• Multimodal Mapping of the Immune Landscape in Human Pancreatic Cancer

  Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is characterized by an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment that has rendered it largely refractory to immunotherapy. We used single-cell RNA sequencing on patient tumors and matched blood, and we uncovered a previously unappreciated, complex environment of immune-suppressive cellular interactions. These experiments reveal immune checkpoint expression heterogeneity on individual patient T cells, with corresponding ligands on neoplastic and myeloid cells. TIGIT was upregulated on tumor infiltrating CD8+ T cells and was the only checkpoint receptor consistently expressed by exhausted CD8+ T cells. Clinical annotation of the samples revealed that the exhausted signature is most prominent in patients with advanced stages of disease. Our findings suggest individualized combination therapy, involving anti-TIGIT therapies, may be necessary to extend the benefits of immunotherapy to pancreatic cancer patients.

• The Precision Medicine in Liver Cancer across an Asia-pacific NETwork (PLANET)

  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the 2nd most important cause of cancer deaths in the world. The outcomes of treatment in HCC are poor compared to other common cancers because there are no good systemic therapy drugs. We designed a prospective study that will involve 5 different sites within the established Asia-Pacific Hepatocellular Carcinoma Trials Group to study both the genetics as well as immune profiles of HCC in different ethnicities. In this study, patients will be followed-up and at recurrence the tissues to understand the evolution of disease progression. Here, we presented both the genomic (DNA) and phenotypic (RNA) evolution for the first batch of 56 patients. The detailed findings will be listed in the corresponding publication soon.

• Two lung cancer cell lines with EGFR mutations, PC-9 and KHM-3S, were either treated with Tarceva for 24 hours or left untreated. The gene expression profiles were examined by RNAseq, and the genome wide binding profiles of total STAT3 and pSTAT3 were characterized by ChIPseq.

  Lung cancers harboring activating EGFR mutants show dramatic responses to EGFR TKIs, such as Tarceva. However, nearly all patients show relapse within 1 year after initial treatment. To investigate the early signaling switches that are involved in the formation of drug resistance, and the role of STAT3 in the early signaling switches involved in the formation of drug resistance, we have treated two lung cancer cell lines with EGFR mutations, PC-9 and KMH-3S, with Tarceva for 24hours. The RNA samples with and without treatment were collected in triplicate for RNAseq experiment.The total STAT3 and pSTAT3 chromatinIP were done on samples with and without treatment for ChIPseq.

• HuBMAP: A Spatially Resolved Molecular Atlas of Human Endothelium

  The human circulatory system plays a vital role in the proper functioning of every organ in the human body. Because vascular related diseases, such as atherosclerosis, do not occur homogeneously throughout the vascular tree, differences in the endothelium of various organs must exist. There is even evidence of heterogeneity of adjacent endothelial cells. We are studying normal endothelium throughout the body and across individuals of different ages to characterize these differences. The first step will be to procure normal tissue samples from a wide range of organs. From disaggregated samples of these tissues, we will perform single cell combinatorial indexing (sci-) to generate chromatin accessibility (sci-ATAC-seq) and transcriptome (sci-RNA-seq) data from millions of single cells across hundreds of samples.  Molecular heterogeneity might correlate with multiple facets of the anatomical distribution of endothelium, including vascular vs. lymphatic, arteries vs. veins, capillaries vs. larger vessels, differences between organs, organ zonation, cell-to-cell differences, etc. Based on heterogeneous markers defined from deep profiling of disaggregated cells, we will employ seqFISH to spatially relate the distinct endothelial subpopulations arising from the single nuclei data to histologic preparations. For example, this will allow us to identify subpopulations with particular markers as arterial, capillary, venous, or lymphatic. The end product will include multiparameter images in which the complete gene expression and chromatin accessibility profile can be interactively visualized for every cell.

• Relapse CHL study

  Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME) that supports disease progression. While immune cell recruitment by Hodgkin and Reed–Sternberg (HRS) cells is well-documented, the role of non-malignant B cells in relapse remains unclear. Using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) on paired diagnostic and relapsed CHL samples, we identified distinct shifts in B cell populations, particularly an enrichment of naïve B cells and a reduction of memory B cells in early-relapse compared to late-relapse and newly diagnosed CHL. The enrichment of naïve B cells in early relapse biopsies was confirmed in independent validation cohorts using scRNA-seq and immunohistochemistry. Notably, naïve B cells in early-relapse samples exhibited high expression of LGALS9, an immunosuppressive molecule known to interact with T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) on regulatory T cells (Tregs). Cell-cell interaction analysis revealed the importance of interactions between LGALS9+ naïve B cells and TIM-3+ Tregs in the early-relapse setting. Spatial analysis by imaging mass cytometry confirmed close proximity of LGALS9+ naïve B cells with TIM-3⁺ CD4⁺ T cells and HRS cells, pointing to their role in shaping an immunosuppressive niche. Our findings highlight a previously unrecognized population of LGALS9⁺ naïve B cells with immunoregulatory potential in early-relapse CHL and provide new insights into the spatial and transcriptional architecture of the relapsed TME in CHL.

• WES of precancerous lesions from 10 lynch patients and 3 sporadics

  Raw sequencing data of WES that were obtained from precancerous samples as adenoma and MMR-deficient crypts and paired healthy tissue from MSI CRC patients of which 10 are diagnosed with lynch syndrome and 3 had sporadic cancer. These data were analyzed in order to evaluate microsatellite instability though tumorigenesis and associated to splicing deregulation in MSI tumors RNA.

• RNAseq of ribosomal footprints

  Cancer genes can affect ribosomal RNA processing and this can underlie their essentiality to cells, making them cell-essential in the same way as ribosomal genes themselves. We want to confirm this, in order to understand the results of our CRISPR drop-out screens.NOTE FROM BESPOKE TEAM: Run a single read 1 (forward read) of 30 bases, then an index 1 read as normal. This would fit a 50cycle kit

• Mechanisms of Chemotherapy Resistance in T-ALL

  The goals of this study are to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying leukemic transformation and chemotherapy resistance in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Towards this end, a cohort of T-ALL lymphoblast specimens was collected at the time of initial T-ALL diagnosis (prior to the start of therapy) from children enrolled on contemporary clinical trials, Children's Oncology Group study AALL0434 and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 05-001. Samples were analyzed using targeted exon sequencing and RNA sequencing analysis. Results of these analyses form the basis of studies that have been submitted for publication, and will be linked to this entry once published.
