• Single-Cell Transcriptomic Characterization of Microscopic Colitis

  Patients with microscopic colitis (MC), chronic diarrhea without histological signs of MC, or unaffected controls were profiled using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq; inDrops and 10X Genomics were used). One profiled patient without clinical symptoms was found to have histological signs of MC (asymptomatic MC). Some of the subjects from dbGaP study phs003418 are controls in this study. T-Cell Receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) was also performed on a subset of patients. Individual transcriptomes were analyzed to characterize the cellular profile associated with MC and search for mediators of disease pathology. Raw reads and processed count matrices will be available through dbGaP.

• Targeting EGFR in NF1 Mutant Melanoma

  Our study focused on melanoma patients with driver mutations in the neurofibromin 1 (NF1) tumor suppressor gene, a subset of melanoma patients that have not benefitted from recent treatment advances. We have leveraged patient-derived short-term cultures (STCs) and multiomics approaches to identify molecular features that could be developed into therapies for NF1 mutant melanoma patients. Our studies revealed that the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is highly expressed and active in NF1 mutant melanoma cells, and that genetic or pharmacological EGFR inhibition impaired tumor cell proliferation, survival, and cell growth in patient-derived NF1 mutant but not NF1 wild-type melanoma models.

• Tracing the molecular route to progression in miRNA biogenesis-defective thyroid lesions

  Alterations in the DICER1 and DGCR8 microprocessor genes confer risk to the development of benign and malignant thyroid lesions. The involvement of 2 miRNA biogenesis genes in benign and malignant thyroid tumors highlights the key role of miRNAs in the thyroid gland. We traced the progression from benignity to malignancy in DICER1- and DGCR8-mutated thyroid lesions by performing a multiomic characterization of these lesions aiming to uncover unique features characterizing either form for potential use as biomarkers. This multiomic characterization included whole exome sequencing (WES) (N=18), miRNA profiling (N=38), spatial transcriptomics (N=2) and/or methylome (N=281).

• scRNAseq analysis of CD8 T cells infiltrating the bladder and tumor of 4 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, before and after BCG treatment.

  We performed scRNAseq analysis of CD8 T cells infiltrating the bladder and tumor of 4 non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients, before and after BCG treatment. In order to identify tumor-specific T cells, we selected CD8 T cells that were enriched in the tumor of the patient. We also selected CD8 T cells appearing in the bladder after BCG treatment, with the hypothesis that BCG treatment stimulates tumor-specific CD8 T cells. Next, we cloned the TCR of these T cells in a Jurkat cell line and tested these TCR for recognition of tumor-specific antigens.

• Whole genome sequencing data of paediatric T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)

  T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive hematologic malignancy accounting for approximately 15–25% of pediatric and adult ALL cases. Despite significant therapeutic improvements over the last decade, the prognosis of T-ALL remains less favorable than that of B-ALL, with 5-year EFS and OS of around 76–82% and 80–88%, respectively, depending on the treatment protocol used. T-ALL patients often suffer from failure of induction therapy or early relapse, which is associated with a dismal prognosis. Approximately 10–15% of T-ALL patients experience relapse, and survival after relapse is poor.

• Volasertib preclinical activity in high-risk hepatoblastoma

  Relapsed and metastatic hepatoblastoma represents an unmet clinical need with limited chemotherapy treatment options. In a chemical screen, we identified volasertib as an agent with in vitro activity, inhibiting hepatoblastoma cell growth while sparing normal hepatocytes. Volasertib targets PLK1 and prevents the progression of mitosis, resulting in eventual cell death. PLK1 is overexpressed in hepatoblastoma biopsies relative to normal liver tissue. As a potential therapeutic strategy, we tested the combination of volasertib and the relapse-related hepatoblastoma chemotherapeutic irinotecan. We found both in vitro and in vivo efficacy of this combination, which may merit further preclinical investigation and exploration for a clinical trial concept.

• Multi-modal spatial characterization of tumor-immune microenvironments in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

  We have leveraged spatial transcriptomics together with proteomic and genomic analysis to investigate the spatial immunology and pathobiology of DLBCL. We define distinct cellular niches that differ in frequency across tumors, related to both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection status and the anatomical site of the tumor, and show that residence within different cellular niches is associated with divergent functional states of T-cells and tumor B-cells due to different patterns of cell-cell communication. This provides a framework for understanding stereotyped patterns of spatial organization in DLBCL and immunological interactions associated with heterogeneity in immune cell infiltration and function across patients.

• Genomic and ecologic characteristics of the airway microbial-mucosal complex

  Lung diseases due to infection and dysbiosis affect hundreds of millions of people world-wide. Microbial communities at the airway mucosal barrier are conserved and highly ordered, reflecting symbiosis and co-evolution with human host factors. We show here the results of the first systematic culture and whole-genome sequencing of the principal airway bacterial species. We match the gene content of bacterial isolates to human transcripts and metabolites expressed late in airway epithelial differentiation, identifying pathways that can sustain host interactions with the microbiota. Our results provide a systematic basis for decrypting interactions between commensals, pathogens, and mucosal immunity in lung diseases of global significance.

• The_GENCODE_exome___sequencing_the_complete_human_exome

  We report the design of an extended set of targets for capturing the complete human exome, based on annotation from the GENCODE consortium. The extended set covers an addition 5,594 genes and 10.3 Mb compared to current sets which mainly target the CCDS database. The additional regions include potential disease genes previously inaccessible to exome resequencing studies, such as 43 genes linked to ion channel activity and 70 genes linked to protein kinase activity. In total, the new GENCODE exome set developed covers 47.9Mb and performed well in sequence capture experiments with HapMap and clinical samples. Samples within this study are prepared with either the CCDS or GENCODE exome products.

• Isala Citizen Science Project: Cross-sectional branch

  The Isala Citizen Science Project, is named after the first female doctor in Belgium, Isala Van Diest (1842-1916). In a co-creative way, volunteers provided samples and data, proposed research objectives and survey questions, and helped to disseminate and interpret the objectives and results through different media platforms, jointly breaking taboos on women’s and vaginal health. In Flow 1, we collected a single sample from a cross-section of the population, characterized the microbiome, and associated it with data collected in questionnaires. Here, we provide extensive sample meta-data for over 3000 women who completed questionnaires on their lifestyle, diet, health, contraceptive use and environment.

• Diet driven microbial ecology underpins associations between cancer immunotherapy outcomes and the gut microbiome

  This study profiled baseline gut (fecal) microbiota signatures and dietary patterns of 103 trial patients from Australia and the Netherlands treated with neoadjuvant ICIs for high risk resectable metastatic melanoma and performed an integrated analysis with data from 115 patients with melanoma treated with ICIs in the United States. We observed geographically distinct microbial signatures of response and immune-related adverse events. Overall, response rates were higher in Ruminococcaceae-dominated microbiomes than in Bacteroidaceae-dominated microbiomes. Poor response was associated with lower fiber and omega 3 fatty acid consumption and elevated levels of C-reactive protein in the peripheral circulation at baseline.

• Linked-read based analysis of Medulloblastomas

  Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common type of malignant pediatric brain tumor with group 4 medulloblastomas (G4 MBs) accounting for 40% of cases of medulloblastomas. The molecular mechanisms that underlie this subgroup are still poorly understood. Point mutations are detected in a large number of genes at low incidence per gene while the detection of complex structural variants (SVs) in recurrently affected gene typically requires the application of long-read technologies. Here, we applied linked-read sequencing, which combines the long-range genome information of long-read sequencing with the high base pair accuracy of short read sequencing and very low sample input requirements.

• Molecular Characterization of ETMRs

  ETMRs are poorly characterized embryonal brain tumors with a dismal outcome. We collected tumors from 184 ETMR patients and 23 matched recurrences to investigate the genomic landscape of this distinct entity. Tumors without C19MC amplification, the proposed driver, harbor other miRNA related aberrations like DICER1 mutations and amplifications of the MIR17-92 miRNA cluster. All tumors behave molecularly similar and no subgrouping was observed. Whole-genome sequencing revealed an overall low recurrence of SNVs, but highly prevalent R-loop associated genomic instability. Finally, we show that targeting R-loops with TOP1 and PARP inhibitors might be an effective treatment strategy for this deadly disease.

• Use_of_Deep_Sequencing_to_Dectect_Clonal_Mutations_In_Sun_Exposed_Skin_Epidermis

  This study aims to define the landscape of somatic mutations in sun exposed human skin by deep sequencing, analyse their frequency and use the data to infer the effect of mutations on proliferating cell behaviour. The frequency of each mutation will reflect the size of the clone of cells in the tissue sample. By analyzing small samples, clones with as few as 100 cells will be detectable. Allele frequency distributions for each mutation will be used to infer cell fate using published methods (Klein et al. 2010). This study will shed unprecedented light on the early clonal events that lead to the emergence of cancer.

• Small intestinal plasma cells transcriptome profiles

  Objective: Plasma cells (PCs) are terminally differentiated B-lymphocytes that produce antibodies. The lamina propria of the small intestine is particularly rich in PCs. In coeliac disease (CeD) there is infiltration and increased density of PCs in the small intestinal lesion. Many of these PCs produce disease-specific autoantibodies targeting the enzyme transglutaminase 2 (TG2). The plasmacytosis and high numbers of disease-antigen reactive PCs in CeD motivated us to study the transcriptional programme of PCs from coeliac gut lesions. Design: We performed RNASeq analysis of IgA+ PCs of untreated CeD patients being specific or non-specific for TG2 and from healthy controls.

• Spatial and temporal genomic evolution in glioblastoma

  Tumor heterogeneity is a challenging barrier to successful targeted therapy in glioblastoma. Identifying the mechanisms that drive cancer cells as they genetically evolve and adapt in response to treatment is a vital goal of modern cancer research. Analysis of sequencing data provides a method for uncovering the mechanisms sustaining tumor heterogeneity and driving evolution. Here, we analyzed genomic profiles of GBM biopsies taken from pre- and post-treatment GBMs (with matched germline controls), to understand 1) the intratumoral clonal compositions of primary GBM and 2) how GBM responds to therapeutic intervention. Our results provide a molecular portrait of GBM recurrence.

• Extracellular vesicles from TGF-β-activated cancer-associated fibroblasts remodel the tumor microenvironment through EV surface-associated proteins.

  In this study, we explored the function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from non-activated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and TGF-β-activated CAFs. We tested these two types of EVs on other cell types in the tumor environment, including cancer cells, CD8+ T cells, and CAFs. We further explored the protein cargo in EVs altered by TGF-β treatment using quantitative proteomics, and selected several highly upregulated proteins for further analysis. We found that the majority of these proteins were presented on the EV surface, and they regulated the target cells in an EV-cell contact dependent manner.

• Meisal temporal lobe epilepsy sequencing study

  Our understanding of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is one of the most common forms of drug-resistant epilepsy in humans. Using RNA- and small RNA-sequencing in parallel, we explored differentially expressed genes in the hippocampus and cortex of MTLE patients who had undergone surgical resection and non-epileptic controls. We found significant enrichment for astrocytic and microglial genes amongst up-regulated genes and down-regulation of neuron-specific genes in the hippocampus of MTLE patients. The transcriptome profile of the small RNAs reflected disease state more robustly than mRNAs, even across brain regions which show very little pathology.

• Inter and intra - tumor heterogeneity in Colorectal Cancer

  We used high depth massive parallel sequencing analyses to study 27 CRC (colorectal cancer) patients, with a total of 97 tumors (both primary and matched metastases) in addition to healthy control samples. We found inter-tumor concordance for coding mutations; in contrast, gene copy numbers were found to be highly discordant between primary tumors and metastases as validated by fluorescent in-situ hybridization. in a further step, we dissected a single tumor into 68 spatially defined samples and sequenced them separately. Here we identify evenly distributed coding mutations in APC and TP53 in all tumor areas, yet highly variable gene copy numbers in numerous genes.
