Spatiotemporal immune atlas of the first clinical-grade gene-edited pig-to-human kidney xenotransplant

Pig-to-human xenotransplantation is rapidly approaching the clinical arena; however, it is unclear which immunomodulatory regimens will effectively control human immune responses to pig xenografts. We transplanted a gene-edited pig kidney into a brain-dead human recipient on pharmacologic immunosuppression and studied the human immune response to the xenograft using spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing. Human immune cells were uncommon in the porcine kidney cortex early after xenotransplantation and consisted of primarily myeloid cells. Both the porcine resident macrophages and human infiltrating macrophages expressed genes consistent with an alternatively activated, anti-inflammatory phenotype. No significant infiltration of human B or T cells into the porcine kidney xenograft was detected. Altogether, these findings provide proof of concept that conventional pharmacologic immunosuppression is sufficient to restrict infiltration of human immune cells into the xenograft early after compatible pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation.

Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of Pre-Transplant Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients

Children with malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and other life-threatening diseases sometimes receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a treatment for their disease. The HCT process can be complicated by the development of lung disease from infection, alloreactivity, or other causes. To identify patients at-risk for post-HCT lung disease, this study uses metatranscriptomic RNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained prior to HCT. Sequencing results are associated with the development of post-HCT lung injury.

Epigenetic memory of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in monocyte-derived macrophages

Immune memory is key to effective antimicrobial responses, but the impact of mRNA vaccines on this process is not fully understood. Our research shows that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines alter the epigenetic profile of human macrophages, specifically enhancing histone acetylation, which is linked to immune training. Significant epigenetic changes, along with increased cytokine release, require two vaccine doses. However, these effects diminish over time but can be restored with a booster dose six months later, maintaining a strong pro-inflammatory response.

Whole Exome Sequencing analysis of three tumor biopsies from a LUAD patient

Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) analysis was performed on three distinct tumor biopsies collected at different time points, along with their matched germline non-tumor sample, from the same LUAD patient. DNA was extracted using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and quantified using the Qubit Fluorometer assay (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). To minimize FFPE-related sequencing artifacts (e.g., C:G > T:A transitions), the extracted DNA was treated with the DNA repair enzyme Uracil-DNA-Glycosylase (UDG) following the manufacturer’s protocol (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA). Whole-exome capture was performed with the Twist Human Core Exome + RefSeq + Mito-Panel kit (Twist Bioscience), in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Sequencing generated paired-end 100-bp reads on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. The resulting reads were aligned to the reference human genome (GRCh38) using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner (BWA, v0.7.12).

Access to "A Spatially Resolved Single-Cell Atlas of the Human Fetal Olfactory System"

The human nasal region arises from neural crest and placodal lineages, yet its early development remains poorly understood owing to limited fetal tissue access and structural complexity. Here we present an integrated single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human fetal nasal region, generated from 10 fetuses (males and females) between 7 and 12 post-conceptional weeks. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing resolved 32 distinct cell types, while integration with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) enabled spatial and temporal mapping of gene expression dynamics across the olfactory epithelium (OE) and adjacent tissues. We identify novel markers of olfactory sensory neuron differentiation and pathways governing epithelial patterning and OE morphogenesis. Notably, spatially organized expression of 169 olfactory receptor genes reveals molecular evidence for the “one neuron-one receptor” principle during the first trimester. Together, this work establishes the first molecular and spatial framework of early human olfactory development and provides a foundational resource for studies of sensory neurogenesis and congenital disorders.

Identifying the role of ID3 in DNA repair and maintenance of genome integrity

The inhibitor of DNA-binding 3 (ID3) is a transcriptional repressor protein that limits the binding of basic helixloop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors to DNA. Preliminary results from our lab confirm that cellular depletion of ID3 is associated with an impaired DNA damage response. we hypothesize that ID3 has the potential to epigenetically affect DNA repair. This is based on our observation that upon cellular ID3 knockdown, a reduction of chromatin-bound H4K16ac and H3K36me3.

Massive parallel RNA sequencing of highly purified mesenchymal cells derived from bone marrow specimens of 45 low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome cases

Highly purified mesenchymal cells (CD45-/7AAD-/CD235a-/CD31-/CD271+/CD105+) were prospectively FACS-isolated from bone marrow specimens of 45 low-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (LRMDS) cases. Gene expression profiles (GEPs) of the 45 LRMDS have been compared to GEPs derived from likewise highly purified mesenchymal cells obtained from bone marrow specimens of healthy donors for the identification of inflammatory signatures. Additionally, an overlap in inflammatory signatures has been determined by comparing the GEPs of these 45 LRMDS cases to the GEPs of 4 Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and 3 Diamond-Blackfan anemia cases, both representing different subclasses of congenital pre-leukemia syndromes with a tendency of leukemic progression and perturbed niche compartment. Finally, the GEPs and gene expression signatures have been utilized for prognostication and the prediction of leukemic progression.

Targeted Sequencing of 173 genes

Targeted sequencing of 173 genes in 2433 primary breast tumours. Data includes 2433 tumour samples, 523 adjacent normal (breast) samples and 127 blood samples. Libraries were prepared with Illumina's Nextera custom enrichment kit targetting all the exons of the most frequently mutated breast cancer genes. Libraries were multiplexed (48 libraries per lane) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (100bp paired-end reads). Somatic mutations were calling with a custom pipeline. We identified 40 mutation-driver (Mut-driver) genes, and determined associations between mutations, driver CNA profiles, clinical-pathological parameters and survival. We assessed the clonal states of Mut-driver mutations, and estimated levels of intra-tumour heterogeneity using mutant-allele fractions. The results emphasize the importance of genome-based stratification of breast cancer, and have important implications for designing therapeutic strategies. Referece: Pereira et al.

Chromosome Segregation Errors Promote a Diverse Spectrum of Simple and Complex Genomic Rearrangements

Cancer genomes are frequently characterized by numerical and structural karyotypic abnormalities. Here we combined an inducible centromere-specific inactivation approach with selection for a conditionally essential gene, a strategy we term ‘CEN-SELECT’, and show that single-chromosome missegregation during cell division can directly drive a broad spectrum of structural rearrangement types. Cytogenetic profiling revealed that missegregated chromosomes are 120-fold more susceptible to developing seven major categories of structural variants, including translocations, insertions, deletions, and reassembly into chromothriptically rearranged chromosomes. Whole-genome sequencing of clones with genetically propagatable derivative chromosomes identified complex rearrangements and copy-number alterations that can result in gene inactivation or extrachromosomal gene amplification. We conclude that chromosome segregation errors are sufficient to drive extensive structural variation that recapitulates those commonly associated with human cancers.

Kids First and INCLUDE: Down Syndrome, Heart Defects, and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

This project is a collaboration with the trans-NIH INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE (INCLUDE) Project, which seeks to improve health and quality-of-life for individuals with Down syndrome, and NHLBI's TransOmics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program, which seeks to apply omics technologies to improve scientific understanding of the fundamental biological processes that underlie heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders. The data is also available at the INCLUDE Data Hub. Down syndrome (DS), which occurs due to trisomy 21, is one of the strongest risk factors for both congenital heart disease (CHD) and acute leukemia. For instance, children with DS have a 2000-fold increased risk of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) and a 20-fold increased risk of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). An important and innovative aspect of the Kids First program is understanding the overlap between structural birth defects and childhood cancer. Notably, the background of DS predisposes children to both of these phenotypes, however, the genomic architecture of risk remains largely undiscovered. In this joint Kids First/TOPMed/INCLUDE project, we are currently including >2,000 samples for whole-genome sequencing, including: 1) paired germline-tumor samples from children with DS-ALL; and 2) samples from families with DS-CHD. This work will advance our understanding of the developmental pathways that may lead to both structural birth defects and childhood cancer. The objectives of this study are to determine the genetic variants underlying AVSD and ALL risk in children with DS. Therefore, the aims of our study are: 1) compare whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data between children with documented DS-AVSD and children with DS who have structurally normal hearts to identify genetic variants that perturb heart development; and 2) compare WGS data between children with documented DS-ALL and children (from Aim 1) with DS who do not have a known history of ALL. We will also examine associations between germline mutations and somatic genomic features. This study will address the fundamental question of why children with DS have an elevated risk of AVSD and ALL. Insights into the genes that drive DS-AVSD and DS-ALL may have implications for improved genetic counseling, surveillance, clinical management, and treatment strategies for these children. Additionally, our findings may inform targeted therapies or interventions for children without DS who are at risk for structural birth defects and cancer. Additional Pediatric Cardiac Genetics Consortium (PCGC) data from children affected with Down syndrome and congenital heart disease are accessible through two separate dbGaP studies: phs001138 (Kids First) and phs001194 (TOPMed).

Center for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG) - Cardiovascular: Emory Cohort

The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) has funded the Centers for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG), a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to common disease phenotypes and to better understand the general principles of genomic architecture underlying common, complex inherited diseases. This study contains variant calls derived from the whole genome sequence data of an early-onset coronary artery disease case-control cohort selected from Emory University Cardiovascular Biobank. Case status was assigned based on the presence of myocardial infarction, coronary artery stenosis greater than 70% in at least one coronary artery, and/or revascularization (coronary angioplasty with or without stent placement or coronary artery bypass grafting) at an early age. For these samples "early age" is defined as men 60 years of age or younger and women 70 years of age or younger.

Transcriptomic Profiling of Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The study is a retrospective transcriptomic profiling of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. The pathologic database was queried for squamous cell carcinoma tumors originating from the anatomic oropharynx (tonsil or tongue base) with available samples from surgical archives. This retrospective RNA sequencing cohort included cases dating prior to the routine implementation of p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC) testing at our institution, therefore, p16 status was not required for inclusion in this study. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples were sent to the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (LCCC) Translational Genomics Lab (TGL) for RNA isolation using the Maxwell 16 MDx Instrument (Promega AS3000) and the Maxwell 16 LEV RNA FFPE Kit (Promega AS1260) following the manufacturer's protocol (Promega 9FB167). After a pathology review of a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained slides to identify tumor area, RNA was extracted from unstained slides using macrodissection. Total RNA quality was measured using a NanoDrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific ND-2000C) and a TapeStation 4200 (Agilent G2991AA). Total RNA concentration was quantified using a Qubit 3.0 fluorometer (Life Technologies Q33216). Libraries were prepared with Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero protocol. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencer. Paired end read data, with read lengths of 75 were collected.

Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS)

The Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS), phase III, is a population-based study aiming to understand the social and molecular correlates of breast cancer outcomes, particularly among Black and young women. CBCS recruited first primary breast cancer cases from 44 North Carolina counties between 2008-2013. All cases were between age 20 and 74 and self-identified as female. Black women and young women were systematically oversampled by randomized recruitment such that the study includes approximately 50% Black women and approximately 50% women diagnosed before age 50. A total of 2,998 participants were enrolled. In the ten years following diagnosis, women completed surveys approximately every 1-2 years and diagnoses of subsequent distant local recurrence and second primary tumors were ascertained via linked medical records. We identified records of women who developed secondary breast tumors (including second primary tumors, contralateral breast cancers, and locoregional recurrences), and these participants were oversampled for targeted DNA sequencing using the UNCseq panel (~1200 genes).CBCS germline pathogenic mutations cannot be investigated because participants were consented between 2008 and 2013 with specific language prohibiting this. However, germline data can be used to call somatic mutations or to standardize somatic genomic data.For sharing of study data not included here, please visit unclineberger.org for instructions on submitting a data use agreement.

Recurrent intra-tumour heterogeneity is a hallmark of metastatic prostate cancer

The evolution of cancers from low grade to metastatic disease is a major determinant of cancer mortality. Cancer evolution involves a complex interplay between cell intrinsic genetics and transcriptional alterations and the extrinsic microenvironment. To define the key mechanisms underpinning metastatic development, we focused on the most lethal form of prostate cancer, metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and employed single-cell multi-omics and whole-genome sequencing to deeply profile 34 metastatic lesions from 9 patients obtained from rapid autopsy. We found that intra-tumour heterogeneity is an indicator of key evolutionary processes, characterised by recurrent tumour populations acting as critical functional components of the tumour ecosystem, irrespective of clonal and microenvironmental backgrounds. Unexpectedly, microenvironments across metastatic sites played a limited role while clonal evolution primarily promoted transcriptional noise. Intra-patient functional convergence of tumour ecosystems was observed across metastatic sites, pointing towards system-level selection pressures that drive the heterogeneity landscape of mCRPC. Our findings reveal functional evolutionary convergence of metastatic disease into units of intra-tumour heterogeneity identifying critical determinants of metastatic progression for therapeutic targeting. Note: matched WGS for some tumour single-cell experiments, as well as germline WGS for patients CA0027, CA0034, CA0035, CA0043, and CA0076, can be found in EGAS00001006598.

Exome_trios_in_patients_with_gastroschisis

Gastroschisis (MIM 230750) is a herniation of the intestines through a defect of the abdominal wall lateral to the umbilicus (usually on the right side), and it is not covered by a membrane [Ledbetter, 2012]. Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly with increasing incidence, easy prenatal diagnosis and extremely variable postnatal outcomes. On the basis of clinical manifestations, epidemiologic charateristics, and the presence and type of additional malformations, gastroschisis could be considered a heterogeneous condition with no gene/s discovered yet. This congenital anomaly affects approximately 1-3 infancts per 10,000 live births [Calzolari et al.1995;Parker et al.,2010] Current knowledge about causative mutations/variants. To date, no single gene has been linked to gastroschisis. Some publications have tried to link this malformation to variants in genes (such as AEBP1 (adipocyte enhancer binding protein) gene [Feldkamp et al,. 2012] or the VEGF-NOS3 pathway [Lammer et al., 2008]. Previously, a Scribble mutant mouse model (circletail) was reported to exhibit gastroschisis, however recent studies demonstrated that the Scribble knockout fetus exhibits exomphalos phenotype of gastroschisis [Carnagham et al., 2013]. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

Genome-wide DNA-methylation assessment by MethylCap-seq and Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips: an independent large-scale comparison

DNA-methylation is an important epigenetic feature in health and disease. Two cost-efficient genome-scale methodologies to assess DNA-methylation are MethylCap-seq and Illumina's Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChips (HM450). However, objective information regarding the best-suited methodology for a specific research question is scant. Therefore, we performed a large-scale evaluation on a set of 70 brain tissue samples obtained from 65 glioblastoma and 5 non-tumoral brain tissues, using a gold standard free Bayesian modeling procedure. While conditional specificity was adequate for both approaches, conditional sensitivity was systematically higher for HM450. Also the genome-wide characteristics were compared, revealing that the HM450 probes assess less than 10% of the regions identified as methylated by MethylCap-seq. Hence the latter method may detect more potentially relevant DNA-methylation, defined by either functional location or previously reported differentially methylated candidate regions. Our results therefore indicate that – at least for the tissue under study - both methodologies are complementary, with a higher sensitivity for HM450, but a far larger genome-wide coverage for MethylCap-seq. Note that here only the relevant MethylCap-seq data is deposited, for the HM450 data we refer to GEO (GSE60274).

Developmental_Dysplasia_of_the_Hip__DDH_

The National Joint Registry for England and Wales (NJR) has become established as one of the largest repositories of clinical information about patients undergoing hip and knee replacement. The primary aim of this proposal is to examine the feasibility of adding value to that clinical information by partnering it with a DNA dataset to allow its use to be extended to the study of the underlying pathogenesis of diseases of the hip and knee, and the complications of their treatment. We will do this 1) by establishing a mechanism for accessing and linking pseudo-anonymised demographic and phenotype data between the NJR database and the proposed DNA Biobank; 2) by validating the collection of postal DNA samples from consenting NJR patients; and 3) by genotyping genome-wide 900 patients with the condition developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to find variants that play a role in this heritable condition. The successful demonstration that the NJR can be used to establish a DNA Biobank will provide a powerful platform to examine the genetic basis for a wide range of joint diseases, and the complications of their treatment. This proposal is to carry out the genotyping portion of this project on the current CoreExome array

Whole Exome Sequencing PPGL

Whole exome sequencing (WES) libraries were prepared with the SureSelectXT Human All Exon V6+COSMIC target enrichment system (Agilent, 5190-9307) by following kit manufacturer`s instructions. 200 ng of genomic DNA from FFPE tumoral samples and 1 µg from FF or germline samples were used as starting material. SureSelectXT HS (Agilent, G9704A) and SureSelectXT2 (Agilent, G9621A) reagent kits were alternatively used for FFPE derived and good quality samples, respectively. DNAs were fragmented on a Covaris S2 sharing instrument based on initial sample’s integrity. Fragmented DNA samples were processed through subsequent enzymatic treatments of end-repair, dA-tailing, and ligation to Illumina's adapters. Adapter-ligated libraries were PCR amplified with Illumina PE primers and subsequently hybridized to SureSelect Oligo Capture Library Mix. Biotinylated hybrids were captured and the enriched fraction eluted. Libraries were completed by limited-cycle PCR with Illumina TruSeq primers and KAPA HiFi HotStart DNA pol (Roche KK2501). Sample-specific libraries were combined into equimolarly balanced pools and applied to Illumina flow cells for cluster generation. Sequencing was performed on either the Illumina HiSeq2500 or NovaSeq6000 in a paired-end 100bp reads mode to a median target coverage of ~200x and ~100x for tumors and germline, respectively.
