Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows substantial intra-tumor heterogeneity that remains poorly understood. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identified 13 recurrent tumor and stromal micro-ecosystems (MES) and mapped their spatial organization and biological functions. One immune-enriched MES containing Kupffer cell–like macrophages was strongly associated with improved disease-free survival and response to atezolizumab–bevacizumab. Our findings demonstrate the value of spatial profiling for revealing rare but clinically meaningful cellular communities.
Single-cell RNA-sequencing of brain organoids at day 120 grown in four distinct growth protocols designed to generate dorsal (D) and ventral (V) forebrain, midbrain (M) and striatum (S) tissue using eight different pluripotent stem cell lines. Per per cell line-protocol combination two organoids (biological replicates) were grown. For cell line 176 the experiment was conducted in two independent biological replicates (repititions E1 and E2).
Co-culture experiments of primary lymphoid and DLBCL-derived immortalized FRCs (iFRC) followed by scRNA-seq. iFRCs as well as lymphocytes from DLBCL samples (n=3) were harvested after 24h of incubation and different experimental conditions were multiplexed using in-house cell multiplexing oligonucleotides (CMOs; full list of barcodes provided in Table S9). Cells were incubated with CMOs at a final concentration of 1.8 μM for 20 minutes on ice, followed by four washes with PBS (centrifugation at 400 × g for 3 minutes at 4 °C). Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and multiplexing libraries were prepared using the 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Gene Expression v4 assay, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using paired-end 100 bp reads on an S4 flow cell.
Single-cell RNA sequencing of flow cytometry sorted human CD45+ immune cells from 3 systemic lupus erythematosus patients (SLE_002, SLE_004, and SLE_006) collected at baseline (day 0, before interleukin-2 immunotherpay) and day 5 (after 1 treatment cycle of interleukin-2 immunotherapy). Sorted immune cells were hash tagged and then stained with TotalSeq Human Universal Cocktail (Biolegend) before further processing for single-cell RNA sequencing using the 10X-Genomics platform. Samples from all 3 patients were pooled and loaded on 3 lanes of the chromium controller, resulting in 1 raw sequncing file for each lane.
We integrated over 8,000 transcriptomes and over 2,000 samples with multilevel genomic data of hematological cancers to investigate how immunological features are linked to cancer subtypes, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and patient survival. For more detailed follow-up analyses in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on 8 AML bone marrow samples at diagnosis to profile the phenotypes of blasts and infiltrating immune cells in different disease subtypes.
Amplicon sequencing data for 90 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. to general ward. Patients had a median age of 60.5 (52.0 – 69.3) years and were overweighted (Body mass index: 28.4 (24.4 – 32.6) kg/m2). 35.6% of the cohort were female. The following genes were sequenced on a NovaSeq600 instrument with an Enrichment based library preparation (IDT-xGEN) with a median coverage of 2000x: ABL1, ASXL1, ATRX, BCOR, BCORL1, BRAF, CALR, CBL, CBLB, CBLC, CDKN2A, CEBPA, CSF3R, CUX1, DNMT3A, ETV6, EZH2, FBXW7, FLT3, FLT3-ITD, GATA1, GATA2, GNAS, GNB1, HRAS, IDH1, IDH2, IKZF1, JAK2, JAK3, KDM6A, KIT, KMT2A, KRAS, MPL, MYD88, NOTCH1, NPM1, NRAS, PDGFRA, PHF6, PPM1D, PTEN, PTPN11, RAD21, RUNX1, SETBP1, SF3B1, SMC1A, SMC3, SRSF2, STAG2, TET2, TP53, U2AF1, WT1, ZRSR2
We generated primary cultures from mechanically isolated kidney glomeruli (filtration unit of the nephron) which are composed of podocytes and mesangial cells. In parallel, we generated primary kidney cortex tubule cell cultures, which are composed primarily of proximal tubule cells. Early passage cultures of these two cell types were subjected to chromatin accessibility profiling (DNase-Seq) and gene expression profiling (RNA-Seq). We found thousands of dynamically regulated enhancers in both cell types that potentially regulate nearby and distal target genes that are differentially expressed. These data will be useful for understanding the epigenomic regulation of gene transcription in key kidney cell types.
The dataset for Detection and characterization of lung cancer using cell-free DNA fragmentomes includes 872 bam files from whole genome next-generation sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq2500. The samples analyzed include plasma samples from healthy individuals and patients with cancer.
High-coverage (>30X) whole genome data (FASTQ) for 25 southern African Khoe-San individuals (from five populations). These are the same individuals as in Schlebusch et al. 2020 (EGAD00001006183), but different data.
The dataset contains raw data of 27 bulk RNA-sequencing data from 9 cHL cell lines. Paired-end fastq with polyA capture are available for each cell line.
