• Metabolic Biomarkers in Thoracic Cancers

  Here we present RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and adjacent lung tissue. These samples were acquired from primarily untreated, surgically resected primary tumors. The first analysis published with this data was to determine the metabolic signatures between primary tumors and adjacent lung tissue.The associated clinical trial (NCT02095808) includes patients with many kinds of thoracic cancers, including NSCLC and other diseases, such as thymoma and esophageal adenocarcinoma. However, the current dbGaP data is focused on the NSCLCs described in the associated paper.

• Whole genome sequence and RNA-seq data from paired tumour and germline samples from mesothelioma patients.

  Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a poor overall survival with few treatment options. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) combined with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the immune features of MPM offers the prospect of identifying changes that could inform future clinical trials. We analysed somatic mutation and RNA-seq data from 229 MPM samples, including 58 MPM samples that had undergone WGS from our own institutions, together with other published data. This combined analysis identified somatic driver genes, including newly identified candidate genes. Whole genome doubling was a frequent event that correlated with shorter survival. Mutational signature analysis revealed dominant signatures and showed that defects in homologous recombination repair were infrequent in our cohort. Within the tumour immune environment we identified high M2 macrophage infiltrate linked with MMP2, MMP14, TGFB1 and CCL2 expression, representing an immunosuppressive environment. A small subset of samples had a higher proportion of CD8 T cells and a high cytolytic score, suggesting a ‘hot’ immune environment which is independent of the somatic mutations. We propose that our findings on genomic changes and subtypes of immune microenvironments may influence therapeutic planning in the future.

• A Phase II Study: CRS207/GVAX Plus Anti-PD1 and Anti-CTLA4 Recruits Mesothelin- and KRAS-Specific T cells into PDAC

  This study examined immunologic correlatives from a phase II study evaluating CRS207/GVAX vaccines in combination with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 in metastatic pancreatic cancer (NCT03190265). Arm A received CRS207/GVAX with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 therapy; Arm B received CRS207 with anti-PD1 and anti-CTLA4 therapy. Patients undergoing treatment in this trial had peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and tumor tissue biopsied serially at pre-treatment and on-treatment timepoints. Single-cell RNA/TCR sequencing was employed on PBMCs. Bulk RNA/TCR sequencing was employed on tumor tissues. We identified treatment-enriched inflammatory pathways as well as T cell repertoires.

• Transcriptome_human_nasal_epithelium

  1. Odors are detected, firstly, by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium of the nose. This neurons then project directly to the olfactory bulb in the brain. Olfaction depends on cellular regeneration of the OE, olfactory bulb and hippocampus, and on their continual re-wiring. The olfactory neural pathway includes regions of the frontal, temporal and limbic brain, which in turn overlap with brain areas involved in brain disorders. OSNs are the only aspect of the human brain exposed to the external environment. This not only makes them vulnerable to environmental changes, but also accessible for biomedical studies.We have already sequenced and developed a protocol for analyzing the transcriptome of mouse main olfactory epithelium and single OSNs. We propose here to perform a similar study for samples from the human olfactory epithelium. We have developed a minimally invasive method for obtaining human OSNs, among other cells from the nasal epithelium. In this experiment, we have obtained cell samples from the olfactory epithelium, including OSN, from healthy volunteers. We would like to further characterize them by RNA sequencing. This will give us valuable insight into human olfaction. It will also provide a first step into a new avenue to study, and find biomarkers for, brain diseases though the analysis of these easily available neurons. This data is part of a pre-publication release.

• Single-nucleus RNA-seq of human fetal liver hematopoiesis

  The fetal liver is the primary haematopoietic organ during early human development, yet the timing and regulatory mechanisms governing blood formation remain incompletely understood. To define the cellular, transcriptional, and epigenetic changes underlying human fetal liver hematopoiesis over development, we generated a high-resolution, time-resolved single-nucleus multiome atlas of human fetal liver spanning 5–18 post-conception weeks (PCW) for CD45+CD235- cells. In total, 308,021 high-quality nuclei from 53 donors were profiled using paired chromatin accessibility and transcriptomic modalities. This study is for the gene expression.

• RNAseq of circulating monocytes of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients before and after treatment, and healthy controls.

  RNAseq of circulating monocytes of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) patients before and after treatment, and healthy controls. Please cite original paper: Monocyte and macrophage lipid accumulation results in downregulated type-I interferon responses. Willemsen et al. Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine (2022) Familial hypercholesterolemic patients (n=10) and healthy subjects (n=9): the study population, design, and further processing of these human study subjects and their samples have been extensively described (Stiekema et al., 2021). Briefly, untreated FH patients who indicated to start lipid-lowering therapy (statin, PCSK9 antibody, and/or ezetimibe) according to their treating physician were included. The healthy controls were age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) matched with the FH patients. After inclusion, FH patients fasted for at least 9 hours before blood samples were drawn for lipid measurements and monocyte isolation. This was repeated after 12 weeks of lipid-lowering therapy. RNA-seq was performed on circulating monocytes. V1 = visit 1. V2 = visit 2.

• Somatic Mutations in Single Human Neurons from Patients with Congenital Neurodegenerative Diseases

  It has been hypothesized that accumulating DNA lesions in neurons contribute to aging and neurodegeneration. Despite their pathophysiological importance, the DNA lesions have not been systematically examined with effective methods. In this study, we developed a computational method for detecting genomic deletions in single-cell whole-genome sequencing (scWGS) data, and analyzed the whole genome of human single neurons. Single neurons were obtained from neurotypical individuals of various ages and from patients with three different congenital neurodegenerative diseases: Ataxia telangiectasia (AT), Cockayne syndrome (CS), and Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Single-neuron WGS data of AT brains are released here, and the data of other two diseases are released in a separate dbGaP study (phs001485).To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying AT, we performed single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) of postmortem cerebellar vermis and prefrontal cortex from individuals with AT and controls. To genetically confirm the diagnosis of AT, we also performed WGS on postmortem brain tissue from each individual with AT. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from individuals with AT and controls were differentiated into microglia, and the transcriptomes were profiled with bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq).

• Massively parallel nanowell-based single-cell gene expression profiling

  Technological advances have enabled transcriptome characterization of cell types at the single-cell level providing new biological insights. New methods that enable simple yet high-throughput single-cell expression profiling are highly desirable. Here we report a novel nanowell-based single-cell RNA sequencing system, ICELL8, which enables processing of thousands of cells per sample. The system employs a 5184-nanowell-containing microchip to capture ~1300 single cells and process them. Each nanowell contains preprinted oligonucleotides encoding poly-d(T), a unique well barcode, and a unique molecular identifier. The ICELL8 system uses imaging software to identify nanowells containing viable single cells and only wells with single cells are processed into sequencing libraries. Here, we report the performance and utility of ICELL8 using samples of increasing complexity from cultured cells to mouse solid tissue samples. Our assessment of the system to discriminate between mixed human and mouse cells showed that ICELL8 has a low cell multiplet rate (< 3%) and low cross-cell contamination. We characterized single-cell transcriptomes of more than a thousand cultured human and mouse cells as well as 468 mouse pancreatic islets cells. We were able to identify distinct cell types in pancreatic islets, including alpha, beta, delta and gamma cells. Overall, ICELL8 provides efficient and cost-effective single-cell expression profiling of thousands of cells, allowing researchers to decipher single-cell transcriptomes within complex biological samples.

• Stand Up To Cancer East Coast Prostate Cancer Research Group

  Most prostate cancer deaths are caused by metastatic, castration resistant disease (mCRPC). To develop a precision medicine framework for mCRPC, we established a multi-institutional, international clinical sequencing infrastructure to enroll and carry out prospective whole exome and transcriptome sequencing of tumors from a cohort of mCRPC patients. We obtained high quality DNA and RNA sequence data from 150 bone or soft tissue biopsies. Central pathology revealed high-grade adenocarcinoma with only four cases (3.6%) showing neuroendocrine differentiation. Aberrations of AR, ETS genes, TP53 and PTEN were frequent (40-60% of cases), with TP53 and AR alterations being the most enriched in mCRPC compared to primary prostate cancer. We identified novel genomic alterations in PIK3CA/B (fusions and mutations); R-spondin, BRAF and RAF1 (fusions); APC (inactivating mutations); delta-catenin (missense mutations); and ZBTB16/PLZF (homozygous deletions). Aberrations of BRCA2, BRCA1 and ATM were observed at substantially higher frequencies (19.3% overall) than seen in primary prostate cancers, with 56% of these being exclusively somatic. Putative driver gene alterations were identified in nearly all patients, and over half also harbored driver gene fusions, homozygous deletions and/or amplifications. Moreover, 89% of patients harbored a clinically actionable aberration including 62.7% with aberrations in AR, 65% in other cancer-related genes, and 8% with actionable pathogenic germline alterations. Overall, integrative clinical sequencing analysis can be safely and efficiently performed in mCRPC, yields findings that may be actionable for enrolling patients in clinical trials of targeted therapies, and may inform the basis of individual clinical responses.

• Single nucleus and in situ RNA sequencing reveals cell topographies in the human pancreas

  Molecular evidence of cellular heterogeneity in the human exocrine pancreas has not been established, due to the local concentration of hydrolytic enzymes that can rapidly degrade cells and RNA upon resection. Here we innovated single-nucleus RNA sequencing protocols, and profiled more than 120,000 cells from adult and neonatal human donors to create the first comprehensive atlas of human pancreas cells, including epithelial and non-epithelial constituents. Adult and neonatal pancreata shared common features, including the presence of previously undetected acinar subtypes, but also showed marked differences in the composition of the endocrine, endothelial, and immune compartments. Spatial cartography, including cell proximity mapping through in situ sequencing, revealed dynamic developmental cell topographies in the endocrine and exocrine pancreas. Our human pancreas cell atlas can be interrogated to understand pancreatic cell biology, and provides a crucial reference set for future comparisons with diseased tissue samples to map the cellular foundations of pancreatic diseases.

• Multiomic spatial landscape of innate immune cells at central nervous system borders

  The innate immune compartment of the human central nervous system (CNS) is highly diverseand includes several immune cell populations such as macrophages that are frequent in the brain parenchyma (microglia) and less numerous at the brain interfaces as CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs).Due to their scantiness and particular location, little is known about the presence of temporally and spatially restricted CAM subclasses during development, health and perturbation. Here, we combined single-cell RNA-sequencing, time-of-flight mass cytometry and single-cell spatial transcriptomics with fate mapping and advanced immunohistochemistry to comprehensively characterize the immune system at human CNS interfaces. We also provide a comprehensive analysis of resident and engrafted myeloid cells in the brains of 15 individuals with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, revealing compartment-specific engraftment rates across different CNS interfaces... Our results highlight myeloid diversity at the interfaces of the human CNS with the periphery and provide insights into the complexities of the human brain’s immune system.

• Hofer et al., A specific subpopulation of cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes resistance to chemotherapy in triple-negative breast cancer by upregulating G0S2 protein

  Chemotherapy is the standard of care for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but the mechanisms of chemoresistance remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the role of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in the chemotherapy response of TNBC, by combining in vivo analyses of TNBC patients with ex vivo cancer modeling, using tumor-on-chip (ToC) technology. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the proportion of a specific CAF population, the extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts (ECM-myCAFs), is reduced after chemotherapy in chemo-sensitive, but not in chemo-resistant TNBC patients. In ToC devices, primary ECM-myCAFs promoted TNBC cell survival under Doxorubicin and Paclitaxel treatment. The mechanism of chemoresistance was elucidated by using single-cell RNA sequencing, advanced cell imaging and functional assays: ECM-myCAFs upregulate the G0/G1 switch 2 (G0S2) protein in TNBC cells, via activation of SRC family kinases. Altogether, our work identifies G0S2 as a new player in CAF mediated chemotherapy resistance in TNBC.

• Measles oncolytic virus as an immunotherapy for recurrent/refractory pediatric medulloblastoma and atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor

  Pediatric recurrent medulloblastoma (MB) and atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) are largely incurable and warrant novel therapies. We investigated a) the safety of a measles virus variant, MV-NIS, in a pediatric phase 1 study and b) the mechanisms of MV-NIS and potential benefit of combination with immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI). Pediatric patients with recurrent MB or ATRT were treated with intratumoral injections for local recurrence or via lumbar puncture for disseminated recurrence. We evaluated local immune responses to MV-NIS with and without ICI via single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing in an intracranial, immunocompetent, syngeneic murine model. MV-NIS given intratumorally or via repeat intrathecal dosing was safe. MV-NIS prolonged survival in murine models but did not demonstrate additive benefit with ICI. No changes in tumor-infiltrating immune-cell composition or activation were observed in response to MV-NIS treatment; however, MV-NIS induced local expression of neutralizing antibodies, complement cascade, and phagocytosis-related genes.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of human omental tissue in benign and metastatic ovarian cancer

  To elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying omental homeostasis and its transformation during ovarian cancer metastasis, a human omental cell atlas was generated encompassing both benign and metastatic conditions. Single-cell RNA sequencing was performed on freshly dissociated omental tissue samples from patients with newly diagnosed benign and malignant disease. Samples collected during diagnostic surgery covered distinct anatomical regions, enabling comparison between non-metastasized omentum and sites along the metastatic gradient, including distant, peritumoral, and tumor core areas.
