• The patterns and dynamics of genomic instability in metastatic pancreatic cancer

  Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy with a five-year mortality of 97–98%, usually due to widespread metastatic disease. Previous studies indicate that this disease has a complex genomic landscape, with frequent copy number changes and point mutations, but genomic rearrangements have not been characterized in detail. Despite the clinical importance of metastasis, there remain fundamental questions about the clonal structures of metastatic tumours, including phylogenetic relationships among metastases, the scale of ongoing parallel evolution in metastatic and primary sites, and how the tumour disseminates. Here we harness advances in DNA sequencing to annotate genomic rearrangements in 13 patients with pancreatic cancer and explore clonal relationships among metastases. We find that pancreatic cancer acquires rearrangements indicative of telomere dysfunction and abnormal cell-cycle control, namely dysregulated G1-to-S-phase transition with intact G2–M checkpoint. These initiate amplification of cancer genes and occur predominantly in early cancer development rather than the later stages of the disease. Genomic instability frequently persists after cancer dissemination, resulting in ongoing, parallel and even convergent evolution among different metastases. We find evidence that there is genetic heterogeneity among metastasis-initiating cells, that seeding metastasis may require driver mutations beyond those required for primary tumours, and that phylogenetic trees across metastases show organ-specific branches. These data attest to the richness of genetic variation in cancer, brought about by the tandem forces of genomic instability and evolutionary selection.

• Type I Interferon and Cycling Lymphocytes in Macrophage Activation Syndrome

  We performed immune profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with Still's disease and macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) using bulk RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing. Three groups were included in the study: healthy controls, patients with Still's disease without macrophage activation syndrome, and patients with Still's disease and macrophage activation syndrome. We found that macrophage activation syndrome is associated with transcriptomic signatures of interferon upregulation and cell cycling. We identified cycling lymphocytes within T cell and NK cell populations that are correlated with MAS disease activity. All sequencing data are available through dbGaP.

• 300BCG study: human population variation of trained immunity

  To investigate human population variation of trained immunity, we immunized healthy individuals with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). This live attenuated vaccine induces not only an adaptive immune response against tuberculosis, but also triggers innate immune activation and memory. We established personal chromatin accessibility maps over a time course of BCG vaccination in the 300BCG cohort using ATAC-seq.

• Single-Cell Profiling of the Human Endometrium in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Uncovering Disease Signatures and Treatment Responses

  We generated the first single-nuclei map of human endometrial biopsies from women with and without PCOS to identify cell-type-specific disease signatures, compositional variations, and transcriptomic reversibility after a 16-week intervention with metformin or lifestyle. Single nuclei were extracted from 27 frozen endometrial biopsies for snRNA-seq using the 10X Genomics protocol.

• Tumor Profiler Melanoma Study

  The Tumor Profiler Study is an observational trial combining a prospective diagnostic approach to assess the relevance of in-depth tumor profiling to support clinical decision-making with an exploratory approach to improve the biological understanding of the disease. Technologies used are digital pathology, targeted NGS, single-cell RNA, single-cell DNA, bulk RNA, bulk proteotyping, single-cell CyTOF, imaging mass cytometry, pharmacoscopy, 4i Drug Response Profiling, and cell-free DNA. These technologies were applied to 240 tumor samples collected over 3 years across three cancer indications: metastatic melanoma, metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we publish the scRNA, scDNA, and bkRNA data of the melanoma cohort.

• Blood Transcriptome Profiling Following Seizures

  The retrospective diagnosis or confirmation of a seizure, after the event, is very challenging. Many times clinicians can only use a patient's self-reported history. To further complicate the diagnosis, it is known that 20-30% of patients reporting a seizure actually suffer from psychogenic non-epileptic seizure (PNES). The patient has the behavior of a seizure, but does not suffer from brain seizure activity. Considerable time and resources are used to monitor PNES, and many patients undergo unnecessary therapy with anti-epileptic drugs. These resources could be more effectively used if we could confirm a seizure after the event (retrospective diagnosis). Here we propose a novel approach to distinguish seizures from PNES after the seizure event has happened.We have developed an accurate blood biomarker technology to diagnose acute brain injury, and assess chronic progression following brain injury. Previous studies support the premise that seizures affect blood RNA expression; here we assess temporal RNA expression pattern changes following seizure. We present preliminary preclinical data showing the discrimination of electric-stimulation evoked animal seizures. Here, we validate this maturing technology to assist with the discrimination of epileptic seizures from psychogenic non-epileptic seizures. We will analyze blood samples from patients undergoing video EEG monitoring in an epilepsy monitoring unit (Emory University Hospital, Atlanta GA). We expect 20% of these patients will have PNES. Once a patient has an EEG verified seizure, we will collect blood at various time points and identify biomarker RNA molecules in the blood. Blood samples will be collected from patients with non-verified seizures as control. These RNA expression values will be used to develop a predictive test for the occurrence of seizures. A biomarker gene panel will be developed from this exploratory project for validation in a larger patient population.
