• Transcriptome sequencing across a prostate cancer cohort identifies PCAT-1, an unannotated lincRNA implicated in disease progression

  Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are emerging as key molecules in human cancer, with the potential to serve as novel markers of disease and to reveal uncharacterized aspects of tumor biology. Here we discover 121 unannotated prostate cancer-associated ncRNA transcripts (PCATs) by ab initio assembly of high-throughput sequencing of polyA+ RNA (RNA-Seq) from a cohort of 102 prostate tissues and cells lines. We characterized one ncRNA, PCAT-1, as a prostate-specific regulator of cell proliferation and show that it is a target of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). We further found that patterns of PCAT-1 and PRC2 expression stratified patient tissues into molecular subtypes distinguished by expression signatures of PCAT-1-repressed target genes. Taken together, our findings suggest that PCAT-1 is a transcriptional repressor implicated in a subset of prostate cancer patients. These findings establish the utility of RNA-Seq to identify disease-associated ncRNAs that may improve the stratification of cancer subtypes.

• scRNA-seq of total bone marrow and T cells from multiple myeloma long-term survivors

  scRNA This dataset contains 50 scRNA-seq samples from bone marrow aspirates of 11 multiple myeloma patients experiencing long-term survival and 3 healthy donors. For each donor, total bone marrow and CD3+ T cells were sequenced. For multiple myeloma patients, paired samples were collected at initial diagnosis and between 7-17 years after first-line therapy. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. For sorting of total bone marrow cells singlet, live cells were gated and sorted, for sorting of T cells CD45+, CD3+ cells were gated and sorted on either FACSAria Fusion or FACSAria II. Single-cell RNA sequencing were generated using 10x Genomics single-cell RNAseq technology (Chromium Single Cell 3’ Solution v2) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq4000 (paired end, 26 and 74 bp). Bulk RNA Singlet, live CD3+CD4- CXCR3+CD8+ and CD3+CD4- CXCR3-CD8+ cells were sorted from 7 bone marrow and 3 peripheral blood samples of 7 multiple myeloma patients using a FACSAria Fusion machine. Bulk-RNA sequencing libraries were generated using the SMART Seq Stranded Total RNA-Seq kit (Takara) and sequenced using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform (2 x 100 bp).

• Accurate Genome-Wide Germline DNA Profiling from Decade-Old Archival Tissue Specimens

  We evaluate the validity of repurposing archival tissue specimens for germline genetic studies. We performed lc-WGS and imputed genotypes on 10 pairs of matching blood and tumor tissue and benchmarked the accuracy of genome-wide genotypes, HLA haplotypes, and several polygenic risk scores (PRSs). The reported results indicate the high accuracy of germline genotypes and haplotypes obtained from archival tissue DNA. Using this methodology, we estimate breast cancer PRS in 36 Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients and demonstrate its association with breast cancer subsequent event (BCSE).

• The transition from quiescent to activated states in human hematopoietic stem cells is governed by dynamic 3D genome reorganization

  To elucidate the epigenetic changes which occur when human long-term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) become activated we performed Bulk ATAC-Seq on 13 sorted bulk hematopoietic populations from cord bloodas well as single-cell ATAC-Seq upon CD34+CD38-CD45RA- cells enriched for HSC as well as CD34+/CD38+ progenitor cells both from cord blood. These studies revealed gains of chromatin accessibility around CTCF binding sites during HSPC activation, as such we additionally performed Low-C to directly profile the 3D conformation of human cord-blood derived LT-HSC and Short-term hematopoietic stem cells (ST-HSC), as well as Hi-C , ATAC-Seq and CTCF ChIP-Seq upon the OCIAML-2 cell line in which CTCF sites gained during LT-HSC activation are enriched. Finally we transduced human cord-blood LT-HSC with an shCTCF vector; in-vitro cultured LT-HSC cells harbouring shCTCF were used to perform RNA-Seq, and scATAC-Seq was performed on CD34+/CD38- human CB cells transduced with shCTCF, four weeks post xeno-transplantation into mice. Collectively these studies have helped us demonstrate the role of 3D chromatin conformation changes during human LT-HSC activation.

• Reference Epigenomes and Regulatory Landscape of CLL

  Analysis of the reference epigenomes and regulatory landscape of CLL as a whole and its major clinico-biological subtypes (with mutated and unmutated IGHV) in the light of the normal B-cell differentiation. We have extensively characterized the reference epigenomes of seven primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia samples (CLLs) with mutated (n=5) and unmutated IGHV (n=2) as well as several mature B-cell subpopulations (naive B cells from blood and tonsil, germinal center B cells, memory B cells and plasma cells from tonsil) using genome-wide maps of six histone marks (H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H3K9me3 and H3K27me3), DNA accessibility (ATAC-seq), DNA methylation (whole-genome bisulfite sequencing) and gene expression (RNA-seq). Furthermore, we have mapped the regulatory chromatin landscape of 100 additional CLL cases using chIP-seq of H3K27ac and ATAC-seq and linked these data to additional layers of information (whole-genome and/or whole-exome sequencing (WGS/WES), RNA-seq and DNA methylation microarrays) studied in the context of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC).

• Metagenomic Analysis to Identify Novel Infectious Agents in Systemic Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma

  Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Risk of systemic ALCL is markedly increased among immunosuppressed people, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or solid organ transplant recipients. This increased risk in immunosuppressed populations suggests a viral etiology, given similar elevations for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma, and Hodgkin lymphoma (caused by Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]) and other virus-related cancers in immunosuppressed individuals. EBV might be a plausible candidate, but most reported ALCL tumors are EBV-negative. Therefore, we conducted a metagenomic analysis of microbial associations with ALCL to determine whether a known or novel pathogen is associated with the tumor. We obtained archived formal fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) ALCL tumor tissue from the Iowa cancer registry and an additional case from an immunosuppressed individual infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Controls included 3 diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) in transplant recipients (shown to be related to Epstein-Barr virus [EBV] by in situ hybridization) and 3 breast cancers (no known viral etiology). RNA was extracted from FFPE specimens, and total RNA libraries were prepared using the KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit (Roche). Five samples (IA01, IA53, IA57, IA07, and IA17) were sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina) and the remainder on a NovSeq 6000 (Illumina). Using novel computational approaches, we eliminated human reads and aligned residual non-human reads to known microbial references using GATK-PathSeq or conducted de novo assembly of unassigned reads using virID pipeline. Although EBV was detected in the 3 DLBCL controls, we did not detect EBV or any novel pathogen in ALCL tumors or in the breast cancers. Our study had a modest sample size and only one case arising in HIV-infected individual. Therefore, further studies are required to characterize the metagenome of systemic ALCLs, especially cases arising in immunosuppressed people.

• Region-specific Transcriptome Analysis of the Human Retina and Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE)/Choroid

  Proper spatial differentiation of retinal cell types is necessary for normal human vision. Many retinal diseases, such as Best disease and male germ cell associated kinase (MAK)-associated retinitis pigmentosa, preferentially affect distinct topographic regions of the retina. While much is known about the distribution of cell types in the retina, the distribution of molecular components across the posterior pole of the eye has not been well-studied. To investigate regional difference in molecular composition of ocular tissues, we assessed differential gene expression across the temporal, macular, and nasal retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)/choroid of human eyes using RNA-Seq. RNA from temporal, macular, and nasal retina and RPE/choroid from four human donor eyes was extracted, poly-A selected, fragmented, and sequenced as 100 bp read pairs. Digital read files were mapped to the human genome and analyzed for differential expression using the Tuxedo software suite. Retina and RPE/choroid samples were clearly distinguishable at the transcriptome level. Numerous transcription factors were differentially expressed between regions of the retina and RPE/choroid. Photoreceptor-specific genes were enriched in the peripheral samples, while ganglion cell and amacrine cell genes were enriched in the macula. Within the RPE/choroid, RPE-specific genes were upregulated at the periphery while endothelium associated genes were upregulated in the macula. Consistent with previous studies, BEST1 expression was lower in macular than extramacular regions. The MAK gene was expressed at lower levels in macula than in extramacular regions, but did not exhibit a significant difference between nasal and temporal retina. The regional molecular distinction is greatest between macula and periphery and decreases between different peripheral regions within a tissue. Datasets such as these can be used to prioritize candidate genes for possible involvement in retinal diseases with regional phenotypes.

• Multi-layered molecular characterization defines prognostic subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma in Asian never-smokers

  Multi-layered genomic studies such as the TCGA project have greatly advanced our understanding on molecular pathogenesis of lung cancer. For Asian nonsmoker patients, however, majority of studies have been limited to mutational analyses, emphasizing ethnic differences in driver mutations (e.g. more frequent EGFR mutations and ALK fusions). In essence, a comprehensive multi-layered characterization that could lead to molecular etiology and patient stratification scheme to be translated into clinical applications for this patient group is still missing. Here we report molecular profiling of tumor and matched normal tissues from 114 non-small-cell lung adenocarcinoma patients using whole exome sequencing, transcriptome sequencing, and array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).

• Assessment_of_genetic_and_epigenetic_variation_in_human_IPS_cells_RNA

  In order to progress human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) towards the clinic, several outstanding questions must be addressed. It is possible to reprogram different somatic cell types into hiPSCs and from studies in the mouse, it appears that an epigenetic memory of the starting cell type is carried over to hiPSCs. However a comprehensive comparative study of the characteristics of these hiPSCs has been missing from the literature. Importantly studies which aimed to address these aspects of hiPSCs have used cells from different patients. In order to avoid this important confounding variable and to keep the genetic background constant, tissue samples were procured from the patients and reprogrammed to iPS cells. The transcriptomes of these iPS cells will be compared. Protocol: primary cultures of cells were reprogrammed to iPS cells. RNA was extracted using a standard column extraction kit.

• A Genome Wide Scan of Lung Cancer and Smoking

  The majority of cases of lung cancer are the culmination of a dynamic process that begins with smoking initiation, proceeds through dependency and smoking persistence, continues with lung cancer development and ends with progression to disseminated disease or response to therapy and survival. We are conducting a whole genome study of lung cancer and smoking to examine critical steps in lung cancer progression. This study is a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to investigate the genetic determinants of lung cancer risk. The study design efficiently allows identification of genes that also contribute to smoking persistence and outcome from lung cancer using a single GWAS of 5,900 subjects using the primary GENEVA dataset, derived from two studies. The first is the Environment and Genetics in Lung Cancer Etiology Study (EAGLE), a population-based, biologically intensive, case-control study from the Lombardy region of Italy including ~2000 newly diagnosed lung cancer cases and ~2000 age-, gender- and region- matched controls. The second is the Prostate, Lung, Colon and Ovary Study (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial from which we have selected ~850 lung cancer cases and ~850 controls, also matched on age and gender. Understanding the basis for the well-established hereditary component of lung cancer and smoking persistence could provide new insights into etiology, prevention, and treatment, and have an enormous impact on public health. The same GWAS genotyping data in the two studies will be used to investigate the genetic determinants of smoking persistence. Specifically, we will analyze current smokers and former smokers from EAGLE and PLCO for diverse smoking phenotypes, including persistence of smoking as well as ever/never smoking comparisons, quitting attempts, and the Fagerström index of tobacco addiction. PLCO participants are all European-Americans and EAGLE involves subjects from Italy. EAGLE is a case-control study and contains 3937 phenotyped subjects. PLCO is a screening trial with a cohort design and contains 1651 phenotyped subjects. This study is part of the Gene Environment Association Studies initiative (GENEVA, http://www.genevastudy.org) funded by the trans-NIH Genes, Environment, and Health Initiative (GEI). The overarching goal is to identify novel genetic factors that contribute to lung cancer and smoking through large-scale genome-wide association studies of population-based samples of lung cancer cases and controls. Genotyping was performed at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Inherited Disease Research (CIDR). Data cleaning and harmonization were done at the GEI-funded GENEVA Coordinating Center at the University of Washington.

• Non-coding RNAs Activated by the Wnt/Beta-catenin Signaling Pathway in Hepatoblastoma

  Hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common pediatric liver tumor, affecting mostly children under 3 years of age. This rare tumor represents 1% of all pediatric cancers. Genetic studies have shown that HB is characterized by high frequency mutations of the CTNNB1 gene encoding beta-catenin (around 75%) and relative genomic stability. Here we have analyzed the transcriptional profile of 21 HBs compared to matched non-tumor livers by Cap Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE), which provides accurate and quantitative profiling of all transcripts. CAGE analysis revealed strong upregulation of known Wnt target coding genes in most tumors analyzed, consistent with previous transcriptomic studies. To better define the Wnt-dependent transcriptional landscape of HB, we integrated CAGE data with TCF4 ChIP-seq data from a CTNNB1-mutated cancer cell line and with the FANTOM5 genomic coordinates of TCF/LEF binding motifs. Both TCF/LEF binding motifs and ChIP-seq peaks were strongly enriched in the immediate upstream region, not only for protein-coding genes, but also for non-coding transcripts. Among the selected 112 top Wnt target genes at FDR<1.0E-6 and fold change>8, we found clear over-representation (66%) of distant transcription start sites (TSSs) representing lncRNAs and enhancer RNAs, which raises the question of their role in HB pathogenesis. Analysis of the 112 promoters using CAGEd-oPOSSUM confirmed the predominant involvement of Tcf/Lef transcription factors, together with HNF4G, GATA2, Sox3 and Ets-related genes. Finally, the 112 Wnt target signature defined 3 tumor subclasses, T1, T2 and T3, characterized by progressive alteration of the non-coding part of the transcriptome and significant differences in clinical behavior.

• Ongoing Replication Stress Tolerance and Clonal T Cell Responses Distinguish Liver and Lung Recurrence and Patient Outcomes in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

  Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) survive longer when disease spreads to the lung but not to the liver. We generated overlapping, multi-omic datasets to identify molecular and cellular features that distinguish patients whose disease develops liver metastasis (liver cohort) from those whose disease progression results in lung metastasis without liver metastases (lung cohort). Lung cohort patients generally survived longer than liver cohort patients, independent of tumor subtype. We developed a pORG gene signature that distinguishes primary tumors in the liver and lung cohorts. We identified ongoing replication stress (RS) response pathways in high pORG/liver cohort tumors, while low pORG/lung cohort tumors had greater densities of lymphocytes and shared T cell clonal responses. Our study demonstrates that liver-avid PDAC is associated with tolerance to ongoing RS, limited tumor immunity, and less favorable outcomes; whereas low RS, lung-avid/liver-averse tumors are associated with active tumor immunity that may account for favorable outcomes. As expected, we found high frequencies of KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, and SMAD4 gene alterations in our tumor samples. High pORG activity (GSVA scores) in our primary tumors appear to be positively correlated with alteration frequencies in both TP53 and CDKN2A. We did not see a correlation with alterations in KRAS as almost all the tumor samples have KRAS alterations. From a de-identified dataset of 1,873 patients diagnosed with and/or treated for PDAC at our institution between 2004 and 2020, we identified 422 patients for which we had specimens with sequencing data (N=374) and/or specific evidence of disease metastasis site(s) from the OHSU cancer registry or disease-relevant computed tomography (CT) scans to allow cohort classification. Note that our study includes RNA-Seq, DNA-Seq panel, and TCR-Seq (T-cell Receptor Sequencing) data, but that this dbGaP submission just includes the patients/samples with RNA-Seq and/or DNA-Seq panel data. Therefore, this submission includes 290 samples from 278 patients. TCR sequence data is available on the Adaptive Biotechnologies platform. Clinical course timepoints, patient demographics, stage, grade, nodal involvement, resection margins, and angiolymphatic invasion were provided as deidentified data by the OHSU cancer registry with quality control data verification in a subset by pathologists (BB and TM). We reviewed all available computed tomography (CT) scans for all patients with primary tumor resection dates recorded by the cancer registrar, with tumor samples analyzed by RNA-seq, DNA-seq, or TCR-seq, and/or with additional information indicating metastatic spread (e.g., metastatic samples received for related studies). We abstracted the site of all lesions proven to be metastatic by biopsy and/or that clearly increased in size during progression or decreased in size during treatment as long as a radiologist described the lesion as “likely”, “suspicious for”, “concerning for”, or “favor” metastasis. Clinical imaging was reviewed by a radiologist (AG) to validate patient assignments to the liver, lung, and neither liver nor lung (other recurrence site) cohorts. Time to recurrence was calculated from the earliest of either the recurrence date provided by the OHSU cancer registry, or the date of earliest lesion abstracted from CT reports. The subject attributes reported in this submission were up to date at the time of our data freeze, which occurred July 2021.

• 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.

• 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).

• Mutational landscape of the transcriptome offers putative targets for immunotherapy of myeloproliferative neoplasms

  In this study, we aimed to comprehensively characterize in 113 myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) patients the mutational landscape of the granulocyte transcriptome using RNA sequencing data. We implemented workflows for fusion and variant calling, and differential splicing analysis for patients with hotspot SF3B1 mutations. Finally, we characterized the neoantigen landscape on individualized level taking each patient's HLA genotype (derived from the same RNA-seq dataset) into account.

• RNAseq of 76 samples from Uveal Melanoma tumors

  Hotspot mutations in the spliceosome gene SF3B1 are reported in 20% of uveal melanomas. SF3B1 is involved in 3'-splice site (3'ss) recognition during RNA splicing; however, the molecular mechanisms of its mutation have remained unclear. Here we show, using RNA-Seq analyses of uveal melanoma, that the SF3B1 R625/K666 mutation results in deregulated splicing at a subset of junctions, mostly by the use of alternative 3'ss

• IgM heavy chain V(D)J library sequencing using varied PCR parameters

  When amplifying the rearranged V(D)J genes encoding antigen receptors during adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq), each cycle of the PCR can produce spurious “chimeric” hybrids of two or more different template sequences. To test the effects of PCR protocol variation on chimera formation in AIRR-seq, we produced IgM heavy chain V(D)J repertoire libraries under 8 conditions, varying the number of PCR cycles, indexing PCR template, input RNA, and extension time. Three donors were sequenced using all 8 conditions.
