• DNA methylation-based classification of sinonasal tumors [Proteomics data]

  The diagnosis of sinonasal tumors is challenging due to a heterogeneous spectrum of various differential diagnoses as well as poorly defined, disputed entities such as sinonasal undifferentiated carcinomas (SNUCs). In this study, we apply a machine learning algorithm based on DNA methylation patterns to classify sinonasal tumors with clinical-grade reliability. We further show that sinonasal tumors with SNUC morphology are not as undifferentiated as their current terminology suggests but rather reassigned to four distinct molecular classes defined by epigenetic, mutational and proteomic profiles. This includes two classes with neuroendocrine differentiation, characterized by IDH2 or SMARCA4/ARID1A mutations with an overall favorable clinical course, one class composed of highly aggressive SMARCB1-deficient carcinomas and another class with tumors that represent previously misclassified adenoid cystic carcinomas. The repository includes the raw mass spectrometry-based proteomics data

• Identification of neoantigen from MSI-CRC patient derived organoids and its application for targeting by autologous T cells

  Targeting neoantigens expressed only by tumor cells enable tumor destruction without unexpected damages to healthy tissues. Here, we identified neoantigens from microsatellite instable (MSI) colorectal cancer (CRC) patient-derived organoids by genomics and immunopeptidomics approches. The neoantigens in this study were predicted from frame-shift mutation by whole-genome sequencing and confirmed its presentation on organoids surface class I HLA molecules by mass spectrometry. We utilized these neoantigens to isolate neoantigen-specific CD8 T cells from autologous PBMC, and proved tumor organoids killing ability of the CD8 T cells, whereas it did not attack normal organoids. This study provides a platform to identify neoantigen from patient-derived cancer organoids and a model to validate T cell recognition, which could be useful for adoptive CD8 T cell transfer treatment for MSI-CRC patient.

• ATAC-Seq of healthy and IBD blood samples

  PBMCs from blood samples of 9 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects and 25 IBD patients were isolated through a Ficoll density gradient and used to isolate live CD4 T cells through a magnetic cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Twelve thousand live CD4 T cells were then used to prepare ATAC-Seq libraries. Briefly, crude nuclei of live CD4+ T cells were treated with Tagment DNA buffer and Tagment DNA Enzyme (Nextera DNA Library Prep Kit, Illumina), and then the DNA was purified by MinElute PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen). Transposed DNA fragments were amplified using specific adapters followed by purification with MinElute PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen). Fragments from 240-360pb were selected in the PippinHT system (Sage Science). The quality of the library and its DNA concentration were assessed by Bioanalyzer instruments (Agilent Technologies) and ultimately submitted for sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer, V4 chemistry.

• Organoid drug profiling identifies methotrexate as a therapy for SCCOHT, a rare pediatric cancer

  Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare and lethal tumor in adolescent and young adult patients. Currently, there is no standard-of-care treatment for these patients. Reliable models that represent this disease and can be used for translational research are scarce. To model SCCOHTs, we have established eight patient-derived tumoroid lines from tumor lesions of three patients with SCCOHT. The tumoroids recapitulate genomic and transcriptomic characteristics of the corresponding patient tumors and capture intrapatient tumor heterogeneity. Organoid drug profiling using a library of 153 clinical compounds identified methotrexate as an effective and selective drug against SCCOHTs with a clinically relevant IC50 of 35 nmol/L. RNA sequencing demonstrated that methotrexate induced TP53 pathway activation and apoptosis. These data underscore that organoid technology can support the design of therapeutic strategies for rare cancers.

• H3K27ac ChIP-seq in a selected group of AML patients

  ChIP-seq data were generated for a number of selected patients to investigate changes in enhancer and promoter regions. ChIP was performed as described previously with slight modifications27. Briefly, cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and the reaction was quenched with glycine at a final concentration of 0.125 M. Chromatin was sheared using the Covaris S220 focused-ultrasonicator to an average size of 250–350 bp. A total of 2.5 µg of antibody against H3K27ac (Abcam, ab4729) was added to sonicated chromatin of 2 × 106 cells and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Protein A sepharose beads (GE healthcare) were added to the ChIP reactions and incubated for 2 h at 4 °C. Beads were washed and chromatin was eluted. After crosslink reversal, RNase A and proteinase K treatment, DNA was extracted with the Monarch PCR & DNA Cleanup kit (NEB). Sequencing libraries were prepared with the NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The quality of dsDNA libraries was analyzed using the High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape Kit (Agilent) and concentrations were assessed with the Qubit dsDNA HS Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Libraries were single-end sequenced on a HiSeq 4000 (Illumina). ChIP-seq reads were aligned to the human reference genome build hg19 with bowtie

• Reference Epigenomes and Regulatory Landscape of CLL

  Analysis of the reference epigenomes and regulatory landscape of CLL as a whole and its major clinico-biological subtypes (with mutated and unmutated IGHV) in the light of the normal B-cell differentiation. We have extensively characterized the reference epigenomes of seven primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia samples (CLLs) with mutated (n=5) and unmutated IGHV (n=2) as well as several mature B-cell subpopulations (naive B cells from blood and tonsil, germinal center B cells, memory B cells and plasma cells from tonsil) using genome-wide maps of six histone marks (H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3), DNA accessibility (ATAC-seq), DNA methylation (whole-genome bisulfite sequencing) and gene expression (RNA-seq). Furthermore, we have mapped the regulatory chromatin landscape of 100 additional CLL cases using chIP-seq of H3K27ac and ATAC-seq and linked these data to additional layers of information (whole-genome and/or whole-exome sequencing (WGS/WES), RNA-seq and DNA methylation microarrays) studied in the context of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).
