• Genetic Markers of Lipids in Indians: A Validation Study of Most Relevant Findings of Genome-Wide Association Studies

  We aimed to validate the GWAS loci (identified in European populations) related to serum lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C)) in the Indian population originally recruited to examine the 20-year trend of cardiometabolic risk factors in rural and urban areas around National Capital region in India. Isolated DNA was processed for genotyping of 12 established GWAS variants using multiplex Sequenom Mass ARRAY technology. We examined the association of these genetic variants with different lipid levels and found association of eight variants for lipid levels. We also derived weighted genetic risk scores (wGRAS) using the validated variants. The wGRS for triglycerides and VLDL-C was derived based on four associated variants (rs174546 at FADS1, rs17482753 at LPL, rs2293889 at TRPS1, rs4148005 at ABCA8, rs4420638 at APOC1) which was associated with 36.31 mg/dL elevated triglycerides and VLDL-C (β=0.95, SE=0.16, pTRPS1 and rs4147536 at ADH1B) was associated with 40.62 mg/dL higher total cholesterol (β=1.01, SE=0.23, pTRPS1, rs4147536 at ADH1B, rs4420638 at APOC1 and rs660240 at CELSR2). The wGRS derived from five associated variants (rs174546 and FADS1, rs17482753 at LPL, rs4148005 at ABCA8, rs4420638 at APOC1 and rs7832643 at PLEC) was associated with 10.64 mg/dL lower HDL-C (β= -0.87, SE =0.14, pThe phenotypic and genotypic data will be made available on the dbGaP portal for access.

• Study on the proliferation history of colorectal adenomas

  Mismatch repair (MMR) deficient colorectal adenomas are composed of transformed cells that descend from a common founder and progressively accumulate genomic alterations but their proliferation history is still largely unknown. Here we rebuilt the proliferation history of four MMR deficient colorectal adenomas from male individuals by deep sequencing the X chromosome and mapping the somatic mutations that were progressively acquired during tumor growth. We developed a novel method to call high and low frequency mutations, to cluster them according to their frequencies and rebuild the proliferation trees directly from these mutation clusters using a recursive algorithm. The trees of all four lesions were formed of a dominant subclone that coexisted with other genetically heterogeneous subpopulations of cells. Despite this similar hierarchical organization, however, the growth dynamics varied among and within tumors, likely depending on a combination of tumor-specific genetic and environmental factors. Our study provides insights into the biological properties of individual MMR deficient colorectal adenomas that may influence their growth and also the response to therapy. Extended to other solid tumors, our approach could inform on the mechanisms of cancer progression, thus providing insight into the best choice of cancer treatment methods.

• Induced Pluripotent Cells Derived from Differentiated Rod Photoreceptors Undergo Efficient Retinogenesis in Three-Dimensional Cultures

  "Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are used to study lineage-specific differentiation in culture. We developed a standardized quantitative protocol called STEM-RET to compare eye field specification, optic cup formation, and retinal differentiation across stem cell populations. We reprogrammed individual rod photoreceptors into iPSCs by inducible expression of Oct3/4, Klf4, Sox2, and Myc. We also developed ESC lines from rods by somatic cell nuclear transfer. Using the STEM-RET protocol, we compared the abilities of ESCs, fibroblast-derived iPSCs (f-iPSCs), rod photoreceptor-derived iPSCs (r-iPSCs), and rod photoreceptorderived ESCs to form retinae using STEM-RET. r-iPSCs were the most efficient at producing differentiated retina. Retinae derived from f-iPSCs lacked an inner nuclear layer (INL) and had a concomitant reduction in amacrine cells and other INL cell populations. The INL-specific LIM homeobox gene, Lhx9, was hypermethylated in fiPSCs and concomitantly downregulated in retinae derived from those stem cells. ChIP-seq analysis for H3K36me3, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9/14Ac, H3K27me3, H3K9me3, CTCF and 5 hydroxymethyl cytosine showed that the major difference between the r-iPSCs and the f-iPSCs were in the genes marked by the CTCF insulator protein. Importantly, CTCF binding enrichment at rod photoreceptor specific genes was at least 10-fold higher in r-iPSCs relative to f-iPSCs. Taken together, our data suggest that both inhibitory and permissive epigenetic marks important for retinal development can be retained in iPSCs and such marks can be exploited to select the most favorable stem cell population to study retinal development or produce photoreceptor precursors for cell transplantation."

• A Multi-Omic Single-Cell Atlas of Human Gynecological Malignancies

  Matched single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scATAC-seq) were performed for 11 fresh human tumors collected from the endometrium or ovary. More detailed information for each patient tumor will be provided in selected phenotype/attributes data. Both scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq assays revealed the underlying cellular heterogeneity in transcriptional output and in chromatin accessibility for each patient tumor specimen. In this work, we identified potential non-coding regulatory elements that mediate cell type-specific gene expression patterns. These data will serve as an important reference for the single-cell genomics and gynecologic oncology research communities.

• DEPArray-based sorting of pure carcinoma and stromal populations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues followed by targeted sequencing

  To overcome the challenges of low DNA yields, degraded DNA by formalin fixation and diluted signal of genomic aberrations by non-carcinoma components in the heterogeneous FFPE samples, we isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cells using the DEPArray™ NxT system, a microchip-based digital sorter that allows isolation of pure, homogeneous subpopulations of cells from FFPE samples. We isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cell populations from 12 FFPE tissues, including tissues from 9 primary and metastatic breast cancer and 3 primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas. This was followed by a targeted panel for somatic mutation and sCNA analysis (7 samples), subject to cell availability. Mutation analysis was performed successfully in 6/7 samples and somatic mutations were detected in all of them.

• Whole-genome sequencing of bladder cancers of various stages and grades to search for driver mutations, chromosome-scale somatic changes, mutation signatures and clonal structures.

  This discovery set of tumours cancers with whole-genome sequence data comprised 14 bladder cancers, paired with peripheral blood, that had been collected from unrelated individuals presenting to the Urology Department, Royal Hallamshire Hospital, Sheffield between June 2008 and September 2011. Four cancers were of low-grade papillary morphology (pTaG1-2), five were high grade invading the lamina propria (pT1G3, with two subsequently becoming muscle-invasive); and five were muscle-invasive (pT2-pT3). All tumours were sampled at transurethral resection or cystectomy and had not previously received any other therapy. The presence of a majority of cancer cells in the tumour specimens was confirmed by routine histological assessment. Genomic DNA was extracted from each tumour and paired blood sample using standard methods.
