• The genomic landscape of recurrent ovarian high grade serous carcinoma: the BriTROC-1 study

  The BriTROC-1 study, spanning 15 centres across the United Kingdom, is a prospective observational project investigating putative causes of relapse in high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC). Potential genomic changes associated with disease recurrence are examined by studying paired tumour samples collected from patients at diagnosis and after relapse after receiving platinum based chemotherapy. Shallow whole genome sequencing and targeted amplicon sequencing are used to identify copy number aberrations and short variants respectively.

• Intercellular nanotube-mediated mitochondrial transfer enhances T-cell metabolic fitness and antitumor efficacy

  We found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) establish nanotubular connections with T cells in a Talin 2 (TLN2)-dependent manner and leveraged these intercellular highways to supply new mitochondria to CD8+ T cells. In this experiment we analyzed the transcriptional profile of T cells co-cultured with MSC containing MSC derived Mitochondria (MitoPositive), T cells co-cultured with MSC not containing MSC derived Mitochondria and control T cells.

• Prevalence of transthyretin amyloidosis in patients with heart failure and no left ventricular hypertrophy

  The study prospectively enrolled patients admitted for HF with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% and LV wall thickness <12 mm. TTR cardiac amyloidosis was diagnosed according to accepted criteria, which include positive cardiac 99-Tc-DPD scintigraphy in the absence of monoclonal protein expansion in blood. In a cohort of patients with HFpEF without LVH, the prevalence of TTR cardiac amyloidosis was 5%. Transthyretin gene sequencing was performed in positive patients.

• Much ado about nothing? - Off-target amplification can lead to false positive bacterial brain microbiome detection in healthy and Parkinson's disease individuals

  Recent studies suggested the existence of (poly-)microbial infections in human brains. Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we tested the hypothesis that there is a bacterial brain microbiome. We evaluated brain samples from healthy human subjects and individuals suffering from PD (olfactory bulb and pre-frontal cortex). We identified off-target amplification as a major confounding factor in low-bacterial/high-host-DNA scenarios.

• GWAS on covid-19 severity and susceptibility in the province of Bergamo, Italy

  This is a case-control GWAS that involved the voluntary recruitment of inhabitants of the Bergamo province via an online questionnaire. We collected detailed clinical data and verified all information through personal interviews. Cases (severe COVID-19; G1) and controls (mild or asymptomatic COVID-19, G2; non-infected, G3) were matched by age, sex and risk factors

• IgCaller

  IgCaller is a python program designed to fully characterize the immunoglobulin (IG) gene rearrangements and oncogenic translocations in lymphoid neoplasms from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. Using a cohort of 331 patients comprising different subtypes of B-cell neoplasms, we demonstrate that IgCaller identifies both heavy and light chain rearrangements providing additional information on their functionality, somatic mutational status, class switch recombination, and oncogenic IG translocations. We provided here IG reads of the previously unpublished WGS.

• Exome sequencing of HCV+ lymphoma

  The present retrospective study aimed to explore the genetic landscape of a well-characterized series of 34 HCV-associated B-cell lymphomas from the observational multicentric ANRS HC-13 Lympho-C Study using tumor and matched germline whole exome sequencing (WES). It reported the first series of VHC-positive lymphoma patients analyzed by WES. Our results provide an overview of the genetic landscape associated to HCV-related B-cell lymphomas and highlight some novel putative candidate genes.

• Mutational analysis of an oligoprogressive sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma treated with an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

  In this study, we describe a patient diagnosed with metastatic sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma that showed a remarkable tumor response to Nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, followed by an oligoprogression. Molecular analysis of the primary tumor in addition to a bone and brain metastasis was performed and we were able to identify driver genetic alterations indicating a possible role in the tumorigenesis process besides some alterations that may be associated with metastasis.

• PELICAN45 RNAseq Dataset

  To better understand the biology of prostate cancer, we performed RNAseq in cancerous (primary and metastatic) and noncancerous tissues in the PELICAN45 cohort. The PELICAN45 RNAseq samples include androgen-deprived metastasis samples from the PELICAN33 consenting rapid autopsy study participants, whose identifiers are A1, A2, etc. The PELICAN45 RNAseq dataset also includes data from non-androgen deprived metastases in an additional 12 men. These samples are identified as PB50, PB133, etc.

• Multiomic Sequencing of Paired Primary and Metastatic Small Bowel Carcinoids

  Small bowel carcinoids are insidious tumors that often have metastatic spread at the time of diagnosis. Limited studies on the mutational landscape of carcinoids indicate that the tumors have a relatively low mutational burden. Loss of chromosome 18q and loss of CDKN1B have been reported in a minority of tumors. The development of targeted therapies will depend upon the identification of mutations that drive the pathogenesis and metastasis of carcinoid tumors.

• RNA sequencing in primary human macrophages overexpressing ETS2

  We investigated an intergenic haplotype on chr21q22, linked to five different inflammatory diseases, and discovered a mechanism that orchestrates macrophage responses during chronic inflammation. We delineated how the risk haplotype increases expression of the causal gene, ETS2, and demonstrated that ETS2 is necessary for inflammatory macrophage effector functions. To establish whether ETS2 is sufficient to drive inflammatory responses, we overexpressed ETS2 in a dose-dependent manner and performed RNA-sequencing to characterise the transcriptional effects.

• Detection of clinically relevant genetic and transcriptomic landscape in DLBCL uniformly treated by R-CHOP

  Recent studies using next-generation sequencing strategies have described the landscape of genetic alterations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). However, little is known about the clinical relevance of recurrent mutations and copy number alterations and their transcriptional footprints. This study examines the frequency, interaction and clinical impact of recurrent genetic aberrations in DLBCL using high-resolution technologies in a large population-based cohort.

• Whole-genome sequencing reveals genomic signatures associated with the inflammatory microenvironments in Chinese NSCLC patients

  Chinese lung cancer patients have distinct epidemiologic and genomic features, highlighting the presence of specific etiologic mechanisms other than smoking. We integrate genomic (whole-genome sequencing, WGS) and transcriptome (polyA-enriched RNASeq) sequencing from 92 NSCLC cases and comprehensively identified the distinct genomic features of Chinese NSCLC patients. We reveal that inflammatory infiltration may contribute to the accumulation of EGFR mutations, especially in never-smokers.
