• Cell Type-Specific and Disease-Associated eQTL in the Human Lung

  This study was conducted to investigate the genetic control of gene expression in a cell-type and context-specific manner in the human lung. We performed single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) of lung tissue from 66 Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) cases and 48 unaffected donors. Employing a pseudo-bulk approach, we mapped expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) across 38 cell types. The scRNA-seq data presented here include previously published (PMID 34262047) and unpublished samples. ILD tissue samples were obtained from lungs removed at the time of lung transplantation at either Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) or the Norton Thoracic Institute (NTI). Control tissue samples were obtained from lungs declined for organ donation either at the Donor Network of Arizona (DNA) or VUMC. The self-reported ethnicities of donors were 66.7% European, 9.6% African American, 17.5% not available (N/A), and 6.1% other. The smoking history includes 46.5% ever smoker, 29.8% never smoker, 23.7% N/A. For genotyping, flash-frozen tissue in DNA/RNA shield was homogenized via a bullet blender. Genomic DNA was extracted using Zymo Quick DNA/RNA microprep plus kit. Library preparation and low-pass Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) were carried out at TGen or by Gencove Inc. At TGen, libraries were prepared using PCR-free Watchmaker kits (Watchmaker Genomics) with 200 ng input. Genomes were sequenced on NovaSeq at low coverage (typically 0.4–1x). The resulting sequence data were processed and imputed using Gencove's imputation platform.

• Targeted Long-Read Sequencing of the Ewing Sarcoma 6p25.1 Susceptibility Locus

  Ewing Sarcoma (EwS) is rare but the second most common cancer in children, adolescents and young adults. Recent studies suggest germline variation in or around GGAA microsatellites may interact with fusion oncoprotein binding causing changes in binding affinity and potentially impacting enhancer activity on nearby target genes. This study aims to better understand germline variation around EwS susceptibility regions by performing long-range haplotype sequencing of these regions using PacBio sequencing. Our analysis focused on characterizing variation in GGAA microsatellite length as well as germline variants in or around the microsatellite and their association with EwS risk.

• Space Associated Stem Cell Hallmarks of Aging in Astronauts

  This study examined the effects of the stress of space, specifically low earth orbit, on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) that maintain lifelong hematopoiesis and immune responses. Enriched CD34+ HSPCs were derived from 7 astronauts before, during and after 10 and 21-day ISS missions on the International Space Station. The samples were used as input to whole transcriptome sequencing by bulk RNA-Seq performed at The Scripps Research Institute Next Generation Sequencing Core on Illumina NextSeq 2000 sequencer and single cell RNA-Seq performed at The Salk Institute for Biological Studies on Illumina NovaSeq X Plus sequencer. Subsequent expression, RNA editing, and retrotransposon analyses were performed to assess HSPC and immune subpopulation survival dynamics. Overall, these analyses revealed space-associated stem cell hallmarks of aging (SASHA), including spaceflight dependent alterations in HSPC survival and self-renewal, ADAR1, telomere maintenance, mobilization and cell cycle gene expression, combined with space-induced clonal hematopoietic mutations, APOBEC3C activation and retrotransposon deregulation to warrant countermeasure development to enable long-duration spaceflight. Post-spaceflight analysis revealed increased C-to-T and clonal hematopoiesis-associated mutations, repetitive element and base deaminase deregulation, decreased telomere maintenance gene expression, and decreased self-renewal capacity compared to ground controls. These results demonstrate the space-associated aging effects in HSPCs after month-long exposure to LEO, providing insights into utilizing the LEO environment to model space-accelerated aging and other age-related malignancies.

• Ribosomal Depleted Total RNA-Seq of PBMCs and Skin from Controls and Systemic Sclerosis Patients

  This study involved prospective collection of skin biopsies and peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples from controls with no self-reported history of autoimmune or inflammatory disease and cases with Rheumatologist-confirmed systemic sclerosis: limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc), diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc), very early diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (VEDOSS), and systemic sclerosis sine scleroderma (SSS). Some SSc cases were sampled at a 6 month routine follow-up visit. PBMCs were collected and lysed immediately. Skin punches were stabilized in RNAlater until extraction. All RNA-Seq libraries were created using Takara/Clontech ribosomal depletion kits, and sequenced on either a HiSeq2500 or HiSeq3000.

• Reference Profiles of ExRNAs in Normal Human Pregnancy

  In this study, we did a comprehensive exRNA profiling of plasma and serum specimens from healthy pregnant women, sampled at different gestational time points, and including subjects with diverse geographical and ethnic backgrounds. This study also contains samples from male and female healthy donors to provide a baseline. The aim of this study is to identify miRNAs that can predict the gestation age and to build a miRNA profile across gestation using small RNA-seq data.

• Characteristics and Inflammatory Markers in Children with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)

  The overall protocol for the samples used in this study collects medical information, blood, and biopsy samples from children with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) over time to understand clinical characteristics and disease pathogenesis. Our patient population has confirmed EoE and symptoms of esophageal dysfunction characteristic endoscopic findings of EoE. Fibroblasts isolated from esophageal tissue samples from 2 subjects with active EoE and 2 control subjects were evaluated using single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq).

• B Cell Lymphocytosis and Reprogramming due to a CARD11 Bi-Allelic Gain-of-Function Mutation

  This is a single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) study using peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 2 healthy donors and 2 patients with B cell Expansion with NF-κB and T cell Anergy (BENTA). Samples were not hashed or multiplexed. The 10X Genomics Platform was used for sequencing. Principal findings include transcriptome changes due to mono- or bi-allelic mutations in the gene CARD11. FASTA files will be available through dbGaP.

• Encompassing view of spatial and single-cell RNA-seq renews the role of the microvasculature in human atherosclerosis

  Atherosclerosis is a pervasive contributor to ischemic heart disease and stroke. Despite the advance of lipid lowering-therapies and antihypertensive agents, the residual risk of an atherosclerotic event remains high and developing therapeutic strategies has proven challenging. This is due to the complexity of atherosclerosis with a spatial interplay of multiple cell types within the vascular wall. Here we generate an integrative high-resolution map of human atherosclerotic plaques combining single-cell RNA-seq from multiple studies and spatial transcriptomics data from 12 human specimens, with different stages of atherosclerosis. We show cell-type and atherosclerosis-specific expression changes and spatially constrained alterations in cell-cell communication. We highlight the possible recruitment of lymphocytes via ACKR1 endothelial cells of the vasa vasorum, the migration of vascular smooth muscle cells towards the lumen by transforming into fibromyocytes, and cell-cell communication in the plaque region, indicating an intricate cellular interplay within the adventitia and the subendothelial space in human atherosclerosis.
