• WES sequencing of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours

  Investigate the genomic landscape of MPNST tumours. Cases where a diagnosis of MPNST had been considered in the differential diagnosis with a variable degree of confidence was included. The diagnosis of MPNST was excluded in 12/51 (49 cases had WES data) of the sequenced tumours following review of the pathology, new IHC, molecular tests and clinical information. Article: Lyskjær et al, 2020, J Pathol, "H3K27me3 expression and methylation status in histological variants of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours".

• Multi-omics analysis of primary glioblastoma cell-lines shows recapitulation of pivotal molecular features of parental tumors

  Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest primary brain cancer in adults. Emerging innovative therapies hold promise for personalized cancer treatment. Improving therapeutic options depends on research relying on relevant preclinical models. In this line we have established in the setting of the GlioTeX project (GBM and experimental therapeutics), a GBM-patient derived cell line library (GBM-PDCL). Multi-OMIC approach was used to determine the molecular landscape of PDCL and the extent to which they represent GBM tumors.

• We performed an integrative analysis to determine genomic aberrations common to sporadic schwannomas.

  Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve sheath tumors that can cause significant debilitating morbidities. We performed an integrative analysis to determine genomic aberrations common to sporadic schwannomas. Exome sequence analysis with validation by targeted DNA-sequencing of 125 samples uncovered, in addition to expected NF2 disruption additional recurrent mutations. RNA sequencing identified a recurrent in-frame SH3PXD2A-HTRA1 fusion in 12/125 (10%) cases, and genomic analysis demonstrated the mechanism as resulting from a balanced 19Mb chromosomal inversion on chromosome 10q.

• Discovering genetic causes of optic atrophy syndromes through whole exome sequencing

  The genetic defects leading to optic atrophy range from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations in Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), to dominant and recessive mutations affecting a cluster of nuclear genes implicated in mitochondrial dynamics. We performed WES in patients with an optic atrophy spectrum disorder, including retinal macular dystrophy and kidney insufficiency leading to transplantation, associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) depletion without accumulation of multiple deletions, to identify the genetic causes of this syndrome.

• The T cell receptor repertoire of tumor infiltrating T cells is predictive and prognostic for cancer survival

  Tumor infiltration by T cells is paramount for effective anti-cancer immune responses. We hypothesized that the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of tumor infiltrating T lymphocytes (TIL/Tc) could determine disease course at different stages in cancer progression. We show that the diversity of the TIL/Tc TCR at baseline is prognostic in various cancers, whereas in metastatic melanoma TIL/Tc TCR clonality at baseline is predictive for activity and efficacy of PD1 blockade immunotherapy.

• LCM-RNAseq on human lung macrophages

  In the reported study, we employed Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) for the transcriptome profiling of lung macrophages cells populations as a function of location within the healthy tissue. In detail, macrophage mini-bulks (100 cells each) were collected by LCM from 4 healthy human donors in 5 different locations of the airways (a total of 20 biopsies), including parenchyma (L1 – lower left lobe (LLL); L6 – 80% distance from LLL tip), trachea (L2), bronchi (L3 – 1st/2nd generation; L5 – 3rd/4th generation) and processed for RNA-seq.

• Single cell multi-omic data of glioblastoma evolution under therapy

  We report a single-cell multi-omics atlas of GBM longitudinal specimens that represents decades of biobanking. We identify novel cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic targets for therapy development which we validate in situ and in low-passage patient-derived cell lines. We identify novel genetic correlates of the mesenchymal cellular phenotype. These studies integrate disparate findings in the literature around hypermutation status and immunogenicity as well as the source of the mesenchymal shift at recurrence.

• Illumina RNA sequencing for HLA expression qauntification

  In this study, we quantified mRNA expression levels of HLA class I and II genes from peripheral blood samples of 50 healthy individuals. The gene- and allele-specific mRNA expression was assessed using unique molecular identifiers, which enabled PCR bias removal and calculation of the number of original mRNA transcripts. We identified differences in mRNA expression between different HLA genes and alleles. Our results suggest that HLA alleles are differentially expressed and these differences in expression levels are quantifiable using RNA sequencing technology.

• Endothelium-derived stromal cells contribute to bone marrow niche formation

  Comprehensive transcriptional characterization of bone marrow stromal cells by RNA sequencing was performed to determine the molecular properties/signatures of endothelium during niche formation.Here, we identify a rare subset of cells in the human fetal BM that co-express endothelial and stromal markers, including low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR/CD271). They display transcriptional reprogramming consistent with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), reflected in their potential to generate stromal cells with in vivo BM niche forming capacity.

• ctDNA multigenic panel for non-small cell lung cancer

  Detection of actionable mutations in liquid biopsies constitute an important tool for management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients in the era of oncology precision medicine. We aimed to evaluate the actionable alterations using a commercial multi-gene panel in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) derived from plasma samples of treatment naïve and prior-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. For this, we analyze plasma samples of 30 subjects with non-small cell lung cancer.
