Spatial multi-omic map of human myocardial infarction

We applied an integrative single-cell genomics strategy with single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) and single nucleus Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq) together with spatial transcriptomics from the same tissue mapping human cardiac cells in homeostasis and after myocardial infarction (MI) at unprecedented spatial and molecular resolution. We profiled in total 31 samples from 23 patients including four non-transplanted donor hearts as controls and samples from tissues with necrotic tissue areas (ischemic zone, IZ), border zone (BZ), and the non-affected left ventricular myocardium (remote zone, RZ) of patients with acute MI.

Bulk RNA sequencing of day 2 and day 7 biopsies from the tuberculin skin test in people with latent tuberculosis, and of day 2 biopsies from saline controls

We used the tuberculin skin test (TST) as human challenge model to study the temporal evolution of the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) antigens in vivo. Study participants comprised healthy HIV seronegative adults, 18-60 years of age. Latent tuberculosis (TB) infection was defined as immune memory for Mtb-specific antigens identified by positive peripheral blood IFNg release assays, but no clinical or radiological evidence of active TB. Two units tuberculin each were injected intradermally into the contralateral forearms of participants. After 2 days (n=216) or 7 days (n=158), 3 mm skin punch biopsies were taken from the injection sites and processed for whole genome transcriptional profiling by bulk RNA sequencing. The time points reflect maximum clinical inflammation (day 2) and maximum T cell infiltration (day 7) of the TST. TST samples were compared to skin biopsies taken two days after control injection of saline in a separate group of individuals (n=33), comprising healthy volunteers as well as patients with active or latent TB, ranging from 18-75 years of age. This dataset includes 407 samples from 256 individuals (n=33 saline, n=223 with Day 2 and/or Day 7 TST). Skin biopsies were collected into RNAlater (Qiagen) for RNA extraction. Total RNA was obtained with the Precellys Evolution homogenizer (Bertin Instruments) and Qiagen RNeasy mini kit. RNA was subjected to DNase treatment to remove contaminating genomic DNA using a TURBO DNA-free kit (Ambion, Life Technologies). The KAPA mRNA HyperPrep Kit (Roche Diagnostics) was used to construct stranded mRNA-Seq libraries from up to 500 ng intact total RNA. Paired-end sequencing was performed on the Illumina Nextseq using the Nextseq 500/550 High Output 75 cycle kit (Illumina). Runs were demultiplexed using bcl2fastq by Illumina.

Integrated single-cell profiling dissects cell-state-specific enhancer landscapes of human tumor infiltrating T cells.

Despite extensive studies on the chromatin landscape of exhausted T cells, the transcriptional wiring underlying functional and dysfunctional states of human tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is incompletely understood. Here, we identify tissue-specific and general gene-regulatory landscapes in the wide breadth of CD8+ TIL functional states covering four cancer entities using single-cell chromatin profiling. We map enhancer-promoter interactions in human TILs by integrating single-cell chromatin accessibility with single-cell RNA-seq data from tumor entity-matching samples and prioritize key elements by super enhancer analysis. Our analysis reveals a human core chromatin trajectory to TIL dysfunction and identifies key enhancers, transcriptional regulators, and deregulated target genes involved in this process. Finally, we validate enhancer regulation at loci encoding PD1, TCF1, and TIM3 by targeting non-coding regulatory elements with potent CRISPR activators and repressors. In summary, our study advances the understanding of molecular regulation of TIL (dys-)function and provides a framework for modulating immunotherapeutic relevant TIL genes via their enhancers.

Single-Cell Genomic Analysis of Gastrointestinal Cancer

Our study aimed to define the heterogeneity of gastrointestinal cancers at a single-cell resolution. We subjected single-cell suspensions derived from surgical resections of gastrointestinal cancer tissue, paired normal tissue, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or their ex vivo cultures to high-throughput microfluidics based single-cell RNA and DNA sequencing. We analyzed the features of the tumor microenvironment including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, macrophages and lymphocytes to determine their contribution to tumor growth and progression. We also characterized the mechanisms of immunosuppression in these tumors. This analysis led to novel insights into the biology of the microenvironment and also enabled the identification of new treatment targets.

RNAseq of 704 patients with soft tissue tumors

The dataset contains transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) data of 704 soft tissue tumors (STT) from 704 patients. The sequencing data comes in FASTQ format and contains 1408 files. A total of 56 different STT types were included in the present study and each tumor type was represented by >2 samples. The vast majority of the patients had been diagnosed and treated at the sarcoma centers in Lund (Sweden) or Stockholm (Sweden) during the period 1988-2020, but also a few samples from other centers, obtained through previous collaborative projects, were included. RNA was extracted from fresh frozen tumor material and samples were primary lesions unless otherwise indicated. The sequencing was performed using 2x150 bp paired-end chemistry on a series of Illumina instruments at various facilities during the period 2013-2023.Samples were obtained after informed consent from the patients and the study was approved by the regional ethics committee (Etikprövningsmyndigheten, Uppsala, dnr 2023-01550-01, dnr 2025-02997-02).

SU2C-MARK Lung Cancer Consortium - Checkpoint Blockade Response Project

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have become a critical part of the armamentarium against advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). While early studies have identified Tumor Mutation Burden (TMB) and PD-L1 staining as important biomarkers of response, they remain imperfect predictors. Here we describe a multi-institutional effort as part of the SU2C-MARK Lung Cancer Consortium in which Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) - and in select cases, RNA sequencing – was performed on a large collection of NSCLC samples prior to immune checkpoint blockade therapy, along with matched clinical response data following therapy. (Profiling of a small number of on- or post-treatment samples was also performed.) We anticipate this dataset to be of high value for the development of a deep understanding of the molecular determinants of immune checkpoint blockade response as well as the discovery of novel biomarkers.

Long-Read Sequencing to Identify Inherited Mutations Predisposing to Breast Cancer

We aimed to detect deeply intronic mutations within genes linked to breast/ovarian cancer that are potentially under-reported in clinical testing due to technical limitations. Current DNA and RNA tests typically exclude these regions, which harbor many variants within complex repetitive sequences that short-read sequencing cannot align. By employing targeted long read sequencing together with recent in silico prediction tools, we assessed the implications of rare deep intronic variants in severely affected patients with breast, ovarian, and/or metastatic prostate cancer, who had previously tested negative using standard genomic or cDNA methods. Through this approach, we identified participants who carried deep intronic mutations in tumor suppressor genes, resulting in abnormal transcripts causing premature truncations and loss of gene function. This study underscores the potential of long read DNA and cDNA sequencing in enhancing mutation discovery efforts.

The Mood and Methylation Study (MMS)

The Mood Methylation Study (MMS) is an observational study designed to understand epigenetic mechanisms underlying major depression symptoms (MDD) using a co-twin control design. Twins enrolled in the MMS were monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant on lifetime history of MDD. All twins were members of the Washington State Twin Registry (WSTR), a community-based twin registry consisting of over 10,000 twin pairs. Lifetime and current MDD diagnoses were determined using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Research Version (SCID-4-RV). DNA methylation in blood monocytes was measured using the Infinium HumanMethylationEPIC BeadChip. Monocyte gene expression was quantified by paired end RNA-seq (50 PE). Zygosity of the twin pairs included in the MMS was self-reported and confirmed using the polymorphic SNPs included in the DNA methylation array.
