• Human Liver Cohort (HLC)

  The Human Liver Cohort (HLC) study aimed to characterize the genetic architecture of gene expression in human liver using genotyping, gene expression profiling, and enzyme activity measurements of Cytochrom P450. The HLC was assembled from a total of 780 liver samples screened. DNA samples were genotyped on the Affymetrix 500K SNP and Illumina 650Y SNP genotyping arrays. Only data from those samples which were collected postmortem are accessible through this submission. These 228 samples represent a subset of the 427 samples included in the Human Liver Cohort Publication (Schadt, Molony et al. 2008, PMID: 18462017). RNA samples were profiled on a custom Agilent 44,000 feature microarray composed of 39,280 oligonucleotide probes targeting transcripts representing 34,266 known and predicted genes, including high-confidence, noncoding RNA sequences. Gene Expression data for the samples from which it could be obtained is available in GEO under accession number GSE9588. Results and networks will be made available for download from Sage Bionetworks.

• Functional Genomic Landscape of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

  The implementation of targeted therapies for acute myeloid leukemia has been challenged by complex mutational patterns within and across patients as well as a dearth of pharmacologic agents for most mutational events. The initial findings from the Beat AML program were from a cohort of 672 tumor specimens collected from 562 patients. Additional patients have been added in subsequent versions. We assessed these specimens using whole exome sequencing, RNA-sequencing, and ex vivo drug sensitivity analyses. Our data reveal novel mutational events not previously detected in AML. We show association of drug response with mutational status, including instances of drug sensitivity that are specific to combinatorial mutational events. Integration with RNA-sequencing also revealed gene expression signatures, which predict a role of specific gene networks in drug response. Collectively, this report offers a dataset, accessible by the Beat AML data viewer (www.vizome.org), that can be leveraged to address clinical, genomic, transcriptomic, and functional inquiries into the biology of AML.

• Next Generation Sequencing of Stage IV Squamous Cell Lung Cancers Reveals an Association of PI3K Aberrations and Evidence of Clonal Heterogeneity in Patients with Brain Metastases

  Putative oncogenic pathways in squamous cell lung cancer have been recently characterized, although their biologic repercussions in patients is largely unknown. This study sought to discover potential clinical manifestations of major pathways in squamous cell lung cancer, particularly the PI3K pathway. Two key findings emerged: patients with stage IV squamous cell lung cancer whose tumors harbored upstream PI3K aberrations had significantly worse survival and a higher burden of metastatic disease. In addition, brain metastases were significantly more common in these patients than in others. Paired lung primary/brain metastasis genotyping, including RNA sequencing and whole exome sequencing, uncovered a high degree of genetic heterogeneity between lung/brain pairs, and identified potential regulators of the metastatic process to brain.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of 22 Hodgkin lymphoma tumors and 5 reactive lymph nodes

  Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is characterized by an extensively dominant tumor microenvironment (TME) composed of different types of non-cancerous immune cells with rare malignant cells. Characterization of the cellular components and their spatial relationship is crucial to understanding crosstalk and therapeutic targeting in the TME. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of more than 127,000 cells from 22 HL tissue specimens and 5 reactive lymph nodes, profiling for the first time the phenotype of the HL-specific immune microenvironment at single-cell resolution. Library preparation was performed using the 10x Genomics Chromium system, and Illumina sequencing was used to generate 3' gene expression data for every cell. Downstream analysis was performed in R to identify HL-specific microenvironment patterns and identify novel cell populations.

• IMMUcan Upstream SCCHN3 cohort

  The goal of IMMUcan is to understand how the immune system interacts with tumors and how therapeutic interventions influence this interaction. This cohort includes patients from the UPSTREAM trial, with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) cancer which has spread (metastatic) or the tumour has come back after previous treatment (recurrent). Comprehensive profiling data are integrated with longitudinally collected clinical information. Cellular profiling of the same tumor samples was performed using multiplex immunofluorescence imaging, imaging mass cytometry, and H&E staining.

• Tumour evolvability metrics predict recurrence in advanced localised prostate cancer (normal data)

  There is a need for quantitative measurements of evolutionary metrics in controlled clinical trials with long term follow-up information. This is particularly true in advanced localised prostate cancer, which can recur more than a decade after diagnosis. Here we mapped genomic intra-tumour heterogeneity in 642 tumour samples from 114 patients who took part in the IMRT and DELINEATE clinical trials, for which full clinical information and 12y median follow-up was available. We concomitantly assessed phenotypic (morphological) heterogeneity using Deep Learning in 1,923 histological sections from 250 IMRT patients (fully overlapping with the genetic set). This study shows that combining genomics with AI-aided histopathology in clinical trials leads to novel clinical biomarkers. This EGA repository contains data produced from tumour samples using low coverage whole genome sequencing and a prostate cancer specific gene panel data following compression of unique molecular identifiers.

• Melanoma_Til_Study_RNAseq

  In this study, mutations present in a series of human melanomas (stage IV disease) will be determined, using autologous blood cells to obtain a reference genome. From each of the samples that are analyzed, tumour-infiltrating T lymphocytes have also been isolated. This offers a unique opportunity to determine which (fraction of) mutations in human cancer leads to epitopes that are recognized by T cells. The resulting information is likely to be of value to understand how T cell activating drugs exert their action.

• Resolving the immune landscape of human prostate at a single cell level in health and cancer

  The prostate gland produces prostatic fluid, high in zinc and citrate and essential for the maintenance of spermatozoa. Prostate cancer is a common condition with limited treatment efficacy in castration-resistant metastatic disease, including with immune checkpoint inhibitors. We used single-cell RNA-sequencing to perform an unbiased assessment of the cellular landscape of human prostate and identified a previously unappreciated subset of tumour-enriched androgen receptor-negative luminal epithelial cells, with increased expression of cancer-associated genes. We also found a variety of innate and adaptive immune cells in normal prostate that were transcriptionally perturbed in prostate cancer. An exception was a unique, prostate-specific, zinc transporter-expressing macrophage population (MAC-MT), that contributed to tissue zinc accumulation in homeostasis, but showed enhanced inflammatory gene expression in tumours, including T cell-recruiting chemokines. Remarkably, enrichment of the MAC-MT signature in cancer biopsies was associated with improved disease-free survival, suggesting beneficial anti-tumour functions.

• Massive Genomic Rearrangment Acquired in a Single Catastrophic Event During Cancer Development

  Cancer is driven by mutation. Using Agilent exome hybridisation capture and Illumina GA massively parallel sequencing technology, we aim to sequence ~1600 microRNAs plus the protein coding genome of 25 matched human renal cancer samples. Bespoke algorithms are being developed to identify the somatically acquired point mutations, insertions and deletions in these samples. This project will give unprecedented insights into mutational processes, cellular repair pathways and gene networks associated with renal cancer development.Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 25 renal cancers and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 50 exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes.

• Immunogenomic analysis of tumor infiltrating B cells in gastric cancer

  Despite the accumulating evidences of the significance of humoral cancer immunity, its molecular mechanisms have largely remained elusive. This study aimed at profiling the global picture of the humoral cancer immunity in view of immune repertoire characteristics of tumor-infiltrating B cells. In this study, we investigated B-cell repertoire (BCR) / immunoglobulin (Ig) sequencing of tumor infiltrating B cells in 102 clinical gastric cancers. First, total RNAs were extracted from frozen gastric cancer tissues and corresponding normal gastric mucosa; then, BCR/Ig repertoires of tumor-infiltrating B cells were amplified by target PCR using multiplex primer sets available from iRepertoire(R), inc. Subsequent next-generation sequencing data obtained by the Illumina platform were aligned onto human BCR/Ig repertoire sequence. This dataset contains the repertoire sequencing data of 102 gastric cancer cases analyzed in this study.

• Germline variants in the SEMA4A gene predispose to familial colorectal cancer type X

  Familial colorectal cancer type X (FCCTX) is characterized by clinical features of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer with a yet undefined genetic background. Here, using an integrative genomics strategy, we identify the SEMA4A p.Val78Met germline mutation in an Austrian kindred with FCCTX. Compared with wild-type protein, SEMA4AV78M demonstrates significantly increased MAPK/Erk and PI3K/Akt signaling as well as cell cycle progression of SEMA4A deficient HCT-116 colorectal cancer cells. In a cohort of 53 patients with FCCTX we depict two further SEMA4A mutations, p.Gly484Ala and p.Ser326Phe, and the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) p.Pro682Ser. This SNP is highly associated with the FCCTX phenotype exhibiting increased risk for colorectal cancer (OR 6.79, 95% CI 2.63 to 17.52). Our study shows previously unidentified germline variants in SEMA4A predisposing to FCCTX which has implications for surveillance strategies of patients and their families.
