• DNA methylation and transposable element landscapes define human regulatory T cells in tissues and identify their blood recirculating counterpart

  Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) in tissues can perform immunoregulatory and tissue-regenerative functions. Despite these important tasks, human-tissue Treg cells lack understanding, specifically, the epigenetic basis of their differentiation as well as re-circulating tissue-Treg cells are incompletely understood. Here, we performed genome-wide DNA methylation analysis of human Treg cells from skin and blood and embedded this in a multi-omic epigenetic framework including chromatin accessibility and gene-expression. We thereby revealed novel epigenetic programs defining human skin Treg cell differentiation and delineated how these are present on the different epigenetic levels. We discovered that transposable elements are an integral constituent of the demethylation landscape in skin Treg cells. Based on TCR-sequencing and DNA demethylation homologies, our data unveil that blood CCR8+ Treg cells are recirculatory human tissue-Treg cells. Our data provide novel insights in human tissue-Treg biology, required to harness these cells for therapeutic avenues.

• A Translational, Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacokinetic Phase IB Clinical Study of Everolimus in Resectable Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

  This phase IB clinical trial studied the pharmacodynamic changes induced by everolimus in patients with previously untreated, resectable non small cell lung cancer. Using a combination of in vivo and ex vivo assessments with FDG PET, immunohistochemistry and genomic assays, evidence of mTOR pathway perturbation was assessed in patients treated with everolimus, an allosteric mTOR inhibitor. Untreated patients served as controls for comparison. Key results from this work include a dose-dependent biologic effect of everolimus, signal of activity in RAS mutant tumors as well as near complete metabolic and pathologic response in a case of sarcomatoid lung cancer. These findings represent novel translational insights that can guide future development of mTOR inhibitors in lung cancer and other tumor types. Additionally, metabolic response and anatomic tumor shrinkage observed in a significant proportion of patients following a short of duration of therapy with everolimus suggests potential clinical utility of this agent in carefully-selected lung cancer patients.

• High Resolution Maps of the HeLa 3D Genome Using Hi-C

  We use in situ Hi-C to probe the three-dimensional architecture of genomes, constructing haploid and diploid maps of nine cell types (including HeLa). The densest, in human lymphoblastoid cells, contains 4.9 billion contacts, achieving 1-kilobase resolution. We find that genomes are partitioned into contact domains (median length, 185kb), which are associated with distinct patterns of histone marks and segregate into six subcompartments. We identify ~10,000 loops. These loops frequently link promoters and enhancers, correlate with gene activation, and show conservation across cell types and species. Loop anchors typically occur at domain boundaries and bind CTCF. CTCF sites at loop anchors occur predominantly (>90%) in a convergent orientation, with the asymmetric motifs 'facing' one another. The inactive X-chromosome splits into two massive domains and contains large loops anchored at CTCF-binding repeats. The data for the other (non-HeLa) cell types has been uploaded to GEO.

• PD-1 antibody-bound progenitor-exhausted CD8+ T cells in lymph nodes boost PD-1-blockade anti-tumor immunity in gastrointestinal cancer

  While progenitor-exhausted T cells (Tpex) expressing TCF1 and PD-1 are crucial for the therapeutic effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs; therapeutic anti-PD-1 antibodies), the dynamics of ICI-bound Tpex are not fully understood. In this study, we investigated ICI-bound T cells in detail using combined sequencing analysis at the single cell level. By analyzing samples from gastrointestinal cancer patients with or without ICI treatment, we found that Tpex were enriched in proximal lymph nodes (LNs) and proliferated at a high rate after ICI treatment. Importantly, ICI high-bound Tpex in LNs shared T-cell receptor clonotypes with intratumoral exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex), suggesting their migration to tumor sites after ICI treatment. These findings indicate that ICIs initially target PD-1+CD8+ Tpex in LNs, prompting their proliferation. Subsequently, these cells migrate to tumors and differentiate into Tex, thereby exerting anti-tumor immunity.

• Deciphering craniopharyngioma subtypes: Single-cell analysis of tumor microenvironment and immune networks

  Craniopharyngiomas, including both adamantinomatous (ACP) and squamous papillary (PCP) types, present significant challenges in treatment due to their proximity to critical pituitary structures. In this study, we conducted a single-cell RNA analysis to examine the tumor microenvironments (TME) of ACP and PCP. Single-cell clustering revealed a wide range of cell types, which were further categorized based on gene expression patterns. For ACP, these categories included developing epithelia, calcification, and immune response, while PCP showed developing epithelia, cell cycle, and immune response as prominent categories. Subclustering analysis unveiled different types of immune cells in both ACP and PCP TMEs, with specific patterns of immune responses. Interestingly, smaller tumors were associated with particular immune cell ratios. Furthermore, we identified specific cell-to-cell interactions within the tumor cells. In conclusion, our study has led to the development of a comprehensive cell atlas, shedding light on the molecular characteristics and intricate interplay of immune cells within the TMEs of ACP and PCP.

• Single Cell Transcriptional Analysis of Human Adenoids Identifies Molecular Features of Airway Microfold Cells

  We aimed to characterize the cellular composition and molecular features of the human adenoid, a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue located in the upper airway, with a focus on epithelial populations involved in immune surveillance. To this end, we performed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) on adenoid tissue obtained from 6 human donors (age 2 – 14; 3 males and 3 females) undergoing routine adenoidectomy. The donor cohort includes clinically annotated samples with no known immunodeficiency or chronic airway disease.Our analysis uncovered distinct epithelial populations, including transcriptionally defined immature and mature microfold (M) cells, and a previously unrecognized interferon-stimulated epithelial population enriched for antiviral response genes, which we term WISP cells (Waldeyer's ring Interferon-Stimulated Population). We validated key transcriptomic findings through multiplex immunofluorescence microscopy in independent donor tissues, confirming the spatial localization of WISP and M cells and their predicted interactions with specific immune subsets.

• CLL Genome

  The Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Genome Project aims to identify genetic alterations involved in the development and progression of the CLL, which are still unknown, with the objective of generating a comprehensive catalogue of genetic alterations in 500 independent tumours. The CLL Genome Project, as a contributing member of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC), has the purposes of creating diagnostic tools, discovering therapeutic targets and developing new strategies that will allow a customized therapy for CLL in order to make it more precise and effective. This study consists of two datasets. EGAD00001000023 described in the Nature paper (2011), Whole-genome sequencing identifies recurrent mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and the dataset EGA00001000044 & & EGAD00001000083 described in the Nature (2011) paper, Exome sequencing identifies recurrent mutations of the splicing factor SF3B1 gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.Additional data generated within the ICGC-CLL genome project can be found in studies EGAS00001000374 and EGAS00001001306

• Adjuvant nivolumab in resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer: exploratory biomarker analyses from CheckMate 577

  Adjuvant nivolumab demonstrated a significant improvement in disease-free survival (DFS; primary endpoint) versus placebo in patients with resected esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer and residual pathologic disease following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in the phase III CheckMate 577 study, leading to global approval and widespread adoption. Exploratory biomarker analyses were performed using whole-exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and immunohistochemistry. Hazard ratios for DFS favored nivolumab versus placebo in patients with higher inflammation and proliferation gene expression signature scores; lower M2 macrophage, endothelial, and stromal GES scores; and higher densities of CD3+/CD8- T cells and natural killer cells. Assessments of pre-CRT and post-CRT tumor tissue found post-CRT increases in programmed death ligand 1 combined positive score in 51% of patients, which appeared to be associated with greater DFS benefit. Through these analyses, we identified patient subpopulations that appear to derive improved DFS benefit from adjuvant nivolumab in this setting.

• Whole genome sequencing data for 10 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and matched non-tumor liver tissues + optical mapping data for 4 HCC and 3 matched non-tumor liver tissues.

  Oncogene activation leads to replication stress and promotes genomic instability. Here we combine optical mapping and whole genome sequencing to explore in-depth the nature of structural variants (SVs) induced by replication stress in cyclin-activated hepatocellular carcinomas (CCN-HCC). In addition to classical tandem duplications, CCN-HCC display frequent intra- and inter-chromosomal templated insertion cycles (TIC) likely resulting from template switching events. Template switching preferentially involves active topologically associated domains that are close in the 3D genome organization. Template sizes depend on the type of cyclin activation and are coordinated within each TIC. Replication stress induces continuous accumulation of SVs during CCN-HCC progression, fostering the acquisition of new driver alterations and large-scale copy-number changes at TIC borders. Together, this analysis sheds light on the mechanisms, dynamics and consequences of SV accumulation in tumors with oncogene-induced replication stress.

• Whole_genome_sequencing_in_a_multiplex_Crohn_s_disease_family

  In 2009 we identified a four-generation family with over 700 members and 41 affected with Crohn's disease (CD). At the time we sequenced the exome of 6 affected individuals but did not identify any coding variants which appear to explain the high prevalence of disease. Since then we have collected DNA from a large number of additional family members, genotyped linkage arrays on the entire family to refine genomic regions shared by identity by descent and genotyped affected and unaffected members at known CD risk loci identified by Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS). These analyses have confirmed that a significant unexplained excess of disease remains after accounting for all known genetic factors, and that several regions of the genome are shared by a large fraction of affected individuals. We therefore perform whole genomes sequencing from 8 individuals which will allow us to impute the complete sequence of nearly all the members of the two largest and most severely affected branches of the family.
