• Precise reconstruction of the tumor microenvironment using bulk RNA-seq and a unique machine learning-based algorithm trained on artificial transcriptomes

  Cellular deconvolution algorithms virtually reconstruct tissue composition by analyzing the gene expression of complex tissues. Here, we present the decision tree machine learning algorithm, Kassandra, trained on a broad collection of > 9,400 tissue and blood sorted cell RNA profiles to accurately reconstruct the tumor microenvironment (TME). Bioinformatic correction for technical and biological variability, aberrant cancer cell expression inclusion, and the accurate quantification and normalization of transcript expression increased the stability and robustness of Kassandra. Performance was validated on over 4,000 H&E tissue slides and more than 1,000 normal and tumor tissues by comparison with cytometric, immunohistochemical or single-cell RNA-seq measurements. Kassandra accurately deconvolved stromal and immune elements of blood and tumors, revealing the role of the TME in tumor pathogenesis. Digital TME reconstruction revealed that the presence of PD1-positive CD8+ T cells strongly correlated with immunotherapy response and increased the predictive potential of established biomarkers, indicating that Kassandra could potentially be utilized in future clinical applications.

• miRNA-seq data for Molecular Characterization of ETMR

  This dataset contains miRNA-seq data from 10 patients. Small RNAs were isolated as described previously57,58 from fresh-frozen tumour material. In brief, total RNA was extracted using guanidinium isothiocyanate/phenol extraction followed by 3′-adaptor ligation of barcoded adenylated adaptors. Samples were pooled in two sets of five samples. Subsequently, gel electrophoresis was used to isolate small RNAs (19–35 nt) and purified using ethanol precipitation. Fragments were then amplified using standard PCR, isolated using gel electropho- resis and purified using ethanol precipitation. Samples were sequenced on a HiSeq 2000 v.4 machine resulting in 10 Fastq files.

• Whole Genome, RNA, and ChIP Sequencing of matched brain tumor-normal pairs (ICGC)

  Whole Genome Seq: Illumina HiSeq sequence data (with >30x coverage) were aligned to the hg19 human reference genome assembly using BWA (Li and Durbin, 2009);duplicate reads were removed from the final BAM file. No realignment or recalibration was performed. Paired-end RNA sequencing reads were mapped to the hg19 assembly of the human reference genome using BWA.Each ChIP-seq library was sequenced with two complete lanes on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 in the 101-bases paired-end rapid mode and aligned to hg19 using bwa.This resulted in the following coverage values (genome-wide, after deduplication, including all uniquely mapping reads):GBM103 macroH2A1: 17x H3K36me3: 20xMB59 macroH2A1: 11x H3K36me3: 11x

• The Role of E2F4 in Controlling Resistance to Irinotecan (CPT-11) in Human Colon Cancer

  This study reports the results of RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments performed on three isogenic clones of the human HT29 colon cancer cell line, genetically engineered to achieve the selective inactivation of the adenovirus early 2 (E2) gene transcription factor 4 (E2F4) protein, a key functional component of the multimeric transcriptional repression complex known as the dimerization partner (DP), retinoblastoma-like (RB-like), E2F and multi-vulva class B (MuvB) complex (DREAM). In previous studies, we identified E2F4 as a key regulator of colorectal cancer (CRC) resistance to irinotecan (CPT-11), a cytotoxic agent that stands at the backbone of multiple chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of metastatic CRCs. The molecular mechanisms linking E2F4 to irinotecan resistance, however, remain poorly understood. The present study was designed to identify which genes are under the transcriptional control of E2F4, either at baseline or following exposure to SN38 (i.e., the active metabolite of irinotecan, generated in vivo by biotransformation in the liver) in order to clarify the role played by E2F4 in shaping colon cancer resistance to chemotherapy. The cell line used for this study (HT29) is aneuploid and contains three copies of the E2F4 gene, because of a trisomy of chromosome 16, where the E2F4 gene is located (Kawai et al., Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer, 34:1-8, 2002; PMID: 11921276). HT29 cells were infected with lentivirus vectors encoding for CRISPR/Cas9 constructs designed to selectively inactivate the E2F4 gene, using three distinct guide-RNAs (gRNAs), each targeting a different sequence within the proximal exons of the E2F4 gene (exon 1, exon 2). Lentivirus-infected cells were sub-cloned by single-cell fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), based on the differential expression of a fluorescent reporter (EGFP) expressed in tandem with the gRNAs. Isogenic clones (EGFP+) were then screened to identify those with a tri-allelic knock-out, as revealed by both genetic sequencing of the E2F4 gene (revealing the presence of three distinct frameshift mutations) and Western blot (revealing complete loss of E2F4 protein expression). The study includes twelve (n=12) RNA-seq experiments, representative of 3 experimental replicates (i.e., three distinct isogenic clones of the HT29 cell line, each displaying complete loss of E2F4 expression) and 3 negative controls (i.e., three independent preparations of the parent HT29 cell line, infected with a lentivirus vector encoding for a non-targeting gRNA) exposed to 2 distinct in vitro cell culture conditions: a) treatment with SN38 resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); or b) treatment with DMSO alone (negative control). The in vitro treatment regimen used for SN38 (32 nM, 24 hours) was designed so that the exposure to SN38 experienced in vitro by HT29 cells would mirror the exposure to SN38 experienced in vivo by malignant tissues, as measured, for example, in metastatic CRC patients receiving a standard dose of irinotecan (180 mg/m2) administered by intravenous infusion over 90 minutes (Deyme et al., Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology, 88:247-258, 2021; PMID: 33912999).

• RNA sequencing in primary inflammatory (TPP) macrophages treated with a MEK1/2 inhibitor

  This dataset comprises raw RNA sequencing from inflammatory (TPP) macrophages that were treated with the MEK inhibitor PD-0325901 (100nM or 500nM) or vehicle control (n=3 donors). MEK inhibitor or vehicle control was added on day 4 and cells were harvested on day 6 and lysed. RNA was extracted from cell lysates using an AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen). Sequencing libraries were prepared from 10ng RNA using the SMARTer Stranded Total RNA-Seq Kit v2 - Pico Input Mammalian (Takara) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The quality and molarity of all libraries was assessed using a BioAnalyzer 2100 and the libraries were sequenced on a NextSeq500. Raw data are provided as 50 bp paired-end Illumina reads.

• ProstOmics: spatial and bulk multi-omics of prostate cancer

  In this ERC-funded ProstOmics project we have used spatial and bulk multi-omics on fresh frozen prostate cancer samples to investigate cancer biology and find for biomarkers to improve patient treatment. All tissue material were collected from prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy who had not received any prior cancer-specific treatment.Of the 498 prostate tissue samples (114 patients) included in our project, 176 samples (N=37 patients) have been analyzed with bulk transcriptomics (RNA-seq). Some of these 176 samples were also analyzed with spatial transcriptomics (n=32, N=8, Visium 10x RNA-seq) and DNA methylomics (n=96, N=24, array). All datasets include metadata for histopathological evaluation. Patient metadata include information of age at surgery, time (months) until reported relapse, pre-surgery PSA and post-surgery T-stage.

• QSEA – modelling of genome-wide DNA methylation from sequencing enrichment experiments

  We describe a new method, QSEA, for analyzing methylation enrichment data. We generated a benchmark experiment consisting of MeDIP-seq enrichment data, targeted BS-seq validation data, and RNA-seq data on five pairs of tumor and adjacent normal samples of non-small cell lung cancer patients. Details of the method and its performance on the data have been described in Lienhard et al. (2016).
