• Immunological hallmarks for clinical response to BCG in bladder cancer

  Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is an effective immunotherapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). However, recurrence and progression remain frequent warranting deeper insights into its mechanism. We herein comprehensively profiled blood and tissues obtained from NMIBC patients before, during and after BCG treatment using cytometry by time-of-flight (CyTOF) and RNA sequencing to identify the key immune subsets crucial for anti-tumour activity.

• Temporal Evolution Reveals Bifurcated Lineages in Aggressive Neuroendocrine Small Cell Prostate Cancer Trans-Differentiation

  Trans-differentiation from adenocarcinoma to small cell neuroendocrine (SCN) cancer is an adverse consequence of treatment escape in various cancers, including prostate, lung, and bladder cancers (Balanis and Sheu et al., PMID 31287989). Expression of dominant negative p53 (TP53DN), myrAkt1, RB1-shRNA, c-Myc, and Bcl2(PARCB forward transformation) using human naïve prostate basal epithelial cells recapitulated both transcriptional and histological characteristics of small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) (Park et al., PMID 30287662). To study the temporal transcriptional landscape during this trans-differentiation process, we conducted a time course study using a PARCB model by integrating multi-omics sequencing, including bulk RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing on samples taken at different time point, as well as single cell RNA sequencing on serial xenograft tumors. We found a common SCN pathway that resulted in two distinct end states defined by mutually exclusive expression of ASCL1 and ASCL2. Further investigation using CUT&RUN sequencing identified TFAP4 as a potential epigenetic regulator of both proteins. Our study reveals temporal and transcriptional changes from prostate adenocarcinoma to NEPC trans-differentiation.

• Single-Cell Genomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of the Aging Human Brain

  We studied human brain aging using single-cell whole genome sequencing and single-nucleus RNA sequencing of the pre-frontal cortex from 19 donors ranging in age from 0.4 years to 104 years. All donors were free of neuropathology and none received a clinical neurological diagnosis prior to death. snRNA-seq libraries were prepared in batches that always included old and young donors to mitigate batch effects in the preparations. Neurons for single-cell WGS were collected from the same tissue region as the snRNA-seq for each donor but represent independent cells. Multiplexed error-robust fluorescent in-situ hybridization (MERFISH) data was also collected from pre-frontal cortex samples of a subset of the 19 donors. Transcriptomic results identified infant-specific cell clusters, and common-down regulation of cell-essential genes involved in ribosomes, transport, homeostasis and metabolism during aging, across all cell types. scWGS identified two-age associated mutational signatures, as well as gene-length and expression-level dependent somatic mutation rates in neurons. Raw sequencing data in fastq format for single-nucleus RNA-seq and single-cell DNA-seq, as well as cell and gene count matrix, transcript metadata, and cell metadata for MERFISH will be available in dbGaP.

• Translation of non-canonical open reading frames as a cancer cell survival mechanism in childhood medulloblastoma

  A hallmark of high-risk childhood medulloblastoma is the dysregulation of RNA translation. Currently, it is unknown whether medulloblastoma dysregulates the translation of putatively oncogenic non-canonical open reading frames. To address this question, we performed ribosome profiling of 32 medulloblastoma tissues and cell lines and observed widespread non-canonical ORF translation. We then developed a step-wise approach to employ multiple CRISPR-Cas9 screens to elucidate functional non-canonical ORFs implicated in medulloblastoma cell survival. We determined that multiple lncRNA-ORFs and upstream open reading frames (uORFs) exhibited selective functionality independent of the main coding sequence. One of these, ASNSD1-uORF or ASDURF, was upregulated, associated with the MYC family oncogenes, and was required for medulloblastoma cell survival through engagement with the prefoldin-like chaperone complex. Our findings underscore the fundamental importance of non-canonical ORF translation in medulloblastoma and provide a rationale to include these ORFs in future cancer genomics studies seeking to define new cancer targets.

• Counts: Brain transcriptome of hereditary cerebral haemorrhage with amyloidosis–Dutch type (HCHWA-D)

  These are the log2CPM (log2 counts per million) fragments per gene counts associated with the BAM files in EGAD00001003806, in tab separated format. Counts for 36 postmortem brain samples from 9 non-demented control subjects and 9 Hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type subjects are included (1 Frontal cortex sample and 1 Occipital cortex sample per subject). RNA samples were depleted for ribosomal RNA with the Ribo Zero Gold Human kit (Illumina) and strand specific RNA-Seq libraries were generated. Paired-end sequencing was performed on a HiSeq2500 Illumina system (2x50bp reads). Alignments were performed using GSNAP v2014-12-23 with setting "--npaths 1" on GRCh38 reference genome without the alternative contigs. Fragment per gene counting was performed using HTSeq-count v0.6.1p1 with setting "--stranded reverse". The gene annotation used for quantification were UCSC RefSeq genes for GRCh38 downloaded on 2015-07-13.

• HipSci RNA sequencing for embryonic stem cell control lines

  The HipSci project brings together diverse constituents in genomics, proteomics, cell biology and clinical genetics to create a UK national iPS cell resource and use it to carry out cellular genetic studies. In this sub-study we perform RNA sequencing on commercially available embryonic stem cell lines as control samples against which to compare HipSci's iPS cell lines.

• Surgery in combination with immune checkpoint therapy as an effective treatment for patients with metastatic cancer.

  Abstract Surgical removal of primary tumors was shown to reverse tumor-mediated immune suppression in pre-clinical models with metastatic disease. However, how cytoreductive surgery in the metastatic setting modulates the immune responses in patients, especially in the context of immune checkpoint therapy (ICT)-containing treatments is not understood. Here, we report the first prospective, non-comparative clinical trial (N=104) using three different ICT-containing strategies plus cytoreductive or “debulking” surgery to remove the primary tumor-bearing kidney or a metastatic lesion as a treatment for patients (N=43) with metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC). For those patients (N=61) who were not candidates for cytoreductive surgery, a biopsy was obtained instead for correlative biological studies. Our data demonstrated that the combination of ICT with cytoreductive surgery was safe and feasible in patients with mccRCC. The 2-year overall survival was 84% with a median OS of 54.7 months for patients who received ICT containing regimens plus surgery. Immune-monitoring studies with co-detection by indexing (CODEX) identified distinct tumor spatial conformation of cellular subsets as a novel and improved predictor of response to ICT. Importantly, single-cell RNA-sequencing data demonstrated that surgical removal of the tumor increased antigen-presenting dendritic cell population with a concurrent reduction in KDM6B expressing immune-suppressive myeloid cells in the peripheral blood. Together, this study highlighted the feasibility of combining ICT with cytoreductive surgery in a metastatic setting and demonstrated potential enhancement of immune responses following ICT plus cytoreductive surgery in patients with metastatic disease.
