• Adipose Tissue Omics In Obesity

  This project used a multi-omics approach to study the adipose tissue transcriptome in humans with and without obesity. Our human cohort included males and females between the ages of 18-80 who underwent elective abdominal surgery at the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.Patients with advanced cancer or immuncompromised status were excluded. Visceral adipose tissue (VAT/omental) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT/abdominal wall) were collected from subjects with obesity (BMI>=35) at the beginning of elective surgical procedures, placed on ice, and transported back to the laboratory for immediate processing. For adipose tissue stromal cells (ASC) isolation, adipose tissue was digested with Type II collagenase (2 mg/mL in PBS/2% BSA) at 37oC, 60min, centrifuged at 250 rcf, and the stromal-vascular cell pellet was retrieved, plated overnight, and the adherent cells passaged three times to enrich for ASC, which were then frozen in DMEM/F12, 15% fetal calf serum, and 10% DMSO in liquid nitrogen until use. Single nuclear sequencing was performed on preparations from intact adipose tissue. Bulk RNA sequencing and single cell sequencing were performed on ASC isolated from intact adipose tissue and cultured in 2D and 3D culture systems. We currently apply bulk, single cell, and single nuclear sequencing analyses to these tissues. One component of this project studies single nuclear sequencing in nuclei isolated from intact adipose tissues from human subjects with obesity, focusing on depot comparisons (VAT vs. SAT). This cohort also permits comparisons of adipose tissue transcriptomes between male and female subjects, controlling for age and BMI. Primary findings to date include identification of multiple ASC, adipocyte, and endothelial cell (EC) subpopulations, T-cell, and macrophage (MAC) populations that are in concordance with and expand upon other published datasets. Of two dominant ASC subpopulations, one (inflammatory-mesothelial, IM- ASC) is present in VAT, but absent in SAT, while the other (fibroadipogenic, FA-ASC) is present in both VAT and SAT. We identified multiple EC subtypes with features of lymphatic, venous, and arterial EC, and a PRDM16 expressing population with features of an EC progenitor. Immune cell populations match recent experimental validation of lipid-activated macrophage (LAM) phenotypes, TIM4 macrophages, and a prominent population of MRC1/CD206+ resident AT macrophages with expression signatures related to glucocorticoid activation. These data support depot-specific differences in ASC subpopulations and previously unrecognized EC heterogeneity within human AT, with the potential to shed light on functional differences in AT depot and disease state. Planned future studies include ATAC-Seq and other omics analyses. Another component of this project studies transcriptional responses of ASC in vitro to various stimuli, including different matrix environments. Current data includes bulk RNA Sequencing of human ASC from VAT and SAT differentiated into mature adipocytes in hydrogels of differing stiffness (3%, 5%, 10%) to define transcriptional responses to matrix environments of different stiffness. Primary findings to date include enrichment of adipogenesis and lipid and oxidative metabolic gene pathways in adipocytes in 5% relative to 3% hydrogels, while fibrotic gene pathways have been enriched in 3% hydrogels. These data demonstrate that intermediate density matrix promotes a more adipogenic, less fibrotic adipocyte phenotype geared towards increased lipid and aerobic metabolism. Planned future studies include expansion of intact tissues from our cohort studied with single nuclear sequencing, as well as further study of ASC responses in vitro to different biologic stimuli, including different matrix environments.

• Multi-Omic Profiling of Glioma Patient Tumors and Patient-Derived Model Systems

  We have created a resource of transcriptomic (RNAseq), genomic (whole-exome seq), and lipidomic (untargeted shotgun) profiling data from over 175 molecularly diverse glioma tumors and derivative models in orthotopic mouse xenografts and gliomasphere cultures from over 110 unique patient tumor lines. Provided in this dataset are matched bulk RNA and whole-exome paired-end sequencing data from resected gliomas and derived model systems performed on Illumina HiSeq and NovaSeq sequencing instruments. This comprehensive dataset powers multiple studies aiming to derive molecular signatures of intertumoral heterogeneity and perturbation responses in glioma. Through integrative multi-omic analyses in Minami, et al., 2023, PMID: 37236196, we identified that CDKN2A deletion remodels the GBM lipidome and consequently primes CDKN2A-deleted tumors for ferroptosis. Lipidomics data related to this study are publicly available here. In another study, we used a combination of molecular profiling and functional profiling of apoptotic potential to stratify patients into groups with differential vulnerability to the current standard-of-care in gliomas, and in combination with drugs targeting intrinsic apoptosis, largely informed but not limited to TP53 mutation status.

• SMARCB1 loss activates patient-specific distal oncogenic enhancers in malignant rhabdoid tumors

  Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) is a highly malignant and often lethal childhood cancer. MRTs are genetically defined by bi-allelic inactivating mutations in SMARCB1, a member of the BRG1/BRM-associated factors (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex. Mutations in BAF complex members are common in human cancer, yet their contribution to tumorigenesis remains in many cases poorly understood. Here, we studied derailed regulatory landscapes as a consequence of SMARCB1 loss in the context of MRT. Our multi-omics approach on patient-derived MRT organoids revealed a dramatic reshaping of the regulatory landscape upon SMARCB1 reconstitution. Chromosome conformation capture experiments subsequently revealed patient-specific looping of distal enhancer regions with the promoter of the MYC oncogene. This intertumoral heterogeneity in MYC enhancer utilization is also present in patient MRT tissues as shown by combined single-cell RNA-seq and ATAC-seq. We show that loss of SMARCB1 drives patient-specific epigenetic reprogramming underlying MRT tumorigenesis.

• Proteogenomic Characterization Unveils Biomarkers Associated With Chemoresistance in Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer

  Cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) combined with radical cystectomy has been used as a standard of care for patients with clinically non-metastatic muscle invasive urothelial bladder cancer, but 40-50% patients will benefit from the treatment. Molecular subtypes of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) provide a possible biomarker roadmap that may help identify patients who may or may not respond to NAC. Recently, by integrating Mass Spectrometry-based proteomics, proteogenomic studies from the Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium (CPTAC) have demonstrated the potential of this approach in prioritizing candidate driver genes and facilitating understanding of the chemotherapy resistance mechanisms. To demonstrate the proteogenomic workflow for investigating the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy resistance in MIBC, we conducted proteogenomic characterization of 46 pre- and 14 post- treatment tumors, including whole exome sequencing (WES), mRNA sequencing, Tandem Mass Tag (TMT)-proteomics, or TMT-phosphoproteomic. These samples were selected from an initial cohort of 143 MIBC tissues and filtered by tumor purity, clinical history, pathological response, and proteomic quality control metrics. The final cohort comprised samples from 53 patients, including 45 with both genomic and proteomic data and 8 with genomic data only.Our multi-omics-based clustering reveals subtypes associated with chemotherapy sensitivity. Protein abundance of a short isoform of ATAD1 and RAF family proteins were identified as biomarkers of chemosensitivity which highlights the importance of proteomics data. Integration of proteomic and phosphoproteomic data reveals Wnt signaling via GSK3B-S9 phosphorylation and the JAK/STAT pathway as potential targets to overcome chemoresistance. Correlations between PD-L1 and TROP-2/NECTIN-4 indicate an additive benefit of combination therapy targeting these proteins. Our data analysis clearly demonstrates that proteogenomic plays an important role in uncovering potential resistance mechanisms that operate only at protein and Post-Translational Modification (PTM) levels. Proteomics data can be accessed through PRIDE with ID PXD060290. RNA-seq and whole-exome sequencing (WES) FASTQ files are archived in the dbGaP database.

• Summary statistics of meta-analysis using two genome-wide association study of inflammatory bowel disease in Koreans.

  Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract, is thought to develop due to dysregulated mucosal immune responses to gut flora in genetically susceptible individuals. Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two major subtypes of IBD. To identify additional susceptibility loci for IBD in Asians, we performed meta-analyses using two genome-wide association studies.

• Longitudinal single-cell transcriptomic study in patient-derived xenografts of pediatric T-ALL

  In this study, we conducted single cell full length total RNA sequencing (VASA-seq) on 13 matched pediatric T-ALL PDX samples at initial diagnosis and relapse, along with 5 non-relapsing PDX samples collected at initial diagnosis. We identified a subpopulation of T-ALL cells with stem-like cell features that expands substantially at relapse indicating resistance to first-line therapy. Chemotherapy resistance was further validated through functional testing: Two samples were subjected to in-vitro drug testing, treated with Cytarabine for three days, followed by single-cell transcriptomic analysis using 10x Genomics. Additionally, in-vivo drug testing was conducted on one sample, involving re-engraftment into mice and treatment with a combination of Vincristine, Doxorubicin, and Dexamethasone. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis using 10x Genomics was performed after 0, 15 and 30 days of treatment.

• Transcriptome Sequencing PPGL

  RNA library preparation of samples with RNA Integrity Number (RIN) > 5.5 (median 7.1; range 5.6-8.9) was performed as described in the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit (Illumina, RS-122-2101). Briefly, 0.7-1 µg total RNA PolyA+ fraction was purified and randomly fragmented, converted to double stranded cDNA and processed through subsequent enzymatic treatments of end-repair, dA-tailing, and ligation to adapters. Adapter-ligated library was completed by PCR with Illumina PE primers. The resulting purified cDNA library was applied to an Illumina flow cell for cluster generation and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 on a 51bp single-read format following manufacturer's protocols. cDNA libraries from FFPE tumors and low integrity RNA’s (RIN<5.5) from FF tumors (median 2.4; range 1-5.5) but % of fragments > 200 nucleotides higher than 20% (median 57.5; range 20-96) were prepared using QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq Library Prep Kit FWD for Illumina (Lexogen, 015) with a UMI Second Strand Synthesis Module for QuantSeq FWD (Lexogen, 081), vendor’s protocol for low input/ low quality/ FFPE RNA using 200-500 ng of total RNA, according to availability, was used as starting material. PCR Add-on Kit for Illumina (Lexogen, 020) was used to adjust the library amplification number of cycles. Libraries were applied to an Illumina flow cell for cluster generation and sequenced on NovaSeq6000. Image analysis, per-cycle basecalling and quality score assignment was performed with Illumina Real Time Analysis software. Demultiplexing of BCL files to FASTQ format was performed with the bcl2fastq Software (Illumina).

• MP2PRT: Genomic and Molecular Characterization of Biomarkers Associated with Tumor Angiogenesis, DNA Repair, and Immunologic Tolerance using Samples from the NRG Oncology Phase 3 Randomized Trial, GOG-0240 (NCT00803062)

  The Molecular Profiling to Predict Response to Treatment (MP2PRT) program is part of the NCI's Cancer Moonshot Initiative. The aim of this program is the retrospective characterization and analysis of biospecimens collected from completed NCI-sponsored trials of the National Clinical Trials Network and the NCI Community Oncology Research Program. This study is one of the selected studies under this program. For this study, genomic characterization (WGS, WXS, Total RNAseq, miRNAseq) has been performed on cervical tumor tissue from patients with advanced disease (persistent, recurrent, and metastatic) and matching germline samples. It is hypothesized that the characterization of these tissues using next generation sequencing will lead to the identification of relevant novel genetic aberrations within the immunologic, DNA repair, and tumor angiogenesis domains that dichotomize the study population into exceptional responders and non-responders to systemic therapy, with a spectrum of response manifesting between the two extremes.

• Genomic Analysis of Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma

  Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a very rare and distinct subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma that occurs in the previously healthy livers of adolescents and young adults. The low incidence rate has kept FL-HCC an understudied cancer, thus the list of FL-HCC markers is limited and the genetic alterations driving its growth have remained unknown. In order to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying FL-HCC initiation and progression, we performed an in-depth genomic analyses of one tumor followed by immunohistochemistry validation on seven other tumors. We showed the expression of neuroendocrine markers in FL-HCC. In addition, DNA/RNA sequencing revealed that common cancer pathways are not visibly altered in FL-HCC but identified two novel structural variants, both resulting in fusion transcripts. Through in vitro studies, we demonstrated the oncogenic properties of these fusion transcripts. These experiments further highlight the tumorigenic role of gene fusions in the etiology of pediatric solid tumors and identify both candidate biomarkers and possible therapeutic targets for this lethal pediatric disease.

• Transcriptomic analysis of the NA-PHER2 clinical trial

  We performed whole transcriptome RNA sequencing on serial tumour biopsies collected at baseline, Day 14, and after completion of all neoadjuvant therapy from the NA-PHER2 trial. Patients received neoadjuvant treatment with the combined regimen of trastuzumab, pertuzumab, palbociclib with or without addition of fulvestrant. Transcriptomic profiles were generated from 143 samples (Baseline n = 53, Day 14 n = 49, Surgery n = 41) corresponding to 53 of the 58 patients enrolled in NA-PHER2 trial (91.4%). RNA sequencing was performed on total RNA samples derived from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections. RNA-Seq libraries were produced using NEBNext® Ultra™ II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit. The capture was then performed on cDNA libraries with the Twist Human Core Exome Enrichment System according to supplier recommendations (Twist Bioscience). The obtained eluted-enriched DNA samples was then sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq as paired-end 100bp reads. FASTQ files are provided.
