• Acute Respiratory Distress Network (ARDSNet) Study 02 Late Steroid Rescue Study (LaSRS) (ARDSNet-LaSRS-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. Biospecimens: Access to Biospecimens is through the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC). Biospecimens from ARDSNet-LaSRS include BAL Slides, Bronchial Lavage, and Plasma. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent.Objectives: Since previous reports suggested that corticosteroids may improve survival, this project was developed as a multicenter, randomized controlled trial of corticosteroids in patients with persistent ARDS.Background: Persistent acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by excessive fibroproliferation, ongoing inflammation, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and a substantial risk of death.Participants: There were 180 participants.Conclusions: The results do not support the routine use of methylprednisolone for persistent ARDS despite the improvement in cardiopulmonary physiology. In addition, starting methylprednisolone therapy more than two weeks after the onset of ARDS may increase the risk of death. (NEJM April 20, 2006; Vol 354, No. 16, pp 1671-84).

• The DNA methylation landscape of glioblastoma disease progression shows extensive heterogeneity in time and space

  Glioblastoma is characterized by widespread genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity, yet little is known about the role of the epigenome in glioblastoma disease progression. Here, we present genome-scale maps of DNA methylation in matched primary and recurring glioblastoma tumors, using data from a highly annotated clinical cohort that was selected through a national patient registry. We demonstrate the feasibility of DNA methylation mapping in a large set of routinely collected FFPE samples, and we validate bisulfite sequencing as a multipurpose assay that allowed us to infer a range of different genetic, epigenetic, and transcriptional characteristics of the profiled tumor samples. On the basis of these data, we identified subtle differences between primary and recurring tumors, links between DNA methylation and the tumor microenvironment, and an association of epigenetic tumor heterogeneity with patient survival. In summary, this study establishes an open resource for dissecting DNA methylation heterogeneity in a genetically diverse and heterogeneous cancer, and it demonstrates the feasibility of integrating epigenomics, radiology, and digital pathology for a national cohort, thereby leveraging existing samples and data collected as part of routine clinical practice.

• Full blood mRNA sequencing of myotonic dystrophy type 1 patients after cognitive behavioural therapy

  Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is an incurable multisystem disease caused by a CTG-repeat expansion in the DM1 protein kinase (DMPK) gene. The OPTIMISTIC clinical trial demonstrated positive and heterogenous effects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on the capacity for activity and social participations in DM1 patients. Here, we performed mRNA sequencing of full blood for 27 patients of the OPTIMISTIC cohort before and after the CBT intervention. We identified 608 genes for which their expression was significantly associated with the disease causing CTG-repeat expansion, as well as with 1176 genes significantly associated with the average clinical response towards the intervention. Remarkably, all 97 genes significantly associated with both returned to more normal levels in patients who benefited most from CBT. This trend was consistent with the difference observed between DM1 patients and controls in an earlier study of blood mRNA expression levels, singling these genes out as candidate biomarkers for therapy response. Together these results highlight the ability to find disease relevant information in full blood of DM1 patients and open new avenues to monitor therapy effects.
