• Single-cell RNA-seq of celiac disease-specific plasma cells

  Disease-specific plasma cells (PCs) reactive with transglutaminase 2 (TG2) or deamidated gluten peptides (DGP) are abundant in celiac disease (CeD) gut lesions. Their contribution toward CeD pathogenesis is unclear. We assessed expression of markers associated with PC longevity in 15 untreated and 26 treated CeD patients in addition to 13 non-CeD controls, and performed RNA-sequencing with clonal inference and transcriptomic analysis of 3251 single PCs. We observed antigen-dependent V-gene selection and stereotypic antibodies. Generation of recombinant DGP-specific antibodies revealed a key role of a heavy-chain residue that displays polymorphism, suggesting that immunoglobulin gene polymorphisms may influence CeD-specific antibody responses. We identified transcriptional differences between CeD-specific vs non-disease-specific PCs and between short-lived vs long-lived PCs. The short-lived CD19+CD45+ phenotype dominated in untreated and short-term-treated CeD, in particular among disease-specific PCs but also in the general PC population. Thus, the disease lesion of untreated CeD is characterized by massive accumulation of short-lived PCs that are not only directed against disease-specific antigens.

• 1M-scBloodNL

  Here we present the 1M-scBloodNL study, in which we performed single-cell RNA-seq on 120 individuals of the Northern Netherlands population cohort Lifelines. For each individual peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were sequenced in an unstimulated condition, and after 3 and 24 hour in vitro stimulation with C. albicans (CA), M. tuberculosis (MTB) and P. aeruginosa (PA), totalling approximately 1.3 million cells. scRNA-seq was conducted with the 10X Genomics 3'-end v2 (72 libraries) and v3 (33 libraries) technology. In general, each library contains PBMCs from 8 donors and 2 different stimulation-timepoint combinations. Donors were demultiplexed using a combination of SoupOrCell (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41592-020-0820-1) and genotype information to assign the correct donor to a donor-specific cell cluster.

• Activation of Wnt/β-catenin signalling by mutually exclusive FBXW11 and CTNNB1 hotspot mutations drives salivary gland basal cell adenoma - RNA

  Wnt signalling must be 'just right' to promote tumour growth. Basal cell adenoma (BCA) and basal cell adenocarcinoma (BCAC) of the salivary gland are rare tumours that can be difficult to distinguish from each other and other salivary gland tumour subtypes. Due to their rarity, the genomic profiles of BCA and BCAC have not been explored. Using whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing of BCA and BCAC cohorts, we identify a novel recurrent FBXW11 missense mutation (p.F517S) in BCA, that was mutually exclusive with the previously reported CTNNB1 p.I35T gain-of-functon (GoF) mutation. These driver events collectively accounted for 94% of BCAs. In vitro, mutant FBXW11 had a dominant negative affect, characterised by defective binding to β-catenin and the accumulation of β-catenin in cells. This was consistent with the nuclear expression of β-catenin observed in BCA cases harbouring the FBXW11 p.F517S mutation and activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and defines a novel mechanism of Wnt pathway control. The genomic profiles of BCAC were distinct from BCA, with hotspot DICER1 and HRAS mutations and putative driver mutations affecting PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signalling pathway genes. A single BCAC, which may represent a malignant transformation of BCA, harboured the recurrent FBXW11 mutation. These findings have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of BCA and BCAC, which, despite histopathologic overlap, may be unrelated entities.

• Next generation sequencing of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma samples to identify recurrent mutations, variations, and expression patterns to define novel therapies

  Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an extremely rare (~350 cases/year) and universally fatal childhood brain cancer. Standard clinical strategies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy show only transient improvement in patient condition and result in negligible change in survival, DIPG remains at below 1% survival after 5 years. Prioritization of panobinostat through previous cooperative work resulted in a phase 1 clinical trial. Nonetheless, new therapies for DIPG must be identified to further dramatically change the statistics for DIPG. To identify novel therapy strategies for DIPG, we performed whole exome(16 new samples, 22 previously published samples, 38 in total with 26 matched normal) and RNA deep sequencing (17 new samples, 11 previously published samples) on a cohort of new patient samples. Sequencing results aid in the identification of recurrent mutations/variations and endotypic expression profiling to identify new therapeutic and treatment strategies for DIPG.

• MP2PRT-MNG: Identifying Novel Molecular Markers of Response to Radiotherapy in Meningiomas Using Samples from the RTOG-0539 (NCT00895622)

  The Molecular Profiling to Predict Response to Treatment (MP2PRT) program is part of the NCI's Cancer Moonshot Initiative. The aim of this program is the retrospective characterization and analysis of biospecimens collected from completed NCI-sponsored trials of the National Clinical Trials Network and the NCI Community Oncology Research Program. NRG RTOG (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group)-0539, which was a nonrandomized phase II cooperative group trial in 2009, was selected for inclusion in this program. NRG RTOG-0539 assigned patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of meningioma to 1 of 3 risk groups based on 2007 WHO grade, resection extent, and recurrence status, and radiotherapy was given per protocol to the intermediate- and high-risk cases. Under the MP2PRT program, DNA methylation profiling, RNA sequencing, and whole exome sequencing were performed on clinical trial cases with available tissue for molecular analyte extraction and subsequent sequencing. Raw molecular data with metadata are available for this study.

• Genome sequencing identifies splice-disrupting variants in childhood heart disease

  We used genome sequencing (GS) to identify cardiac specific splice disrupting variants that were subsequently validated in a subset of participants. In turn, we developed a heart-specific model for canonical and non-canonical splice variants, which was applied to patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). These included patients with two of the most common forms of cyanotic CHD i.e. tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and dextro-transposition of the great arteries (TGA). In addition to identifying canonical splice-disrupting variants in known CHD-related genes in 1% cases, this approach identified putatively damaging non-canonical splice-disrupting variants in 11% of isolated CHD, with deeply intronic variants representing 53% of non-canonical splice-disrupting variants in CHD genes. GS was critical for the identification of variants that would not be captured by routine clinical genetic tests including exome sequencing, while cardiac RNA-Seq allowed for high specificity in the interpretation of splice-disrupting effects in the heart.

• Molecular Profiling Reveals Unique Immune and Metabolic Features of Melanoma Brain Metastases

  There is a critical need to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of -melanoma brain metastases (MBM). Thus, we performed RNA sequencing on 88 resected MBMs and 42 patient-matched extracranial metastases; tumors with sufficient tissue also underwent whole-exome sequencing, T-cell receptor sequencing, and IHC. MBMs demonstrated heterogeneity of immune infiltrates that correlated with prior radiation and post-craniotomy survival. Comparison with patient-matched extracranial metastases identified significant immunosuppression and enrichment of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in MBMs. Gene-expression analysis of intracranial and subcutaneous xenografts, and a spontaneous MBM model, confirmed increased OXPHOS gene expression in MBMs, which was also detected by direct metabolite profiling and [U-13C]-glucose tracing in vivo IACS-010759, an OXPHOS inhibitor currently in early-phase clinical trials, improved survival of mice bearing MAPK inhibitor-resistant intracranial melanoma xenografts and inhibited MBM formation in the spontaneous MBM model. The results provide new insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic resistance of MBMs.

• The light chain IgLV3-21 defines a new poor prognostic subgroup in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia: results from a multicenter study

  Purpose: Unmutated (UM) immunoglobulin heavy chain region (IgHV) status or IgHV3-21 gene usage is associated with poor prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Interestingly, IgHV3-21 is often co-expressed with light chain IgLV3-21 which is potentially able to trigger cell-autonomous BCR-mediated signaling. However this light chain has never been characterized independently of the heavy chain IgHV3-21.Experimental Design: we performed total RNA sequencing to characterize IgLV3-21 patients (n=32) and investigated IgLV3-21 prognostic impact in terms of treatment-free (TFS) and overall (OS) survival in 3 other independent cohorts for a total of 813 patients where IgLV3-21 presence was tested by real-time PCR and confirmed by Sanger sequencing.Results: Using total RNA sequencing to characterize 32 patients with high-risk CLL, we found a high frequency (28%) of IgLV3-21 rearrangements. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that these patients present higher expression of genes responsible for ribosome biogenesis and translation initiation (P<0.0001) and MYC target genes (P=0.0003). Patients with IgLV3-21 rearrangements displayed a significantly shorter TFS and OS (P<0.05), in particular in IgHV mutated patients. In each of the 3 independent validation cohorts (n=813), we showed that IgLV3-21 rearrangements -similar to UM IgHV status- conferred poor prognosis compared to mutated IgHV (P<0.0001). Importantly, we confirmed in multivariate analysis that this was independent of IgHV mutational status or subset #2 stereotyped receptor (P<0.0001). Conclusions: We therefore demonstrate for the first time that a light chain can impact on CLL prognosis and that IgLV3-21 light chain usage defines a new poor prognostic subgroup in CLL.

• Characterization of Immune Evasion in Merkel Cell Carcinoma

  Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, neuroendocrine skin carcinoma that is caused by the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) in 80% of cases and by ultraviolet (UV) damage in 20% of cases. MCC should theoretically elicit a strong cytotoxic T cell response due to the high neoantigen and viral antigen burden in MCPyV- and MCPyV+ MCC, respectively. However, MCC often escapes immune recognition and is associated with very poor prognosis at advanced stages. To systemically identify mechanisms of immune evasion in MCC, we established 11 robust MCC lines from either primary tumors or patient-derived xenografts (7 MCPyV+ and 4 MCPyV-). We then characterized these tumors and cell lines by whole exome sequencing (WES), RNA-sequencing, scRNA-sequencing, ATAC-seq, and whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS). We also studied MCC transcriptional subtypes, utilizing bulk and scRNA-sequencing datasets of patient-derived tumors and cell lines to investigate profiles of neuroendocrine gene expression. The genes linked below define either a neuroendocrine or a non-neuroendocrine phenotype presence within MCC tumors.

• Mutation of FOXL2 in granulosa cell tumors of the ovary

  We generated paired-end RNA-Seq data using the Illumina Genome Analyzer II platform for four adult granulosa cell tumours (GCTs) of the ovary (1 primary, 3 recurrent). We screened this data for the presence of GCT specific sequence variants and detected a non-synonymous mutation in the FOXL2 gene that was found to be recurrent in 97% of 89 additional GCTs. To measure genomic stability of the four index cases, we generated Affmetrix SNP 6.0 data and analysed these data for copy number changes. Raw sequence reads as well as Affymetrix CEL files are available to applicants.

• Clonal Evolution and Heterogeneity of Osimertinib Acquired Resistance Mechanisms in EGFR Mutant Lung Cancer

  Current understanding of acquired resistance to osimertinib in EGFR-mutant lung cancer is largely based on the use of targeted sequencing platforms and cell-free DNA. In this study we examined the clonal evolution and heterogeneity of acquired resistance mechanisms to osimertinib through whole exome and RNA-sequencing of prospectively collected pre-and post-osimertinib resistant tumors and metastases at rapid autopsy. We enrolled 34 patients with histologically confirmed EGFR mutant advanced lung adenocarcinoma in a prospective Phase II clinical trial to evaluate osimertinib treatment and the use of local ablative therapy (LAT) for oligoprogressive disease (NCT02759835) in EGFR mutant NSCLC from April 2016 until data cutoff in September 2019. Patients were not selected based on oligometastatic status, rather 32/34 patients had multiple organ involvement, including lung, liver, adrenal, brain and bone. Biopsies or surgeries were performed pre-osimertinib treatment and at first progression on osimertinib. A subset of patients also underwent biopsies at second progression on osimertinib, and following end of life in-patient hospice and rapid autopsy upon death. 63% (n=15/24) of first-line osimertinib and 50% (n=5/10) of second-line osimertinib treated patients had RECIST defined partial response. Overall, 21 patients had RECIST defined first progression on osimertinib. Two patients on this trial discontinued treatment and were lost to follow up. Of the 21 patients who had RECIST defined progression, 14 patients underwent LAT (8 first-line and 6 second-line). Twelve patients had paired pre- and post-osimertinib resistant tumors and three had post-osimertinib resistant tumors available for analysis. Four patients (LAT002, LAT006, LAT014 and LAT021) consented for a rapid autopsy protocol and underwent rapid autopsy after deatH. To elucidate acquired osimertinib resistance mechanisms, we performed whole-exome (WES), targeted sequencing and RNA-seq on 66 tumors and matched germline DNA from tumor tissue obtained from a total of 15 patients.

• Studying Glioblastoma in a Human Organoid Tumor Transplantation Model

  This study comprises two complementary investigations that leverage innovative human model systems and cutting-edge molecular profiling to dissect glioblastoma (GBM) heterogeneity and tumor-microenvironment interactions. The first study uses a novel Human Organoid Tumor Transplantation (HOTT) model, in which freshly dissociated GBM tumor cells from five patients were transplanted into human embryonic stem cell-derived cortical organoids. This system enables the interrogation of tumor and microenvironment interactions in a human-specific, developmentally relevant context. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus RNA-seq (snRNA-seq), the authors profiled over 216,000 cells, analyzing tumor heterogeneity across multiple media conditions. Ligand-receptor analysis (CellChat), immunofluorescence, and RNAScope were used to validate findings. The study revealed that the HOTT model faithfully recapitulates primary GBM cell types and microenvironmental components, and uncovered a novel bidirectional signaling axis mediated by PTPRZ1 that influences both tumor migration and cell fate in a context-dependent manner. PTPRZ1 is identified to be important for intercellular communication between tumor and microenvironmental cells, while PDGFRB, NOTCH3, HOPX, FAM107A, CLDN5, RGS5, FOXC1, SOX18 are key markers of the neurovascular progenitor that we identify to be a multipotent, restricted progenitor in GBM. Related datasets include the inclusion of immune cells in the HOTT system, termed “iHOTT”. The second study focuses on identifying and characterizing a rare but functionally potent neurovascular progenitor (NVP) population within GBM tumors. By generating a meta-atlas from seven publicly available GBM scRNA-seq datasets, the authors identified a unique tumor-derived cell population co-expressing neural progenitor and vascular markers. This population was validated in situ and in vivo through immunostaining and lineage tracing via DNA barcoding in the HOTT system. Functional knockdown of NVPs in a murine GBM model resulted in reduced cycling cells, altered tumor composition, and increased survival. Clonal analysis showed NVPs have dual potency to give rise to both neuronal and vascular-like tumor cells, contributing significantly to tumor cell diversity. Molecular technologies used across the studies include: Single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing DNA barcoding and clonal lineage tracing (CellTag) Population information: Tumor samples were obtained directly from multiple GBM patients (all IDH1 wild-type, adult), including core and peripheral tumor regions. Human cortical organoids derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) served as the microenvironment in the HOTT model. Principal findings include: HOTT recapitulates the heterogeneity and cell type fidelity of GBM, while enabling the study of tumor–microenvironment signaling. PTPRZ1 has opposing roles in tumor and microenvironment, influencing GBM cell migration and fate via non-catalytic mechanisms. A novel GBM neurovascular progenitor population (NVP) was identified, validated, and shown to contribute clonally to distinct tumor cell types. Elimination of NVPs in vivo reduces tumor aggressiveness and improves survival. Data to be available through dbGaP: Raw and processed single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-seq data (HOTT model and NVP studies) CellTag barcode-labeled scRNA-seq clonal lineage data Associated metadata including patient of origin, experimental condition, and sample annotations.

• Inhibition of CDK4/6 Promotes CD8 T Cell Memory

  Inhibitors of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) have been recently deployed for the treatment of advanced breast cancer. Despite their success, the mechanism of action of these drugs is unclear. In mice, treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor improve T cell memory responses and protect mice against tumor rechallenge. We aimed to identify the correlates of this finding in human subjects. In this study, blood was collected from 5 breast cancer patients before and during treatment with the CDK4/6 inhibitors abemaciclib or palbociclib. Blood was also collected from 2 breast cancer patients who did not receive a CDK4/6 inhibitor. Recently activated CD8 T cells (CD45RO+ CD45RA+) were sorted and subjected to single-cell RNA sequencing.

• Single Cell Genomic Analysis of Lymphoma

  Our study aimed to define the extent of heterogeneity between anatomically separated tumor manifestations in follicular lymphoma at single-cell resolution. We subjected single-cell suspensions derived from nodal, synchronously-acquired fine needle aspirations from two distinct tumor sites to high-throughput microfluidics-based single-cell RNA sequencing. By comparing the relative composition of the tumor subpopulations between the two tumor sites, we found that some patients can exhibit site-to-site differences. While the overall composition of the tumor microenvironment did not differ significantly between sites, we did detect a specific correlation between site-to-site tumor heterogeneity and T follicular helper cell abundance. Our study demonstrates the significant limitations of a solitary biopsy in defining the full scope of a patient's disease.

• HuBMAP: A 3-D Tissue Map of the Human Lymphatic System

  The major goal of the 3-D Tissue Map of the Human Lymphatic System is to use microscopic and biomolecular procedures to facilitate co-registration pipelines and common 3D reconstruction algorithms. Tissue collected from human spleen, thymus and lymph node will be spatially resolved at the single cell level both within and across individuals. The approach employed involves sequencing of transcriptomes of dissociated cells and mapping to histological sections using CO-Detection by indEXing (CODEX) and /or Imaging mass spectroscopy, two highly multiplexed methods employing antibody-tagged target epitopes. Additionally, light sheet fluorescent microscopy is used to provide a higher level context for structural localization on a larger volume. The molecular data provided by this project is obtained through single-cell RNA-seq.

• Identification of potential blood biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer���s disease through immune landscape analysis

  Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical precursor of Alzheimer���s disease (AD). Recent genetic studies have reported on associations between AD risk genes and immunity. Here, we obtained samples and data from 317 AD, 432 MCI, and 107 cognitively normal (CN) subjects and investigated immune-cell type composition and immune clonal diversity of T-cell receptor (TRA, TRB, TRG, and TRD) and B-cell receptor (IGH, IGK, and IGL) repertoires through bulk RNA sequencing. Our prognosis prediction model using the potential blood-based biomarkers for early AD diagnosis, which combined two immune repertoires (IGK and TRA), WDR37, and clinical information, successfully classified MCI patients into two groups, low and high, in terms of risk of MCI-to-AD conversion.

• Single-cell profiling of the leukemic and non-leukemic immune cell compartments in CD8+ T-cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia

  We performed a detailed and precise characterisation of the clonally expanded leukemic cells in CD8+ T cell Large Granular Lymphocytic Leukemia (T-LGLL). By combining scRNA+TCRαβ-seq with bulk RNA sequencing data we showed evidence of a strong antigen-driven immune response that shapes the entire immune cell repertoire in T-LGLL. Our study highlights how the whole immune cell repertoire including the hyperexpanded CD8+ T-LGLL cells, the non-leukemic CD8+ cells, CD4+ cells, and monocytes contribute to the CD8+ T-LGLL disease phenotype.
