• Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Cohort

  The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), is a prospective epidemiologic study conducted in four U.S. communities. The four communities are Forsyth County, NC; Jackson, MS; the northwest suburbs of Minneapolis, MN; and Washington County, MD. ARIC is designed to investigate the etiology and natural history of atherosclerosis, the etiology of clinical atherosclerotic diseases, and variation in cardiovascular risk factors, medical care and disease by race, gender, location, and date. ARIC includes two parts: the Cohort Component and the Community Surveillance Component. The Cohort Component began in 1987, and each ARIC field center randomly selected and recruited a cohort sample of approximately 4,000 individuals aged 45-64 from a defined population in their community. A total of 15,792 participants received an extensive examination, including medical, social, and demographic data. These participants were examined with the baseline visit occurring in 1987-89, the second visit in 1990-92, the third visit in 1993-95, the fourth visit in 1996-98, the fifth visit in 2011-13, the sixth visit 2016-17 and the seventh visit 2018-19. Follow-up occurs yearly by telephone to maintain contact with participants and to assess health status of the cohort. In the Community Surveillance Component, these four communities were investigated to determine the community-wide occurrence of hospitalized myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease deaths in men and women aged 35-84 years. Hospitalized stroke is investigated in cohort participants only. Starting in 2006, the study conducted community surveillance of inpatient (ages 55 years and older) and outpatient heart failure (ages 65 years and older) for heart failure events beginning in 2005. Community Surveillance for non-cohorts ended in event year 2014. ARIC is currently funded through 2028. The ARIC Cohort is utilized in the following dbGaP sub-studies.

• Acral Melanoma PDXs from the admixed Brazilian Population - filtered PDX sample BAM files - RNAseq

  BAM files containing the whole exome data for the Patient Derived Xenograft samples mapped to build GRCh38. All files have been processed with XenofilteR to remove mouse reads. Acral melanoma (AM) is an aggressive melanoma subtype with limited therapeutic options and poor outcomes. In non-European descent and admixed populations, like in Latin America, it can account for a significant proportion of cutaneous melanoma cases. Here, we performed comprehensive genomic and functional profiling of AM from a uniquely diverse Brazilian cohort. Whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing was performed on both tumours and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples. The PDX were obtained from a comprehensive collection of patient-derived xenograft (AM-PDX) models that we established which faithfully retained the histopathological and genomic features of the original tumours.

• Multi-Omic Profiling of Glioma Patient Tumors and Patient-Derived Model Systems

  We have created a resource of transcriptomic (RNAseq), genomic (whole-exome seq), and lipidomic (untargeted shotgun) profiling data from over 175 molecularly diverse glioma tumors and derivative models in orthotopic mouse xenografts and gliomasphere cultures from over 110 unique patient tumor lines. Provided in this dataset are matched bulk RNA and whole-exome paired-end sequencing data from resected gliomas and derived model systems performed on Illumina HiSeq and NovaSeq sequencing instruments. This comprehensive dataset powers multiple studies aiming to derive molecular signatures of intertumoral heterogeneity and perturbation responses in glioma. Through integrative multi-omic analyses in Minami, et al., 2023, PMID: 37236196, we identified that CDKN2A deletion remodels the GBM lipidome and consequently primes CDKN2A-deleted tumors for ferroptosis. Lipidomics data related to this study are publicly available here. In another study, we used a combination of molecular profiling and functional profiling of apoptotic potential to stratify patients into groups with differential vulnerability to the current standard-of-care in gliomas, and in combination with drugs targeting intrinsic apoptosis, largely informed but not limited to TP53 mutation status.

• Development of a fully human glioblastoma-in-brain-spheroid model for accelerated translational research

  In glioblastoma (GBM) the intricate interplay between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment plays a crucial role in tumor progression, invasion, and therapeutic resistance. So far, studying these interactions in a controlled and representative model system has been challenging. Here, we report the development of hGliCS, a human glioma-cortical spheroid model that allows the elucidation of the biology of GBM cells and their interactions with a human-specific brain-like microenvironment and neurons. GBM cells efficiently invade the cortical spheroids, forming a well-connected network of communicating cells. The heterogeneous cellular states of the GBM cells within this model closely resembled findings previously observed in glioblastoma patients and in mouse xenografts. We observed a transition from predominantly mesenchymal-like cells to heterotopic states with a high diversity. In contrast to the substantial changes observed in the tumor cell population, the impact of the GBM cells on the neurons was minimal. We further demonstrate the suitability of hGliCS to test compounds targeting tumor-specific neurobiological features.

• KAT6A and KAT7 Histone Acetyltransferase Complexes Are Molecular Dependencies and Therapeutic Targets in NUP98-Rearranged Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  NUP98 fusion oncoproteins (FOs) are a hallmark of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML). NUP98 FOs drive leukemogenesis through phase-separated condensate formation and maintenance of an active chromatin landscape at stem cell-associated genes in cooperation with epigenetic regulators. Here we show that MYST family histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex proteins including KAT6A/MOZ, KAT7/HBO1, and the common KAT6A/7 complex subunit BRPF1 associate with NUP98 FOs on chromatin and within condensates. MYST HATs are molecular dependencies in NUP98-rearranged (NUP98-r) leukemia, and genetic inactivation or pharmacologic inhibition of Kat6a and Kat7 impairs NUP98-r cell fitness. KAT6A/7 inhibition decreased global H3K23ac levels, displaced NUP98::HOXA9 from chromatin at the Meis1 locus, and led to myeloid cell differentiation. Additionally, KAT6A/7 inhibition decreased leukemic burden in multiple NUP98-r leukemia xenograft mouse models, synergized with Menin inhibitor treatment, and was efficacious in Menin inhibitor-resistant cells. In summary, we show that MYST family HATs are therapeutically actionable dependencies in NUP98-r AML.

• Anti-TIGIT antibody tiragolumab improves PD-L1 blockade via myeloid and Treg cells

  Tiragolumab, an anti-TIGIT antibody with an active IgG1/kappa Fc, demonstrated improved outcomes in the phase 2 CITYSCAPE trial (NCT03563716) when combined with atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) versus atezolizumab alone1. However, there remains little consensus on the mechanism(s) of response with this combination2. We found that high baseline intratumoral macrophages and Tregs were associated with better outcomes in patients treated with atezolizumab plus tiragolumab but not with atezolizumab alone. Serum sample analysis revealed that macrophage activation was associated with clinical benefit in patients receiving the combination treatment. In mouse tumor models, tiragolumab surrogate antibodies inflamed tumor-associated macrophages, monocytes, and dendritic cells through Fc gamma receptors (FcɣR), in turn driving anti-tumor CD8+ T cells from an exhausted effector-like state to a more memory-like one. These results uncover a mechanism of action by which TIGIT checkpoint inhibitors can remodel immunosuppressive tumor microenvironments, and suggest that FcɣR engagement is an important consideration in anti-TIGIT antibody development.

• Development of the prevention and therapy of CRC using patient derived culture tissues.

  Tumor tissues consist of functionally heterogeneous cells including those with high clonogenic potential called cancer stem cells (CSCs) which produce differentiated non-tumorigenic progenies. Transplantation assays have been performed to identify cell surface markers in solid tumors including colorectal cancers, which identified several CSC markers such as CD133 and CD44. In addition to the transplantation, the lineage tracing of genetically labelling cells in animal models of cancer qhas been employed to explore the cellular heterogeneity of tumors by identifying the CSCs and its progenies. This approach is particularly useful to investigate solid tumors, where cellular proliferation and differentiation are controlled by niche factors and cell-cell contact with adjacent cells. Lineage tracing of mouse model of cancer unravel the mode of growth of autochthonous tumor in their native environment. In this study, we used patient derived organoids (PDO) established from surgically resected CRC patients to identify the CSC. Single cell RNA-seq analysis identified potential CRC markers, which may exhibit self-renewal activity and produce progenitors

• High MAPK Activity Leading to Reduced WNT Signaling Drives Metastasis in Colorectal Cancer

  Colorectal cancer, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality due to distant metastases, is driven by activating mutations in the Wnt and MAPK pathways. Understanding the interplay between these crucial pathways during metastatic progression is essential for developing effective treatments. Here we developed an immunocompetent mouse model of metastatic colorectal cancer using in vivo orthotopic passaging. We demonstrate that highly metastatic tumor cells exhibit chromosomal amplifications in MAPK pathway genes, leading to increased MAPK activity, which in turn suppresses Wnt-associated transcriptional programs, including stem cell-associated genes. Inhibiting mutant KrasG12D effectively reversed this metastatic transcriptional state, reducing MAPK-driven gene expression and restoring Wnt activity. Notably, this treatment significantly curtailed lung metastases and reduced liver metastases during early seeding stages. Analysis of CRC patient data revealed that high MAPK activity and the associated metastatic gene signature correlated with poorer survival outcomes. These findings underscore that the plasticity of metastasis-initiating cells in CRC arises from the opposing roles of MAPK and Wnt signaling, despite their synergistic importance in colon tumor initiation.

• ABO: a 3D stroma-supported culture platform enabling full human B lymphopoiesis for disease modeling and gene therapy development

  Defective B-cell development underlies a large proportion of inborn errors of immunity, but progress in understanding disease mechanisms and of developing therapies has been limited by inadequate human in vitro models. Here, we establish a 3D aggregate culture platform composed of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mouse bone marrow stromal cells as an assay for efficient B-cell output (the ABO platform). ABOs supported progression through pro-B, pre-B, immature, and transitional B-cell stages, with a transcriptional profile and B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire diversity closely resembling human bone marrow B-cell ontogeny. ABO-derived B cells exhibited functional signaling and differentiated into class-switched memory and antibody-secreting B cells following CD40-mediated stimulation. The ABO platform reproduced the arrest in B-cell development observed in RAG1-SCID patient–derived HSPCs, which was corrected by lentiviral RAG1 gene therapy. Thus, ABOs provide a clinically relevant platform for modeling B-cell immunodeficiencies and evaluating therapeutic strategies.

• Assessment_of_epigenetic_variation_in_human_iPS_cells_Medip

  n order to progress human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) towards the clinic, several outstanding questions must be addressed. It is possible to reprogram different somatic cell types into hiPSCs and from studies in the mouse, it appears that an epigenetic memory of the starting cell type is carried over to hiPSCs. However a comprehensive comparative study of the characteristics of these hiPSCs has been missing from the literature. Importantly studies which aimed to address these aspects of hiPSCs have used cells from different patients. In order to avoid this important confounding variable and to keep the genetic background constant, tissue samples were procured from the patients and reprogrammed to iPS cells. The methylation status of these iPS cells will be compared.Protocol:Primary cell cultures were generated and reprogrammed to iPS cells. DNA was extracted and immunoprecipitated using anti-methyl cytosine and anti-hydroxymethyl cytosine antibodies.This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Mesenchymal inflammation drives genotoxic stress in hematopoietic stem cells and predicts disease evolution in human pre-leukemia

  Mesenchymal niche cells may drive tissue failure and malignant transformation in the hematopoietic system but the molecular mechanisms and their relevance to human disease remain poorly defined. We demonstrated that perturbation of mesenchymal cells in a mouse model of the preleukemic disorder Shwachman-Diamond syndrome induces mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress and activation of DNA damage responses in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. In this study we demonstrate, through massive parallel RNA sequencing of highly purified mesenchymal cells in a range of human preleukemic syndromes, TP53-S100A8/9-TLR4 inflammatory signaling as a common driving mechanism of genotoxic stress, which could be attenuated by TLR4 blockade. S100A8/9 expression in mesenchymal cells predicted outcome in myelodysplastic syndromes, the principal human preleukemic condition, independent of known prognostic variables. Collectively, findings reveal a concept of mesenchymal niche-induced genotoxic stress in heterotypic stem and progenitor cells through inflammatory signaling as an actionable determinant of disease outcome in human preleukemia. The data further provide novel conceptual and mechanistic insights into the intimate link between inflammation and cancer.

• RNA-seq study of a Princess Margaret Cancer Centre human acute myeloid leukemia patient cohort

  The PMCC AML RNAseq dataset consists of 81 AML patient samples (clinical data in Supplemental Table 11 of manuscript), processed in two batches. These patient samples are able to engraft in the NSG (NOD.Cg PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1Wjl /SzJ) mouse model. Five patients (90543, 598, 90240, 110484, 100500) were included in both batches. Viaably frozen material from the Leukemia Tissue Bank at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre/ University Health Network were thawed by dropwise addition of X-VIVO + 50% fetal calf serum supplemented with DNase (100μg/mL final concentration, Roche). RNA was extracted from bulk peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) using the RNeasy Micro Kit (Qiagen Inc.). A paired-end 76 base-pair flow-cell lane Illumina High seq 2000 yielded an average of 240 million sequence reads aligning to genome per sample at the Genome Sciences Centre, BC Cancer Agency for cohort 1. Cohort 2 was subjected to 125 bp, paired-end RNA-sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 with an average of 50 million reads/sample at the Centre for Applied Genomics, Sick Kids Hospital.

• Multi-omic analysis of cell-of-origin and epigenomic state in pediatric H3K27M gliomas

  It is not known whether midline pediatric gliomas driven by Histone 3 K27M mutations (oncohistones) or EZHIP expression (oncohistone-mimics) share a common cell-of-origin, or arise from distinct cell types with unique vulnerabilities to PRC2 inhibition and partner alterations. Here, we define the etiological and oncogenic relationship between pediatric midline gliomas characterized by inhibition of K27M and K27M-like oncohistones. We assemble an extensive reference for gliogenesis from the developing mouse and human fetal brain. With bulk and single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics, we profiled a large cohort of primary tumors comprising H3.1K27M and H3.3K27M pontine gliomas, H3.3K27M thalamic gliomas, and EZHIP+ posterior fossa ependymomas. We focus on differences across axes of location (thalamus vs. pons vs. posterior fossa), tumor type (diffuse midline gliomas vs. ependymomas), and oncohistone (H3.1/2K27M vs. H3.3K27M vs. EZHIP). We use tumor molecular features to delineate transcriptional states and cell-of-origin in each entity. Finally, we use culture models in isogenic contexts to interrogate the effect of each oncohistone or mimic.

• Whole genome sequencing data from tumor and normal samples

  Whole genome sequencing FASTQ files from tumor and normal samples from 202 patients. All experiments reported in this article were performed in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified and College of American Pathologists (CAP)-accredited laboratories at Personalis Inc., as guided by the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) and CAP’s joint recommendations52. Preferred input material consisting of FFPE slides (enabling H&E and macrodissection which is part of the standard NeXT Personal process) was not available for the majority (94%) of tumor samples. Most tumor samples (72%) were processed from FFPE curls, with the remaining processed from pre-extracted DNA and fresh frozen material. Where FFPE material on slide was available, tumor sections were macrodissected to increase tumor content, with a minimum allowable cellularity threshold of 20% determined by pathological review. The tumor cellularity threshold of 20% was chosen based on prior work demonstrating that no significant correlation is observed between tumor purity and assay limit of detection (LOD) at this threshold31. Genomic DNA was isolated from tumor and normal samples and WGS libraries prepared as previously described31. Genomic DNA was isolated from matched tumor and normal samples using the Qiagen AllPrep DNA/RNA FFPE Tissue Kit or the QIAamp DNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germantown, MD, USA) using internally optimized workflows. WGS sequencing libraries were prepared with 120-500 ng of acoustically sheared genomic DNA (Covaris LLC, Woburn, MA, USA) using the KAPA HyperPrep Kit (Roche Sequencing Solutions, Pleasanton, CA, USA) and customized methods. Libraries were cleaned-up using AMPure XP beads and then quantified using the KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche Sequencing Solutions, Pleasanton, CA, USA), before being sequenced to 30X depth of coverage using a NovaSeq 6000 instrument (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).

• Analysis of TKI resistant mechanism for gastrointstinal stromal tumor

  Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal tumor of the digestive tract and the proliferation is driven by gain-of-function mutations in KIT. Despite its proven benefits, half of the patients treated with imatinib develop disease progression within 2 years due to secondary resistance mutations in the KIT kinase domains. To characterize the changes associated with imatinib resistance, we performed genomic and transcriptomic analyses of four resistant cell lines and one cell line briefly exposed to imatinib. We also performed exome sequencing of drug-resistant clinical samples.

• WES of Mino-VEN-R Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cells

  This project investigates the genetic basis of therapy resistance in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) using whole exome sequencing (WES) of the Mino_VEN_R cell line, a model of resistance to pirtobrutinib, a non-covalent BTK inhibitor. Our study suggested that drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cells evade therapy through metabolic and phenotypic reprogramming. By analyzing the exome profile of resistant cells, this study aims to identify mutations associated with treatment escape and cellular plasticity. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of resistance mechanisms and support the development of more effective therapeutic strategies.

• High-resolution lung adenocarcinoma expression subtypes identify tumors with dependencies on MET, CDK4, CDK6, and PD-L1

  Lung adenocarcinoma is one of the most common cancer types with various treatment modalities. However, better biomarkers to predict therapeutic response are still needed to improve precision medicine. We utilized a consensus hierarchical clustering approach on 509 LUAD cases from TCGA to identify five robust LUAD expression subtypes. We then integrated genomic (patient and cell line) and proteomic data to help define biomarkers of response to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. This approach defined subtypes with unique proteogenomic and dependency profiles.
