• A Microwell Platform for High-Throughput Longitudinal Phenotyping and Selective Retrieval of Organoids

  In traditional bulk culture, organoids tend to overlap, hindering the analysis of individual organoid characteristics in a high-throughput manner. Additionally, variations in the local spatial properties of the bulk matrix make it challenging to distinguish whether phenotypic differences between organoids stem from inherent cellular disparities or disparities in the microenvironment. To address these challenges, we have developed a microwell-based technique that facilitates the quantification of image-based parameters for organoids grown from single cells. Furthermore, these organoids can be easily retrieved from their respective microwells for molecular profiling. By employing a deep-learning image processing pipeline, we conducted a comprehensive assessment of various phenotypic traits in two CRISPR-engineered human gastric organoid models. This analysis encompassed growth rates, cellular movement, and apical-basal polarity. Through our investigation, we successfully identified genomic alterations associated with increased growth rate, as well as changes in accessibility and expression patterns correlated with apical-basal polarity. This novel methodology offers a valuable tool for studying organoid behavior at a single-cell level, enabling researchers to gain deeper insights into organoid biology and associated genetic modifications.

• TERT rearrangements are frequent in neuroblastoma and identify aggressive tumors

  Whole genome sequencing detected structural rearrangements of TERT in 17/75 high stage neuroblastoma with 5 cases resulting from chromothripsis. Rearrangements were associated with increased TERT expression and targeted immediate up- and down-stream regions of TERT, placing in 7 cases a super-enhancer close to the breakpoints. TERT rearrangements (23%), ATRX deletions (11%) and MYCN amplifications (37%) identify three almost non-overlapping groups of high stage neuroblastoma, each associated with very poor prognosis. This submission contains all newly sequenced samples only.

• Adipose transcriptome response after a 6-day very-low energy fast in obesity, in the single-arm feeding trial FASTOMICS-6

  Background: Fasting and ketogenic diets have gained popularity due to potential health benefits, in part via autophagy and other protective processes. However, although the basic physiology of fasting is well-established, we lack a deeper understanding of mechanisms on the tissue level and associated metabolome changes, particularly in humans. Method: 4 males and 9 females with severe obesity underwent a very-low-energy in-hospital feeding study (600 kcal/day). Plasma (n=13) and subcutaneous adipose tissue samples (n=12) were collected in the morning before and after 6 days and analyzed by GC-MS/MS and RNA-sequencing, respectively. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and weighted gene co-expression network analysis were used to identify biological pathways and modules of affected genes and their correlation with plasma ketones and metabolites.

• Transcriptome Analysis of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor-like Melanoma

  Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST)-like melanoma is a rare malignancy with overlapping characteristics of both neural sarcoma and melanoma. The genomics of MPNST-like melanoma have not been previously described. In this study, we performed whole transcriptome sequencing analysis in 8 samples from 6 patients diagnosed with MPNST-like melanoma. In correlation with deletion ofxa0SERPINB4xa0in all our samples, there was noxa0SERPINB4xa0mRNA expression in our cohort, suggesting a potential tumor-suppressor role of SERPINB4 in MPNST-like melanomas.xa0HRAS, a gene uncommonly mutated in cutaneous melanomas, was mutated in 2 patients, but with no increased mRNA expression.xa0BRAFxa0mRNA expression, resultant from an atypicalxa0BRAFxa0mutation, was increased in association with an inactivatingxa0NF1xa0mutation. Our data demonstrate the role of alternative mechanisms of RAS pathway activation in MPNST-like melanomas and suggest the potential role of other molecular pathways in its carcinogenesis.

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.

• Unifying recovery dynamics in heterogeneous diseases exemplified by COVID-19

  Studying the recovery dynamics in different diseases poses many difficulties, as patients often display high heterogeneity in their recovery courses. Moreover, most attempts to study disease dynamics focus on disease progression rather than disease recovery mechanisms. To model recovery dynamics, using severe COVID-19 as the example, we align heterogeneous recovery trajectories via a novel computational scheme applied to longitudinally sampled blood transcriptomes. We thus generate pseudotime trajectories, which we then link to cellular and molecular mechanisms based on cell deconvolution analysis and molecular pathway prediction, thus presenting a unique framework for studying recovery processes over time. Specifically, mature neutrophils displayed a gradual decrease during recovery, allowing superior useability for outcome prediction compared to currently used clinical markers. Further, we discovered a recovery-related regulatory change in gene programs resulting in immune rebalancing between interferon and NFkB activity and the restoration of cell homeostasis. We thus propose regulatory mechanisms governing COVID-19 recovery and suggest mature neutrophils and additional gene markers, as novel clinical biomarkers for disease outcome. Overall, we present a novel clinically relevant computational framework for modeling disease recovery, paving the way for future studies of the recovery dynamics in other diseases and tissues.

• A novel recurrent mutation in MITF predisposes to familial and sporadic melanoma

  We conducted whole-genome sequencing of probands from several melanoma families, identifying one individual carrying a novel germline variant (c.G1075A, NM_000248.3; p.E318K, NP_000239.1; rs149617956) in the melanoma lineage-specific oncogene MITF. While the variant cosegregated with melanoma in some, but not all cases in the family, linkage analysis of 31 families subsequently identified to carry the variant generated a LOD score of 2.7 under a dominant model, suggesting E318K as a possible intermediate risk variant. Consistent with this, E318K was significantly associated with melanoma in a large Australian case-control sample, giving an odds ratio (OR) of 2.33, 95% CI 1.21-4.70 (case and control carrier frequency, 0.0165 and 0.0072, respectively; P=0.008). Likewise, it was similarly associated in an independent case-control sample from the United Kingdom (UK P=0.012; combined P=0.0003, OR 2.19, 95% CI 1.41-3.45). In the Australian sample, the variant allele was significantly over-represented in cases with a family history of melanoma (OR 2.95, 95% CI 1.23-6.92), multiple primary melanomas (OR 4.22, 95% CI 1.52-10.91), or both (OR 8.37, 95% CI 2.58-23.80). The variant allele was also associated with increased nevus count (combined P=0.002, OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.42-4.55) and non-blue eye color (combined P=0.008, OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.11-3.81). Functional analysis of E318K showed that MITF encoded by the variant allele had impaired sumoylation and differentially regulated several MITF targets. These data indicate that MITF is a melanoma predisposition gene and highlights the utility of whole-genome sequencing to identify novel rare variants associated with disease susceptibility.

• BPH Tissues for Cell Culture and Analysis - Spatial Transcriptomics Identifies Candidate Stromal Drivers of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

  The study goal was to apply spatial transcriptomics to identify candidate stromal drivers of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Laser microdissection (LCM) with RNA-seq of the stroma adjacent to hyperplastic and budding BPH ducts identified secreted factors including IGF1 and CXCL13. Single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) revealed their co-expression from BPH fibroblasts. Additional studies sought to define similarities to embryonic prostate development, as well as therapeutic applications. Subjects were those who underwent prostatectomy for prostate or bladder cancer, with concurrent BPH, and who consented to use of surplus tissue for research studies. LCM/RNA-seq studies included 5 patients, and scRNA-seq studies included 1 patient. Phenotypic data submitted to this study include patient age, sex, prostate size, and international prostate symptom score (IPSS). Sequencing was done on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (LCM/RNAseq) and Illumina HiSeq X-Ten (scRNA-seq). The data processing pipeline utilized Kallisto (LCM/RNA-seq) and Cell Ranger (scRNA-seq). Data submitted are raw sequencing (Fastq) files.

Here we want to sequence these samples in order to find the causative mutations. As these samples do not carry any of the high-penetrance mutations known to date, finding the genes(s) responsible will offer new insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying predisposition to melanoma.

• RNA sequencing in blood samples of cluster headache patients

  Cluster headache is a relatively rare headache disorder, typically characterized by multiple daily, short-lasting attacks of excruciating, unilateral (peri-)orbital or temporal pain associated with autonomic symptoms and restlessness. To better understand the pathophysiology of cluster headache, we used RNA sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes and pathways in whole blood of patients with episodic (n = 19) or chronic (n = 20) cluster headache in comparison with headache-free controls (n = 20).

• Clonality of circulating tumor cells in breast cancer brain metastases patients

  The incidence of brain metastases in breast cancer (BCBM) patients is increasing. These patients have a very poor prognosis and therefore identification of blood-based biomarkers, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and understanding the genomic heterogeneity could help to personalize treatment options. In this study, DNA from individual CTCs as well as corresponding primary tumors and brain metastases were analyzed by next generation sequencing (NGS) in order to evaluate copy number aberrations and single nucleotide variations (SNVs).

• ScRNA-seq of 6 human FL

  Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent cancer of mature B-cells but carries increased risk of transformation to a more aggressive histology over time. We present here comprehensive profiling both tumor and immune compartments in 6 diagnostic FL biopsies by single-cell RNA sequencing. This confirmed results from 155 FL tumors characterized by mass cytometry (CyTOF) which revealed two distinct evolutionary trajectories with disparate risk of transformation and alternate biologies.

• COVID-19 Challenge Project Single Cell Profiling

  Single-cell profiling of sero-negative and sero-positive humans that were inoculated with SARS-CoV-2. The cellular response during SARS-CoV-2 is profiled using single-cell transcriptomics, CITE-seq and single cell immune profiling, by sampling PBMCs and nasal swabs before and at multiple time points during SARS-CoV-2 infection. This one-of-a-kind cellular map will give unique temporal resolution of how nasal and immune cells respond to SARS-CoV-2 exposure and infection.

• Molecular Attributes Underlying Central Nervous System and Systemic Relapse in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

  Central nervous system (CNS) relapse in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma remains a significant conundrum. While clinical risk scores and biomarkers allow the identification of patients with higher risk of CNS relapse, their predictive ability is low. Herein, we report findings from a comprehensive study examining gene expression changes, mutations and clonal evolution. Firstly, considering diagnostic samples from patients with CNS relapse, systemic relapse or no relapse, we found a striking enrichment of gene expression changes reflecting protein biosynthesis in patients who experienced CNS or systemic relapse. Furthermore, diagnostic specimens of relapsing cases were characterized by low immune infiltrates. The most discriminative gene feature in our analysis was SLAMF1, high expression of which was associated with favourable outcomes. Next, we assessed whether specific gene mutations were associated with subsequent CNS or systemic relapse. Activated B-cell-like genes such as PIM1, CD79B and PRDM1 were more frequently mutated in cases with CNS relapse, whereas TP53, BCL2 and FOXO1 mutations were associated with systemic relapse. Lastly, we performed tumor evolution analysis in five patients, identifying significant clonal divergence that accompanied CNS relapse. In summary, we identified both common biology underlying both CNS and systemic relapse, independent of cell-of-origin (COO), and specific COO-enriched gene mutations that conferred a higher risk of either CNS or systemic relapse. Moreover, we identified a pattern of clonal evolution that can explain difficulties in both predicting and treating CNS relapse.
