• LCM-RNAseq on human lung macrophages

  In the reported study, we employed Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) for the transcriptome profiling of lung macrophages cells populations as a function of location within the healthy tissue. In detail, macrophage mini-bulks (100 cells each) were collected by LCM from 4 healthy human donors in 5 different locations of the airways (a total of 20 biopsies), including parenchyma (L1 – lower left lobe (LLL); L6 – 80% distance from LLL tip), trachea (L2), bronchi (L3 – 1st/2nd generation; L5 – 3rd/4th generation) and processed for RNA-seq.

• Application of short-RNA-seq in post-mortem human hippocampi from the Calgary Brain Bank (CBB) to assess transcriptome-wide deregulation in processing of SINE Alu RNAs in Alzheimer’s disease

  Here, we investigate through short-RNA_seq in human hippocampi from the Calgary Brain Bank (CBB) whether Alu RNAs are processed in human brains, and whether their processing ratio is deregulated in brains of AD patients compared to healthy aging individuals.

• RNA-seq of cells after injection into immunodeficient mice

  This dataset includes 73 samples profiled by high-throughput Illumina sequencing, in bam format, aligned to GRCh37. Normal human CD34+ cord blood (CB), bone marrow (BM), or post-natal thymus (PNT) cells were transduced with various combinations of T-ALL oncogenes, cultured in vitro on OP9-DL1 feeders for up to 25 days, and then transplanted into immunodeficient NSG or NRG mice. The samples were collected after development of frank leukemia in recipient mice.

• Fibroblast heterogeneity drives metastatic spread in breast cancer through distinct mechanisms

  The major cause of death among breast cancer patients is metastatic dissemination, suggesting that understanding the mechanisms driving this process remains an unmet medical need. Here, by concomitantly using 5 markers, we identify 4 Carcinoma-Associated Fibroblasts (CAF) subsets in primary tumors and corresponding metastatic lymph nodes (LN). Two CAF subsets, called CAF-S1 and CAF-S4, correlate with the proportion of cancer cells in invaded LN and exert distinct functions in tumor cell spread. CAF-S1 promote cancer cell migration and initiates an epithelial to mesenchymal transition through a CXCL12 / TGFb positive loop. For their part, the highly contractile CAF-S4 foster cancer cell motility and invasion in 3-dimensional matrix via Notch pathway activation. Finally, CAF-S1 and CAF-S4 accumulation in LN is a new prognostic factor at diagnostic, independent of breast cancer subtypes and LN status, strengthening the validity of our findings in human breast cancer pathophysiology.

• Extrachromosomal DNA Amplification Contributes to Small Cell Lung Cancer Heterogeneity and is Associated with Worse Outcomes

  Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a very aggressive neuroendocrine lung cancer often associated with oncogenic MYC amplifications, which are known to drive SCLC heterogeneity marked by neuroendocrine (NE) and non-neuroendocrine (non-NE) cell states. The genetic mechanisms of MYC amplification and phenotypic plasticity between cell states is not known. Using data from cell-lines and a few patient-derived samples along with integrated whole-genome sequencing, long-range optical mapping, single-cell DNA sequencing, and fluorescence in situ hybridization, we have attempted to successfully characterize extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) as the primary source of MYC amplifications and driver fusions in SCLC.

• Extracellular vesicles from TGF-β-activated cancer-associated fibroblasts remodel the tumor microenvironment through EV surface-associated proteins.

  In this study, we explored the function of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from non-activated cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and TGF-β-activated CAFs. We tested these two types of EVs on other cell types in the tumor environment, including cancer cells, CD8+ T cells, and CAFs. We further explored the protein cargo in EVs altered by TGF-β treatment using quantitative proteomics, and selected several highly upregulated proteins for further analysis. We found that the majority of these proteins were presented on the EV surface, and they regulated the target cells in an EV-cell contact dependent manner.

• Smart-seq 2 single cell sequencing of CD4 and CD8 T cells from the blood and synovial fluid of 4 psoriatic arthritis patients.

  This dataset was used to characterise T cell gene expression and clonality at sites of active inflammation within the joints of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients, and to compare these results with T cells from the peripheral blood of those same patients. Freshly sorted CD45RA negative CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ single cells from four patients were individually flow sorted into 96-well full-skirted plates (Eppendorf) containing 10µL of a 2% Dithiothreitol (DTT, 2M Sigma-Aldrich), RTL lysis buffer (Qiagen) solution. Cell lysates were sealed, mixed and spun down before storing at -80 ºC. Paired-end multiplexed sequencing libraries were prepared following the Smart-seq 2 protocol using the Nextera XT DNA library prep kit (Illumina). A pool of barcoded libraries from four different plates were sequenced across two lanes on the Illumina HiSeq 2500.

• Whole Exome Sequencing for Colorectal Cancer

  This project was designed to use next generation sequencing technology to screen the protein coding regions of the genome for low frequency variants in a panel of high-risk colorectal adenocarcinoma cases. Blood and cell-line DNA for colorectal cancer patients and a subset of quality control samples that had existing whole exome sequence data were analyzed using Illumina HiSeq sequencers. Samples from this project were from participants in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the Diet, Activity, and Lifestyle Study (DALS).

• 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.

• 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.

• Targeted_sequencing_of_genes_recurrently_mutated_in_AML___part2

  Genomic libraries will be generated from total genomic DNA derived from 4000 samples with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Libraries will be enriched for a selected panel of genes using a bespoke pulldown protocol. 64 Samples will be individually barcoded and subjected to up to one lanes of Illumina HiSeq. Paired reads will be mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the characterisation of known gene mutations in cancer as well as the validation of potentially novel variants identified by prior exome sequencing.

• Genotyping by OncoArray and Global Screening Array for colorectal cancer risk prediction

  The study was conducted to build a Polygenic risk scores (PRS) based on a reported set of 140 single nucleotide polymorphisms that were identified to be associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Genotyping by OncoArray and Global Screening Array was performed using DNA extracted from blood samples collected at baseline of 187 participants who develop CRC and 176 randomly selected controls without diagnosis of CRC identified within 14 years of follow-up.
