related to Down syndrome and its co-occurring conditions. The INCLUDE Data Hub includes an innovative researcher data repository, a portal, and a cloud-based platform for data analysis. The portal provides access to de-identified demographics and clinical metadata, as well as multi-omics datasets, including whole genome sequences, transcriptomes, proteomes, and metabolomes. The INCLUDE Data Hub uses a 'registered access' model, whereby users can access the portal and associated data after agreeing to terms of use. From the Data Hub, users can also reach 'controlled access' data (e.g., whole genome sequences) only for those studies for which they have obtained approval by an NIH Data Access Committee through the corresponding dbGaP study. A thoughtful linkage strategy to identify duplicate participants across studies enables researchers to merge multiple datasets and data types to create richer datasets and reduce costly redundancies in large-scale data generation (e.g., -omics) while mitigating potential risks introduced by linkage.Based on recommendations from the NICHD Office of Data Science and Sharing, which completed a comprehensive assessment of existing Privacy Protecting Record Linkage (PPRL) and associated data governance solutions, the INCLUDE DCC and the associated NIH Steering Committee have implemented NIMH Data Archive Global Unique Identifiers (NDA GUIDs) in the INCLUDE Data Hub. The NDA GUID Tool is a government-owned and operated PPRL technology that enables researchers to link data from multiple sources to the same individual without revealing personally identifiable information (PII). With the NDA GUID Tool, the same participant information will return the same GUID whenever or wherever it is entered. The GUID itself is not personally identifiable information or protected health information. Sharing data with NDA GUIDs allows approved researchers to link together data on a single participant, even if the data were collected at different locations or through different studies or are distributed from different data repositories. This dbGaP study enables researchers to access an INCLUDE GUID Mapping File that includes all available NDA GUIDs and their associations to study-specific Participant IDs across studies in the INCLUDE Data Hub. This dbGaP study only distributes NDA GUIDs associated with the INCLUDE Data Hub datasets. To access the associated controlled-access datasets, add the corresponding dbGaP studies to your Data Access Request. A list of these studies is available on the INCLUDE Data Hub Portal: https://portal.includedcc.org/studies.

• Base-excision repair pathway shapes 5-methylcytosine deamination signatures in pan-cancer genomes

  Transition of cytosine to thymine in CpG dinucleotides is the most frequent type of mutation in cancer. This increased mutability is commonly attributed to spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), which is normally repaired by the base-excision repair (BER) pathway. However, the contribution of 5mC deamination in the increasing diversity of cancer mutational signatures remains poorly explored. Here, we integrate mutational signatures analysis in a large series of tumor whole genomes with lineage-specific epigenomic data to draw a detailed view on 5mC deamination in cancer. We uncover tumor type-specific patterns of 5mC deamination signatures in CpG and non-CpG contexts. We demonstrate that the BER glycosylase MBD4 preferentially binds to open chromatin domains, which correlates with lower mutational burden in these domains. We validate our findings by modelling BER deficiencies in isogenic cell models. Overall, we establish MBD4 as the main actor responsible for 5mC deamination repair in humans.

• RNA-seq from human embryonic tissues (additional samples 2018)

  How the genome activates or silences transcriptional programmes governs organ formation. Little is known about this in human post-implantation embryos undermining our ability to benchmark the fidelity of in vitro stem cell differentiation or cell programming, or interpret noncoding variation as potential causes of disease. Here, by studying histone modification we identified genome-wide open chromatin states and active repression across thirteen tissues during human organogenesis. We integrated the data with transcription to build the first view of how promoter states from nearly 20,000 genes differentially regulate alternative organ fates, arguing against bivalency during human organogenesis. The data illustrate tissue-specific as well as complex patterns of enhancer activity functional in zebrafish and impute master transcription factors. Overlaying 739 noncoding de novo mutations in patients allowed phenotypic correlation of developmental disorders to unanticipated target genes. Taken together, the data provide a comprehensive genomic framework for understanding normal and abnormal human development.

• Evolving epigenomics of immune cells in type 1 diabetes at single nuclei resolution

  The appearance of diabetes-associated autoantibodies is the first detectable sign of the disease process leading to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Evidence suggests that T1D is a heterogenous disease, where the type of antibodies first formed imply subtypes. Here, we followed 49 children, who subsequently presented with T1D and 49 matched controls, profiling single-cell epigenomics at different time points of disease development. Quantitation of cell and nuclei populations as well as transcriptome and open-chromatin states indicated robust, early, replicable monocyte lineage differences between cases and controls, suggesting heightened pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion early among cases. The order of autoantibody emergence in cases showed variation across lymphoid and myeloid cells, potentially indicating cellular immune response divergence. The strong monocytic lineage representation in peripheral blood immune cells before seroconversion and the weaker differential coordination of these gene networks close to clinical diagnosis emphasizes the importance of early life as a critical phase in T1D development.
