• Neurogenetics_Essen

  Neurogenetic disorders are a clinically heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by an alteration or dysfunction of the central nervous system, resulting from a change encoded in the genome of affected individuals. Most of these conditions are individually rare but collectively frequent (>1-5% of the population), manifesting during development (neurodevelopmental disorders) or during later life (neurological disorders). Currently, genetic alterations in approximately 2,500 genes have been linked to human disorders affecting the brain and collectively explain approximately 50% of patients with neurological disorders with a supposed genetic etiology. We aim to identify new genes and uncover novel mechanisms underlying neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders, with a current focus on noncoding regions and complex (repeated) regions. We use a range of complementary approaches that make use of advanced technologies and bioinformatics tools. We combine short-read genome sequencing and long-read technologies, including nanopore sequencing and optical genome mapping, with multi-omics approaches (RNA sequencing, proteomics…) to detect pathogenic variants missed by routine diagnostics and to discover new genetic diseases.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of peripheral blood HSPC from patients with sickle cell anemia and healthy donors

  Neutrophils and monocytes are critical contributors to the pathophysiology of sickle cell anemia (SCA) and are persistently elevated in patients' circulation. While chronic hemolysis has been implicated in this leukocytosis, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Our data show a myeloid-skewed transcriptional signature in early progenitor populations, including multipotent progenitors (MPPs) and hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). Notably, we identify upregulation of the type I interferon signaling pathway in HSPCs as a key driver of early myeloid programming in SCA.

• Single cell RNA sequencing of mononuclear cells from synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis

  Mononuclear cells were collected from synovial fluid of anti-citrullinated positive antibodies (ACPA)-positive rheumatoid arthritis patients (n=8) and ACPA-negative RA patients (n=8). Global cell types (i.e., no enrichment) were obtained from these cryopreserved synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) samples and immediately fixed and processed using the GEM-X Flex Gene Expression Reagent Kits (10x Genomics) according to protocol. Following Gel Bead-in Emulsion (GEM) generation, samples were processed using the standard manufacturer’s protocol. Once sequencing libraries passed standard quality control metrics, libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq2000 P4 100 cycle reagent kit with the following read structure: R1: 28, R2: 90, I1: 10, I2: 10. Libraries were sequenced to obtain a read depth greater than 10,000 reads/cell for gene-expression (GEX). FASTQ files are made available. More detailed information can be obtained in Argyriou A. et al, Annals of the Rheumatic Disease, 2025.

• Access to "A Spatially Resolved Single-Cell Atlas of the Human Fetal Olfactory System"

  The human nasal region arises from neural crest and placodal lineages, yet its early development remains poorly understood owing to limited fetal tissue access and structural complexity. Here we present an integrated single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomic atlas of the human fetal nasal region, generated from 10 fetuses (males and females) between 7 and 12 post-conceptional weeks. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing resolved 32 distinct cell types, while integration with multiplexed error-robust fluorescence in situ hybridization (MERFISH) enabled spatial and temporal mapping of gene expression dynamics across the olfactory epithelium (OE) and adjacent tissues. We identify novel markers of olfactory sensory neuron differentiation and pathways governing epithelial patterning and OE morphogenesis. Notably, spatially organized expression of 169 olfactory receptor genes reveals molecular evidence for the “one neuron-one receptor” principle during the first trimester. Together, this work establishes the first molecular and spatial framework of early human olfactory development and provides a foundational resource for studies of sensory neurogenesis and congenital disorders.

• Single-cell and bulk RNA-sequencing of nivolumab-treated glioblastoma

  Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive type of brain tumour for which there is no curative treatment available. Immunotherapies have shown limited responses in unselected glioblastoma patients, and it is currently not well understood what separates the few responders from the non-responders at the cellular and molecular level. Here we investigate the phenotypic and transcriptional evolutionary dynamics at single-cell resolution during nivolumab immune checkpoint treatment of eight glioblastoma patients enrolled in a translational phase I/II clinical trial.

• Blood neutrophils in COPD derive from activated progenitors in the bone marrow

  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major respiratory disease characterized by small airway inflammation, emphysema and severe breathing difficulties. Low-grade systemic inflammation is an established hallmark of severe disease, however, the molecular changes in peripheral immune cells remain far from understood. We combined multi-color flow cytometry with single-cell RNA sequencing and showed that blood neutrophil numbers are significantly increased in COPD and they are a heterogeneous population. A transcriptomic state that expressed interferon response genes correlated with alveolar damage and acute exacerbations. Furthermore, bronchoalveolar neutrophils expressed gene signatures corresponding to certain blood neutrophil states. Last, our data in a murine model of cigarette smoke exposure demonstrated that bone marrow neutrophil progenitors are expanded in smoke-treated animals and display signs of immune activation. Our study provides evidence that COPD systemic inflammation may derive from an activated haematopoietic precursor compartment.
