• Neoadjuvant atezolizumab plus chemotherapy in gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma: the phase 2 PANDA trial

  Gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancers carry a poor prognosis, and despite recent advancements most patients die of their disease. While immune checkpoint blockade has become part of the standard of care for patients with metastatic G/GEJ cancers, its efficacy and impact on the tumor microenvironment in the early disease setting remain largely unknown. We hypothesized a higher efficacy of neoadjuvant immunotherapy plus chemotherapy in patients with non-metastatic G/GEJ cancer. In the phase 2 PANDA trial, patients with previously untreated resectable G/GEJ tumors (n=21) received neoadjuvant treatment with one cycle of atezolizumab monotherapy followed by 4 cycles of atezolizumab plus docetaxel, oxaliplatin and capecitabine. Treatment was well-tolerated, and all patients underwent resection without treatment-related delays, meeting the primary endpoint of safety and feasibility. Tissue was obtained at multiple time points, allowing analysis of the effects of single-agent PD-L1 blockade and the subsequent combination with chemotherapy on the tumor microenvironment. A total of 21 patients were included, of whom 20 patients underwent surgery and were evaluable for the secondary pathologic response and survival endpoints, while 19 were evaluable for exploratory translational analyses. A major pathologic response (MPR, ≤10% residual viable tumor) was observed in 14/20 (70%; 95% CI 46-88%) patients, including 9 (45%; 95% CI 23-68%) pathologic complete responses. At a median follow-up of 47 months, 13/14 responders were alive and disease-free, while 5/6 nonresponders had died due to disease recurrence. Notably, baseline PD-1+CD8+ T cell infiltration was significantly higher in responders than in nonresponders, and comparison of the tumor microenvironment alterations following anti-PD-L1 monotherapy versus the subsequent combination with chemotherapy revealed that increased immune activity was achieved upon single-agent PD-1/L1 axis blockade. Based on these data, anti-PD-L1 plus chemotherapy warrants further exploration in patients with non-metastatic G/GEJ cancer, and these results call for validation in a larger cohort.

• Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA) Genomic Studies of Oral Health and Disease

  The purpose of this project is to identify the genetic factors contributing to dental caries in children and adults. The datasets come from the Center for Oral Health Research in Appalachia (COHRA), which has the long-term goal of determining the sources of oral health disparities in a high risk, Northern Appalachian population so that effective preventive interventions can be designed and targeted. The Specific Aims of this project are to perform genome-wide association scans of dental caries of the (1) primary dentition in children, and (2) permanent dentition in adults, to identify novel risk variants and to replicate previously nominated risk variants. This project brings together samples from three cohorts: COHRA1 is a cross-sectional cohort comprising members of 862 northern Appalachian families; approximately 80% of the cohort has been previously genotyped by the Center for Inherited Disease Research with support from NIDCR using the Illumina Quad W array (see dbGaP Study Accession: phs000095.v3.p1). Dental SCORE is a cross-sectional cohort comprising approximately 550 unrelated individuals who underwent the same data collection protocol as COHRA1. COHRA2 is an ongoing longitudinal cohort that recruited approximately 1100 northern Appalachian women during pregnancy, and followed them and their children through their children's early childhood; the current project period will continue data collect though age 6 of the child. Phenotypes for this project were derived from intra-oral examinations performed by trained and calibrated research hygienists. In brief, each tooth was recorded as present or absent, and each surface of each present tooth was scored for evidence of decay. From these data, dental caries indices were generated. This project contains two phases of genotyping: (1) collection of exome SNP Chip data for the previously genotyped COHRA1 samples, and (2) collection of whole-genome SNP Chip data for the remaining COHRA1 samples and all Dental SCORE and COHRA2 samples. These data will support efforts to test hypotheses regarding the causal relationships of risk factors contributing to the unusually high rates of caries formation in the Appalachian population. Ultimately, these data may inform the development of an integrated model of caries risk, in which the effects of genetics, oral ecology, diet, and other environmental/psychosocial factors and behaviors are modeled in concert to explain the disparities, including the high rate of caries onset before age 6. The gene-mapping Aims of this project, which seek to identify the genetic factors that contribute to caries risk, are a requisite step in realizing this integrated model.

• Single Cell and Spatial Transcriptomic Profiling of Haemophilus ducreyi Infection

  We investigated the immune response in end-point pustules formed by Haemophilus ducreyi in volunteers using an experimental infection model. Six volunteers were infected in the skin of the upper arm at three sites with 41-85 CFU of H. ducreyi loaded on an allergy testing device; a sham-inoculated (e.g., wound) site was also performed. Five volunteers (4 men and 1 woman; 2 Asians and 3 Whites; aged 27-46 years) formed pustules 6-8 days post infection; 1 volunteer spontaneously resolved all sites. If a volunteer formed pustules, biopsies were performed to collect their pustule and wound sites. Biopsy pairs for all 5 pustule formers were subjected to single cell (sc) RNA-seq. Sequencing libraries were prepared using the 10X Genomics Single-cell 3' RNA-seq kit. Spatial transcriptomics was performed on biopsy pairs from 4 of the 5 pustule formers. Ten micron sections were placed on 10X Genomics Visium slides for fresh-frozen tissue, and libraries were prepared with the 10X Genomics Visium spatial 3' gene expression kit. All samples were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Count tables were produced with CellRanger and SpaceRanger, respectively, and Seurat was used to analyze the data. We identified 13 major cell types by scRNA-seq; the proportion of some immune cell subsets was increased in pustules compared to wound sites. We also localized the major cell types within the tissue by using the scRNA-seq data to deconvolve the spatial transcriptomic data. The FASTQ files and count tables from CellRanger and SpaceRanger are provided.

• Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis in ERBB2-Amplified Colorectal Cancer: Biomarker Analysis of the MyPathway Trial

  Combination of two HER2-directed antibodies, pertuzumab and trastuzumab (P+T), has antitumor activity in HER2-positive colorectal cancer (CRC). Although liquid biopsies are increasingly being used in clinical oncology, the association between tumor and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) ERBB2 status and ctDNA monitoring for early response and resistance are unknown. Eighty-five patients with ERBB2-amplified and/or overexpressed CRC were treated with P+T in the MyPathway trial; 42 had ctDNA testing at Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1), and 38 had longitudinal plasma tested for ctDNA. We analyzed the ctDNA vs tissue ERBB2 concordance, genomic co-alterations, and ctDNA dynamics and association with response. Forty-one (98%) of 42 patients had genomic alterations detected in ctDNA at C1D1, and 29 (69%) had ERBB2 amplification in ctDNA. There was a strong correlation between ERBB2 copy number on next-generation sequencing in tissue and C1D1 ERBB2 ctDNA copy number. Thirty-seven percent achieved a molecular response by C3D1 on P+T, which was associated with prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival (OS). CDKN2A and KRAS mutations were associated with shorter OS, and a trend was seen with PIK3CA mutations. Several emerging co-alterations were identified in ctDNA at progression, including in the MAPK and PI3K pathways and other tyrosine receptor kinases. ctDNA can detect ERBB2 amplification in many, but not all, patients with ERBB2 amplification detected in tumor samples. ctDNA molecular response was associated with better survival, and ctDNA co-alterations may offer insights into mechanisms of intrinsic and acquired resistance.

• scRNA seq and scTCR seq data from 5 melanoma patients

  The Chromium Controller and Chromium X platfor of 10X Genomics were used for single cell partitioning and barcoding. Each cell's transcriptome was barcoded during reverse transcription, pooled cDNA was amplified and Single Cell 5' Gene Expression (GEX), V(D)J and Feature Barcode (FB) Libraries were prepared according to the manufacturer's protocols (CG000330 and CG000331, 10X Genomics). All libraries were quantified and normalized on library QC data generated on the Bioanalyzer system according to manufacturer's protocols (G2938-90321 and G2938-90024, Agilent Technologies). Based on the expected target cell counts, a balanced library sub-pool of samples was compsed for SC5'GEX, V(D)J and FB libraries. Library sub-pools were quantified by qPCR, accodring to the KAPA Library Quantification Kit Illumina(R) Platforms protocol (KR0405, KAPA Biosystems). Based on qPCR results a final sequencing pool was composed. Paired end sequencing was performed on a NovaSeq 6000 Instrument (Illumina) using NovaSeq 6000 Reagent Kits v1.5 100 cycles (cat. no. 20028401, 20028319, 20028316 Illumina), using 28 cycles for Read 1, 10 cycles for Read i7, 10 cycles for Read i5 and 90 cycles for Read 2.

• WES Breast Patient-derived Tumor Organoid

  This dataset includes 18 Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) samples from 5 subjects. WES is performed on a matched pair of case/control samples, e.g., tumor/control or organoid/control. For each patient, the same control sample is used for the analysis of tumor and organoid samples. The sample name structure identifies the type of sample: <subjectId>_[TON][12]_[Case|Ctrl]_EX2; where T, O, and N refer to Tumor tissue, Organoid, and control sample, respectively. The number 1 or 2 refers to the specific tissue, and Case and Ctrl indicate a tumor tissue (or organoid) and a control sample, respectively. For example, ICSBCS007_T1_Case_EX2 is the first tumor tissue of subject ICSBCS007; ICSBCS007_O1_Case_EX2 is the tumor organoid derived from that tumor sample, and ICSBCS007_N1_Ctrl_EX2 is the matching control sample. More information can be found in the sample information table.

• Evaluation of protocols for rRNA depletion-based RNA sequencing of nanogram inputs of mammalian total RNA

  Next generation RNA-Sequencing (RNA-seq) is a flexible approach that can be applied to e.g. global quantification of transcript expression, the characterization of RNA structure such as splicing patterns and profiling of expressed mutations. Many RNA-seq protocols require up to microgram levels of total RNA input amounts to generate high quality data, and thus remain impractical for the limited starting material amounts typically obtained from rare cell populations, such as those from early developmental stages or from laser micro-dissected clinical samples. Here, we present an assessment of the contemporary ribosomal RNA depletion-based protocols, and identify those that are suitable for inputs as low as 1-10 ng of intact total RNA and 100-500 ng of partially degraded RNA from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.

• Variant calls for "Quality of Whole Genome Sequencing from Blood versus Saliva Derived DNA in Cardiac Patients"

  Paired blood and saliva samples from five unrelated individuals were directly compared for quality of whole genome sequencing. Two (Sample Pairs 1 and 2) were female probands diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot, a type of congenital heart disease, and three (Sample Pairs 3, 4 and 5) were male probands diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. WGS was performed using Illumina HiSeq X to a target average coverage depth of 30x and a read length of 150 bp. The resulting reads were not filtered for minimum quality in order to avoid losing possible contaminant reads. Sequencing read alignment was done using Isaac Aligner to human genome build hg19. Short variant i.e. single-nucleotide variant (SNV) and small insertion-deletion (indel) calling was performed using Isaac Variant Caller with default parameters.

• A developmental cell atlas of the human thyroid gland

  Thyroid hormones are essential for health, but human thyroid development and cellular heterogeneity are poorly understood. We generated a high-resolution, spatiotemporal transcriptional atlas of human fetal thyroid, and examined its perturbations in trisomy 21 (T21), where aberrant thyroid development is associated with congenital hypothyroidism, and in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Normal tissue revealed two functional follicular cell states (fTFC1, fTFC2) with divergent PAX8 expression levels, persisting into adulthood. Additionally, the rare C-cell population was comprehensively profiled at single-cell resolution for the first time. T21 fetal thyroid was hypoplastic, with disrupted follicular morphology and altered expression of genes mediating cellular topology and extracellular matrix interactions. Finally, the transcriptional signals of both fetal follicular cell states were found to be perturbed in PTC. Overall, we defined a reference atlas for normal human fetal thyrocyte heterogeneity and provided novel insights into thyroid disorders.
