• Ewing and Ewing-like-sarcoma tumoroid biobank reveals distinct drug sensitivities: translocation makes the difference

  Ewing sarcoma (ES) and Ewing-like sarcomas (ELS) are highly aggressive tumors found in soft tissues and bone of mostly children and young adults. Despite being different in many aspects, including genetics, possible cell-of-origin, and pathology, patients with any of these entities all receive the same therapeutic regimen. Currently, there is a lack of preclinical cell models that can predict drug response of these entities in vitro. Here, we describe a pediatric ES and ELS tumor organoid (tumoroid) biobank containing tumoroids with different translocations, including EWSR1::FLI1, EWSR1::ERG, CIC::DUX4, and BCOR-rearrangements. Using histology, whole genome sequencing and RNA sequencing, we demonstrate that these tumoroids retain key properties of their matching patient tumors. In addition, we traced tumor subclones in the tumoroids across patient-matched longitudinal samples, which showed that cellular heterogeneity was maintained. We subsequently performed drug screening on the tumoroid models, which unveiled entity-specific drug sensitivity to various cytotoxic compounds and targeted compounds, including MCL-1 inhibitors for CIC::DUX4 sarcomas. Taken together, this newly established ES and ELS patient-derived tumoroid biobank generates a unique source of material for future basic cancer research and drug-screening.

• Mitochondrial peroxiredoxin 3 is a tractable cancer therapeutic target modulated by SLC7A11

  This study is aimed at elucidating the anti-tumor mechanism and therapeutic potential of the PRX3 inhibitor thiostrepton in mesothelioma by investigating its effects on mitochondrial redox homeostasis, oxidative stress–induced apoptosis, and tumor suppression in preclinical and clinical settings. Mesothelioma explants are treated with thiostrepton and subjected to RNA sequencing under baseline, untreated control, and thiostrepton-treated conditions to characterize treatment-induced transcriptional alterations and identify molecular pathways associated with therapeutic response and resistance.

• Monitoring of leukemia clones in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at diagnosis and during treatment by single-cell DNA amplicon sequencing

  Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by the presence of chromosomal changes, including numerical changes, translocations and deletions, which are often associated with additional single nucleotide mutations. In this study we used single-cell targeted DNA sequencing to determine the clonal heterogeneity of B-cell ALL at diagnosis and during chemotherapy treatment. With a customly designed DNA amplicon library targeting the most common mutations (in 110 genes) present in ALL, we analyzed bone marrow samples and/or blood samples from 12 B-ALL cases at diagnosis. For 4 cases where we detected multiple mutational clones at diagnosis, we also studied blood samples during the first weeks of chemotherapy treatment. This study shows that B-ALL cases with either a ETV6-RUNX1 or a BCR-ABL1 fusion have a low mutational burden, while cases with PAX5 alterations or hyperdyploidy have multiple clones at diagnosis, often with mutations in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway and the RAS signaling pathway. As expected, it can be observed that these clones disappear during treatment of the leukemia with almost no mutated cells left after two weeks of treatment.

• 33 patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) had whole exome sequencing performed. Cells were sorted by FACSAria using CD138, CD19 and CD56 to obtain a pure abnormal plasma cell population. Generated somatic variants were compared to a previous study of 463 multiple myeloma patients.

  Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is a premalignant precursor of multiple myeloma (MM) with a 1% risk of progression per year. Although targeted analyses have shown the presence of specific genetic abnormalities such as IGH translocations, RB1 deletion, 1q gain, hyperdiploidy or RAS genes mutations, little is known about molecular mechanism of malignant transformation. We have performed whole exome sequencing together with SNP array analysis in 33 flow-cytometry separated abnormal PC samples of MGUS patients to describe somatic gene mutations and chromosome changes at the genome-wide level. Non-synonymous mutations (NS-SNVs) and copy number alterations (CNAs) were present in 97.0% and in 63.6% of cases, respectively. Importantly, the number of somatic mutations was significantly lower in MGUS compared to MM (p<10-4) and we have identified 6 myeloma significantly mutated genes which are KRAS, NRAS, DIS3, HIST1H1E, EGR1 and LTB in the MGUS dataset. We also found a positive correlation with increasing chromosome changes and somatic mutations. IGH translocations were present in 27.3% of cases comprising t(4;14), t(11;14), t(14;16) or t(14;20) and were in a similar frequency to MM, which corresponded with primary lesion hypothesis. Data from this study showed MGUS is a genetically comprehensive disease, however overall genetic instability is significantly lower compared to MM.

• EstMB cohort participants sequenced with MGISEQ-2000 platform

  Participants collected a fresh stool sample immediately after defecation using a sterile Pasteur pipette and placed it in a 15 mL conical polypropylene tube. They were instructed to collect the sample as close as possible to their study center visit. Samples were transported and stored at −80 °C until DNA extraction. Microbial DNA was extracted from 200 mg of stool using a QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit (Qiagen), following manufacturer's instructions, after all samples were collected. DNA was quantified using a Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer with a dsDNA Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Library preparation and circularization of equimolarly pooled libraries were done with MGIEasy FS DNA Library Prep Set (MGI Tech Co, Ltd, Shenzhen, China) according to the standard protocol. The sequencing was performed with MGISEQ-2000 High-throughput Sequencing Set (FCL PE150) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (MGI Tech, Shenzhen, China)

• A single-chain derivative of the integrin β1-activating TS2/16 antibody potentiates organoid growth in Matrigel and Collagen hydrogels.

  Culturing epithelial organoids from Adult Stem Cells (ASCs) requires interaction of their β1-integrins with extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as laminin or collagen. Matrigel and BME® (extracts from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm tumor cells grown in the mouse abdomen) are a popular source of ECM proteins. Yet, these preparations are costly and subject to batch-to-batch variation due to animal-derived contaminations. Here, we describe a single chain version (scFv) of antibody TS2/16, allosterically activating integrin β1 function in organoids. Addition of 5 nM of monomeric scFv to organoid medium results in up to 5-fold higher yields of organoids in Matrigel/BME®. In addition, scTS2/16 generates 6-7-fold higher yields of intestinal organoids in collagen-I hydrogel, when grown both in 3D and in 2D. Collagen is well-defined, available at clinical grade, and in combination with scTS2/16, will enable the clinical use of gastrointestinal organoids.

• The Human Gut Microbiome and Recurrent Abdominal Pain in Children

  This project explores the nature of the human intestinal microbiome in healthy children and children with recurrent abdominal pain. The overall goal is to obtain a robust knowledge-base of the intestinal microbiome in children without evidence of pain or gastrointestinal disease, children with functional abdominal pain, and children with abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits (irritable bowel syndrome). Multiple strategies have been deployed to navigate and understand the nature of the intestinal microbiome in childhood. These strategies include 454 pyrosequencing-based strategies to sequence 16S rRNA genes and understand the detailed composition of microbes in healthy and disease groups. Microarray-based hybridization with the PhyloChip and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) probes are being applied as complementary strategies to gain an understanding of the intestinal microbiome from various perspectives. Data collected and analyzed during the HMP UH2 and UH3 Demo project, from a set of healthy and IBS children may enable the identification of core microbiomes in children in addition to variable components that may distinguish healthy from diseased pediatric states. We are currently analyzing the dataset for the presence of disease-specific signatures in the human microbiome, and correlating these microbial signatures with pediatric health or IBS disease status. This study explores the nature of core and variable human microbiomes in pre-adolescent healthy children and children with recurrent abdominal pain.

• NHLBI TOPMed: MWCCS: Sex Differences in the Role of Multi-Omics in HIV-Associated Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis

  The MACS-WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) is a multicenter prospective cohort study of men and women in the U.S. that aims to understand and reduce the impact of chronic health conditions, including heart, lung, blood, and sleep (HLBS) disorders that affect people living with HIV. MWCCS, which currently has over 5000 active study participants, is designed to investigate a spectrum of questions relating to the basic science, clinical science, and epidemiology of HIV infection in the U.S., with a focus on comorbidities among men and women living with HIV. The current substudy, nested within the MWCCS, integrates detailed metabolomics and proteomics data, among other "omics" measures, to improve the understanding of the etiology of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease in women and men with HIV, guide mechanistic studies, and provide insights to more efficient intervention strategies. Data on 374 men are included in the current substudy.
