• Human Lung Tissue eQTL Study

  Genetic risks underlying respiratory diseases (e.g. COPD and asthma) are carefully studied by large genome-wide association studies (GWAS), where many loci were identified. In the post-GWAS era, the main challenge is to find the causal genes and pathways in GWAS-nominated chromosomal regions and to characterize etiology mechanism. The Lung eQTL Consortium is an international effort to systematically capture the genetic architecture of gene expression regulation in human lung. By studying lung specimens from 1,103 individuals of mostly European ancestry, we report a large number of genetic variants affecting gene expression in the lung, or lung expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). These lung eQTLs will serve as an important resource to aid in the understanding of the molecular underpinnings of lung biology and its disruption in disease.

• High Glucose Macrophage Exosomes Enhance Atherosclerosis by Driving Cellular Proliferation and Hematopoiesis

  In this study, we aimed to explore whether hyperglycemia alters inflammatory properties and microRNA levels in immune cells as well as their extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a mode of intercellular communication in cardiovascular disease. To this end, we isolated EVs from the plasma of diabetic mice as well as from human subjects that included 7 healthy individuals (control), 5 individuals with diagnosed peripheral arterial disease but no diabetes, 9 diabetic individuals with no vascular disease and 5 diabetic subjects with established vascular disease. The human plasma EVs were examined for the content of microRNA and their capacity to communicate signaling when incubated with cultured human THP1 macrophages. Subsequently, the plasma EV-exposed macrophages were examined for total RNA sequencing to identify inflammatory and molecular pathways targeted by the human EVs.

• Microbiota and Complications in Kidney Transplant Recipients

  In this study, we investigated the role of the gut microbiota on the development of complications in kidney transplant recipients. We collected serial fecal specimens from 168 kidney transplant recipients within the first 3 months after transplantation. We performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing of the V4-V5 hypervariable region and examined whether the relative gut abundance of pathogenic bacteria was associated with future development of complications like bacteriuria and urinary tract infections. In a subset of samples, we performed metagenomic sequencing of stool and urine supernatant specimens to determine strain level analysis. We collected an additional 5 fecal specimens from 5 kidney transplant recipients to evaluate the gut microbiota's ability to convert inactive mycophenolic acid glucuronide to active mycophenolic acid and fecal specimens from one kidney transplant recipient several years after transplantation.

• Tracking Therapy-Resistant Alterations in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

  Relapse is currently the major cause of death in children with B-ALL. The goal of this study is to uncover the genetic underpinnings of relapsed B-ALL in the AALL1331 cohort (PMID: 33651090) via whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of matched diagnosis, relapse, and remission specimens. We aim to discover genetic alterations that drive treatment resistance in relapsed tumors. We also aim to investigate the feasibility of detecting residual tumors from remission samples with the ultimate goal to improve risk stratification using NGS-based minimal residual disease (MRD) detection. Here we only report data from patients in remission with the aim of determining MRD. We will submit corresponding data for the diagnosis and relapse components of our cohort in a future version of our study.

• Head and neck tumor organoid biobank for modelling individual responses to radiation therapy according to the TP53/ HPV status

  Head and neck cancers (HNC) represent an extremely heterogeneous group of diseases with a poorly predictable therapy outcome. Here, we have established a comprehensive molecularly and functionally characterized head and neck organoid biobank recapitulating the clinically relevant subtypes of TP53 mutant and human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV 16) infection-driven HNC. Organoids were exposed to radiotherapy and genetically engineered normal and tumor organoids were used for testing the direct functional consequences of TP53-loss and HPV infection. We identified subtype-associated transcriptomic signatures and pathological features, including sensitivity to TP53 stabilization by the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3. TP53 loss-of-function alone was insufficient to promote radiation resistance, whereas HPV 16 oncogenes E6/E7 mediated radiosensitivity via induction of cell cycle arrest.

• RNA sequencing data from glioblastoma primary cell lines treated with indisulam

  This study aimed to develop NovumRNA, a bioinformatics pipeline designed to predict non-canonical tumor-specific antigens (ncTSAs) from human tumor RNA-sequencing data, potentially broadening the target pool for cancer neo-epitope-based immunotherapies. The splicing-modulating drug indisulam was investigated for its potential to induce aberrant transcriptomes, potentially increasing ncTSAs, subsequently predicted by NovumRNA. Four glioblastoma primary cell lines were derived from patient Cavitron Ultrasonic Aspirator (CUSA) material, cultured as neurospheres, and treated with indisulam or vehicle control. RNA was extracted at 6 and 16 hours post-treatment and sequenced using the NovaSeq platform. The resulting RNA-seq data was analyzed with NovumRNA, using healthy brain GTEx samples as controls, to identify and validate ncTSAs induced by indisulam treatment. NovumRNA is available at: https://github.com/ComputationalBiomedicineGroup/NovumRNA.

• 3.5KJPNv2, an allele frequency panel of 3,552 Japanese individuals

  In the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project, we have conducted whole-genome sequencing of nearly 4,000 individuals from a Japanese population, and constructed an allele frequency panel of 3,552 individuals (3.5KJPNv2) after removing genetically related individuals. The 3.5KJPNv2 was constructed by using a standard pipeline including the 1KGP and gnomAD algorithms to reduce technical biases and to allow comparisons to other populations. The 3.5KJPNv2 includes variants in chromosome X and mitochondrial genome as well as autosome. The submitter has changed the access level of this study from controlled-access [Type I] to un-restricted access since 11th, January, 2019. The un-restricted access data ?hum0015.v3.3.5kjpnv2.v1? are available at the NBDC site: https://humandbs.biosciencedbc.jp/en/hum0015-v3. This study does not contain any controlled-access dataset.

• Transcriptomic analysis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL) patients treated on the ALL09 clinical trial

  This study provides comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients treated on the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) ALL09 clinical trial (ACTRN12618001734257). The ALL09 clinical trial is a Phase II single arm study to assess whether substitution of blinatumomab for conventional multi-agent chemotherapy in phase 2 induction leads to improved minimal residual disease negativity rates when compared to the historical AYA ALL trial cohort. Patients treated on this trial were aged 15-40 years, demonstrated morphological diagnosis of CD19 positive B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL), and were negative for Philadelphia chromosome-positive disease. Transcriptomic sequencing was performed as a correlative study to determine assess patients’ genomic subtypes and enable comparison of clinical outcome in blinatumomab treated patients.

• Evolutionary Origins of Recurrent Pancreatic Cancer

  Surgery is the only curative option for patients with Stage I/II pancreatic cancer, nonetheless most patients will recur after surgery and die of their disease. To identify novel opportunities for management of recurrent pancreatic cancer we performed whole exome or targeted sequencing of 10 resected primary cancers and their matched intrapancreatic recurrences or distant metastases. We identified that recurrent disease develops from a monophyletic or polyphyletic origin, and this distinction has potential clinical relevance. In all patients, treatment induced genetic bottlenecks led to a modified genetic landscape and subclonal heterogeneity for driver gene alterations in part due to intermetastatic seeding. In one patient what was believed to be recurrent disease was an independent (second) primary tumor. These findings strongly advocate for routine post-treatment sampling in the management of recurrent pancreatic cancer.

• Assessment of the Toll-like receptor 3 response in hepatocytes

  Toll like receptor 3 (TLR3) is an endosomal pattern recognition receptor (PRR), recognizing double stranded RNA (dsRNA) as a distinct Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) for viral infections. We aim to understand the contribution of TLR3 to the dsRNA response in hepatocytes. The innate immune response of cells of hepatic origin (Huh7, Huh7.5, PH5CH and primary human hepatocytes (PHH)) was analyzed by transcriptome analysis (RNAseq) upon supernatant delivery or transfection of synthetic dsRNA (poly(I:C)). Expression of TLR3 and RIG-I was reconstituted by lentiviral transduction in Huh7 and Huh7.5 cells. Huh7 and Huh7.5 cells, devoid of functional TLR3 expression, did not respond to supernatant delivery of poly(I:C), in contrast to PH5CH and PHH, confirming a high selectivity of this method towards activating TLR3 in all hepatocyte models.

• High-resolution structural genomics reveals new therapeutic vulnerabilities in glioblastoma

  We investigated the role of 3D genome architecture in instructing functional properties of glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) by generating the highest-resolution 3D genome maps to-date for this cancer. Integration of DNA contact maps with chromatin and transcriptional profiles identified specific mechanisms of gene regulation, including individual physical interactions between regulatory regions and their target genes. Residing in structurally conserved regions in GSCs was CD276, a gene known to play a role in immuno-modulation. We show that, unexpectedly, CD276 is part of a stemness network in GSCs and can be targeted with an antibody-drug conjugate to curb self-renewal, a key stemness property. Our results demonstrate that integrated structural genomics datasets can be employed to rationally identify therapeutic vulnerabilities in self-renewing cells.

• ICGC PedBrain: Deep-sequencing of childhood brain tumors.

  Brain tumors constitute the childhood tumors with the highest mortality rates and survival is often associated with severe long-term sequelae due to intensive multimodal treatment regimens. Thus, the PedBrainTumor network aims at the identification of robust biomarkers for clinical management and novel molecular targets for therapeutic interventions. Using massively parallel whole-genome sequencing, and transcriptome and methylome sequencing for subsets of cases, we aim to decipher the molecular causes of medulloblastoma as well as low-grade astrocytoma, and to identify markers to stratify patients for specialized treatment. As the PedBrain network is affiliated with clinical trials in medulloblastoma and pilocytic astrocytoma, validation cohorts for the translation of key findings into clinical settings are readily available.

• Relaxed selection during a recent human expansion

  To better understand and quantify the effect of a recent expansion process on the amount and pattern of mutation load, we screened the ascending genealogies of 3916 individuals from the CARTaGENE cohort (Awadalla et al. 2013) that were linked to the BALSAC genealogical database (http://balsac.uqac.ca/). Using stringent criteria on the quality of genealogical information, we selected (front) individuals whose ancestors were as close as possible to the front of the colonization of Quebec, and (core) individuals whose ancestors were as far as possible from the front. We then sequenced these 102 individuals at very high coverage (mean 89.5X, range 67X-128X) for 106.5 Mb of exomic and UTR regions and contrasted their genomic diversity to detect if sites with various degrees of conservation and deleteriousness had been differentially impacted by selection.

• Lung Adenocarcinoma Promotion by Air Pollutants

  A complete understanding of how environmental carcinogenic exposures promote cancer formation is lacking. Over 70 years ago, tumour formation was proposed to occur in a two step process: an initiating step which induces mutations in normal tissue, followed by a promoter step which triggers cancer development. Recent evidence has revealed healthy human tissue contains a patchwork of clones harbouring oncogenic mutations.This led us to hypothesise that environmental particulate matter measuring PM2.5, known to be associated with lung cancer risk, might promote lung cancer by acting on pre-existing cells harbouring oncogenic mutations in normal lung tissue. Here we use a combination of WGS and RNA-seq of mouse tumours from pollution-exposed mice to examine the impact of particulate matter on mutagenesis and gene expression respectively.

• Clonally resolved single-cell multi-omics identifies routes of cellular differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia

  In this study we generated single-cell whole transcriptome and surface marker expression data for 24 samples of 19 AML patients as well as one healthy donor. We followed the CITEseq protocol with the 3' 10x Genomics scRNAseq kit version 3.1 To increase the coverage of the mitochondrial genome we generated mitochondrial libraries following a protocol termed Optimized 10x. Based on TAPseq, we generated libraries to increase the coverage of selected nuclear SNVs. Exome sequencing was generated for 15 patients to identify nuclear variants. Bulk ATAC was obtained for 9 samples to facilitate the discovery of mitochondrial SNVs. MutaSeq (modified version of SmartsSeq2) was performed on cells from 3 patients. Targeted DNAseq from single-cell derived colonies was generated for 1 patient.

• Genome-wide associations of human gut microbiota variation and implications for causal inference analyses

  Here we use appropriate taxon-specific models along with support from independent cohorts to show association between human host genotype and gut microbiome variation. Using fecal derived 16S rRNA gene sequences and host genotype data from the Flemish Gut Flora Project (FGFP) we identify genetic associations involving multiple microbial traits. Mendelian randomization analysis was able to estimate associations between microbial traits and disease, however in the absence of clear microbiome driven effects, caution is needed in interpretation. This work marks a growing catalog of genetic associations which will provide insight into the contribution of host genotype to gut microbiome. Despite this, the uncertain origin of association signals will likely complicate future work looking to dissect function or use associations for causal inference analysis.

• Screening Protocol and Longitudinal Study of Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes and Cytopenias

  The purpose of this study is to characterize patients with Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes (BMFS) and to track the clinical course of patients with these diseases over time. An exact and comprehensive diagnosis at presentation is essential. Due to the sporadic nature of BMFS (aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, pure red cell aplasia, amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura and large granular lymphocyte leukemia) most diseases have not undergone systematic long-term outcome studies. Individual diseases, combined under the collective entity of bone marrow failure syndromes, frequently overlap and evolve from each other. The frequency of complications, associations with other diseases, and genetic factors such as allelic polymorphisms are not well studied. Some of these syndromes are likely mediated by the cellular immune system. However, while target antigens are likely to be expressed on early hematopoietic cells, their identification has been unsuccessful. Hypothesis: Clinical and epidemiologic studies may, through etiologic clues and intricate laboratory testing, facilitate the understanding of the pathophysiology of BMFS and ultimately lead to implementation of better diagnostic tools and more targeted and rational therapies.

• eMERGE Genome-Wide Association Studies of Obesity (Metabochip)

  The Geisinger eMERGE Genome Wide Association Studies of Obesity (Metabochip) Project is a genetic study of a cohort of primarily Caucasian patients with extreme obesity who have undergone bariatric surgery. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, in which intestinal anatomy is altered, dramatically ameliorates and/or eliminates Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) in 50-80% of patients within hours to days following surgery, well before significant weight loss, in contrast to other types of bariatric surgeries, such as gastric banding, that attenuate insulin resistance as a result of substantial weight loss that occurs over months to years. The molecular mechanism by which RYGB exerts this clinical phenomenon is not known. The goal of this project was to conduct a genome wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic variants associated with amelioration in T2D defined by medication independence. Identifying genetic variants that influence the dramatic resolution of T2D from RYGB may identify novel targets for pharmacological T2D therapies and/or identify patients in whom RYGB may not be effective.

• Next Generation Mendelian Genetics: Congenital Hyperinsulinism

  The NHGRI Next Generation Mendelian Genetics project uses exome resequencing to identify variants in unsolved Mendelian diseases. Congenital Hyperinsulinism (CHI) is the most common cause of hypoglycemia in the newborn and it is due to mutations in 8 different genes (ABCC8, KCNJ11, GLUD1, GCK, HADH, SLC16A1, HNF4A and UCP2). It is a heterogeneous disease with variable onset (birth to adulthood) and a persistent, intermittent, or transient course with possible later conversion to non-autoimmune diabetes. Although mutations in the two subunits of the KATP channel (ABCC8 and KCNJ11) account for 50% of the cases, the other half is still genetically unexplained. CHI can be inherited in a dominant or recessive and can also present as a 'de novo' mutation. We became part of this study when we submitted 8 DNA samples for exome sequencing, from patients with CHI of Caucasian ancestry, which had no mutations identified in ABCC8 or KCNJ1, with the goal to identify new mutations in known genes or new mutations in new genes or genetic variants.

• CSER: Incorporating Genomics into the Clinical Care of Diverse NYC Children (NYCKidSeq)

  The NYCKidSeq program will significantly advance the implementation of genomic medicine, particularly for children, young adults and their families in Harlem and the Bronx. The study will assess the clinical utility of genomic medicine in three broad areas of pediatric disorders, while engaging a range of providers and community advisors to overcome the well-documented barriers to inclusion of underserved and underrepresented populations in genomic research. The study will also include testing, analyzing, and implementing a novel communication tool, Genomic Understanding, Information and Awareness (GUÍA), to facilitate the return of genomic test results. The use of GUÍA will enhance the understanding of these genomic testing results by families, patients, and care providers at all levels of expertise, in two health systems. Healthcare system leadership will be engaged to provide insights into their readiness for genomic implementation. Overall, the NYCKidSeq program will inform the genomics and clinical communities about how to implement genomic medicine in a diverse population in a clinically useful, technologically savvy, culturally sensitive, and ethically sound manner.
