• Single-Cell Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of the Aging Human Brain

  We studied human brain aging using single-cell whole genome sequencing and single-nucleus RNA sequencing of the pre-frontal cortex from 19 donors ranging in age from 0.4 years to 104 years. All donors were free of neuropathology and none received a clinical neurological diagnosis prior to death. snRNA-seq libraries were prepared in batches that always included old and young donors to mitigate batch effects in the preparations. Neurons for single-cell WGS were collected from the same tissue region as the snRNA-seq for each donor but represent independent cells. Multiplexed error-robust fluorescent in-situ hybridization (MERFISH) data was also collected from pre-frontal cortex samples of a subset of the 19 donors. Transcriptomic results identified infant-specific cell clusters, and common-down regulation of cell-essential genes involved in ribosomes, transport, homeostasis and metabolism during aging, across all cell types. scWGS identified two-age associated mutational signatures, as well as gene-length and expression-level dependent somatic mutation rates in neurons. Raw sequencing data in fastq format for single-nucleus RNA-seq and single-cell DNA-seq, as well as cell and gene count matrix, transcript metadata, and cell metadata for MERFISH will be available in dbGaP.

• ATAC-seq: Acquired non-permissive bone marrow microenvironment impairs hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and maintenance and B-cell development post-HSCT

  Defects in B-cell reconstitution upon hematopoietic stem-cell (HSC) transplantation (HSCT) are a common observation, yet the mechanism remains unexplained. The bone marrow (BM) stroma, including mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), guides HSC maintenance and B-lymphopoiesis by secreting crucial cytokines. We report acquired, permanent, selective and complete B-cell deficiency in the context of full donor-chimerism in a patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease and aimed to identify the contribution of the BM-microenvironment in disrupted B-cell reconstitution post-HSCT. We studied longitudinal BM samples from the patient and his identical twin, both of whom underwent HSCT with the same donor with opposite outcomes in B-cell reconstitution. In the index patient BM, we observed progressive loss of proliferation of HSCs and a selective block at the pre-BI cell stage. In vitro modeling studies showed limited survival of patient-HSCs and a relative accumulation of pre-B cells. Patient-derived MSCs failed to support survival and proliferation of HSCs and B-cell development of healthy-HSCs which was correlated with reduced CXCL12 levels. Using bulk RNA-sequencing of MSCs and in vitro functional studies, we showed global changes in the patients’ MSCs and a progressive loss of CXCL12 expression. Indeed, survival of patients HSCs improved supplementing in vitro development culture with CXCL12, suggesting a contribution of defective CXCL12 signaling to the phenotype. In summary, our data show that an acquired defect in the BM-stromal microenvironment and exhaustion of HSCs and committed progenitors may cause a permanent non-permissive state for normal B-cell development.

• Chordoma_Sequencing_Project_Whole_Genome

  This is a continuation of the Chordoma Sequencing Project, prelim #G0175-122-CF. All cancers arise due to somatically acquired abnormalities in DNA sequence. Systematic sequencing of cancer genomes allows acquisition of complete catalogues of all classes of somatic mutation present in cancer. These mutation catalogues will allow identification of the somatically mutated cancer genes that are operative and characterise patterns of somatic mutation that may reflect previous exogenous and endogenous mutagenic exposures. In this application, we aim to perform whole genome sequencing on 10 chordoma matched genome pairs. The Chordoma Foundation will fund the RNA Sequencing/Methylation and SNP6 costs for this project while the whole genome and library sequencing will be covered under the CGP, 2012-2013 core WTSI internal funding. An additional sequencing of three cancer cell lines will be added to this work, financed by the Chordoma Foundation. In this project, the Chordoma foundation will pay for the additional costs of methylation, RNA Seq,

• Development of the prevention and therapy of CRC using patient derived culture tissues.

  Tumor tissues consist of functionally heterogeneous cells including those with high clonogenic potential called cancer stem cells (CSCs) which produce differentiated non-tumorigenic progenies. Transplantation assays have been performed to identify cell surface markers in solid tumors including colorectal cancers, which identified several CSC markers such as CD133 and CD44. In addition to the transplantation, the lineage tracing of genetically labelling cells in animal models of cancer qhas been employed to explore the cellular heterogeneity of tumors by identifying the CSCs and its progenies. This approach is particularly useful to investigate solid tumors, where cellular proliferation and differentiation are controlled by niche factors and cell-cell contact with adjacent cells. Lineage tracing of mouse model of cancer unravel the mode of growth of autochthonous tumor in their native environment. In this study, we used patient derived organoids (PDO) established from surgically resected CRC patients to identify the CSC. Single cell RNA-seq analysis identified potential CRC markers, which may exhibit self-renewal activity and produce progenitors

• Immunological hallmarks for clinical response to BCG in bladder cancer

  Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is an effective immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, recurrence and progression remain frequent warranting deeper insights into its mechanism. We herein comprehensively profiled blood and tissues obtained from NMIBC patients before, during and after BCG treatment using cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and RNA sequencing to identify the key immune subsets crucial for anti-tumour activity.

• Temporal Evolution Reveals Bifurcated Lineages in Aggressive Neuroendocrine Small Cell Prostate Cancer Trans-Differentiation

  Trans-differentiation from adenocarcinoma to small cell neuroendocrine (SCN) cancer is an adverse consequence of treatment escape in various cancers, including prostate, lung, and bladder cancers (Balanis and Sheu et al., PMID 31287989). Expression of dominant negative p53 (TP53DN), myrAkt1, RB1-shRNA, c-Myc, and Bcl2(PARCB forward transformation) using human naïve prostate basal epithelial cells recapitulated both transcriptional and histological characteristics of small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) (Park et al., PMID 30287662). To study the temporal transcriptional landscape during this trans-differentiation process, we conducted a time course study using a PARCB model by integrating multi-omics sequencing, including bulk RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing on samples taken at different time point, as well as single cell RNA sequencing on serial xenograft tumors. We found a common SCN pathway that resulted in two distinct end states defined by mutually exclusive expression of ASCL1 and ASCL2. Further investigation using CUT&RUN sequencing identified TFAP4 as a potential epigenetic regulator of both proteins. Our study reveals temporal and transcriptional changes from prostate adenocarcinoma to NEPC trans-differentiation.

• A standardised framework for robust fragmentomic feature extraction from cell-free DNA sequencing data

  Fragmentomic features of cell-free DNA represent promising non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. However, a lack of systematic evaluation of biases in feature quantification has hindered the adoption of such applications. We compared features derived from whole-genome sequencing of ten healthy donors using nine library kits and ten data-processing routes, and validated them in 1,182 plasma samples from published studies. Our results clarify the variations resulting from library preparation and feature quantification methods. We designed the Trim Align Pipeline and the cfDNAPro R package as unified interfaces for data pre-processing, feature extraction, and visualisation, aiming to standardise multimodal feature engineering and integration for machine learning.

• ZFHX4 is necessary for dopaminergic neuron differentiation and controls cell cycle by regulating LIN28A

  ZFHX4 as a transcription factor specifically induced during the in vitro differentiation of iPSC-derived mDANs. Depletion of ZFHX4 during neuronal differentiation led to a significant reduction in the number of mDANs while its overexpression did not lead to any changes in mDAN count. Identification of ZFHX4 target genes using CUT&Tag profiling and RNA-seq upon ZFHX4 knock-down (KD) revealed its involvement in cell cycle regulation during mDAN differentiation

• Stromal and dendritic cells from lymph nodes: single-cell RNA-seq

  Although cross-species transcriptional analysis has been generated for DCs, transcriptomic conservation between mouse and human FRCs at single-cell resolution has been unclear. To test whether GREM1+ FRCs might also play a role in DC homeostasis in humans, we performed scRNA-seq of CD45–PDPN+ stromal cells, as well as CD45+CD11c+ immune cells from healthy human LNs of three human donors. Data was generated using the 10x platform.

• Neutrophils and emergency granulopoiesis drive immune suppression and an extreme response endotype during sepsis

  This dataset contains raw sequencing files associated with the paper "Neutrophils and emergency granulopoiesis drive immune suppression and an extreme response endotype during sepsis" (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41590-023-01490-5). It is composed of two experiments, which are as follows: 1. Single-cell profiling of whole blood leukocytes: This experiment comprises sequencing files generated using the BD Rhapsody single-cell multi-omics profiling (RNA + protein) platform. This platform was used to profile the whole blood leukocyte population in a cohort of sepsis patients, cardiac surgery controls and healthy controls. There are 48 samples and four files per sample: two paired-end FASTQ files (R1 and R2) corresponding to the RNA-seq library, and two paired-end FASTQ files (R1 and R2) corresponding to the protein profiling (ADT-based AbSeq) library. 2. Single-cell profiling of circulating HSPCs: This experiment comprises sequencing files generated using the 10X single-cell multi-omics (RNA-seq + ATAC-seq) profiling platform. This platform was used to profile circulating HSPCs in a cohort of sepsis patients and healthy controls. There are 5 samples (or plexes), each of which consists of a pool of individuals for whom cells were multiplexed and sequenced as a single sample. There are four files per sample: two paired-end FASTQ files (R1 and R2) corresponding to the RNA-seq library, and two paired-end FASTQ files (R1 and R2) corresponding to the ATAC-seq library. Because these samples consists of multiplexed pools, index files are also provided. These can be used for sample deconvolution using the Cell Ranger pipeline. NOTE: Due to EGA's constrains in the number of files permitted per sample, index files (I1 and I2) for the HSPC data set are provided as a separate experiment named "FASTQ index files (I1 and I2) for deconvolution of 10X single-cell multiomics libraries".

• High-grade serous ovarian cancer refined with single-cell RNA-sequencing

  We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing of 18,403 cells unbiasedly collected from 7 treatment-naive HGSOC tumours. For each phenotypic cluster of tumour or stromal cells, we identified specific transcriptomic markers. Next, we explored which phenotypic clusters correlate with overall survival based on expression of these transcriptomic markers in 1467 bulk RNA-seq tumours. By evaluating molecular subtype signatures in single cells, we assessed to what extent a phenotypic cluster of tumour or stromal cells contributes to each molecular subtype.

• Translation of non-canonical open reading frames as a cancer cell survival mechanism in childhood medulloblastoma

  A hallmark of high-risk childhood medulloblastoma is the dysregulation of RNA translation. Currently, it is unknown whether medulloblastoma dysregulates the translation of putatively oncogenic non-canonical open reading frames. To address this question, we performed ribosome profiling of 32 medulloblastoma tissues and cell lines and observed widespread non-canonical ORF translation. We then developed a step-wise approach to employ multiple CRISPR-Cas9 screens to elucidate functional non-canonical ORFs implicated in medulloblastoma cell survival. We determined that multiple lncRNA-ORFs and upstream open reading frames (uORFs) exhibited selective functionality independent of the main coding sequence. One of these, ASNSD1-uORF or ASDURF, was upregulated, associated with the MYC family oncogenes, and was required for medulloblastoma cell survival through engagement with the prefoldin-like chaperone complex. Our findings underscore the fundamental importance of non-canonical ORF translation in medulloblastoma and provide a rationale to include these ORFs in future cancer genomics studies seeking to define new cancer targets.
