• mRNA and T cell receptor sequencing of patients with Pandemrix-associated narcolepsy type 1

  Increased risk of Narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) was reported among children and adolescents vaccinated with AS03-adjuvanted pandemic influenza A vaccine (H1N1; Pandemrix®). We hypothesized that viral T cell epitope(s) in Pandemrix mimicked self-epitope(s), and that recognition of these cross-reactive epitopes contributed to disease-specific autoimmunity. We demonstrate that pediatric, Pandemrix-associated NT1 patients had enhanced T-cell immunity against dominant T-cell epitopes of Pandemrix vaccine viral proteins neuraminidase (NA) and nucleoprotein (NP), and also responded against a self-epitope in brain-expressed protein-O-mannosyltransferase 1 (POMT1). Here, the gene expression profiles and TCR repertoire of PBMC from patients and healthy controls were compared. PBMC samples were stimulated with peptides NA-175-189 or POMT1-675-589, and bulk RNA isolated and sequenced (RNAseq and TCRseq).

• Multi-omic single-cell profiling of peripheral blood immune cells from COVID-19 patients and controls.

  The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in excess morbidity and mortality as well as economic decline. To characterise the systemic host immune response to SARS-CoV-2, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing coupled with analysis of cell surface proteins, providing molecular profiling of over 800,000 peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a cohort of 130 patients with COVID-19. Our cohort, from three UK centres, spans the spectrum of clinical presentations and disease severities ranging from asymptomatic to critical. Three control groups were included: healthy volunteers, patients suffering from a non-COVID-19 severe respiratory illness and healthy individuals administered with intravenous lipopolysaccharide to model an acute inflammatory response. Full single cell transcriptomes are coupled with quantification of 188 cell surface proteins, and T and B lymphocyte antigen receptor repertoires.

• Vento_Placental_Cell_Atlas

  The Human Cell Atlas initiative is an ambitious global research effort which aims to describe every cell in the human body across all developmental stages to generate a reference map to accelerate progress in science and medicine particularly relating to human development and disease. The initiative is led by investigators based at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and funding support from the Wellcome and NIH. This specific project will assess human development. We aim to interrogate the cellular composition and molecular regulators underpinning development and maturation through single cell RNA-sequencing/spatial transcriptomics and computational algorithms to predict cellular developmental trajectories and cell-cell interactions. We will subsequent validate these findings in situ using allied imaging technologies e.g. immunohistochemistry and RNAscope and in vitro culture of human intestinal organoids (HIOs).

• SPECTA RP-1759-AYA Sarcoma cohort

  EORTC-SPECTA RP1759 study focuses on cancers in adolescent and young adult (AYA), age 12 to 29 years. This study explicitly recruited AYA patients and therefore collected empirical data to bridge the molecular gap between pediatric and adult oncology. The initial pilot study, activated in February 2019 across Europe, aimed to recruit 100 AYA patients (aged 12-29 years) with newly diagnosed or relapsed high-grade gliomas and high-grade bone and soft tissue sarcomas. The primary objective of the pilot is to determine feasibility and recruitment rates. Here we submit the data from patients with newly diagnosed, recurrent intermediate or high-grade sarcoma that were collected and analyzed during the study. More specifically, we submit raw FASTQ files obtained from whole exome sequencing (WES) of matching tumor and blood samples, tumor RNA sequencing and DNA methylation profiling.

• Analysis of IDHwt-glioblastoma samples from paired primary and recurrent tumor samples

  IDHwt-glioblastomas rapidly recur after initial treatment. To study genetic evolution in glioblastoma, we analyzed whole genomes of 21 pairs of primary and recurrent tumor samples using next generation sequencing. In addition we sequenced RNA from 16 tumor pairs and a panel of 50 glioma-associated genes in tumor pairs from 43 patients (including 14 of the 21 patients included in the WGS discovery set). Glioblastoma subtypes were determined using 450k/EPIC methylation arrays. This study was supported within the e:med program of the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) by the collaborative research project ‘SYS-GLIO - Systems-based prediction of the biological and clinical behavior of gliomas’ (https://www.sys-med.de/de/demonstratoren/sys-glio/) This study is part of the Heidelberg Center for Personalized Oncology - HIPO-043

• Targeting AXL Kinase Uniquely Sensitizes Therapy-Insensitive Leukemic Stem and Progenitor Cells to Venetoclax Treatment in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  The abundance of genetic abnormalities and phenotypic heterogeneities in AML pose significant challenges to developing improved treatments. Here we demonstrated that a key GAS6/AXL axis is highly activated in AML patient cells, particularly in leukemic stem cells. We developed a potent, selective AXL inhibitor that has excellent pharmaceutical properties and efficacy against preclinical patient-derived xenotransplantation models of AML. Importantly, inhibition of AXL sensitized AML stem/progenitor cells to venetoclax treatment, with strong synergistic effects in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, single-cell RNA-sequencing and functional validation studies uncovered that AXL inhibition or in combination with venetoclax potentially targets intrinsic metabolic vulnerabilities of AML stem/progenitor cells, which shows a distinct transcriptomic profile and inhibits mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. These findings have direct translational impact on the treatment of AML and other cancers with high AXL activity.

• COPD and neutrophils

  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.

• Raw human sequencing data for “Characterization of intestinal immune responses in generalized human and murine lipodystrophy”

  This dataset contains raw FASTQ files generated from peripheral blood and intestinal biopsy samples collected for the study “Characterization of intestinal immune responses in generalized human and murine lipodystrophy.” Peripheral blood sequencing was performed on samples from three healthy donors as controls and from a patient with acquired generalized lipodystrophy and Crohn’s disease (AGLCD) at two distinct timepoints. Intestinal biopsy–derived immune cells were sequenced from three individuals with Crohn’s disease as disease controls, as well as from the AGLCD patient (single timepoint). The data include paired-end FASTQ files derived from single-cell RNA sequencing and T-cell receptor repertoire profiling, enabling analyses of immune composition, transcriptional states, and clonal T-cell expansion. All data are controlled-access human genomic datasets and require appropriate authorization for secondary use.
