• Single-Cell RNA-Seq Profiling of Peripheral Immune Responses to Severe Infection in Uganda

  We conducted a prospective observational study (RESERVE-U-2-TOR) of adults admitted to Tororo General Hospital in eastern Uganda with severe, undifferentiated infection (i.e., suspected sepsis). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from freshly collected heparinized whole-blood samples (4 - 5 mL) using a standard density-gradient protocol (STEMCELL Technologies). PBMCs were aliquoted, cryopreserved in CryoStor CS10 (STEMCELL Technologies), stored overnight at -80°C, and transferred to liquid nitrogen for longer-term storage. Upon thawing, viability was assessed using the Nexcelom Cellaca Cell Counter, and cells were diluted to optimal concentrations for loading onto the Chromium Controller (10X Genomics). Each sample targeted the capture of ~10,000 GEMs (gel bead-in-emulsions). Single-cell RNA libraries were prepared using the Chromium Single Cell 3' Reagent Kit v3.1 following the manufacturer's standard protocol. Libraries were quality-assessed using an Agilent TapeStation and quantified using both Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Invitrogen) and qPCR (Applied Biosystems). Sequencing was performed on the NovaSeq X Plus platform (Illumina) using a 28×91 read configuration per 10X guidelines, targeting ~50,000 reads per cell. Data from this study available through dbGaP include raw single-cell RNA-seq data generated from PBMC samples collected from a subset of RESERVE-U-2-TOR participants at study enrollment (N=8).

• Whole transcriptome RNA sequencing as comprehensive diagnostic tool for acute myeloid leukemia.

  BackgroundAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by uncontrolled proliferation of malignant hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow that are arrested in differentiation. In AML pathogenesis, hematopoietic progenitor cells acquire multiple genetic aberrations often occurring in the same set of genes that ultimately lead to malignant transformation. In the WHO classification 2016, six AML classes with different prognosis are identified by chromosomal translocations measured by standard cytogenetics. All balanced translocations produce fusion genes, except for t(3;3)/inv(3;3), which lead to overexpression of MECOM/EVI1 associated with poor prognosis. For accurate risk assessment of cytogenetically normal AML, four genes need to be screened to distinguish AML with mutated NPM1 in the absence of FLT3 mutations and AML with bi-allelic CEBPA mutations, which have a favorable prognosis, and AML with RUNX1 mutations which have a poor prognosis. Recently, a full genomic classification system has been proposed by Papaemmanuil et al. (NEJM 2016). In this system, the same six classes with chromosomal translocations are identified by standard cytogenetics as well as five additional classes characterized by genetic mutations in 14 different genes. AimThe aim of the study was to investigate whether whole transcriptome RNA-sequencing (RNAseq) can be used as single technology for classification of AML. MethodA panel of 100 AML were analyzed and a bio-informatics pipeline called HAMLET (Human AML Expedited Transcriptomics) was developed in which 4 modules are integrated to detect (1) fusion genes, (2) small variants in 13 recurrently mutated genes, (3) internal tandem duplications in FLT3 (FLT3-ITD) and partial tandem duplications in KMT2A (KMT2A-PTD) and (4) overexpression of MECOM/EVI1. All mutations that were called by HAMLET were validated by diagnostic data as available for all 100 AML or targeted PCR followed by Sanger or next generation sequencing on all positive AML and at least an equal number of negative cases. Results & discussionThe data showed that HAMLET accurately identified all genetic aberrations with high sensitivity and specificity. In addition, in 7 AML, fusion transcripts were detected that are not measured by standard cytogenetics including three cases that lack any class-defining lesion according to Papaemmanuil et al. Moreover, overexpression of MECOM/EVI1 was detected in two AML with inv(3) as well as in five cases without inv(3)/t(3;3), and a gene signature was measured to distinguish AML with CEBPA mutations with favorable prognosis. In conclusion, HAMLET provides a comprehensive and flexible pipeline for RNAseq analysis to retrieve all relevant information for current classification of AML as well as additional information that may improve classification in the future.

• Chordoma_Sequencing_Project_RNAseq

  This is a continuation of the Chordoma Sequencing Project. All cancers arise due to somatically acquired abnormalities in DNA sequence. Systematic sequencing of cancer genomes allows acquisition of complete catalogues of all classes of somatic mutation present in cancer. These mutation catalogues will allow identification of the somatically mutated cancer genes that are operative and characterise patterns of somatic mutation that may reflect previous exogenous and endogenous mutagenic exposures. In this application, we aim to perform whole genome sequencing on 10 chordoma matched genome pairs. RNA Sequencing/Methylation and SNP6 and an additional sequencing of three cancer cell lines will be added to this work.

• NIMH Human Middle Temporal Gyrus (MTG) Cell Types

  Elucidating the cellular architecture of the human neocortex is central to understanding our cognitive abilities and susceptibility to disease. In this study, we applied single nucleus RNA sequencing to perform a comprehensive analysis of cell types in the middle temporal gyrus of human cerebral cortex. We identify a highly diverse set of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal types, many of which are relatively sparse. Additionally, we found that excitatory types are less layer-restricted than expected based prior knowledge from cell morphologies and from mouse studies. Comparison to a similar mouse cortex single cell RNA-sequencing dataset revealed a surprisingly well-conserved cellular architecture that enables matching of homologous types and predictions of human cell type properties. Despite this general conservation, we also find extensive differences between homologous cell types in human and mouse, including dramatic alterations in proportions, laminar distributions, gene expression, and morphology. These species-specific features emphasize the importance of directly studying human brain. This study conducted by the Allen Institute for Brain Science was supported by the Allen Institute for Brain Science and by US National Institutes of Health grant U01 MH114812-02 to E.S.L.

• Microbiomic and immunogenic biomarkers of adjuvant chemotherapy efficacy in stage III colorectal cancer

  The standard treatment for stage III colorectal cancer (CRC) is surgery, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (AC). However, the efficacy of AC is limited, and approximately 30% of patients experience recurrence. Therefore, easily assessable molecular biomarkers that can predict response to AC are needed. Here, we aimed to identify predictive biomarkers of response to AC using tumor transcriptomic data. Tumor specimens from 253 patients who underwent surgery for stage III CRC between 1997 and 2019 were analyzed using RNA sequencing. Transcriptional subtyping and analyses of gut microbiome, immune cell fractions, and T-cell receptor (TCR) were performed to identify factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients treated with or without AC. Of 253 patients, 118 (46.6%) received AC. Twenty phyla and 799 species of the microbiomes were identified, among which Fusobacteria were identified in 247 patients (97.6%). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis of patients who received AC showed that intratumoral Fusobacterium and M1 macrophage abundance and diversity of TCR alpha and delta (TRAD) were independently associated with RFS. Fusobacterium and M1 macrophage abundance, and TRAD diversity were associated with the response to AC, suggesting that these factors could serve as biomarkers for personalized treatment in stage III CRC.

• The Landscape of Antisense Gene Expression in Human Cancers

  High throughput RNA Sequencing has revealed that the human genome is widely transcribed. However, the extent of natural antisense transcription, the molecular mechanisms by which natural antisense transcripts (NATs) might affect their cognate sense genes, and the role of NATs in cancer are less well understood. Here, we use strand-specific paired-end RNA sequencing (ssRNASeq) on a cohort of 376 cancer patients covering 9 tissue types to comprehensively characterize the landscape of antisense expression. Our results reveal that greater than 60% of annotated transcripts have measureable antisense expression and the expression of sense and antisense transcript pairs is in general positively correlated. Furthermore, by studying the expression of sense/antisense pairs across tissues we identify lineage-specific, ubiquitous and cancer-specific antisense loci. Our results raise the possibility that NATs participate in the regulation of well-known tumor suppressors and oncogenes. Finally, this study provides a catalogue of cancer related genes with significant antisense transcription (oncoNAT). This resource will allow researchers to investigate the molecular mechanisms of sense/antisense regulation and further advance our understanding of their role in cancer.

• CPTAC: Molecular Dissection of Chemotherapy Response in Triple Negative Breast Cancer

  Sporadic Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) represents 10-15% of breast cancers (BC) worldwide. Non-specific chemotherapy remains the standard of care as there are no targeted agents. In 50% of cases, pathological complete response (pCR) is not achieved, and these individuals experience poor survival. Predictive markers for chemotherapy have proved elusive, and patients can receive up to five different chemotherapy agents to optimize outcomes. Microscaled proteogenomics (PMID: 31988290) is a discovery technique that integrates DNA and RNA sequencing with mass spectrometry based proteomics. This approach was applied to snap-frozen biopsies obtained before TNBC treatment on a clinical trial of carboplatin and docetaxel. Proteogenomic profiling included whole exome sequencing (WES), RNA-seq, and tandem mass tag based proteomics and phosphoproteomics.The study was approved by the IRB at both participating sites: Washington University in St. Louis and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), and followed the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines. The protocol and informed consent documents were approved by Washington University School of Medicine (WUSM) and BCM.

• Deregulation of FOXF1/FENDRR from t(14;16)(q32;q24) defines a subtype of high risk lineage ambiguous leukemia

  Despite great progress in understanding the genomic basis of immature T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-ALL) and acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage (ALAL), there are still cases that lack defining genetic markers, complicating risk stratification and limiting targeted therapeutic options. Here, we describe a subtype of leukemia defined by the t(14;16)(q32;q24) translocation, which places the FOXF1 gene and its antisense long noncoding RNA gene FENDRR under the regulatory control of the BCL11B enhancer, leading to their ectopic transcriptional activation. Analysis of different high-throughput sequencing data, including WGS, RNA-seq, scDNA-seq, scRNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and HiChIP-seq, identified BCL11B-enhancer mediated deregulation of FOXF1/FENDRR as a hallmark of a subtype of high-risk lineage ambiguous leukemia that is potentially amenable to targeted therapeutic intervention.
