Cancer-independent, second somatic NF1 mutation of normal tissues in neurofibromatosis type 1

Cancer predisposition syndromes mediated by recessive cancer genes generate tumours via somatic variants (second hits) in the unaffected allele. Second hits may or may not be sufficient for neoplastic transformation. Here, we performed whole genome and exome sequencing on 479 tissue biopsies from a child with neurofibromatosis type 1, a multi-system cancer-predisposing syndrome mediated by constitutive monoallelic NF1 inactivation. We identified multiple independent NF1 driver variants in histologically normal tissues, but not in 610 biopsies from two non-predisposed children. We corroborated this finding using targeted duplex sequencing, including a further nine adults with the same syndrome. Overall, truncating NF1 mutations were under positive selection in normal tissues from individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1. We demonstrate that normal tissues in neurofibromatosis type 1 commonly harbour second hits in NF1, the extent and pattern of which may underpin the syndrome's cancer phenotype.

Mutational signatures in normal tissues of patients treated with clinical stage G-quadruplex binder CX5461

Drug induced photoreactions following exposure to UVA have been documented for several therapeutic compound classes, including psoralens and fluoroquinolones. CX5461, a quinolone-derived small molecule currently in phase 1 studies for cancer treatment, has been shown to be a clinically significant UV photosensitizer. Here we examined the mutagenic spectrum of CX5461 in normal tissues of patients undergoing treatment, by comparing deep whole genome sequencing (WGS) from skin biopsies taken from non-sun exposed areas pre and post drug exposure of patients in the Canadian Cancer Clinical Trials Group (CCTG) IND.231 trial (NCT02719977). We show that a low burden of SNVs (<100) and indels (<40) mutations was detected in post CX5461 skin biopsies, with a pattern resembling background or sequencing artefact signatures. To further characterize the mutational pattern of CX5461 photoreactivity, we compared mutational profiles of human retinal pigment epithelial cells exposed to UVA, CX5461, or a combination of both UV and CX5461. Treatment with CX5461 or UVA alone, resulted in a low SNV burden. In contrast, human cells exposed to UVA and CX5461 had a two to four orders higher mutational burden, with a distinct mutational pattern characterized by T>A, T>C mutations, dissimilar to that of UV alone or CX5461 alone. Our results suggest that human exposure to CX5461 alone is not associated with high levels of single base mutagenesis. However, CX5461 is a very potent UV photosensitizer, underscoring the need for adequate UV screening and controls when studying the effects of photosensitizing small molecules on single base DNA variation.

Clonal Lineage Tracing of Primary Human Cortical Progenitors, Cell Type Profiles in the Brain Vasculature and Genotyping Data for 22q11DS and Control iPS Lines

We sought to characterize the cell types produced by individual human cortical progenitors and describe their lineage relationships. We labeled individual human cortical cells with a massively complex lentivirus library encoding a GFP reporter gene and a molecular barcode that could be captured by standard 3' scRNA-seq methodologies. We then cultured the labeled human cells for 6 weeks in either a 1) mouse cortical astrocyte co-culture system or 2) in the mouse cortex as a xenograft. In a separate experiment, we maintained human cortical tissue slices in organotypic slice culture for 12 days. GFP+ cells were then isolated by FACS and then captured on the 10x chromium scRNA-seq platform. An additional sample was labeled by lentivirus and briefly cultured for 3 days prior to being mixed with mouse 3T3 cells in order to perform a cell mixing experiment ("barnyard") to benchmark our methodologies. We found that human individual cortical progenitors gave rise to both excitatory and inhibitory neurons as well as glia.We also sought to characterize the adult brain vasculature in both vascular malformations and non-malformed tissue. We use the 10x chromium scRNA-seq platform across 10 individuals (5 control and 5 arteriovenous malformations). We find broad disregulation across multiple cell types including the immune cells and find a specific monocyte subtype to contribute to a rupture phenotype. We also find a novel population of fibromyocytes in both conditions.Finally, we confirmed the genotype status of iPS lines that were derived from either karyotypically normal control individuals or from DiGeorge Syndrome patients carrying the 22q11.2 deletion using the Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array v3.0.

Merkel Cell Carcinoma Tissue and Data Repository

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with increasing incidence in the United States. In this study we performed the first whole genome sequencing of three Merkel cell carcinomas with their matched normal tissues for somatic variant calling. From these data we describe the likely mechanism of Merkel cell polyomavirus integration and focal host genomic amplifications in two tumors and the dominance of UV-mediated mutagenesis in a virus-negative tumor. We also performed poly-A RNA sequencing on a total of six Merkel cell carcinomas to address expression differences between virus-positive and virus-negative MCC.

Tumor-derived exosomes modulate PD-L1 expression in monocytes

In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), monocytes and macrophages are skewed toward protumorigenic phenotypes, including the release of tumor-supportive cytokines and the expression of immunosuppressive molecules such as programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1). To understand the mechanism driving protumorigenic skewing in CLL, we evaluated the role of tumor cell–derived exosomes in the cross-talk with monocytes. We carried out RNA sequencing and proteome analyses of CLL-derived exosomes and identified noncoding Y RNA hY4 as a highly abundant RNA species that is enriched in exosomes from plasma of CLL patients compared with healthy donor samples. Transfer of CLL-derived exosomes or hY4 alone to monocytes resulted in key CLL-associated phenotypes, including the release of cytokines, such as C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), CCL4, and interleukin-6, and the expression of PD-L1. These responses were abolished in Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7)–deficient monocytes, suggesting exosomal hY4 as a driver of TLR7 signaling. Pharmacologic inhibition of endosomal TLR signaling resulted in a substantially reduced activation of monocytes in vitro and attenuated CLL development in vivo. Our results indicate that exosome-mediated transfer of noncoding RNAs to monocytes contributes to cancer-related inflammation and concurrent immune escape via PD-L1 expression.

Single-nuclei histone modification profiling of the adult human central nervous system unveils epigenetic memory of developmental programs

We profile the adult human CNS from distinct regions, sex and ages, for chromatin accessibility at the single-nuclei level. Tissue was collected from 20 different donors (10 male, 10 female) within the ages of 34 to 74 years old. Additionally we performed Single-cell nanoCUT&Tag H3K27ac and H3K27me3 profiling for 4 of the donors and multiome single cell assay (RNA-seq+ATAC-seq) for 2 of the donors. Each donor donated fresh frozen white matter from the following three tissue regions: primary motor cortex (Brodmann area 4, BA4), arbor vitae cerebelli (CB) and fasciculi cuneatus and gracilis from and cervical spinal cord (CSC). Tissue was processed semi-randomly, ensuring that each batch of experiments had a representation of both sexes and all three tissue regions. Completed libraries were again randomly multiplexed during sequencing to minimize batch effects. We also performed micro-C,2 replicates, of iPS human derived cell cultures of human oligodendrocyte precursor cells (hOPC).

BLUEPRINT: Epigenetic programming during monocyte to macrophage differentiation and trained innate immunity

Monocyte differentiation into macrophages represents a cornerstone process for host defense. Concomitantly, immunological imprinting of either tolerance or trained immunity determines the functional fate of macrophages and susceptibility to secondary infections. Transcriptomes (RNA-Seq) and epigenomes (ChIP-Seq H3K4me1,H3K4me3,H3K27ac) in four primary cell types: monocytes, in vitro differentiated naive, tolerized and trained macrophages were characterized. Inflammatory and metabolic pathways were modulated in macrophages, including decreased inflammasome activation, and pathways functionally implicated in trained immunity were identified. Strikingly, B-glucan training elicits an exclusive epigenetic signature, revealing a complex network of enhancers and promoters. Analysis of transcription factor motifs in DNase I hypersensitive sites at cell-type specific epigenetic loci unveiled differentiation and treatment specific repertoires. Altogether, this study provides a resource to understand the epigenetic changes that underlie innate immunity in humans.

Impaired HLA Class I Antigen Processing and Presentation as a Mechanism of Acquired Resistance to Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Lung Cancer

Mechanisms of acquired resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether alterations in genes encoding components of the HLA Class I antigen processing and presentation machinery or interferon signaling pathways play a role in acquired resistance to PD-1 or PD-L1 antagonistic antibodies. Whole exome sequencing was performed on tumor samples collected from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer at the time of resistance to PD-1 axis inhibitors and on available matched pre-treatment and normal samples. Patient-derived xenografts successfully established from the ICI-resistant samples were also exome sequenced. Additionally, RNA sequencing was performed on cases with sufficient tissue.

Molecular Etiology of Early-Onset Dystonia

Primary torsin dystonias (PTD) are a group of movement disorders characterized by twisting muscle contractures, where dystonia is the only clinical sign (except for tremor) and there is no evidence of neuronal degeneration or an acquired cause. Eleven genes have been mapped for primary dystonia including DYT1 (TOR1A), DYT2, DYT4 (TUBB4A), DYT6 (THAP1), DYT7, DYT13,, DYT17, DYT21, CIZ1, DYT24 (ANO3), and DYT25 (GNAL); however, only 3 genes (TOR1A, THAP1, and GNAL) have mutations in early onset dystonia patients. Each is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait but with reduced penetrance, meaning that individuals can carry the mutation but do not show clinical symptoms. The most common form of PTD is adult onset focal accounting for about 90% of all cases of dystonia with a prevalence estimated at 30/100,000 in the general population. A small percentage of focal cases are due to mutations in CIZ1, ANO3, THAP1, TUBB4A, and GNAL, but the vast majority is unaccounted for and is most likely multigenic or multifactorial. In this grant, focusing on early onset PTD, we will uncover genes that influence the penetrance of DYT1 (TOR1A) dystonia through GWAS and exome sequencing studies. We will identify other genes for early onset PTD using exome sequencing and determine whether variants within the identified early onset PTD genes or the pathways associated with these genes contribute to susceptibility in the most prevalent form of PTD, focal dystonia, using a case:control association study. The proposed research will identify novel PTD risk factors and genes, which in turn should reveal shared and intersecting pathways leading to a better understanding of the molecular basis of PTD and provide the underpinnings for developing new treatments. Additionally, insight into the factors that modulate disease penetrance would be a first step in determine whether these could be modified leading to a reduced incidence of the disease.

Center for Common Disease Genomics [CCDG] - Cardiovascular: Genetic and Phenotypic Determinants of Blood Pressure and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors

This study is a part of NHGRI's Center for Common Disease Genomics, which is a collaborative large-scale genome sequencing effort to comprehensively identify rare risk and protective variants contributing to multiple common disease phenotypes. Current estimates anticipate that the CCDG program will sequence approximately 140K whole genomes and 225K whole exomes during the life of the project. The Cardiovascular Disease working group of the CCDG considered five diseases: early-onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD), stroke, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Atrial fibrillation will affect between 6-12 million individuals in the US by 2050. AF also is associated with increased risks of stroke, dementia, heart failure, death, and high health care costs. Many risk factors for AF have been identified, including advancing age, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and CVD risk factors. However, there is little knowledge how to prevent AF. Furthermore, therapies for AF are only partially effective, and are themselves associated with substantial morbidity. Previously, heritable forms of AF have been considered rare; yet in the last decade, it has been established that AF, and in particular early-onset forms of AF, are heritable. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide a powerful tool to identify common variants underlying disease risk. The AFGen Consortium currently consists of investigators from more than 25 studies with >20,000 individuals with AF and >100,000 without AF. In the latest analyses, 14 loci have been identified for AF1. Broadly, the loci implicate genes related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels, and cell signaling molecules. Source: ccdg.rutgers.edu The GAPP study is an ongoing national population-based prospective cohort study conducted in the Principality of Liechtenstein. Between 2010 and 2014, all inhabitants of Liechtenstein aged 25-41 years old were asked to participate in the study, and 2170 could be enrolled. The aim of the study is to identify the determinants of blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk factors and their progression over time. A large number of baseline characteristics and health information as well as several blood, urinary and genetic markers were collected. The samples were sent to The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard to generate genetic data using whole exome sequencing and whole genome genotyping (Infinium Global Screening Array); all samples serving as controls.

Effect of Crohn's Disease Risk Alleles on Enteric Microbiota

This UH2/UH3 demonstration project entitled "Effects of Crohn's disease risk alleles on enteric microbiota" is focused on characterizing intestinal associated microbiota in patients with ileal Crohn's disease (ileal CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) and control patients without inflammatory bowel diseases (non-IBD). We hypothesize that genetic factors that affect Paneth cell function, contribute to compositional changes in intestinal microbiota. These changes in microbiota may lead to reduction of protective commensal organisms and increased numbers of aggressive organisms that incite intestinal inflammation. This hypothesis is being tested by high throughput 16S rRNA sequence analysis of de-identified ileal and colonic tissues that have been archived at Washington University St. Louis, University of North Carolina, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic. Multivariate analysis of the metagenomic data will be conducted with genotyping metadata (highly reproducible CD risk alleles, including NOD2 and ATG16L1) and phenotyping metadata (e.g. age, gender, race, body mass index, medications and smoking.) Shotgun sequencing will be performed on selected fecal specimens linked to ileal tissues to identify additional, or auxiliary, or synergistic pathogenic factors or other functional changes in the microbiome. Because members of this research team have observed that a chronic viral infection is required for the Paneth cell defect in Atg16l1 hypomorphic mice, a major focus of these studies will be towards identifying potential viral triggers for the defective Paneth cell phenotype in individuals harboring the ATG16L1 risk allele. Novel genetic probes for protective and aggressive organisms will be developed by mining bacterial genome and shotgun sequencing data. Genomic sequences will be produced for candidate protective and aggressive strains (e.g. adherent-invasive strains of E. coli) isolated from human intestinal tissues where there is limited existing genome information. Quantitative qPCR assays using the novel as well as established genetic probes will be conducted to test the hypothesis that an imbalance between protective and aggressive organisms is associated with genetic factors that affect Paneth cell function. Our combined expertise in multiple disciplines across multiple institutions, our demonstrated ability to collect a large number of well-phenotyped samples with longitudinal clinical information that will be linked to host response and morphologic studies, and our consortium's capacity for high-throughput sequencing will be used to investigate how alterations in human microbiome relate to CD risk alleles and CD pathogenesis.
