• Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI): Pediatric In Vivo Testing Program –Sarcoma, Kidney, and Liver Cancers

  The goal was to complete whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) on patient derived xenograft samples. Cancer in children is rare with approximately 15,700 new cases diagnosed annually in children 21 years or younger in the U.S. Through use of multimodality therapy (surgery, radiation therapy, and aggressive chemotherapy), 70% of patients will be 'cured' of their disease, and 5-year Event-Free Survival (EFS) exceeds 80%. Consequently, the number of patients that can be enrolled in phase I/II clinical trials is small, and most patients will have been extensively treated, hence drug/radiation resistant. Thus, preclinical studies that accurately translate into effective clinical therapy are an essential component of pediatric drug development. Our group has contributed to studies in the Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP) and Pediatric Preclinical Testing Consortium (PPTC) that have led to clinical studies through Children's Oncology Group (COG). Of importance, we have developed and characterized over 330 Patient Derived Xenografts (PDX), developed from tumors both at diagnosis and relapse, that can be used to facilitate pediatric drug development as directed by FDA under the Research to Accelerate Cures and Equity for Children Act (RACE for Children Act).

• cfDNA in Hereditary And High-Risk Malignancies (CHARM)

  Our goal is to improve early cancer detection by developing a blood test to predict cancer development in carriers using circulating DNA. As carriers develop cancer, they may have pre-cancerous cells which release this DNA into the blood (cell-free DNA; cfDNA), which can be detected with novel genetic technologies. We propose to use three complementary cfDNA assays:shallow whole genome sequencing (sWGS), Liquid-Biopsy Sequencing (LB-Seq) and Cell-free Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation and High-throughput Sequencing (cfMeDip-Seq) for early cancer detection.

• Epigenome of sorted human muscle stem cell

  This dataset contain RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, WGBS and ATAC-seq of 1 human muscle stem cell sample. NCAM+ITGB1+ CD31−CD45−CD34− were used as the sorting strategy for the sample. H3K27ac, H3K27me3, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K36me3 and H3K9me3 are the targets of ChIP-seq.

• Exploration of coding and non-coding variants in cancer using GenomePaint.

  GenomePaint (https://proteinpaint.stjude.org/genomepaint) is a dynamic visualization platform for whole-genome, whole-exome, transcriptome, and epigenomic data, featuring a novel design that captures the inter-relatedness between DNA variations and RNA expression. Regulatory non-coding variants can be inspected and discovered along with coding variants, and their functional impact further explored by examining 3D genome and/or ChIP-seq data generated from cancer cell lines. Further, GenomePaint correlates mutation and expression patterns with patient outcomes, and can display external data such as adult cancer datasets and user-provided custom tracks. We used GenomePaint to analyze multi-omics data from 3,652 pediatric cancers representing 16 histotypes, and demonstrate the visualization features through examples, including two that led to new insights into oncogenic mechanisms in pediatric cancer. The first is the discovery of a new class of pathogenic recurrent variants that cause aberrant splicing, disrupting the RING domain of CREBBP, a driver gene frequently mutated in relapsed pediatric leukemia. The second is the cis-activation of the MYC oncogene in a subset of B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) via duplication of the NOTCH1-MYC enhancer (N-ME), previously discovered only in T-lineage ALL. The regulatory impact of N-ME enhancer amplification was initially confirmed by allelic imbalance in published gene expression and ChIP-seq data and verified by additional Capture-C and fluorescence in situ hybridization data generated by follow-up experiments. These examples demonstrate the power of GenomePaint in enabling not only data visualization but also integrative genomic analysis that can lead to novel biological insight for follow-up experimental validation.

• An atlas of transcribed enhancers across helper T cell diversity for decoding human diseases

  At 5' ends of RNAs, there is a unique "cap signature" derived from a 7-methylguanosine cap. By leveraging this signature, we developed ReapTEC (read-level pre-filtering and transcribed enhancer call), a method for simultaneously profiling gene expression and enhancer activities using 5'-end single-cell RNA sequencing (5' scRNA-seq). We applied ReapTEC and single-nucleus ATAC-seq to a total of ~1 million single human CD4+ T cells.

• RNA-seq of tumor samples from clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients included in the Translational Program of the NIVOREN GETUG-AFU-26 trial

  Study on RNA-seq data from tumor tissue samples of primary tumors of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients enrolled in the NIVOREN GETUG-AFU-26 trial who consented to and participated in the translational program. The goal of this study was to assess previously published gene expression signatures and evaluate their association with the benefit and/or resistance to nivolumab, as well as their association with circulating soluble factors.

• Celiac disease-specific intestinal T cells analyzed with HLA-class II tetramers, RNA-seq and mass cytometry have a narrow, autoimmune-associated phenotype

  Celiac disease (CD) is an HLA-DQ2/8-associated autoimmune enteropathy driven by activation of gluten-specific CD4+ T lymphocytes upon gluten consumption. Much less is known about the phenotype and function of these cells or their correlation, if any, to disease-relevant cells in other autoimmune disorders. Here we use mass cytometry and RNA seq to show that gluten-specific blood and gut T cells occupy a small and phenotypically distinct T-cell subset.

• Blood RNA-seq from Mexican DMD patients and healthy controls

  These data are part of a study that aimed to assess the potential of blood RNA-seq to track non-invasively disease progression for DMD. In particular, here we focus on a study designed to compare gene expression in blood from DMD patients to that of healthy controls. These data are analysed in the following manuscript: Signorelli, M., Ebrahimpoor, M. et al. (accepted). Peripheral blood transcriptome profiling enables monitoring disease progression in dystrophic mice and patients. To appear in EMBO Molecular Medicine.

• Whole genome sequence and RNA-seq data from paired tumour and germline samples from mesothelioma patients.

  Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has a poor overall survival with few treatment options. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) combined with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of the immune features of MPM offers the prospect of identifying changes that could inform future clinical trials. We analysed somatic mutation and RNA-seq data from 229 MPM samples, including 58 MPM samples that had undergone WGS from our own institutions, together with other published data. This combined analysis identified somatic driver genes, including newly identified candidate genes. Whole genome doubling was a frequent event that correlated with shorter survival. Mutational signature analysis revealed dominant signatures and showed that defects in homologous recombination repair were infrequent in our cohort. Within the tumour immune environment we identified high M2 macrophage infiltrate linked with MMP2, MMP14, TGFB1 and CCL2 expression, representing an immunosuppressive environment. A small subset of samples had a higher proportion of CD8 T cells and a high cytolytic score, suggesting a ‘hot’ immune environment which is independent of the somatic mutations. We propose that our findings on genomic changes and subtypes of immune microenvironments may influence therapeutic planning in the future.
