• Amplicon sequencing of various tumors

  In our previous studies on advanced esophageal, gastric, and colorectal carcinomas, measurement of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in terms of variant allele frequency (VAF) in blood suggested: (1) patients with high VAF have a high chance of relapse; (2) VAF changes in response to treatment; and (3) ctDNA VAF elevation precedes imaging diagnosis of relapse. It is thus necessary to investigate whether these findings can be generalized in a wide cancer spectrum, types of treatment, and relapse phenotypes across cancer types. In the present study, we conduct a non-interventional observational study in a wide cancer spectrum on the basis of technical establishment for ctDNA using our unique digital PCR probe library.

• CRC Promoter capture Hi-C

  Genome organisation determines chromosome interactions between regulatory elements, such as promoters and enhancers, influencing gene expression. Despite the fact that it is possible to assess whether a gene is actively transcribed, it has been challenging to point out the genomic regions that are involved in the regulation of a particular gene. We are interested in better understanding the interactions between promoters and their regulatory elements in colorectal cancer in order to unveil novel non-coding regions which might have a role in tumour development. To do so, we utilise the HiC method complemented with promoter capture in combination with NGS to map promoter interactions in two CRC cell lines, representing two distinct CRC subtypes.

• PPIL4 is essential for brain angiogenesis and implicated in intracranial aneurysm in humans

  Rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a sudden-onset disease often causing severe disability or death. Using whole exome sequencing, we identified significant enrichment of rare, deleterious mutations in PPIL4 in both index and familial IA cases. Ppil4 depletion causes intracerebral hemorrhage, defects in cerebrovascular morphology, and impaired Wnt signaling in vivo. Wild type, but not IA-mutant PPIL4, potentiates Wnt signaling by binding JMJD6, a known angiogenesis regulator and Wnt activator. These findings identify a novel PPIL4-dependent Wnt signaling mechanism involved in brain-specific angiogenesis and maintenance of cerebrovascular integrity, and implicate PPIL4 gene variation in the pathogenesis of human IA.

• Breast Cancer Follow Up Series

  This study's purpose is to use data generated in whole genome and exome Breast Cancer sequencing to target specific areas in multiple other Breast Cancer samples. These areas will then be subjected to PCR in multiple cases, tagged and then pool the resultant amplicons. These amplicons will then be sequenced on the Illumina GAII. This is hoped to show the prevalence of previous findings in multiple individuals in a high throughput method.

• Analytical study of protein function and RNA expression involved in predicting treatment efficacy and adverse event development in lung cancer radiotherapy.

  The purpose of this study is to elucidate the functions of DNA repair proteins and RNA expression that are involved in the therapeutic efficacy and adverse events of radiotherapy for lung cancer at our hospital. In particular, this is an exploratory study to identify proteins and RNAs involved in the expression of proteins that are likely to be involved in the prediction of radiotherapy response and adverse events.

• Spatial transcriptomics analysis of HPV-dependent and HPV-independent vulval squamous cell carcinoma

  In this study we have used sequencing-based spatial transcriptomics (ST) optimised for FFPE tissue to investigate gene expression in a cohort of HPVi and HPVd VSCC, including assessment of pre-invasive LS, HSIL and DVIN and associated inflammation. Our data indicate significant differences in gene expression between VSCC of different aetiologies, with marked differences in immune-related gene expression both within the invasive disease and in peri-tumoural inflammatory areas.

• Targeted sequencing of breast cancer susceptibility genes for 1,995 Japanese breast cancer patients

  In this study, we investigated pathogenic germline variants in 11 genes implicated in hereditary breast cancer, including BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, CDH1, STK11, NF1, PALB2, ATM, CHEK2, NBN1, in a total of 1,995 unselected Japanese women with breast cancer using targeted-capture sequencing of pooled DNA (n = 106).

• 3D-GSC_expression_profiles

  In this study, we used RNA-sequencing gene expression profiling in order to characterize specific phenotypic traits in DIPG-derived glioma stem cell (GSC) models. Twenty-two primary GSC models derived from biopsies collected at diagnosis were cultured in an ECM-mimicking compound before for RNA extraction and subsequent rRNA-depletion and sequencing .
