• Induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC lines) produced from skin and blood cells.

  The IMBA stem cell bank, iPSC Biobank, is a collection of induced pluripotent stem cell lines (iPSC lines) produced from skin and blood cells. The iPSC Biobank is integrated into the IMBA Stem Cell Core Facility. It stores and provides high-quality reference control panels of iPSC clones as a tool to the research community. The resource is available to all scientists and commercial institutions. The ethical guidelines of the iPSC Biobank are always based on prevailing laws and internal regulations.

• Single cell multi-omic data of glioblastoma evolution under therapy

  We report a single-cell multi-omics atlas of GBM longitudinal specimens that represents decades of biobanking. We identify novel cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsic targets for therapy development which we validate in situ and in low-passage patient-derived cell lines. We identify novel genetic correlates of the mesenchymal cellular phenotype. These studies integrate disparate findings in the literature around hypermutation status and immunogenicity as well as the source of the mesenchymal shift at recurrence.

• Deep whole genome sequencing identifies recurrent genomic alterations in breast cancer cell lines and patient derived xenograft models

  Breast cancer cell lines (BCCLs) and patient-derived xenografts (PDX) are the most frequently used models in breast cancer research. Despite their widespread usage, genome sequencing of these models is incomplete, with previous studies only focusing on targeted gene panels, whole exome or shallow whole genome sequencing. Here we describe deep whole genome sequencing (WGS) of commonly used BCCL and PDX models using the Illumina X10 platform with an average ~ 60x coverage.

• Illumina RNA sequencing for HLA expression qauntification

  In this study, we quantified mRNA expression levels of HLA class I and II genes from peripheral blood samples of 50 healthy individuals. The gene- and allele-specific mRNA expression was assessed using unique molecular identifiers, which enabled PCR bias removal and calculation of the number of original mRNA transcripts. We identified differences in mRNA expression between different HLA genes and alleles. Our results suggest that HLA alleles are differentially expressed and these differences in expression levels are quantifiable using RNA sequencing technology.

• Transcriptome profiling of three giant cell tumour of bone cell lines

  Transcriptome profiling of three established giant cell tumour of bone (GCTB) cell lines on the BGISEQ-500 platform (PE100). Cell lines consist of neoplastic "stromal" cells harboring a heterozygous H3F3A p.G34W mutation. Data was used in a study (Venneker et al., Histone deacetylase inhibitors as a therapeutic strategy to eliminate neoplastic “stromal” cells from giant cell tumors of bone, 2022) to determine H3F3A-WT/MT expression ratios, to identify pathogenic variants, and to examine the expression levels of epigenetic modifiers and regulators.

• Endothelium-derived stromal cells contribute to bone marrow niche formation

  Comprehensive transcriptional characterization of bone marrow stromal cells by RNA sequencing was performed to determine the molecular properties/signatures of endothelium during niche formation.Here, we identify a rare subset of cells in the human fetal BM that co-express endothelial and stromal markers, including low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR/CD271). They display transcriptional reprogramming consistent with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), reflected in their potential to generate stromal cells with in vivo BM niche forming capacity.

• Characterization of MCSP+ melanoma DCC and MelDCC lines

  To dissect the sequence of genotypic and phenotypic progression during early metastatic colonization, we searched for the earliest detectable disseminated cancer cells (DCC) and identified MCSP+ melanoma cells as strong candidates for metastasis founder cells (MFC) in lymph nodes. We isolated MCSP+ DCC from various stages of metastatic colony-formation, performed scRNA-seq and unravelled their phenotypic progression. Further we performed bulk sequencing on patient-derived DCC models (MelDCC) and showed that they exhibit an immunosuppressive activity on CD8 T cells.

• Human pan-cancer plasma cfRNA study - raw data

  This study contains mRNA capture sequencing data from plasma of 266 different human donors. The first, pan-cancer, cohort covers 25 high-grade to metastatic cancer types (8 cancer patients per type) and a control group (8 healthy donors). The validation cohort comprises additional plasma samples from ovarian, prostate and uterine cancer patients (12 per type) as well as additional samples from controls (22 new and 8 repeated). Samples were sequenced on a NovaSeq 6000 and are provided in FASTQ format.

• Whole exome sequencing identifies clinically relevant mutational signatures in resected hepatocellular carcinoma

  We conducted a multicentre pilot study on patients with localized HCC following complete radiological response to surgical resection. Patients received 250 mg oral gefitinib once daily as adjuvant therapy, up to a maximum of 6 months. The clinical endpoints included recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS), and correlative genetic analyses were conducted from whole exome sequencing data (n=33). All statistical analyses were carried out on an intention-to-treat basis. The study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00282100).

• Tumorigenic role of Musashi-2 in aggressive mantle cell lymphoma

  SOX11 is overexpressed in the highly aggressive conventional mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) but rarely in the indolent non-nodal MCL subtype. We performed RNA-seq of SOX11+ and SOX11- MCLs to search for SOX11-regulated genes that contributed to MCL clinical evolution, identifying Musashi-2 (MSI2) stem cell-related gene. By performing RNA-seq upon MSI2 knockdown or inhibition in MCL, we identified MSI2 as a potential target to inhibit drug resistance in aggressive MCLs.
