• Research on the identification of cancer stem cells for peidatric and adult malignancies.

  In recent years, "cancer stem cells" have been reported to exist in many cancers. Many reports have shown that they are the main cause of cancer recurrence. The aim of this study is to test whether cancer stem cells can be identified using patient samples. We will perform omics analysis of rare pediatric cancers by integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics, including somatic and germline mutations, to deepen our understanding of the biological characteristics of the target disease. Based on the knowledge gained and clinical information from patients, we will conduct preclinical pharmacological studies using mouse models and in vitro models to investigate the therapeutic effects of novel therapeutic agents and novel therapeutic strategies such as cellular therapies.

• Comprehensive molecular and clinicopathological profiling of lung adenocarcinoma in Japanese never or light smokers

  Studies have yet to characterize the differences in molecular profiles of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) among divergent ethnic groups. Herein, we conducted comprehensive molecular profiling of LUAD in never or light smokers from Asia in order to discover novel targetable mutations and prognostic biomarkers of this distinct disease entity. Methods: We analyzed 996 cases of Asian LUAD, and performed whole-exome sequencing and/or RNA-seq in 125 cases of Asian LUAD negative for the driver oncogenes defined by conventional laboratory testing. We also investigated the clinical and pathological characteristics among the 996 cases. Results: Driver oncogenes were identified in 88 cases (70.4%) with specific hotspot mutations differing from those in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) study. Clustering based on mRNA expression profiles, but not genetic mutational ones, could predict patient prognosis. The risk score generated by the expression of a three-gene set was a strong prognostic marker for overall survival and progression-free survival in our cohort, and was further validated using TCGA cohort. Among the 996 cases, each driver alteration is distributed across all histological subtypes. Adenocarcinoma in situ was identified to harbor driver mutations, suggesting that these alterations are early events in the pathogenesis of LUAD. This study indicates the value of applying gene expression profiling for predicting the prognosis after a surgical operation, and that the identification of actionable mutations is important for optimizing targeted drugs in Japanese LUAD.

• Paired RNA-Seq for Sarcoma tumors

  Paired RNA-Seq of 199 samples of Sarcoma tumors. The sequencing was done mostly on HiSeq 4000 with Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA, ist was also done on NovaSeq 6000 using the same kit. Very few samples were sequenced on HiSeq X Ten with Illumina TruSeq RNA or Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA.

• NIBIT-EPI-MESO study samples

  Multi-omics analysis of pre-immuno checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) therapy lesions from 91 pleural mesothelioma (PM) patients enrolled in the multicenter NIBIT-EPI-MESO study. Neoplastic lesions were characterized using multiple molecular platforms, including RNA sequencing (n=82), Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) (n=87), Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (RRBS) (n=83) and cell-free methylated immunoprecipitation sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq) (n=18). Tumor samples were collected during the standard diagnostic pleuroscopy or thoracoscopy before ICI therapy. Matched Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) were collected from PM patients before ICI therapy.

• Genomic Features of Lung Adenocarcinoma from Individuals with <= 10 Pack-Year Smoking History

  Actionable oncogenic alterations are identified in a subset of lung adenocarcinomas. Many of these driver alterations are enriched in lung adenocarcinomas from individuals with minimal smoking history and are generally mutually exclusive of one another. We generated whole-exome and RNA-seq data from lung adenocarcinomas obtained from individuals with &#8804;10 pack-year smoking history. Most of these tumors harbored an established oncogenic alteration. We identified a novel OCLN-RASGRF1 fusion from one tumor that lacked a known oncogenic driver. Functional studies demonstrated this fusion activates RAS signaling and promotes tumorigenesis in cell models.

• EWS-WT1 Fusion Isoforms Establish Oncogenic Programs and Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumors

  Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive mesenchymal tumor driven by fusions between the disordered domain of the Ewing sarcoma RNA binding protein 1 (EWSR1) and the developmental transcription factor Wilms tumor 1 (WT1). We used genome-wide chromatin profiling to identify EWSR1-WT1-dependent gene regulatory networks and target genes. Our studies show that EWS-WT1 is a powerful activator of distal regulatory elements and controls an oncogenic gene expression program that characterizes primary DSRCTs. ChIP-seq profiles for histone marks in primary DSRCT samples are available through dbGaP.

• Transcriptome profiling of prostate tissue samples from early onset prostate cancer patients and normal controls by RNA-seq

  The dataset contains RNA-seq data of 96 EOPC patients and 9 controls. For some patients multiple tissue samples were sequenced ("multi-area" samples). The RNA extraction and sequencing protocol was earlier described in Weischenfeldt et al, Cancer Cell, 2013.

• Tissue Sampling and Biorepository to improve Cancer Cell Therapy

  This study focuses on the elucidation of determinants of response and resistance to anti-CD19 CAR T-cells in large B-cell lymphoma. Plasma samples were collected prior to treatment and serially post CAR T-cell infusion. Pre-treatment and relapse tumor samples were also obtained as available. Germ-line DNA isolated from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) was collected for all patients when available. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor DNA were sequenced using a target hybrid capture oligonucleotide pool. RNA-Seq was also performed on tumor isolated RNA. The authors identified several recurrent genomic alterations associated with relapse, and identified molecular thresholds that were predictive of response.

• RNA-seq of hepatocellular carcinoma xenografts established from needle biopsies

  RNA-sequencing of human hepatocellular carcinoma biopsies (n=14), 44 HCC xenografts derived from 11 HCC biopsies and 3 lymphoma xenografts derived from 3 HCC biopsies. RNA-sequencing was performed using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Library Prep Kit with Ribo-Zero Gold (lllumina). SR126 sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 using v4 SBS chemistry according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
