• Selective advantage of mutant stem cells in human clonal hematopoiesis is associated with attenuated response to inflammation and aging

  In this study we characterised the consequences of DNMT3A- and TET2-mutations in human clonal haematopoiesis. We screened 195 bone marrow samples for mutations by targeted DNA sequencing, and sequenced 99 paired peripheral blood samples to compare mutation detection between bone marrow and blood. We performed single-cell analysis with TARGET-seq+ on 13 samples (4 controls and 9 clonal haematopoiesis samples), which combines single-cell genotyping for targeted mutations with whole transcriptome sequencing on FACS sorted cells. Single-cell genotyping and transcriptomes were sequenced separately and linked by common single-cell identifiers.

• Single-cell proteogenomics of MDS upon AZA

  To study the evolution of the clonal molecular and cellular architecture of MDS upon the treatment with AZA, we performed scDNA-seq of an amplicon panel of 53 genes recurrently mutated in myeloid malignancies, as well as typically lost or gain DNA regions, and scProt-seq of 42 cell-surface proteins to provide a simultaneous landscape of the genetic setting and immunophenotype using the Tapestri platform (MissionBio). We sequenced thousands of cells from 14 MDS patients, where paired bone marrow samples were obtained at the timepoint of diagnosis and after AZA treatment.

• Subclonal somatic copy number alterations emerge and dominate in recurrent osteosarcoma

  Multiple large-scale genomic profiling efforts have been undertaken in osteosarcoma to define the genomic drivers of tumorigenesis, therapeutic response, and disease recurrence. The spatial and temporal intratumor heterogeneity could also play a role in promoting tumor growth and treatment resistance. Here, we conducted longitudinal whole-genome sequencing of 37 tumor samples from eight patients with osteosarcoma that relapsed or became refractory to initial therapy. We found that the chemoresistant population in recurrent osteosarcoma is subclonal at diagnosis, emerges at the time of primary resection due to selective pressure from neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and is characterized by unique oncogenic amplifications.

• Organ_maturation_in_preparation_for_birth__Peds_RFA__to_develop_a_tissue__resource_and_a_single_cell_atlas_of_organ_development_and_maturation_for__dissemination_among_the_scientific_and_clinical_community__RNA

  Knowledge about abnormal organ development is important to understand pathology and to develop novel treatment approaches for individuals with congenital and acquired disease. Most of our current understanding is based on examination of tissues from the embryo and early foetus, collected from women undergoing termination of pregnancy in the first trimester (third) of pregnancy. There is very little known about normal and abnormal organ development from a developmental perspective during the crucial last two-thirds of pregnancy when much remodelling of foetal tissues occurs. This study will generate a single-cell atlas of late-foetal lungs, blood, heart, bone and immune organs.

• T-cell reconstitution after reduced dose ATLG induction in kidney transplant patients

  We analyzed the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from ten kidney transplant recipients. Five out of the ten kidney transplant recipients received ATLG while the other five recipients received basiliximab as induction therapy. TCR repertoires of CD4+ and CD8+ positive T-cells were assessed prior to transplantation and within the first month after transplantation as well as at three- and 12-months post-transplant. In addition, the pre-formed alloreactive TCR repertoire for each kidney transplant recipient was identified using mixed lymphocyte reaction and donor reactive T-cells were subjected to TCR beta sequencing. This dataset comprises a total of 106 samples. NGS TCR beta libraries of all samples were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 and raw sequencing data (in the form of fastq files) as well assembled clonotypes and their counts (in the form of clonotype tables) are provided.

• Adult-type Granulosa Cell Tumour of the Ovary RNA Sequencing

  We analyzed 34 AGCTs (19 primary and 15 recurrent) and the KGN cell line by RNA-Seq. Our cohort comprised of 3 AGCTs WT for FOXL2, 28 heterozygous and 3 homo/hemizygous for the pathogenic variant. Fresh-frozen AGCTs were selected from OVCARE’s Gynecological Tissue Bank in Vancouver, Canada for bulk RNA-seq. RNA was extracted from frozen tissue and sections adjacent to the scrolls submitted for RNA-seq were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to evaluate tumour cell purity. Cases with >80% tumour cell purity were selected for sequencing with the majority of cases (29 of 34 patients) containing >90% tumour cells. Ribodepleted RNA libraries were constructed and paired-end sequencing (125 base pair reads) was performed.

• Dataset for the Pearl study

  Biomarkers to identify patients without benefit from adding everolimus to endocrine treatment in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are needed. We report the results of the Pearl trial conducted in five Belgian centers assessing 18F-FDG-PET/CT non-response (n=45) and ctDNA detection (n=46) after 14 days of exemestane-everolimus (EXE-EVE) to identify MBC patients who will not benefit. Metabolic non-response rate was 66.6%. Median PFS in non-responding patients (using as cut-off 25% for SUVmax decrease) was 3.1 months compared to 6.0 months in those showing response (HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.40-1.50, p=0.44). Difference was significant when using a “post-hoc” cut-off of 15% (PFS 2.2 months vs 6.4 months). ctDNA detection at D14 was associated with PFS: 2.1 months vs 5.0 months (HR-2.5, 95% CI: 1.3-5.0, p=0.012). Detection of ctDNA and/or the absence of 18F-FDG-PET/CT response after 14 days of EXE-EVE identifies patients with a low probability of benefiting from treatment. Independent validation is needed.

• Distinct embryonic phylogenies and driver events of infant Wilms tumor - DNA

  Cancers of adults typically arise through progressive rounds of clonal diversification and intratumoral selective sweeps which generate a long mutational trunk with shorter subclonal branches. Here, we investigated whether tumors of young children exhibit the same phylogenetic configuration. We studied three infants, including two newborns, with the childhood kidney cancer, Wilms tumour, through whole genome sequencing of bulk tissues, of single cell derived organoids, and of microdissections. All three cancers exhibited unusual driver events, with tumours of newborns harbouring FOXR2 rearrangements, delineating a distinct variant of Wilms tumour. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that tumors were seeded in an early, possibly confined window of development. Unusually, following seeding there was extensive polyclonal diversification with little evidence of clonal sweeps, leading to a distinct phylogenetic configuration more reminiscent of normal tissues rather than of adult cancers. These findings indicate that some childhood cancers may diversify via unorthodox phylogenetic pathways.

• Somatic mutation and clonal evolution normal breast tissue WGS

  Cancer is a genetic disease caused by an accumulation of mutations, however many of these mutations have been identified in pathologically normal tissue. We aim to use laser-capture microscopy (LCM) to sample individual clones from breast tissue to identify whether cancer-associated mutations appear in this normal tissue, assess the mutational burden present, and identify the mutational processes causing these mutations. We will sample from a wide age range of individuals (<20 to >70 years old) to determine whether these processes differ in pre- and post-menopausal women. We will also be comparing the tissue from healthy individuals (samples from breast reduction surgery) to those at elevated risk of breast cancer (mastectomy from BRCA1/2 patients) and those who have breast cancer (adjacent normal, distal normal, and tumour tissue from mastectomy). This will allow us to determine how these processes are different between these groups of individuals, and gain insight into the earliest stages of tumour development. . This dataset contains all the data available for this study on 2023-03-09.

• Alloreactive T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire in kidney transplantation

  We analyzed the T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires from twelve kidney transplant recipients. Six out of the twelve kidney transplant recipients experienced a cellular rejection after kidney transplantation. TCR repertoires of CD4+ and CD8+ positive T-cells were assessed prior to transplantation and after transplantation at time of allograft biopsy using RNA based T-cell receptor beta next generation sequencing (NGS). In addition, the pre-formed alloreactive TCR repertoire for each kidney transplant recipient was identified using mixed lymphocyte reaction and donor reactive T-cells were subjected to TCR beta sequencing. In two out of the six patients with cellular rejection the TCR repertoire of graft infiltrating T-cells was additionally captured. This dataset comprises a total of 98 samples. NGS TCR beta libraries of all samples were sequenced on an Illumina NextSeq 500 and raw sequencing data (in the form of fastq files) as well assembled clonotypes and their counts (in the form of clonotype tables) are provided.

• Somatic mutant selection is altered by prior NOTCH1 mutation in ageing esophageal epithelium

  Authors: Charlotte King1, Emilie Abbie1, Joanna C. Fowler1, Irina Abnizova1, Roshan K. Sood1, Swee Hoe Ong1, Michael W. J. Hall1,2, Faye Lynch-Williams3, Benjamin A. Hall4, Philip H. Jones1,2,5 Abstract: In cancer evolution, genome alterations often occur in a specific order, implying selection depends on the prior clonal genotype 1-3. It is unknown if similar constraints operate in normal epithelia. Here, we mapped mutations in normal mid-esophagus of aged UK subjects. Mutant NOTCH1 clones colonized most of the epithelium by age 60 and above 70 tissue was saturated with mutants under strong competitive selection. Mutant TP53 was more strongly selected in donors over 60 years of age. Samples predominantly mutant for NOTCH1 showed increased selection of NOTCH2 mutants and weaker selection of mutant TP53 compared with samples that were mostly NOTCH1 wild type. In mouse esophagus lacking Notch1 we observed strong selection of mutant Notch2 and other genes not selected in wild type esophagus. In normal ageing esophagus, the first driver mutation may change the trajectory of subsequent somatic evolution by altering mutant selection.

• Germline TP53 mutations undergo copy number gain years prior to tumor diagnosis

  Whole-genome sequence (WGS) analysis of tumors from 22 TP53 mutation carriers. We observed somatic mutations affecting Wnt, PI3K/AKT signaling, epigenetic modifiers and homologous recombination genes as well as mutational signatures associated with prior chemotherapy. We identified near-ubiquitous early loss of heterozygosity of TP53, with gain of the mutant allele. This occurred earlier in these tumors compared to tumors with somatic TP53 mutations, suggesting the timing of this mark may distinguish germline from somatic TP53 mutations. Phylogenetic trees of tumor evolution, reconstructed from bulk and multi-region WGS, revealed that LFS tumors exhibit comparatively limited heterogeneity. Overall, our study delineates early copy number gains of mutant TP53 as a characteristic mutational process in LFS tumorigenesis, likely arising very early in life or in utero.years prior to tumor diagnosis.

• Single cell transcriptional evolution of myeloid leukaemia of Down syndrome – scRNA

  Abstract: Children with Down syndrome have a 150-fold increased risk of developing myeloid leukaemia (ML-DS). Unusually for a childhood leukaemia, ML-DS arises from a preleukaemic state, termed transient abnormal myelopoiesis (TAM), and via a conserved sequence of mutations. Here, we examined the relationship between the genetic and transcriptional evolution of ML-DS from a rich collection of primary patient samples through single cell mRNA sequencing, complemented by phylogenetic analyses in progressive disease. We distilled the transcriptional consequence of each genetic step in the evolution of ML-DS, showing that TAM-defining GATA1 mutations account for most of the ML-DS transcriptome, including those of progressive disease. This transcriptional backbone may thus represent a common vulnerability in ML-DS. We extracted the transcriptional difference between TAM and ML-DS which, unexpectedly, reflected features shared across childhood leukaemia. Our approach delineates the transcriptional evolution of ML-DS and provides an analytical blueprint for distilling consequences of mutations directly from patient samples.

• A spatiotemporal cancer cell trajectory underlies glioblastoma heterogeneity

  Abstract: Cancer cells display highly heterogeneous and plastic states in glioblastoma, an incurable brain tumour. However, how these malignant states arise and whether they follow a tractable cellular trajectory across tumours is poorly understood. Here, we generated a deep single cell and spatial multi-omic atlas of human glioblastoma that pairs transcriptomic, epigenomic and genomic profiling of 12 tumours across multiple regions. We identify that glioblastoma heterogeneity is driven by spatially-patterned transitions of cancer cells from developmental-like states towards those defined by a glial injury response and hypoxia. This cancer cell trajectory regionalizes tumours into distinct tissue niches and manifests in a conserved manner across tumours as well as genetically distinct tumour subclones. Moreover, using a new deep learning framework to jointly map cancer cell states and clones in situ, we show that tumour subclones are finely spatially intermixed through glioblastoma tissue niches. Finally, we show that this cancer cell trajectory is intimately linked to myeloid heterogeneity and unfolds across regionalised myeloid signalling environments. Our findings define a stereotyped trajectory of cancer cells in glioblastoma and unify glioblastoma tumour heterogeneity into a tractable cellular and tissue framework.

• An atlas of the developing human fetal spine

  The primitive streak emerges during the 14th day of human development and establishes dorsoventral and antero-posterior (craniocaudal) body axes. Segmentation along the craniocaudal axis is governed by Hox genes; four clusters of transcription factors whose 3’ to 5’ expression correlates with position along the axis. The precise utilisation of Hox genes in different cell types remains incompletely characterised in humans. In this study, we applied single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to contiguous regions of the human fetal spine between the 5th and 13th post-conception weeks. We built a detailed developmental atlas to examine the segmental expression of Hox genes across different cell types, observing that the Hox code was displayed by all anatomically fixed cell types along the craniocaudal axis. By contrast, mature derivatives of neural crest cells retained the anatomical Hox code of their origin within the crest, a pattern reproduced across neural crest derivatives in other human fetal organs. These findings indicate that scars of Hox gene expression persist in crest cells which may serve as barcodes of neural crest migration.

• Single-cell genome-wide concurrent haplotyping and copy-number profiling through genotyping-by-sequencing

  scGBS is a single-cell sequencing-based methodology to haplotype and copy-number profile single cells. Genomic size and complexity is reduced through restriction enzyme digestion and DNA is genotyped through sequencing of the restriction fragments. scGBS data serves as the input for haplarithmisis, an algorithm we previously developed for SNP array-based single-cell haplotyping (Zamani Esteki et al., 2015). We established technical parameters and developed an analysis pipeline enabling accurate concurrent haplotyping and copy-number profiling of single cells with the use of a HapMap cell line pedigree (7 single cells). A clinical validation of the methodology with a total of 14 single blastomeres and 3 trophectoderm samples biopsies from human preimplantation embryos for 6 PGT-M families were processed with scGBS and were previously haploptyped via SNP array.

• Somatic mutations in facial skin from countries of contrasting skin cancer risk

  The incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer is 17-fold lower in Singapore compared to the UK1, despite Singapore receiving 2-3 times more year-round ultraviolet radiation (UV)2,3. The ageing epidermis of the skin comprises competing somatic mutant clones4,5, from which such cancers develop. We question if differences in keratinocyte skin cancer incidence are reflected in the mutational landscape by comparing ageing facial epidermis from donors of Singapore and the UK. We find UK skin to be a highly competitive, densely mutated landscape with 4-fold greater mutation burden compared to Singaporean skin and differences in clonal selection by country. We disproportionately observe multiple features common to keratinocyte skin cancers6,7,8 in UK skin, such as UV mutagenesis, copy number aberration and hotspot mutations (in particular TP53 R248W). We conclude that keratinocyte skin cancer incidence is reflected in the somatic clones of non-cancerous epidermis. Finally, we re-analyse squamous cell carcinoma exomes from Korea9 to show, even in low incidence populations, carcinogenesis is driven by UV damage.
