• We evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation.

  Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming widely used in clinical medicine in diagnostic contexts and to inform treatment choice. While current sequencing technologies have been extremely successful, their reliance on short read lengths necessarily involves some limitations: accurately assaying certain genomic regions and classes of variation can be problematic. Recent advances in throughput and cost have made WGS using the Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION long-read single-molecule sequencer a potential solution to these challenges. Here we evaluate the potential for routine WGS using ONT by sequencing the well-characterised reference sample NA12878 and the genome of an individual with ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome accompanied by severe immune dysregulation, to 82× and 30× respectively. For NA12878, we evaluated single-nucleotide variant (SNV) calls based on data from multiple base-calling algorithms. We demonstrate that phasing metrics from a novel, reference panel-free, long-read-based method can improve variant-calling performance from otherwise modest levels, resulting in a false discovery rate of 7.1% and false negative rate of 8.5%; remaining errors are concentrated near homopolymers and in regions of reduced sequencing coverage. In the clinical sample, we are able to identify and directly phase two non-synonymous de novo variants in SAMD9L, (OMIM #159550) inferring that they both lie on a common paternal haplotype by overlap with parental genotypes at nearby common variants. This work demonstrates that methodological innovation can substantially reduce variant-calling error rates in ONT data, and that with on-going improvements in throughput, base-calling and dedicated long-read-based SNV-calling methodology, ONT offers promise as an option for clinical WGS.

• Colorectal cancer organoids expressing BRAF (fusion) genes

  Fusion genes may be oncogenic drivers and potential targets for personalized therapies in a variety of cancer types. The BRAF gene is frequently involved in oncogenic fusions, with fusion frequencies of 0.2-3% throughout different cancers. BRAF can be fused to a wide variety of genes, however, BRAF fusions rarely occur in the exact same gene configuration, making assessment of the fusion relevance and decision for drug treatment challenging. Here, we devised a colorectal cancer organoid-based platform to functionally characterize diverse BRAF fusions, containing various partner genes (AGAP3, DLG1 and TRIM24). We compared these BRAF fusions with respect to cellular behaviour, downstream signaling activation and response to targeted therapies. We found that 5’ partner choice of BRAF affects cellular localization and intracellular signaling capacities of the fusion genes. The DLG1-BRAF fusion gene showed distinct localization to the plasma membrane and exhibited increased levels of MAPK pathway activation under unperturbed conditions. Furthermore, the different BRAF fusions showed varying sensitivities to the targeted inhibition of ERK and BRAF, with the DLG1-BRAF fusion being the most sensitive. Additionally, RNA-sequencing identified distinct subsets of genes affected by the DLG1-BRAF fusion gene. Importantly, all fusion genes conveyed resistance to the clinically relevant EGFR/HER2/HER4-inhibitor afatinib, suggesting that BRAF fusions should be screened alongside other MAPK pathway alterations to identify mCRC patients amenable to cetuximab treatment. In summary, we developed a platform to efficiently assess molecular and cellular effects of fusion genes, and revealed that differential drug responses and distinct gene expression profiles can be induced by different BRAF fusions .

• RNA-Seq from PMM2-CDG Patients and Healthy Controls

  Besides the predominant neurological involvement of PMM2-CDG patients, around 20% of patient mortality has been linked to severe infections. However, the immunological dysfunction in PMM2-CDG is not well understood. In this study, we aimed to address this gap and study the molecular mechanisms affected behind immunological issues in PMM2-CDG. Primary skin fibroblasts from three PMM2-CDG patients and three healthy controls were stimulated or not with TNF-alpha and their gene expression was assessed by RNA sequencing. The response to TNF-alpha was characterized based on the differential expressed genes and functional enrichment and and compared between PMM2-CDG and healthy individuais. Gene expression alterations and functional enrichment were further validated by several experimental assays by ELISA, Flow Cytometry and Western Blotting.

• Breast cancer women lack normal lifelong immune response after full-term pregnancies

  Immunological tolerance during pregnancy is necessary for women’s bodies to accept the semi-allogenic fetus. Interestingly, “immune evasion”, which consists of some similar immunological changes, was recently proposed as a hallmark of cancer. Looking at these results, it seems paradoxical that increasing number of full-term pregnancies (FTP) reduces the risk of breast cancer in women. Our aim was to use a systems epidemiology approach to investigate this paradox by modelling breast cancer incidence as a function of parity in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) cohort, then testing the mathematical model using gene expression from blood in a subcohort of these women: the NOWAC postgenome cohort. Lastly, we undertook a gene set enrichment analysis for immunological gene sets. A linear trend nicely fitted the dataset showing an 8% decrease in risk for each FTP, independent of stratification on other risk factors and lasting for decades after a woman’s last FTP. However, when we looked at gene expression we found that hundreds of genes showed linear trends in cancer-free controls, but this was not the case in /any/ of the samples from breast cancer cases. In the gene set enrichment analysis, samples consisted of human blood or cord blood and mouse bone marrow or spleen. We found more adaptive gene sets than expected in humans and more innate gene sets than expected in mice. None of the gene sets provided information about the long-term effects of immunological tolerance during pregnancy, but the lack of relevant reductionist experiments hampers our interpretation. We suggest that, after resolution at birth, the immunological tolerance induced by pregnancy augments immune response to cancer development.

• One-step generation of tumor models by base editor multiplexing in adult stem cell-derived organoids

  Recent optimization of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome engineering has resulted in the development of base editors that can efficiently mediate C>T and A>G transitions. Combining these genome engineering tools with human adult stem cell (ASC)-derived organoid technology holds promise for disease modeling. Here, we demonstrate the application of base editors for the generation of complex tumor models in human ASC-derived hepatocyte, endometrial and intestinal organoids. First, using conventional and evolved Cas9-variants, we show efficacy of both cytosine and adenine base editors and use them to model four hot-spot point mutations in CTNNB1 in hepatocyte organoids. Next, we apply C>T base editors in endometrial organoids to insert nonsense mutations in PTEN and demonstrate tumorigenicity even in the heterozygous state. Furthermore, we use cytosine base editors for simultaneous oncogene activation (PIK3CA) and tumor-suppressor inactivation (APC and TP53). To increase the flexibility of base editor multiplexing, we then combine SpCas9 and SaCas9 base editors for simultaneous C>T and A>G editing at individual target sites. Finally, we show the power of base editor multiplexing by modeling colorectal tumorigenesis in a single step by simultaneously transfecting sgRNA’s targeting four cancer genes. Seven clonal organoid lines and one bulk wild-type control sample were paired-end whole-genome sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 system. We sequenced four clonal intestinal organoid lines harbouring engineered TP53 and FBXW7 mutations as well as three lines targeted for oncogenic APC/TP53/PIK3CA/SMAD4 mutations. This WGS showed, as previously reported, a genome-wide increase in C>T mutations due to C>T base editor off-target activity, which is not enriched in predicted off-target regions based on the sgRNA sequences. Furthermore, we confirmed the absence of editing-induced driver mutations and lack of off-target mutational hotspots created by the genomic engineering.

• NextGen Consortium: The iPSCORE (iPSC Collection for Omic Research) Resource for Studying the Impact of Genetic Variation on Molecular and Physiological Phenotypes - Whole Genome Sequence

  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.For detailed information about iPSCORE Collection including samples, methods used to generate the data, and how to access the datasets visit the Frazer lab website.The 222 well characterized iPSC lines that constitute the iPSCORE resource are available, please contact Dr. Kelly A. Frazer (kafrazer@health.ucsd.edu) if you are interested in obtaining the collection.
