Genetic Epidemiology of COPD (COPDGene) Funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States and the only leading cause of death that is steadily increasing in frequency. This project will establish a racially diverse cohort that is sufficiently large and appropriately designed for genome-wide association analysis of COPD. A total of 10,000 subjects will be recruited, including control smokers, definite COPD cases (GOLD Stage 2 to 4), and subjects not included in either group (GOLD 1 or GOLD-Unclassified). This cohort will be used for cross-sectional analysis, although long-term longitudinal follow-up will be a future goal. The primary focus of the study will be genome-wide association analysis to identify the genetic risk factors that determine susceptibility for COPD and COPD-related phenotypes. Detailed phenotyping of both cases and controls, including chest CT scan assessment of emphysema and airway disease, will allow identification of genetic determinants for the heterogeneous components of the COPD syndrome. The hypotheses to be studied are: 1) Precise phenotypic characterization of COPD subjects using computed tomography, as well as clinical and physiological measures, will provide data that will enable the broad COPD syndrome to be decomposed into clinically significant subtypes. 2) Genome-wide association studies will identify genetic determinants for COPD susceptibility that will provide insight into clinically relevant COPD subtypes. 3) Distinct genetic determinants influence the development of emphysema and airway disease. The initial phase of genome-wide association analysis included 500 COPD cases and 500 control subjects (all non-Hispanic White) genotyped with the Illumina Omni-1 chip. The second phase genotyped the entire study cohort using the Illumina Omni-Express chip. Unique aspects of the study include: 1) Inclusion of large numbers of African American subjects (approximately 1/3 of the cohort); 2) Obtaining chest CT scans (including inspiratory and expiratory images); and 3) Inclusion of the full range of disease severity.

RNA-seq analysis of CCO+/CCO- hepatocytes in normal human liver

RNAseq data from Passman et al 2023. Clonal CCO-deficient hepatocyte patches and nearby CCO-proficient hepatocytes were identified in morphologically normal human livers and sampled at varying distances along the PT-CV axis. Samples are characterised according to their location within the liver lobule, with "PT" denoting samples abutting the portal triad, "CV" denoting samples abutting the central hepatic vein, and "Mid" sampled acquired midway between these structures. Analysis was performed on an Illumina Nextseq using a high output kit and 100 single-end cycles.

The Library of Integrated Network-Based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) - NeuroLINCS

The NeuroLINCS Center is part of the NIH Common Fund's Library of Integrated Network-based Cellular Signatures (LINCS) program, which aims to characterize how a variety of human cells, tissues and the entire organism respond to perturbations by drugs and other molecular factors. As Part of the LINCS program, the NeuroLINCS study concentrates on human brain cells, which are far less understood than other cells in the body. Our initial focus is to produce diseased motor neurons from patients by utilizing high-quality induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) patients in addition to unaffected normal healthy controls. Using state-of-the-art OMICS methods (genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics), we intend to create a wealth of cellular data that is patient-specific in the context of their baseline genetic perturbations and in the presence of other genetic and environmental perturbagens (e.g. endoplasmic reticulum stress). The primary data will be used to build cell signatures that convey the key features that distinguish the state of a cell and determine its behavior. Ultimately, the analysis of these datasets will lead to the identification of a network of unique signatures relevant to each of these motor neuron diseases. The datasets represented in this study are generated from assays interrogating RNA expression (RNA-seq), chromatin accessibility (ATAC-seq) and whole genome sequencing.

Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research Consortium: Incorporation of Genomic Sequencing into Pediatric Cancer Care

This project includes data derived from subjects enrolled in the BASIC3 (Baylor College of Medicine Advancing Sequencing in Childhood Cancer Care) study. BASIC3 is a National Genome Human Research Institute (NHGRI) and National Cancer Institute-funded Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) consortium project that focused on prospective implementation of clinical whole exome sequencing in the pediatric oncology clinic. The primary study objective were to integrate information from CLIA-certified germline and tumor exome sequencing into the care of newly diagnosed solid tumor patients at Texas Children's Cancer Center, and to perform parallel evaluation of the impact of tumor and germline exomes on families and physicians. Blood and frozen tumor (if available) samples were collected from children undergoing surgery or biopsy of newly diagnosed solid tumors and subjected to exome sequencing in a CLIA-certified laboratory. Germline and tumor (if applicable) exome sequencing reports were generated and submitted into the electronic health record and returned to each patient/family by their primary oncologist. In addition to the clinical exome sequencing, specific (optional) consent was requested for research sequencing studies. If this consent was obtained then research studies of some of the children and parents participating in the BASIC3 study (including tumor transcriptome and whole genome sequencing of blood and/or tumor) are performed. The Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research Consortium Cohort is utilized in the following dbGaP sub-study.

RNA-seq of non-LPS treated (N), non-tolerized (NT), and tolerized (T) IFNg-primed macrophages pretreated with or without HDAC3i

In this experiment we investigated the effect of HDAC3 inhibition on the transcriptome of IFNg-primed macrophages under different tolerization conditions. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 3 healthy donors. PBMCs were isolated from whole blood of healthy donors using Ficoll gradient (Invitrogen). Monocytes (CD14+ cells) were positively selected from PBMCs using CD14 Microbeads according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Miltenyi Biotec). Monocytes were subsequently treated with or without 500 nM HDAC3i (ITF3100) for 30 minutes prior to overnight IFNg priming (50 ng/mL). Cells were then kept without LPS (non-LPS; N), treated with 10 ng/mL LPS once (non-tolerized; NT), or treated with LPS twice (tolerized; T; second LPS concentration: 100 ng/mL). In total, there were 18 samples included.

Whole genome and RNA sequencing of paediatric glioblastoma in the ICGC PedBrain project

Paediatric glioblastoma (pedGBM) is characterised by substantial intertumoural heterogeneity. In order to identify the genetic lesions underlying tumourigenesis, we analysed whole genomes and transcriptomes of pedGBMs and in vitro model systems by next generation sequencing. Novel fusions of the receptor tyrosine kinase MET lead us to investigate targeted therapy using MET inhibitors. This study is part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium PedBrain Tumor Project (ICGC PedBrain, http://www.pedbraintumor.org/).

RNA sequencing in primary inflammatory (TPP) macrophages following deletion of a disease-associated gene desert at chr21q22, disruption of ETS2, or treatment of ETS2-edited macrophages with a HIF1α stabiliser.

GWAS studies in five different inflammatory diseases have identified a strong genetic association at a gene desert at the chr21q22 locus. We have shown that this locus contains a monocyte/macrophage-specific enhancer that regulates ETS2 - a gene whose role in primary human monocytes/macrophages is incompletely understood. We therefore used a CRISPR-Cas9-based approach to delete the enhancer region or to disrupt ETS2, and performed RNA-sequencing to examine the transcriptional consequences. One effect of ETS2 disruption was upregulation of genes involved in aerobic respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. We therefore treated ETS2-edited inflammatory macrophages with roxadustat, a HIF1α stabiliser that can promote glycolysis via HIF1α-mediated metabolic reprogramming, and performed RNA-sequencing to determine whether this drug might rescue the transcriptional effects of ETS2 disruption.

Single Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Malignant and Stromal Programs Associated with Metastasis in Head and Neck Cancer

This study of head and neck cancer aimed to profile individual malignant, stromal, and immune cells in treatment-naive oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, with or without matched metastatic cervical lymph nodes. Clinical and pathologic information was collected on all patients, in addition to a fresh biopsy sample from the primary tumor and/or metastatic lymph node at the time of initial surgery. Biopsy specimens were processed for single cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and/or whole exome sequencing (WES). A total of ~6,000 single cells from 18 participants were included in the final dataset. Stromal and immune cells had consistent expression programs across patients. Conversely, malignant cells varied within and between tumors in their expression of signatures related to cell cycle, stress, hypoxia, epithelial differentiation, and partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (p-EMT). One of the top scoring genes in this program was TGFβ-induced (TGFBI), implicating the classic EMT regulator TGFβ. Cells expressing the p-EMT program spatially localized to the leading edge of primary tumors. By integrating single-cell transcriptomes with bulk expression profiles for hundreds of tumors, we refined Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) subtypes by their malignant and stromal composition, and established p-EMT as an independent predictor of nodal metastasis, grade, and adverse pathologic features. Our results provide insight into the HNSCC ecosystem and define stromal interactions and a p-EMT program associated with metastasis.

PE-CGS: Optimizing Engagement of Hispanic Colorectal Cancer Patients in Cancer Genomic Characterization Studies

Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. Hispanic/Latinos (H/L) are the largest and fasting growing ethnic group in the US, and cancer is the leading cause of death among H/L in the US. Therefore, we need to fully understand the full complexity of the molecular etiology of cancer in this ethnic group. For instance, although incidence rates of CRC are lower among Latinos as compared to Whites or African Americans, Hispanics with metastatic disease have shorter overall survival when adjusted for health care setting, demographics, disease characteristics and treatment factors. H/L also tend to be diagnosed at a younger age and with higher stage, and we have previously reported that Mexican H/L in California have the greatest proportion of young (The Cancer Genome Atlas has provided a deep overview of the molecular taxonomy of CRC in 594 cases, however, less than 1% of the cases (n=5) were H/L. Therefore, it is imperative for us to take more detailed assessment of the molecular genomic landscape of CRC in H/L. One of the major issues likely limiting our ability to perform these large genomic initiatives in minority patients is that Patient or Participant Engagement practices may not be investigated to identify best practices for accruing and consenting patients into clinical translational biomedical research studies. This concept of Participant Engagement is critically important for both the patients and the translational cancer research community. Optimizing and improving our approaches for directly engaging patients at initial contact, throughout the course of a translational genomic study, and during the time of return of results is likely to lead to stronger relationships between the medical community and patients, but could also lead to significant improvement in outcomes for patients and for the cancer care community as a whole. As such, we propose the creation of the USC Center for Optimization of Participant Engagement in Cancer Characterization (COPECC) with a focus on optimizing the engagement of Latinos in CRC Genomic Characterization research studies. USC COPECC would serve as a member of the NCI U2C Participant Engagement and Cancer Genome Sequencing (PE-CGS) Network. Our investigative team includes experts in all relevant areas of research for genomic characterization, participant engagement, and engagement optimization. We have an established platform for consenting patients into cancer genomics studies that will serve as a standard process. The overall goal of USC COPECC is to generate results on participant engagement optimization and CRC genomic research that will be shared with the broader community to distribute best practices for engaging Latinos in hopes of improving overall outcomes for CRC in this underserved population.

NextGen Consortium: The iPSCORE (iPSC Collection for Omic Research) Resource for Studying the Impact of Genetic Variation on Molecular Phenotypes

The iPSC Collection for Omic Research (iPSCORE) Resource was created as part of the Next-Gen Consortium funded by NHLBI. The overarching purpose of the resource is to provide a large collection of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for use in studying the impact of genetic variation on molecular and physiological phenotypes. The resource has been used in a number of studies in the Dr. Kelly A. Frazer's Lab examining both the characteristics of human iPSCs and a variety of iPSC-derived cell types including cardiovascular progenitor cells (iPSC-CVPCs), pancreatic precursor cells (iPSC-PPCs), and retina pigment epithelium cells (iPSC-RPEs). We have shown that the iPSCs, CVPCs, and PPCs are suitable surrogate models to identify genetic factors active in early developmental processes because they exhibit fetal-like molecular properties. A total of 273 individuals have participated in the study, of which 222 have had iPSCs generated from fibroblasts. Of the 273 individuals, 181 are part of 55 families that include 24 monozygotic twin pairs and 5 dizygotic twin pairs, allowing for the incorporation of familial relationships into genetic analyses. Germline DNA has been sequenced from blood or fibroblast samples for all 273 individuals (available through dbGaP phs001325) and other genomic data (RNA-seq, DNA methylation, genotype arrays, ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq, HiC-seq) have been generated from the 222 iPSCs as well as derived cell types (available through dbGaP phs000924). QTL analyses were conducted for multiple omics data types and summary statistics are available through dbGaP phs0001325. Important note: Of the 273 individuals, 268 are consented for general research use and 5 are consented for cardiac research only.
