• Epigenetic characterization of glioblastoma stem cells

  Chromatin accessibility discriminates stem from mature cell populations, enabling the identification of primitive stem-like cells in primary tumors, such as glioblastoma (GBM) where self-renewing cells driving cancer progression and recurrence are prime targets for therapeutic intervention. We show, using single-cell chromatin accessibility, that primary human GBMs harbor a heterogeneous self-renewing population whose diversity is captured in patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs). In-depth characterization of chromatin accessibility in GSCs identifies three GSC states: Reactive, Constructive, and Invasive, each governed by uniquely essential transcription factors and present within GBMs in varying proportions. Orthotopic xenografts reveal that GSC states associate with survival, and identify an invasive GSC signature predictive of low patient survival, in line with the higher invasive properties of Invasive state GSCs compared to Reactive and Constructive GSCs as shown by in vitro and in vivo assays. Our chromatin-driven characterization of GSC states improves prognostic precision and identifies dependencies to guide combination therapies.

• Single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer

  Peritoneal metastasis is associated with disease progression and poor prognosis in gastric cancer. This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to characterize the cellular composition, tumor microenvironment heterogeneity, and potential therapeutic vulnerabilities in peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. Human peritoneal metastatic samples and humanized mouse models engrafted with human gastric cancer cells were analyzed to investigate tumor and immune microenvironment features.

• Circulating Cell-free DNA Whole Genome Sequencing from Head and Neck Cancer Patients

  This dataset contains plasma-derived circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) whole genome sequencing (WGS) data from patients diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. cfDNA was extracted from plasma collected at defined clinical timepoints.

• Raw transcriptomic sequencing data from peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer

  This controlled-access dataset contains raw FASTQ files generated from single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and 10x Genomics Visium spatial transcriptomics. The dataset includes scRNA-seq data from four human lesions of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer (PMGC) and Visium spatial transcriptomics data from one human PMGC lesion. It also includes scRNA-seq data from nine PMGC lesions from humanized mouse models engrafted with human gastric cancer cells under different treatment conditions. These data are provided to support transcriptomic analysis of tumor and immune microenvironment features in PMGC.

• Rituximab-treated lymphoma patients show correlated deficiency in serological and T cell Spike-specific response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: insights from the CORSA Study.

  This study is part of the CORSA trial (NCT04345315), a prospective multicentric research project conducted by the Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori “Dino Amadori” to investigate the immunologic response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) and healthy individuals as controls (HC). The data in this repository refer to two subcohorts: 7 healthy controls and 10 lymphoma patients, randomly selected. Whole blood samples were collected to characterize T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire specificity against SARS-CoV-2 proteins before and after two BNT162b2 vaccination cycles, at baseline (before vaccination), 50 days after the first dose (V1), and 6 months after the first dose (V3). All participants were vaccinated under the Italian national campaign and provided informed consent following the Declaration of Helsinki. We investigated SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses through TCR repertoire profiling and examined correlations between serological and cellular responses in both patient and control groups. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to characterize the CDR3 sequences of TCR β-chains from peripheral blood, we assessed clonal expansion (depth) and diversification (breadth) of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell clonotypes over time, aiming to understand how cancer and its treatment influence vaccine-induced immunity in immunocompromised individuals.

• Whole genome sequences of Japanese colorectal cancer

  We analysed whole-genome sequences from paired tumour and normal samples collected from 60 Japanese colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Tumor tissues were obtained from surgically resected specimens of patients with CRC. Matched non-tumor DNA was primarily extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes; in selected cases, non-neoplastic colonic mucosa collected from regions anatomically distant from the primary tumor was also used as a normal control. Genomic DNA was extracted from primary tumor tissues and matched peripheral blood samples. WGS libraries with an average insert size of 550 bp were prepared from 2 microgram of genomic DNA using the TruSeq DNA PCR-Free Library Preparation Kit (Illumina). Sequencing was performed on the NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina) with 150 bp PE reads. Using this data, we performed analyses of mutational signatures, driver genes, and structural alterations.

• Fecal microbiome subtype affects the clinical and genomic aberrations of colorectal cancer

  Colorectal cancers (CRCs) have been categorized based on histopathological characteristics or genomic abnormalities, such as gene expression. These classifications have gained widespread acceptance and application in clinical practice. It has become evident in recent times that there is a connection between gut bacteria and CRC. However, the extent to which the diversity of CRC and the gut microbiota are linked has not been extensively investigated. We conducted a comprehensive analysis that integrated whole genome and whole transcriptome data of CRC tissues, along with stool-derived whole genome metagenome analysis. Our approach to accurately stratify CRC involved the utilization of explainable AI, which allowed us to classify the disease into four distinct subtypes based on the composition of gut microbiota.

• Cell-free DNA methylation profiling for non-invasive detection and classification of lymphoma

  Compared with traditional tissue biopsies used for lymphoma diagnosis, cell-free DNA methylation profiling offers a minimally invasive approach capable of capturing lymphoma-specific epigenetic alterations. This study investigates genome-wide methylation patterns in plasma using cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq). Differential methylation analysis of discovery samples identified lymphoma-associated hypermethylated regions that were used to develop classification models for lymphoma detection. Validation analyses demonstrated high accuracy and strong associations between cfDNA methylation scores and independent measures of tumor burden and clinical outcome. These findings support cfDNA methylation profiling as a sensitive approach for non-invasive lymphoma diagnosis.
