• Methylation Biomarkers can Distinguish Pleural Mesothelioma from Healthy Pleura and other Pleural Pathologies

  Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer type. This study developed a methylation-based biomarker assay to distinguish PM from healthy pleura and other pleural conditions. By analyzing methylation data, 744 hypermethylated CpG sites specific to PM were identified and validated with high accuracy. Using the bisulfite-free IMPRESS technique, the assay was further validated in a diverse cohort, showing strong performance in distinguishing tumoral from non-tumoral samples and PM from pleural metastases. These findings support the assay’s potential as a robust diagnostic tool for PM.

• Androgen activity in the normal male embryonic hindbrain drives lethal PFA ependymoma

  PFA ependymoma is an unusual infantile brain tumor with few somatic mutations, thought to be driven by epigenetic mechanisms. PFA ependymomas have a markedly higher incidence, and a worse prognosis in males as compared to female infants. Here we show that the cellular hierarchy of male PFA is less differentiated than female PFA. Androgen supplementation promotes the growth of PFA ependymoma. We conclude that androgen signaling in both the normal developing hindbrain, and PFA ependymoma are both necessary and sufficient to promote growth and delay differentiation.

• Single-cell bisulfite-seq analyses of 1-year-old prospermatogonia and adult spermatogonial stem cell

  To examine the timing of de novo methylation during human male germ cell development, single-cell bisulfite sequencing was carried out on human germ cells. FACS-purified Prospermatogonia from three teratoma patients (1-year-0-month, 1-year-5-months, and 1-year-8-months) and spermatogonial stem cells from a 29-year-old obstructive azoospermia patient with normal spermatogenesis were analyzed. The three 1-year-old prospermatogonia exhibited average methylation levels of 41.4% (23.1-54.4%, 1-year-0-month), 53.1% (32.0-62.4%, 1-year-5-months), and 32.6% (10.2-54.7%, 1-year-8-months). In contrast, adult spermatogonia showed an average level of 75.7% (73.3-76.8%). Although teratoma may have influenced the developmental timing of prospermatogonia within the same testes, prospermatogonia across all 1-year-old samples remained in an intermediate phase of DNA methylation establishment.

• Analysis of Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Expressing POU2F3 Using WGS

  Lung LCNEC (Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma) has a poor prognosis, and no effective treatment has yet been established. We have found that the tuft-cell marker POU2F3 is specifically expressed in some LCNEC cases. By performing Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) on samples from 10 LCNEC patients, we aim to identify changes characteristic of LCNEC expressing POU2F3 and explore new classifications and treatment options for LCNEC.

• Whole genome sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing, and ATAC sequencing of mesothelioma (patient, patient-derived xenograft and cell line)

  Malignant pleural mesothelioma is an aggressive pleural tumor with a poor prognosis, and elucidating its molecular mechanisms is essential for improving diagnosis and treatment. This study investigates key genes and pathways involved in tumor progression, with particular attention to the involvement of neutrophils in the tumor ecosystem of mesothelioma. We performed whole-genome sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of one pleural mesothelioma tumor specimen, scRNA-seq of matched patient-derived xenograft tumors, scRNA-seq of mesothelioma-free pleural tissues from three patients, and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) of a patient-derived cell line.

• Genomic subtypes and cellular phenotypes of high-grade endometrial carcinoma

  Based on the mechanism of carcinogenesis, endometrial cancer (EC) is classified into two major types, Type I and Type II. Type I EC is characterized by G1/G2 histology, accounting for about 80% of all uterine carcinomas. On the other hand, Type II EC, which often develops after menopause, is estrogen-independent and consists of serous and clear cell carcinomas. G3 EC is often classified as a Type II EC, but the pathogenesis is thought to be a mixture of estrogen-dependent and estrogen-independent carcinogenesis. We will conduct an integrative genomic analysis to clarify the pathogenesis of Type II EC and redefine its classification by combining genomic status with cell phenotypes reflected in gene expression profiles.

• Whole exome and ChIP sequencing of external auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma (EACSCC)

  We performed whole exome sequencing of the primary tumor tissues, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from an EACSCC patient as well as the cell line established from the primary tumor tissues. We performed ChIP sequencing of primary tumor tissues and noncancerous ear skin tissues from EACSCC patients as well.
