• Comparison of single/pooled CTCs and bulk exome sequencing

  Single cell technologies allow the interrogation of tumor heterogeneity, providing insights into tumor evolution and treatment resistance. To better understand whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) could complement metastatic biopsies for tumor genomic profiling, we characterized 11 single CTCs and 10 pooled CTC samples at the mutational and copy number aberration (CNA) levels, and compared these results with matched synchronous tumor biopsies from 3 metastatic breast cancer patients with triple-negative (TNBC), HER2-positive and estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors. Similar CNA profiles and the same patient-specific driver mutations were found in bulk tissue and CTCs for the HER2-positive and TNBC tumors, whereas different CNA profiles and driver mutations were identified for the ER+ tumor, which presented two distinct clones in CTCs defined by mutations in ESR1 Y537N and TP53, respectively. Furthermore, de novo mutational signatures derived from CTCs described patient-specific biological processes. These data suggest that tumor tissue and CTCs provide complementary clinically relevant information to map tumor heterogeneity and tumor evolution.

• DERMATLAS: Hidradenoma papilliferum_RNAseq

  Virtually no other tumour type is associated with so many different forms as skin cancer. Histologically, tumours of the skin may arise from epithelium, including epidermis, hair follicle, sebaceous or sweat gland, melanocytes, dermal-associated mesenchymal structures or tissue resident immune cells, making for a diversity of clinical presentations. Importantly, many skin tumour types have an extremely poor prognosis. Many skin tumour subtypes have never undergone molecular profiling, or if they have, targeted sequencing has been used and the number of cases analyzed has been so limited that deriving firm conclusions about the profile of driver genes, DNA mutational signatures and germline alleles has not been possible.For 70 key skin tumour subtypes defined by the World Health Organization, that have not undergone extensive genetic analysis previously, we propose to perform whole exome and transcriptome sequencing, from a range of body sites, to build a genomic atlas of dermatological tumours, including detailed maps of SNVs, copy number alterations, genome-wide methylation and expression profiles.

• A developmental cell atlas of the human thyroid gland - WGS

  The thyroid gland produces hormones essential for health from embryogenesis to adulthood. Thyroid disorders, including congenital hypothyroidism and thyroid carcinoma, are prevalent and pose significant health challenges. Congenital hypothyroidism often results from thyroid dysgenesis or impaired hormone synthesis, is particularly prevalent in trisomy 21 (T21), while thyroid carcinoma is the most frequent endocrine malignancy, affecting both paediatric and adult populations. Understanding the molecular basis of these conditions requires deeper insights into fetal thyroid development. We generated a spatiotemporal atlas of the human thyroid during early pregnancy, revealing key cell types, including hormone-producing thyrocytes. Thyroid follicular cells are heterogeneous, with two functional cell states (fTFC1, fTFC2) that persist into adulthood, with fTFC2 characterised by elevated PAX8 expression. We demonstrated that T21 thyroids displayed dysgenesis with disrupted follicular morphology, and altered extracellular matrix interactions, and that the fTFC2 signature was enriched in paediatric papillary thyroid cancer compared to adults. These findings uncover thyrocyte heterogeneity across the lifespan, advancing understanding of thyroid development and disease.

• The cellular immune and airway epithelial profile throughout childhood and in response to COVID-19 at multi-omic single cell level.

  Single-cell data gene expression data set (5’Chromium 10X) of healthy paediatric volunteers, and paediatric and adult COVID-19 patients. Gene expression was determined from samples of nasal, tracheal and bronchial brushings and blood (PBMCs). In addition to gene expression, PBMC’s were assayed by CITE-seq. A subset of samples have VDJ sequencing data for T cell receptors (TCR) and B cell receptors (BCR).

• Type I Interferon Exacerbates Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Induced Human Macrophage Death

  In this study, we tested whether type I interferons (IFN-I), namely IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, may promote Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) pathogenesis by exacerbating cell death of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) infected with Mtb. We differentiated the MDM under two different published methods (see Document Method.pdf for Table 1 of Methods). To determine if MDM infected with Mtb upregulates IFN-I transcripts, signaling factors, or IFN-I stimulated genes (ISGs), the MDM were infected with Mtb or treated with an activator of stimulator of IFN genes (STING), diamidobenzimidazole (di-ABZI). STING activation acted as a positive control for IFN-I induction and ISG upregulation. Indeed, di-ABZI treated MDM differentiated under both methods upregulated ISGs 24 hpi. At 24 hour post treatment, MDM differentiated under one method, but not under another method, upregulated ISGs, such as ISG15, IFITM3, and CXCL10, upon Mtb infection. MDM differentiated under both methods upregulated ISGs upon di-ABZI treatment.

• Clinical Outcomes by Tumor Mutational Burden and Inflammatory Gene Expression With Combined Nivolumab and Ipilimumab or Monotherapy in Advanced Melanoma_CM67-RNASeq

  Purpose Exploratory analyses of CheckMate 066 and 067 trials were conducted to investigate associations of tumor mutational burden (TMB), a 4-gene inflammatory gene expression signature, and BRAF mutation status with tumor response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced melanoma. Patients and Methods Patients with known programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and BRAF mutation status received nivolumab (NIVO) or dacarbazine in CheckMate 066 and either NIVO, ipilimumab (IPI), or NIVO+IPI in CheckMate 067. Whole exome sequencing and RNA sequencing were used to determine TMB and inflammatory gene expression signature scores, respectively. These biomarkers were evaluated in terms of their association with PFS and OS. Results In the NIVO, NIVO+IPI, and IPI arms of CheckMate 067, longer survival was associated with high (> median) versus low (≤ median) TMB with hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval [CI]) for PFS of 0.45 (0.30–0.65), 0.55 (0.38–0.81), and 0.60 (0.43–0.82), and for OS of 0.46 (0.30–0.71), 0.53 (0.34–0.82), and 0.52 (0.36–0.74), respectively. For NIVO-treated patients, these results were confirmed in CheckMate 066. A survival benefit was observed with high TMB and absence of BRAF mutation. Survival was associated with high versus low inflammatory signature scores with HRs (95% CI) for PFS of 0.56 (0.34–0.94), 0.40 (0.23–0.72), and 0.43 (0.27–0.70), and for OS of 0.37 (0.20–0.66), 0.38 (0.19–0.74), and 0.46 (0.27–0.79), in the NIVO, NIVO+IPI, and IPI arms, respectively. Weak correlations were observed between PD-L1, TMB, and the inflammatory signature. Conclusions Combined assessment of TMB, inflammatory gene expression signature, and BRAF mutation status may be predictive for response to immunotherapy in advanced melanoma.
