• Nanobody-Tethered Transposition Allows for Multifactorial Chromatin Profiling at Single-Cell Resolution

  Chromatin states are functionally defined by a complex combination of histone modifications, transcription factor binding, DNA accessibility, and other factors. However, most current single-cell-resolution methods are unable to measure more than one aspect of chromatin state in a single experiment, limiting our ability to accurately measure chromatin states. Here we introduce nanobody-tethered transposition followed by sequencing (NTT-seq), a new assay capable of measuring the genome-wide presence of multiple histone modifications and protein-DNA binding sites at single-cell resolution. NTT-seq utilizes recombinant Tn5 transposase fused to a set of secondary nanobodies (nb). Each nb-Tn5 fusion protein specifically binds to different immunoglobulin-G antibodies, enabling a mixture of primary antibodies binding different epitopes to be used in a single experiment. We apply bulk- and single-cell NTT-seq to generate high-resolution multimodal maps of chromatin states in cell culture and cells of the human immune system, demonstrating the high accuracy and sensitivity of the method. We further extend NTT-seq to enable simultaneous profiling of cell-surface protein expression alongside multimodal chromatin states to study cells of the immune system.

• Genomics of Circulating Tumor Cells

  Comprehensive analyses of cancer genomes in clinical settings promise to inform prognoses and guide the deployment of precise cancer treatments. A major barrier, however, is the inaccessibility of adequate metastatic tissue for accurate genomic analysis in prostate and other cancers. A potential solution is to characterize circulating tumor cells (CTCs), but this requires overcoming multiple technical hurdles. Here, we report an integrated process to isolate, qualify, and sequence whole exomes of CTCs with high fidelity, using a census-based sequencing strategy. Power calculations suggest that mapping of over 99.995% of the territory accessible in bulk exome sequencing is possible in CTCs. We validated our sequencing process in two prostate cancer patients including one for whom we compared CTC-derived mutations to mutations found in a lymph node metastasis and nine cores of the primary tumor. 51 of 73 CTC mutations (70%) were observed in matched tissue. Moreover, we identified 10 early trunk mutations and 56 metastatic trunk mutations in the non-CTC tumor samples and found 90% and 73% of these, respectively, in CTC exomes. This study establishes a foundation for CTC genomics in the clinic.

• KRT17High/CXCL8+ Tumor Cells Display Both Classical and Basal Features and Regulate Myeloid Infiltration in the Pancreatic Cancer Microenvironment

  Recent studies have uncovered the co-existence of basal and classical subtypes within pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). We sought to characterize these intermediary cells using single-cell RNA sequencing of PDAC. We performed subtyping on 18 single-cell RNA sequencing human PDAC samples to identify multiple intermediary subtypes. We compared single-cell profiling of patient-matched blood and tumor samples to measure changes in the local and systemic immune microenvironments in CXCL8-high tumors vs. CXCL8-low tumors. Finally, we leveraged longitudinally patient-matched blood over the course of chemotherapy. In our studies we identified a cluster of KRT17high intermediary cancer cells that uniquely express high levels of CXCL8 and other cytokines which in turn influence the myeloid compartment both locally and systemically. We utilized sequencing data from dbGaP study accession phs002070. In addition to that, we included sequencing from new specimens which are deposited to this submission, consisting of one additional tumor specimen and 5 PBMC samples, sequenced after chemotherapy (longitudinally matched to PBMC samples in phs002071.v1.p1). FASTQ files of these sequencing runs are available through this dbGaP submission.

• Human Blastocyst 10X Single Cell RNA Sequencing

  Recent advances in human blastoids have opened new avenues for modeling early human development and implantation. One limitation of our first protocol for human blastoid generation was relatively low efficiency. We now report an optimized protocol for the efficient generation of large quantities of high-fidelity human blastoids from naive pluripotent stem cells. This enabled proteomics analysis that identified phosphosite-specific signatures potentially involved in the derivation and/or maintenance of the signaling states in human blastoids. Additionally, we uncovered endometrial stromal effects in promoting trophoblast cell survival, proliferation, and syncytialization during co-culture with blastoids and blastocysts. Side-by-side single-cell RNA sequencing revealed similarities and differences in transcriptome profiles between pre-implantation blastoids and blastocysts, as well as post-implantation cultures, and uncovered a population resembling early migratory trophoblasts during co-culture with endometrial stromal cells. Our optimized protocol will facilitate broader use of human blastoids as an accessible, perturbable, scalable, and tractable model for human blastocysts. In addition, this study is the first to use the 10X Genomics platform for human blastocysts, and we anticipate this resource will be widely used by the community as a reference for future studies.

• Systems Analysis of Single-Cell Heterogeneity Underlying Glioma Drug Resistance

  This study characterizes the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms that drive responses of two patient-derived glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) stem-like cells (PD-GSCs) that have distinct phenotypes - one sensitive and another resistant to the drug pitavastatin. This study investigates the differing mechanisms driving drug response in the two PD-GSCs at the single-cell level, and provides an approach that can be used to infer transcriptional regulatory network models, which can then be used to identify mechanisms driving cell-state transitions, e.g., proneural-to-mesenchymal transitions (PMT), which has been observed experimentally and clinically in GBM. The use of these network models enabled the identification of transcription factor and gene targets that perturbed drug-induced PMT through 1) simulations of network dynamics network, and 2) characterization of gene program activities over the time-course response to drug treatment. These results enabled the identification of multiple siRNAs and the drug vinflunine as secondary components that potentiate the efficacy of pitavastatin. This work demonstrates an approach to uncover the transcriptional network topology (TRN) topology of PD-GSCs, and use it to rationally predict combinatorial treatments that block treatment escape and acquired resistance to drugs in GBM.

• Programs, Origins, and Immunomodulatory Functions of Myeloid Cells in Gliomas

  Gliomas are challenging malignancies characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment filled with myeloid cells, whose roles in immune modulation are not fully understood. In this study, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from 85 primary human glioma tumors, related blood samples, and brain tumor organoid models. We found that nearly all glioma-associated myeloid cells express at least one of four distinct immunomodulatory activity programs. These programs include:1. Scavenger Immunosuppressive Program2. Complement Immunosuppressive Program3. Microglial Inflammatory Program4. Systemic Inflammatory ProgramAll four programs are found in both lower-grade and high-grade gliomas and are expressed across various myeloid cell types, whether derived from blood or resident origins. We validated the remarkable plasticity of myeloid cells by showing that the introduction of peripheral blood monocytes into glioma organoid models can induce the emergence of identities resembling microglia, macrophages, and dendritic cells, as well as all four immunomodulatory programs. Our study provides a valuable resource and a new framework for understanding the role of immunomodulatory myeloid cells in gliomas, laying the groundwork for developing effective immunotherapy strategies for glioma patients.

• Immunogenetics of BCG Vaccination and Pediatric Tuberculosis

  We examined genetic variation associated with BCG-induced innate immune responses and susceptibility to pediatric tuberculosis (TB) disease. South African study participants were enrolled at the South African Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative (SATVI) as part of a larger BCG vaccination study. This area has one of the highest rates of TB incidence in the world. Infants were vaccinated with BCG at birth, and a nested case-control study was performed over a 2-year prospective observation period, which resulted in 135 infant TB cases and 521 controls. Whole blood was collected from BCG vaccinated infants at 10 weeks of age. Genotyping was performed with the llumina MegaEx Beadchip, and GWAS was performed against TB disease to assess for associations between genetic variants and susceptibility to TB. In addition, a subset of infants were assessed for BCG-induced innate immune responses (N=198). For these, whole blood was stimulated with BCG or media and flow cytometry was used to measure BCG-induced PDL1, CD40, and cytokine expression in myeloid (mDC) and plasmacytoid (pDC) dendritic cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. Cellular GWAS was then performed to associate genetic variants with BCG-induced immune responses.

• Mind Body Study: A Sub-Study on Psychosocial Factors and Microbiomes of Nurses in the Nurse's Health Study II

  The Mind-Body Study is a sub-study of the Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII) which investigated associations between biomarkers and psychosocial factors. The prevalences of clinically meaningful depressive symptoms, mild-to-severe anxiety symptoms, experiencing major-life discrimination, and food addiction were 19%, 21%, 30%, and 5% respectively. These participants were more likely to have experienced childhood abuse and take psychotropic medications but less likely to have chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension than participants in the larger NHSII cohort. Participants (n = 213, mean age = 60.6) provided one or two separate stool samples for microbiome profiling between 2013 and 2014, and completed two online psychosocial assessments 10 months apart. The participants also completed two 30-day FFQs around the two microbiome collections. There was excellent reproducibility of psychosocial factors over 1 year. Moderate-to-strong positive correlations were observed between markers of distress and between positive psychosocial factors such as mindfulness and optimism. Here, the subjects' metadata including phenotypic and diet covariates have been provided. Microbial DNA sequence data from the stool microbiome collections is provided via Sequence Read Archive (SRA).

• Defining Cutaneous Gene Expression Signatures in Juvenile Dermatomyositis

  Skin inflammation in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) can signal disease onset or flare up and prevent complete disease remission. Our objective was to evaluate JDM cutaneous expression signatures through tape stripping in both lesional and non-lesional skin and as compared to paired blood. A total of 28 JDM and 20 control (CTL) patients participated in the study. All patients had tape strip sampling of non-lesional (NL) skin at enrollment visit. Within our JDM cohort, paired lesional (L) skin was additionally sampled if rash was present. 16/28 of JDM patients had at least one additional skin sample associated with a follow-up (FU) visit (total number of follow-up samples included = 26 NL and 4 L). We identified a common innate immune signature in both lesional and non-lesional JDM skin. Using unsupervised hierarchical clustering of skin expression data, we distinguished a JDM molecular subgroup characterized by a mitochondrial dysfunction signature. In comparison to blood expression data, we determined that skin may more effectively highlight the JDM subgroup characterized by a mitochondrial dysfunction expression signature. Data available include bulk RNA-sequencing data from tape strips and blood of the JDM and control patients from this study.

• Omic Studies in Children's Respiratory and Environmental Workgroup (CREW) Cohorts

  Children's Respiratory Research Workgroup (CREW) is an NIH-funded project consisting of multiple individual U.S. cohorts and three scientific centers working together to identify phenotypes and causes of childhood asthma. CREW will include data from a large number of children and their families, with broad diversity in terms of ethnicity, family characteristics, neighborhoods and geographic locations. One of the primary goals of CREW is to put together sets of data and samples of participating cohorts to identify phenotypes of childhood asthma (i.e. specific subtypes of asthma that can be distinguished by clinical features such as natural history, triggers, exacerbation frequency, concurrent allergies, lung function, sex, etc). Omics studies will include genotyping, methylation, and RNA sequencing. By integrating the DNA genotyping with the expression, immunologic and clinical data, we will identify eQTL, inflammation QTL, and lung function QTL, as well as QTL associated with other biomarkers. Analyses will identify genetic, epigenetic, transcriptional and protein/metabolite profiles that are associated with specific exposures or phenotypes. As we obtain mechanistic insights about personal and early life risk factors, we will connect asthma phenotypes with underlying causes and pathogenic mechanisms to define endotypes of childhood asthma.
