• One-step generation of tumor models by base editor multiplexing in adult stem cell-derived organoids

  Recent optimization of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering has resulted in the development of base editors that can efficiently mediate C>T and A>G transitions. Combining these genome engineering tools with human adult stem cell (ASC)-derived organoid technology holds promise for disease modeling. Here, we demonstrate the application of base editors for the generation of complex tumor models in human ASC-derived hepatocyte, endometrial and intestinal organoids. First, using conventional and evolved Cas9-variants, we show efficacy of both cytosine and adenine base editors and use them to model four hot-spot point mutations in CTNNB1 in hepatocyte organoids. Next, we apply C>T base editors in endometrial organoids to insert nonsense mutations in PTEN and demonstrate tumorigenicity even in the heterozygous state. Furthermore, we use cytosine base editors for simultaneous oncogene activation (PIK3CA) and tumor-suppressor inactivation (APC and TP53). To increase the flexibility of base editor multiplexing, we then combine SpCas9 and SaCas9 base editors for simultaneous C>T and A>G editing at individual target sites. Finally, we show the power of base editor multiplexing by modeling colorectal tumorigenesis in a single step by simultaneously transfecting sgRNA’s targeting four cancer genes. Seven clonal organoid lines and one bulk wild-type control sample were paired-end whole-genome sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 system. We sequenced four clonal intestinal organoid lines harbouring engineered TP53 and FBXW7 mutations as well as three lines targeted for oncogenic APC/TP53/PIK3CA/SMAD4 mutations. This WGS showed, as previously reported, a genome-wide increase in C>T mutations due to C>T base editor off-target activity, which is not enriched in predicted off-target regions based on the sgRNA sequences. Furthermore, we confirmed the absence of editing-induced driver mutations and lack of off-target mutational hotspots created by the genomic engineering.

• Separation of chronic myeloid leukemia stem cells from normal hematopoietic stem cells at single-cell resolution

  Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal disease, initiated and sustained by a subpopulation of CML stem cells (CML-SC) containing the BCR::ABL1 oncogene. Genetic markers that enrich for CML-SC have been identified, including CD26 being most specific. Genome sequencing analysis remain yet to be performed at single cell level in order to determine differences and heterogeneity in the genetic profile of CML-SC versus normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Here we show that CD26 and CD33 separate CML-SC from normal HSC in freshly isolated bone marrow samples from newly diagnosed CML patients. DNA sequencing confirms that single CML-SC derived colonies are positive for BCR::ABL1 and harbor a recurrent set of patient-specific clonal somatic mutations across different CML-SC derived colonies. In contrast, marker-negative (CD26-CD33-) HSC from the same patients are negative for the BCR::ABL1 oncogene and do not carry recurrent, clonal mutation across different colonies. These results support the concept that CD26/CD33 expression separates genetically defined, clonal mutant CML-SC from normal HSC that carry individual sets of random mutations in CML patients. We provide whole exome DNA sequencing data for 23 clinical samples of CML-SC plus two buccal swipes derived normal samples. CML samples are comprised of 4 to 8 replicates from two patients, at diagnosis and after treatment. Single CML stem cells before treatment and single non-transformed HSC at remission were selected from bone marrow samples by FACS, according to genetic markers CD33+CD26+ at diagnosis and CD33+CD26-/CD33-CD26- at remission. WES libraries of colony forming assays derived CML-SC and HSC populations were prepared using Agilent SureSelect Human All Exon V6 kit and sequenced running 150 cycles (2x 75bp paired-end) on an Illumina NextSeq 500 platform. Following GATK best practices for somatic mutation calling, novel CML variants and random mutation events during remission phase were obtained.

• AC-ICAM: An Atlas and Compass of Immune-CAncer-Microbiome Interactions in Colon Cancer

  Fresh frozen tumor samples and matched normal colon specimens from chemotherapy naïve, consecutive patients with a histological diagnosis of colon adenocarcinoma at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) were subjected to multi-omics profiling at Sidra Integrated Genomics Services, part of Sidra Medicine, Doha, Qatar. This resulted in a high-quality dataset of samples collected between 2001 and 2015. Multi-step QC was performed, including assessment of the quality of the nucleic acid extraction, sequencing, and genetic concordance between DNA/RNA sequences from the same patient. After QC, this resulted in RNA sequencing on 348 tumor samples, whole exome sequencing (WES) on 281 tumor-normal sample pairs (n=562 samples), TCR sequencing of the TCR β locus (TRB) for 114 tumor and 10 matched normal samples, and 16S rDNA sequencing on 246 tumor-normal sample pairs (n=492 samples) and 42 tumor only samples, and 167 WGS non human-aligned reads of the tumor samples. Extensive clinicopathological and survival data of the cohort are available. The median follow-up time for this cohort is 4.6 years, and the distribution of gender and pathological stage are within expected ranges for this patient population with a mean age of 68.

• UK10K NEURO IMGSAC

  In the UK10K project we propose a series of complementary genetic approaches to find new low frequency/rare variants contributing to disease phenotypes. These will be based on obtaining the genome wide sequence of 4000 samples from the TwinsUK and ALSPAC cohorts (at 6x sequence coverage), and the exome sequence (protein coding regions and related conserved sequence) of 6000 samples selected for extreme phenotypes. Our studies will focus primarily on cardiovascular-related quantitative traits, obesity and related metabolic traits, neurodevelopmental disorders and a limited number of extreme clinical phenotypes that will provide proof-of-concept for future familial trait sequencing. We will analyse directly quantitative traits in the cohorts and the selected traits in the extreme samples, and also use imputation down to 0.1% allele frequency to extend the analyses to further sample sets with genome wide genotype data. In each case we will investigate indels and larger structural variants as well as SNPs, and use statistical methods that combine rare variants in a locus or pathway as well as single-variant approaches.The IMGSAC cohort is an international collection of families containing children ascertained for ASDs (autism spectrum disorders). The affected individuals are have been phenotyped, including using the ADI-R and ADOS instruments. Individuals with a past or current medical disorder of probable etiological significance or TSC have been excluded. Where possible, karyotyping has been performed on one affected individual per family to exclude Fragile X syndrome. Many of the samples have been genotyped, using the Affymetrix 10k and Illumina 1M platforms. All samples to be included in the current study are of UK origin.For further information on this cohort please contact Jeremy Parr (jeremy.parr@newcastle.ac.uk).

• Post_Mortem_Tissue_COVID19_RNA

  Single cell analysis of post mortem tissue samples from SARS-CoV2-infected patients We aim to directly identify the human cell types infected by SARS-CoV-2 and measure the cellular response to COVID19 infection across 20 different tissues from infected patient autopsies. We have examined the expression pattern of viral entry receptors across healthy human tissues to predict several candidate target cell types across the airway and heart. In addition, high prevalence of cardiac failure and abnormal renal function in COVID19 patients implicates heart and kidney involvement, but the pathogenesis of organ specific damage - whether via a direct cytopathic mechanism or an indirect inflammatory response - remains unknown . Currently, we lack confirmation of target cell types and cellular processes in infected tissues as autopsies are discouraged in most countries due to health and safety risks. Our collaborators Drs Michael Osborn and Brian Hanley (Imperial College) have outlined guidelines to perform post-mortem in COVID19 patients (Hanley et al., 2020) and have established a programme of autopsies for research to be performed in a high-risk facility at Westminster Public Mortuary. Here, we propose to identify infected cell types and aberrant molecular pathologies in this precious tissue resource using single cell and spatial genomics. We will prioritise three organ systems: the human airway, heart and the kidney. We will directly examine the cellular identities of SARS-CoV-2 infected cell types and identify the cellular responses to infection across these organs. This fundamental knowledge will help guide future treatment choices for COVID19. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• DSRCT RNA genomic sequencing

  Purpose: To further understand the molecular pathogenesis of desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), a rare but often fatal malignancy occurring primarily in young males, we used next-generation RNA sequencing to investigate the gene expression profiles intrinsic to this disease.Experimental Design: RNA from DSRCT tumor samples were obtained from the Cooperative Human Tissue Network biorepository. RNA sequencing was completed using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 system. Presence of the EWSR1-WT1 fusion was verified using both RNA-sequencing and PCR. Validation studies, including WT1 ChIP-seq, RNA sequencing, and EWS-WT1 knockdown experiments, were performed on an established DSRCT cell line, JN-DSRCT-1. Protein expression of clinically relevant genes determined by RNA sequencing was confirmed using immunohistochemistry. A panel of immune signature genes was also evaluated to identify possible immune therapeutic targets. Results: We analyzed the RNA from 14 tumor samples, of which two were confirmed negative for the diagnostic EWSR1-WT1 translocation. Principal component analysis of the sequencing data indicated that fusion-negative and fusion-positive tumors are transcriptionally distinct entities. Overlapping the significant ChIP-seq peaks with genes found to be highly expressed in the RNA sequencing data revealed that IGF2 and FGFR4 were both highly expressed, and targets of the EWS-WT1 fusion gene. This finding has potential clinical relevance for targeted therapeutic intervention. In addition, we identified the immune checkpoints CD200 and CD276 as potentially targetable genes whose expression is independent of the EWS-WT1 fusion gene in vitro.Conclusions: Despite the transcriptional complexity of this disease, we were able to identify IGF2, FGFR4, CD200, and CD276 as potential therapeutic targets for patients suffering from DSRCT.

• cfDNA dataset from the urine supernatant of ovarian cancer patients and healthy controls

  Background Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological malignancy worldwide, due to frequent diagnosis at advanced stage. Simple and non-invasive methods for earlier and accurate detection are urgently needed. Here, the presence of tumor-derived DNA in home-collected urine, cervicovaginal self-samples and clinician-taken cervical scrapes of ovarian cancer patients was explored by DNA methylation and copy number analysis. Methods A total of 428 samples (urine, cervicovaginal self-samples, and clinician-taken cervical scrapes) of 110 healthy controls and 54 patients with benign (n=25) or malignant (n=29) ovarian masses were analyzed. Different urine fractions were examined (full void urine, urine supernatant, and urine sediment). All samples were tested for 12 methylation markers by quantitative methylation-specific PCR. Shallow whole-genome sequencing was performed to detect copy number aberrations and verify the presence of tumor-derived DNA. Results Full void urine was most discriminatory between healthy controls and ovarian cancer patients (C2CD4D, p=0.008; CDO1, p=0.022; MAL, p=0.008), followed by cervical scrapes (C2CD4D, p=0.001; CDO1, p=0.004). A significant difference between benign and malignant ovarian masses was only observed for GHSR in the urine sediment (p=0.024). Methylation levels in cervicovaginal self-samples did not discriminate between healthy controls, benign and malignant ovarian masses. Copy number changes were identified in 17% of urine supernatant samples and smaller fragment sizes were seen in urine supernatant samples with a high tumor fraction. Conclusions This study demonstrates the presence of ovarian cancer-derived DNA in home-collected urine. Additional studies are warranted to further explore the clinical applicability of this approach.

• DO NOT USE - Whole genome sequencing of SI-NETs from six patients

  Small intestine neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET), the most common cancer of the small bowel, often displays a curious multifocal phenotype with several intestinal tumors centered around a regional lymph node metastasis, yet the typical path of evolution of these lesions remains unclear. Here, we determined the complete genome sequences of 24 tumor and 3 adjacent normal tissue samples with their paired normal blood samples (totally 33 whole genomes) from 6 patients with multifocal SI-NETs, allowing elucidation of phylogenetic relationships between multiple intestinal tumors and metastases in individual patients.

• Nurminen et al ("GP2Men") Study Primary and Metastatic Prostate Cancer Whole Genome Sequence Data

  We used novel processing techniques to obtain whole genome data together with 3D anatomic and histomorphologic analysis in two men (GP5 and GP12) with high risk PrCa undergoing radical prostatectomy. A total of 22 whole genome-sequenced sites (16 primary cancer foci and 6 lymph node metastatic) were analyzed using evolutionary reconstruction tools and spatio-evolutionary models. Probability models were used to trace spatial and chronological origins of the primary tumor and metastases, chart their genetic drivers, and distinguish metastatic and non-metastatic subclones.
