• Correlative Studies for Protocol #14-C-0059: T Cells Expressing an Anti-GD2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Patients with GD2+ Solid Tumors, a Collaboration with CIMAC-CIDC

  This study is a retrospective correlative analysis of immune cell phenotypes in samples from a Phase I clinical trial (NCT02107963) of GD2 CAR-T cells (GD2-CAR.OX40.28.z.iC9) in children and young adults with osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma. The study was a 3+3 dose-escalation study with four dose levels (1 x 10(5) transduced T cells/kg; 1 x 106 transduced T cells/kg; 3 x 106 transduced T cells/kg; and 1 x 107 transduced T cells/kg). Apheresis and final manufactured GD2 CAR-T product samples were analyzed by bulk RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing. The patients were stratified into good CAR-T expanders (peak CAR-T expansion >1000 GD2 CAR copies/100ng DNA) and poor CAR-T expansion (peak CAR-T expansion Increased naïve T cell subsets in baseline apheresis are associated with patients who experienced good CAR T cell expansion A T cell exhaustion signature was observed in the manufactured GD2 CAR-T product and may have contributed to lack of efficacy observed in this trial Increased myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) signatures were observed in patients with poor CAR-T expansion CAR-T product in good expanders displayed increased AP-1 factor transcription factor motifs, such as BATF, JUN, and FOS Data provided in dbGaP for this study include: Bulk RNA-Seq data for 11 pre-treatment peripheral blood and 11 GD2 CAR-T product from 14 patients. ATAC sequencing of 22 peripheral blood samples and 5 GD2 CAR-T products from 14 patients.

• The Sea Islands Genetic Network (SIGNET): Identifying genetic contributors to diabetes and dyslipidemia in African Americans

  Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified genetic variants that influence diabetes risk in European populations, however most do not have a major impact on diabetes risk in populations of African descent. The African American (AA) population from the Sea Islands of coastal South Carolina and Georgia has high rates of type 2 diabetes, low levels of admixture, and in general, consume a diet rich in saturated fats. We postulate that this unique combination of ancestral and environmental factors results in a more consistent penetrance of diabetes risk alleles, as well as enrichment of risk alleles of African origin. The existing DNA samples and rich phenotypic data from the Sea Island Families Project comprise a unique resource for genetic studies of type 2 diabetes and related metabolic traits such as dyslipidemia. Our central hypothesis is that the increased risk for T2DM in AA compared with European American (EA) is due, in part, to susceptibility alleles of African origin, and that these alleles can be identified using a GWAS. The Specific Aims are to: 1) Identify genetic risk factors for type 2 diabetes utilizing DNA samples and data from the Sea Island Families Project, Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study recruited from SC, GA, NC, and AL; and a GWAS approach; 2) Identify genetic contributors to lipoprotein subclasses in African Americans using the lipoprotein subclass profile (particle size and concentration for multiple subclasses of VLDL, LDL, and HDL) assessed by NMR at LipoScience, Inc., and the GWAS data from Aim 1. The rationale for this project is that identification and validation of novel pathophysiological pathways and informed selection of candidate genes for diabetes risk will inform development of new, targeted prevention and treatment strategies in this underserved, high risk population.

• Comparison of 3 protocols for deriving pancreatic progenitors from hPSC with RNA-seq and ATAC-seq

  Several distinct differentiation protocols for deriving pancreatic progenitors (PP) from human pluripotent stem cells have been described but it remains to be shown how similar the PP are across protocols, and how well they resemble their in vivo counterparts. Here we evaluated three differentiation protocols; performed RNA and ATAC-seq on isolated PP derived with these, and compared them to fetal human pancreas populations. This enabled us to define a shared transcriptional and epigenomic signature of the PP, including several genes not previously implicated in pancreas development. Furthermore, we identified a significant and previously unappreciated cross-protocol variation of the PP through multi-omics analysis and demonstrate how such information can be applied to refine differentiation protocols for derivation of insulin-producing beta-like cells. Together, our study highlights the importance of a detailed characterization of defined cell populations derived from distinct differentiation protocols, and provides a valuable resource for exploring human pancreatic development.

• Identification of the Global miR-130a Targetome Reveals a Novel Role for TBL1XR1 in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Self-Renewal and t(8;21) AML

  In this study, we identified miR-130a as a regulator of HSC self-renewal and differentiation. To characterize gene expression changes following enforced expression of miR-130a OE, we performed RNA-seq in CD34+ cord blood (CB) cells transduced with control and miR-130a OE lentiviruses. To capture miRNA targets in an unbiased, transcriptome-wide manner, we perfomed enhanced CLIPseq procol in 2 replicates of CD34+ CB cells and Kasumi-1 cell line, which represent a model system for t(8;21) AML. We chose this cell line, as we found miR-130a to be highly expressed in this AML subtype where it is critical for maintaining the oncogenic molecular program mediated by AML1-ETO. Chimeric Ago2 eCLIPseq in CD34+ CB cells combined with Mass Spectrometry data analysis identified TBL1XR1 as a principal target of miR-130a. To elucidate gene expression changes associated with TBL1XR1 loss of function, we performed RNA-seq in CD34+CD38- CB cells transduced with control and shRNA targeted against TBL1XR1. To determine the functional significance of high miR-130a expression levels in Kasumi-1 cells on the molecular network controlled by AML1-ETO, we performed CUT&RUN assay and RNA-seq in Kasumi-1 cells following miR-130a knock-down (KD). Collectively, our findings reveal a unique role of miR-130a in regulating normal hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and how elevated levels of miR-130a in t(8;21) AML contribute to the leukemogenesis of this AML subtype.

• Single molecule genome-wide mutation profiles of cell-free DNA for non-invasive detection of cancer

  Somatic mutations are a hallmark of tumorigenesis and may be useful for non-invasive diagnosis of cancer. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data from 2,511 individuals in the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) study as well as 489 individuals from four prospective cohorts and found distinct regional and mutation type specific frequencies in tissue and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of cancer patients that were associated with replication timing and other chromatin features. A machine learning model using genome-wide mutational profiles combined with other features and followed by CT imaging detected >90% of lung cancer patients, including those with stage I and II disease. The fixed model was validated in an independent cohort, detected patients with cancer earlier than standard approaches, and could be used to monitor response to therapy. This approach lays the groundwork for non-invasive cancer detection using genome-wide mutation features that may facilitate cancer screening and monitoring.

• RNA Sequencing of Control and Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 Cells During Myogenic Differentiation

  To investigate gene expression dynamics during myogenic differentiation in myotonic dystrophy type 1, RNA was collected from immortalized control, patient-derived, and CRISPR/Cas9-corrected myoblasts at proliferation (day -2) and at days 1 and 5 of differentiation. High-quality RNA was isolated and sequenced using poly(A)-enriched or rRNA-depleted protocols, yielding 100 bp paired-end reads with high coverage. A subset of samples at day 1 underwent deeper sequencing to enhance transcriptome resolution.
