• The PEMDAC phase 2 study of pembrolizumab and entinostat in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma

  Patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (UM) have an abysmal prognosis. Preclinical studies have suggested that epigenetic therapy could enhance immunogenicity of cancer cells. Here we test if epigenetic therapy would enhance PD-1 immunotherapy in patients with metastatic UM. We report the results of the PEMDAC phase 2 clinical trial (n=29; NCT02697630) where the HDAC inhibitor entinostat was combined with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic UM. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR), and was met with an ORR of 14%. The clinical benefit rate at 18 weeks was 28%, median progression free survival was 2.1 months and the median overall survival was 13.4 months. Toxicities were manageable, and there were no treatment-related deaths. Extensive genomics studies were performed using DNA/RNA and single cell sequencing and flow cytometry. Objective responses and prolonged survival were seen in three patients with BAP1 wildtype tumors, and in one patient with an iris melanoma that exhibited a UV signature. Longer survival also correlated with low baseline ctDNA levels or LDH. In conclusion, HDAC inhibition and anti-PD1 immunotherapy results in durable responses in a subset of patients with metastatic UM. Further exploration of combined immunotherapy and epigenetic therapy in metastatic UM is warranted.

• Nasal MicroRNA during Bronchiolitis and Age 6y Asthma: MARC-35 Cohort

  We analyzed data from the 35th Multicenter Airway Research Collaboration (MARC-35) study to examine the relationship between nasal airway microRNAs (miRNAs) and the risk of developing childhood asthma. MARC-35 is a multicenter prospective cohort study which enrolled infants (age Structured interviews of the parents/guardians were performed by site investigators and clinical details were collected via emergency department and hospital inpatient chart reviews. Following the index hospitalization, trained study personnel conducted telephone interviews with parents/legal guardians at six-month intervals. Participants also underwent nasal swab sampling conducted by trained site personnel during the index bronchiolitis hospitalization and during an in-person follow-up examination at about age 6 years. Total RNA was extracted from nasal swab specimens using Trizol LS reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and the Direct-zol RNA Miniprep Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). Small RNA-seq was performed using the PerkinElmer NEXTFLEX® small RNA-seq v3 kit with Unique Dual Indexes (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) and sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 sequencer using an S2 50bp PE Flowcell (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Through dbGaP, limited de-identified phenotypic data (e.g., demographics) and RNA-seq FASTQ files will be made available. Among a cohort of infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis, we applied a small RNA sequencing approach and found miRNAs were associated with asthma risk factors, and highly expressed in lung tissue and immune cells (e.g., TH cells, neutrophils). They also played key roles in mechanisms relating to asthma, such as innate immunity, airway remodeling, and IgE regulation.

• 104 CRLM patients RNA-seq

  This dataset consists of RNA-seq data from 104 CRLM patients. Reads were mapped to the GRCh37 genome version using STAR. The data include patients with no treatment, as well as those treated with FOLFOX, FOLFOX-bevacizumab, atezolizumab, and FOLFOX-bevacizumab-atezolizumab.

• Single cell RNA-seq CD8 T cells from elder adults

  Single cell RNA-seq profiling of ~62k purified CD8+ T cell transcriptomes, from six healthy older adult donors using 10X genomics. Cells from each donor were separated based on their IL-7R protein expression (i.e. CD8+ IL7R+ and CD8+ IL7R- T cells).

• RNA-seq of 27 FFPE prostate samples (tumour only) to identify gene fusions

  RNA-Seq was performed on radical prostatectomy formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sample pairs (n = 27). Library prep was done by removal of rRNA and sequenced as 75bp paired end on Illumina NextSeq 500. Sequences were aligned to the human genome (hg38) using STAR-Fusion.

• RNA sequencing of genetically modified human iPSCs modeling patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)

  We generated two genetically modified iPSC lines. In each line, a single promoter variant identified in a patient with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was introduced by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. These mutant lines were analyzed by RNA-seq together with control lines to assess the impact of the introduced variant.

• An Advanced Molecular Medicine Case Report of a Rare Human Tumor Using Genomics, Pathomics, and Radiomics

  The associated data of this study is derived from a single female patient with pulmonary sclerosing pneumocytoma (PSP). The aim of this study is to provide the most comprehensive, multi-modality sequencing study of a single case of PSP to-date. To this end, the following sequencing experiments were performed: i) RNA-Seq of the primary tumor and adjacent normal tissues (6 replicates for each tissue type), which was intended to analyze RNA-Seq fusions, gene expression, expression mutations, ii) low-pass DNA whole genome sequencing (WGS) from primary tumor tissue and germline, which was intended to analyze copy number aberrations, and iii) DNA targeted panel sequencing of lung cancer associated genes, using primary tumor tissue and germline from white blood cells, which was intended to analyze somatic mutations. Principal findings: i) the PSP hallmark mutation AKT1 (p.E17K) was detected within both the DNA and RNA, and ii) the TP53 signaling pathway was found to be statistically significant by three different pathway analysis tools of analyzing gene expression and pathway ramifications. Among proteins within the TP53 signaling pathway, the p53 inhibitor encoded by MDM2 was found to be overexpressed (by differential gene expression analysis). The original sequencing data (i.e., FastQ files) from each of the aforementioned samples will be accessible through dbGaP.

A total of 106 breast cancer samples, from Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer (PABC) (n=57) and non-PABC (n=49) patients, were analysed using the nCounter Breast Cancer 360 V2 panel on the NanoString platform. All samples were FFPE tumor samples from breast cancer patients, derived from GEICAM/2012-03, GEICAM/2017-07, and EpiGEICAM studies, sponsored by GEICAM.
