• Oesophageal adenocarcinoma RNAseq from LUD2015-005 study (NCT02735239, EudraCT 2015-005298-19)

  This dataset contains bulk transcriptomes from the inoperable cohorts of the LUD2015-005 study (NCT02735239, EudraCT 2015-005298-19). Transcriptomes were prepared from pre-treatment oesophageal tumour biopsies using a ribodepletion approach in order to assess both previously reported (e.g. PD-L1 expression) and novel predictive expression-based biomarkers for immunochemotherapy treatment in this setting. On-treatment and post-treatment biopsies were generated as well to characterize response to therapy, and samples were also prepared from paired normal GI tissues for a subset of patients. scRNA-seq based deconvolution was also applied to bulk transcriptomes in this study to estimate the cell composition of tumour biopsies and assess the link between the presence of specific cell types with immunochemotherapy outcomes.

• Tagged-amplicon deep sequencing

  This dataset contains a collection of tumour samples from high grade serous ovarian carcinoma patients with recurrent disease collected near the point of diagnosis as well as tumour samples collected after patient relapse upon or some time after study entry. Whole blood samples were also collected from patients at study entry for the purpose of germline variant detection. The majority of diagnosis samples were preserved in neutral buffered formalin whereas the majority of post-relapse samples were preserved in universal molecular fixative (UMFIX, Sakura Finetek USA, Inc). DNA was extracted and the tagged-amplicon deep sequencing assay was applied (TAm-Seq, Forshew et al. 2002, Sci Transl Med) with the aid of fluidigm access array technology. Targeted loci were sequenced at very high depths (typically >100X) for the detection of both somatic and germline variants. Sequenced reads were aligned to the GRCh37 reference genome (release hs37d5).

• Studies in the Natural History and Pathogenesis of Childhood-Onset and Adult-Onset Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

  The present study compares transcript and protein regulation in peripheral blood of adult and juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) patients vs. healthy control subjects to identify novel pathways in active patients under treatment. Whole blood data is submitted representing transcript and protein expression, including 14 adult DM and 11 juvenile DM (JDM) patients, and 11 healthy pediatric controls. Whole blood RNA was examined using Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0, and whole blood protein measurements were obtained using SOMAscan Assay v3.2 aptamer-based DNA probes.Expression of 1,124 gene loci were significantly altered at the transcript or protein levels across DM or JDM, with 70 genes shared. A subset of interferon-stimulated genes was elevated. Innate immune markers specific to neutrophil granules and neutrophil extracellular traps were up-regulated in both DM and JDM. Pathway analysis revealed up-regulation of PI3K/AKT, ERK, and p38 MAPK signaling. Up-regulated components shared by DM and JDM included: cytokine:receptor pairs LGALS9:HAVCR2, LTF/NAMPT/S100A8/HSPA1A:TLR4, CSF2:CSF2RA, EPO:EPOR, FGF2/FGF8:FGFR; several Bcl-2 components; and numerous glycolytic enzymes. Pathways unique to DM included sirtuin signaling, aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling, protein ubiquitination, and granzyme B signaling.

• Whole Exome and Transcriptome Sequencing in Sporadic ALS

  Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a fatal and devastating neurodegenerative disorder that causes the progressive death of upper and lower motor neurons. Although many efforts have been done to elucidate molecular factors involved in the onset and progression of the disorder, the causes of ALS are yet unknown and undefined. Transcriptome studies, based mostly on microarrays, have revealed multiple perturbations of the motor neuron function, supporting the current idea that several cellular events contribute to the pathobiology of the disease, including mitochondrial dysfunction, enhanced apoptosis, glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity, free radical injury, protein misfolding, abnormal calcium metabolism and altered axonal transport. In the present study, we have deeply sequenced the whole transcriptome of ventral horns of the human lumbar spinal cord from matched control and ALS post-mortem donors. Whole exome sequencing from the same donors has also been performed to exclude known genetic variants associated to the familiar form of ALS. In addition, to characterize the ALS transcriptome we have sequenced the RNA fraction at low molecular weight in the same tissues and individuals. Genomic and transcriptomic reads have been generated using the Illumina HiSeq2000 sequencer.

• Harnessing Epigenetic Regulators to improve HSC-based lentiviral gene therapy

  Curative benefits of autologous and allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been proven for various diseases. However, the low number of true HSCs that can be collected from patients and subsequently in vitro maintenance and expansion of true HSCs for genetic correction remain challenging. Addressing this issue, we here focused on optimizing culture conditions to improve the ex vivo expansion of true HSCs for gene therapy purposes. In particular, we explore the use of epigenetic regulators to enhance the effectiveness of HSC-based lentiviral (LV) gene therapy. The HDAC inhibitor Quisinostat and the bromodomain inhibitor CPI203 each promote ex vivo expansion of functional HSCs, as validated by xenotransplantation assays and single cell RNA-sequencing analysis. We confirmed the stealth effect of LV transduction on the loss of HSC numbers in commonly used culture protocols, while addition of Quisinostat or CPI203 improved expansion of HSCs in transduction protocols. Of note, we demonstrated that addition of Quisinostat improved LV transduction efficiency of HSCs and early progenitors. Our suggested culture conditions highlight the potential therapeutic effect of epigenetic regulators in hematopoietic stem cell biology and their clinical applications to advance HSC-based gene correction.

• Somatic Mutations in Individual Skin Cells

  Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the primary cause of melanoma through the acquisition of driver mutations in melanocytes. It also plays a significant role in oncogenesis in other skin cells, such as keratinocytes. However, the mutational profiles vary widely among different skin cancers, and the early mutational processes in different cell types from the same skin, is not well understood. Additionally, our preliminary studies also suggest that the mutation burden in different skin cells vary significantly based on risk factors such as the anatomical site and the use of tanning beds. To explore this, we employed innovative Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) tools to perform a site-matched comparison of the genomic landscapes of melanocytes, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts. From 20 biopsies of physiologically normal skin, collected from various anatomical sites across 16 donors, we have performed DNA-sequencing on 106 melanocytes, 78 keratinocytes and 13 fibroblasts. Of these samples, we have also simultaneously performed RNA-sequencing on 78 melanocytes, 46 keratinocytes and 9 fibroblasts. For normal bulk DNA, we also performed targeted (UCSF500; n=9) or exome sequencing (n=8) of skin or saliva samples from the donors.

• Defining Cutaneous Gene Expression Signatures in Juvenile Dermatomyositis

  Skin inflammation in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) can signal disease onset or flare up and prevent complete disease remission. Our objective was to evaluate JDM cutaneous expression signatures through tape stripping in both lesional and non-lesional skin and as compared to paired blood. A total of 28 JDM and 20 control (CTL) patients participated in the study. All patients had tape strip sampling of non-lesional (NL) skin at enrollment visit. Within our JDM cohort, paired lesional (L) skin was additionally sampled if rash was present. 16/28 of JDM patients had at least one additional skin sample associated with a follow-up (FU) visit (total number of follow-up samples included = 26 NL and 4 L). We identified a common innate immune signature in both lesional and non-lesional JDM skin. Using unsupervised hierarchical clustering of skin expression data, we distinguished a JDM molecular subgroup characterized by a mitochondrial dysfunction signature. In comparison to blood expression data, we determined that skin may more effectively highlight the JDM subgroup characterized by a mitochondrial dysfunction expression signature. Data available include bulk RNA-sequencing data from tape strips and blood of the JDM and control patients from this study.

• Omic Studies in Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup (CREW) Cohorts

  Children's Respiratory Research Workgroup (CREW) is an NIH-funded project consisting of multiple individual U.S. cohorts and three scientific centers working together to identify phenotypes and causes of childhood asthma. CREW will include data from a large number of children and their families, with broad diversity in terms of ethnicity, family characteristics, neighborhoods and geographic locations. One of the primary goals of CREW is to put together sets of data and samples of participating cohorts to identify phenotypes of childhood asthma (i.e. specific subtypes of asthma that can be distinguished by clinical features such as natural history, triggers, exacerbation frequency, concurrent allergies, lung function, sex, etc). Omics studies will include genotyping, methylation, and RNA sequencing. By integrating the DNA genotyping with the expression, immunologic and clinical data, we will identify eQTL, inflammation QTL, and lung function QTL, as well as QTL associated with other biomarkers. Analyses will identify genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional and protein/metabolite profiles that are associated with specific exposures or phenotypes. As we obtain mechanistic insights about personal and early life risk factors, we will connect asthma phenotypes with underlying causes and pathogenic mechanisms to define endotypes of childhood asthma.

• Biallelic loss of function PAX4 variants are a Novel Cause of Transient Neonatal Diabetes

  The identification of genes in which loss of function (LoF) variants cause neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) can provide unique insights into the development and function of human pancreatic beta cells. We describe the identification of biallelic PAX4 LoF variants in 2 unrelated individuals with transient NDM: one due to a homozygous p.(Arg126*) PAX4 stop gain variant and a second due to a homozygous c.-352_104del 2.65kb deletion affecting the first 4 exons and promoter of the PAX4 Matched Annotation from NCBI and EMBL-EBI select transcript. We confirmed reduced transcript expression due to nonsense mediated decay for the e p.(Arg126*) variant in CRISPR-edited iPSC-derived pancreatic endoderm cells. Analysis of PAX4 binding through integration of CUT&RUN and RNA-sequencing in PAX4 depleted endocrine cells identified genes directly regulated by PAX4 involved in both pancreatic islet development and glucose-sensitive insulin secretion. The remitting and relapsing diabetes in both probands demonstrates that in contrast to mice PAX4 is not essential for the development of pancreatic beta-cells and supports differences in the requirements of functional beta-cell mass across the life-course.
