• in silico drug target prediction for melanoma

  The in silico single gene deletion step was adapted to simulate the knock-out of all targets of a drug on an objective function such as growth or energy balance. Based on publicly available and in-house large scale transcriptomic data, metabolic models for melanoma were reconstructed, enabling the prediction of 28 candidate drugs and estimating their respective efficacy.

• Genetic variants of the COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes contribute to thinned glomerular basement membrane lesions in sporadic IgA nephropathy patients

  Contribution of pathogenic COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 variants to sporadic IgAN is still unclear. Whole exome sequencing was performed in sporadic IgAN patients with thinned glomerular basement membrane lesions and variations in COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 genes were screened and evaluated. 37 different diagnostic variants in COL4A3/COL4A4/COL4A5 gene in 38 patients (31.1%) were identified.

• Whole genome analysis of pediatric patients with medulloblastoma

  Cancer genomes often contain structural variations (SVs) in non-coding regions, while its impact on tumorigenesis is still unclear. Our goal is to discover genome folding changes resulted from SVs using InfoGenomeR and InfoHiC frameworks, which may reveal novel therapeutic targets. We applied our frameworks to five pediatric patients with medulloblastoma, revealing 3D genome changes of medulloblastoma driver genes.

• The molecular landscape of homologous recombination deficient, end-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer

  High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is frequently characterized by homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency, and while most such tumors are sensitive to initial treatment, acquired resistance is common. We undertook a multi-omics approach to interrogating mechanisms of resistance, using multiple autopsy samples collected from 15 women with HR-deficient HGSC.

• RNA-sequencing of ex vivo exhausted human antigen-specific T cells

  Tumor-specific T cells are frequently exhausted by chronic antigenic stimulation. To explore new pathways for reinvigoration of anti-tumor immune functions, we developed a human ex vivo exhaustion model by repetitive antigenic stimulation of primary CD8 T cells. This results in T cells that resemble patient-derived T cells in tumors on a phenotypic and transcriptional level.

• Neoadjuvant Chemo or Combined Chemo-Radiation Therapy of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Yields Fundamentally Different Proteome Biology of the Residual Tumor Mass

  We performed data independent acquisition (DIA)-based proteomics to characterize the proteomes of 67 PDAC resection specimens. Patients received either neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant combined chemo-radiation therapy. We employed DIA, yielding a proteome coverage in excess of 3,500 proteins. The two neoadjuvant therapies yielded highly distinguishable proteome profiles of the residual tumor mass.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of bone marrow mononuclear cells

  Bone marrow aspirates were obtained from patients with relapsed/refractory large B cell lymphoma (rrLBCL), mononuclear cells isolated by ficoll density-gradient centrifugation, and loaded onto a 10X Chromium for single cell RNA-sequencing using 5’ chemistry without prior cryopreservation. Healthy donor bone marrow mononuclear cells were obtained from healthy allogeneic stem cell transplant donors and analyzed following viable cryopreservation.

• DNA methylation of peripheral blood leukocytes from patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome

  Genomic DNA (~ 1 μg) from LFS patients was treated using sodium bisulfite (Qiagen) converting unmethylated cytosine to uracil but leaving methylated cytosine intact. These samples were then hybridized to the HumanMethylation450 BeadChip or HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip from Illumina at the Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) at the Hospital for Sick Children using the manufacturer’s recommended protocol.

• Clinical Activity of Combined Telomerase Vaccination and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Melanoma: Results from a Phase I Trial

  Thirty patients with advanced melanoma were recruited to a clinical trial investigating the therapeutic cancer vaccine, UV1, in combination with pembrolizumab. Whole exome sequencing was performed on melanoma biopsies to determine tumor mutational burden and association with response to therapy. RNA sequencing of matched tumor biopsies to evaluate gene expression profiles at baseline and post-treatment.

• UKF_Paediatric_Tumours_Behjati_WellcomeCore_RNA_Managed_Access

  Children born with DS have a substantially higher risk of developing childhood leukaemia. Approximately 10% are diagnosed with a preleukemic condition at birth; transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM). Of these, 20% - 30% of cases may progress to myeloid leukaemia associated with DS (MLDS) by the age of five. We are interested in directly characterizing the transcriptional changes underlying this stepwise development of TAM and MLDS.

• Three-dimensional patient-derived models of glioblastoma retain intra-tumoral heterogeneity

  The intra- and inter- tumoral heterogeneity of glioblastoma represents a significant therapeutic challenge, as well as difficulty in generating reliable models for in vitro studies. Here, we quantify the tumor cell composition from matched patient-derived neurospheres (PDN) and organoids (PDO) established from the same primary tumor using a series of multi-omic interrogations, relative to primary tissue

• SCLC study George et al. - WGS data set

  Whole genome sequencing was performed with DNA extracted from fresh-frozen tumor and normal material. Short insert DNA libraries were prepared with the TruSeq DNA PCRfree sample preparation kit (Illumina) for paired-end sequencing at a minimum read length of 2x100bp. Human DNA libraries were sequenced to an average coverage of minimum 30x for both tumor and matched normal. Murine DNA libraries of tumor and matched normal were both sequenced to a coverage of 25x.

• Multiple Malignancy Familial Comparison

  Patient (who has had multiple malignancies) has previously been found to harbour a pathogenic p53 variant which is probably mosaic. This finding is based on exome sequencing performed elsewhere. In this study we will resequence the locus in question to ascertain whether the variant is indeed mosaic.

• ESGI-Identification of novel genes and mechanisms leading to Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

  Approximately 80% of clinically clearly diagnosed patients suffering from primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) cannot be assigned to a specific gene defect. Despite extensive research on PCD and despite the increasing number of PCD genes and knowledge about their sites of action as e.g structural component or cytoplasmic pre-assembly factor, the biology of motile cilia and the pathomechanism leading to PCD is largely unknown. The aim of this study is to identify novel PCD related genes and processes relevant for motile cilia function.We will perform exome sequencing, aiming on the analysis of family trios. In these families, the diagnosis of PCD is secured, but the underlying gene defects has so far not been identified.

• Colorectal Adenoma Gene Screen

  A pilot to establish the feasability of using a custom Agilent targeted pulldown of 110 genes implicated in colorectal tumourigensis to sequence for driver mutations in a set of 30 FFPE colorectal adenomas. If successful, we propose to sequence an additional 350 adenomas as part of a MRC research study in order to define the pattern of driver mutations across the spectrum of pathological subtypes including coventional adenomas, serrated adenomas and hyperplastic polyps

• A Study to Evaluate Denosumab in Young Patients With Primary Breast Cancer (D-Beyond)

  This is a prospective, single arm phase IIa trial in which patients with early breast cancer will receive pre-operatively two doses of denosumab 120mg subcutaneously one week apart (maximum 12 days) followed by surgery. Tumor, normal breast tissue and blood samples will be collected at baseline and at surgery. Post-operative treatment will be at the discretion of the investigator.Primary objective: to determine if a short course of RANKL inhibition with denosumab can induce a decrease in tumor proliferation rates as determined by Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in newly diagnosed, early stage breast cancer in pre-menopausal women.
