• Bladder cancer subtyping study across 4 atezo clinical trials

  Checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 interaction have revolutionized cancer therapy across many indications. In urothelial carcinoma (UC), several PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have been approved for treatment in localized and metastatic disease. While these agents provide durable clinical benefit in a number of patients, the majority do not respond. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying response and resistance is needed to tailor existing treatments and develop new therapeutics in UC. We profiled tumors from 2803 patients from four late-stage randomized clinical trials evaluating the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab in metastatic UC and muscle-invasive bladder cancer by RNA-seq, a targeted DNA panel, immunohistochemistry, and digital pathology. A machine learning algorithm identified four UC transcriptional subtypes, representing luminal desert, stromal, immune, and basal tumors. Overall survival benefit from atezolizumab over standard-of-care was observed in immune and basal tumors (45% of patients). Digital pathology showed enrichment of human interpretable features in specific molecular subtypes, and a self-supervised approach could classify molecular subtypes from H&E slides with high accuracy, suggesting that machine-based image interpretation could accelerate tumor molecular profiling. Somatic alterations showed limited capacity to identify responders. Finally, mechanisms of benefit with PD-L1 blockade appeared different in immune and basal tumors, with immune tumors benefiting from B/plasma cell enrichment, while basal tumors benefited from granulocyte enrichment. This study represents the largest integration of UC molecular and curated clinical data in randomized clinical trials to date, paving the way for prospective clinical studies tailoring treatment regimens to specific tumor molecular subtypes in UC and other indications.

• A New High-Throughput Sequencing-Based Technology to Study Heterochromatin Structure

  In this study we report epigenomic and transcriptomics datasets for normal control fibroblasts. The following cell lines were obtained from the NIGMS Human Genetic Cell Repository at the Coriell Institute for Medical Research: AG08498, AG07095, originally collected as part of the NIA Aging Cell Repository study. We applied a high-throughput sequencing-based technique, named Sequential Analysis of MacroMolecules accessibilitY (SAMMY-seq), for the genome-wide mapping of chromatin regions separated by differential accessibility. The method is based on the sequential extraction of multiple chromatin fractions, corresponding to increasingly compacted and less accessible chromatin regions, which are mapped along the genome using high-throughput sequencing. Additionally we carried out ChIP-seq for the H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 histone modifications and RNA-seq for the characterization of transcriptome in control fibroblasts.

• Pheno-seq profiles of single clonal tumor spheroids derived from a patient with colorectal cancer

  Pheno-seq is a new approach that integrates high-throughput imaging and transcriptomic profiling of clonal spheroids/organoids to dissect functional tumor cell heterogeneity in 3D cell culture systems. The method is based on the iCELL8 technology (TakaraBio) that uses barcoded nanowells and a micro-solenoid valve dispenser. The CRC_spheroid dataset contains demultiplexed RNA-sequencing profiles (FASTQ file format, NextSeq 500) of 95 clonal tumor spheroids derived from a patient with colorectal cancer.

• Enzymatic methylation sequencing of rectal mucus from patients suspected to have colorectal cancer

  This dataset contains comprises enzymatic methylation sequencing (EM-Seq) data generated from 208 rectal mucus samples from patients suspected to have colorectal cancer and healthy controls. Targeted CpG sites were enriched using a panel of genes implicated in colorectal cancer, and libraries were prepared with NEBNext EM-Seq prior to Illumina sequencing. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, producing paired-end FASTQ files. These data support analyses of DNA methylation patterns in CRC detection and progression

• Healthy human B-lymphopoiesis RNA-Seq reference using FACS sorted bone marrow aspirates

  To define a transcriptomic reference of human B lymphopoiesis, bone marrow aspirates were obtained from n=4 healthy donors (study registration DRKS00023583). After immunodensity cell separation, samples were FACS-sorted into 7 established lymphopoietic differentiation stages. RNA was extracted from 5,000-320,000 cells per differentiation stage and subjected to ultra-low-input RNA sequencing after generation of stranded sequencing libraries.

• Batches 1-3 prostatectomy analysis

  Whole Genome Sequencing Illumina HiSeq data from 95 men with prostate cancer. Samples were taken from primary tissue obtained at prostatectomy (target sequencing depth 50X) with matched blood control (target sequencing depth 30X). This data is from batches 1 to 3 and is the bulk of the data used in Wedge et al, Nature Genetics 2018 (PMID: 29662167). As of September 2020, some of the studies using these data include: Wedge et al, Nature Genetics 2018 (PMID: 29662167) Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes, Nature 2020 (PMID: 32025007)

• Intratumoral plasma cells predict outcomes to PD-L1 blockade in non-small cell lung cancer

  Inhibitors of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) signaling axis are approved to treat non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, based on their significant overall survival (OS) benefit. Using transcriptomic analysis of 891 NSCLC tumors from patients treated with either the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab or chemotherapy from two large randomized clinical trials, we found a significant B cell association with extended OS with PD-L1 blockade, independent of CD8+ T cell signals. We then derived gene signatures corresponding to the dominant B cell subsets present in NSCLC from single-cell RNA-seq data. Importantly, we found increased plasma cell signatures to be predictive of OS in patients treated with atezolizumab, but not chemotherapy. B cells were also associated with the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures and organized lymphoid aggregates. Our results suggest an important contribution of B and plasma cells to PD-L1 blockade efficacy in NSCLC.
