• TARGET Trial Study Cohort

  In a randomized controlled clinical trial, investigators will compare the effects on [18F]-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) from two treatment regimens in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients deemed methotrexate inadequate responders (MTX-IRs). Two common RA treatments will be compared: triple therapy (sulfasalazine, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine) versus tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor (etanercept or adalimumab, plus background methotrexate for all subjects and hydroxychloroquine for subjects who were taking this at screening). Consenting subjects will be screened for eligibility and randomized to a treatment arm. Subjects will be randomized to a treatment arm with either synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) [triple therapy: sulfasalazine, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine] or biologic DMARDs [etanercept or adalimumab, plus background methotrexate for all subjects and hydroxychloroquine for subjects who were taking this at screening]. Once randomized, a baseline visit will be conducted with each subject. Baseline data collection includes questionnaires, disease activity score, and the first FDG-PET/CT imaging. After the baseline at week 0, subjects will visit with their rheumatologist at weeks 6, 12, 18, and 24 for safety labs and further collection of disease activity scores and questionnaires. The second FDG-PET/CT will be performed at week 24. Blood specimens will be collected at weeks 0, 6, 18, and 24 for bioassays. Subject participation will end after the week 24 visit. Patients and care providers will be unblinded. The FDG-PET/CT image readers will be blinded to treatment arm as well as timepoint of image acquisition.

• SARS-CoV-2 escapes CD8 T cell surveillance via mutations in MHC-I restricted epitopes [10x]

  CD8+ T cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 has been implicated in COVID-19 severity and virus control. Here, we identified non-synonymous mutations in MHC-I restricted CD8+ T cell epitopes after deep sequencing of 747 SARS-CoV-2 virus isolates. Mutant peptides exhibited diminished or abrogated MHC-I binding, which was associated with a loss of recognition and functional responses by CD8+ T cells isolated from HLA-matched COVID-19 patients. Our findings highlight the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to subvert CD8+ T cell surveillance through sporadically emerging escape mutations in MHC- I restricted viral epitopes.

• Human Dicer is required for cell-intrinsic immunity to self-dsRNA

  Self-derived double-stranded RNAs (self-dsRNAs) can activate cell-intrinsic innate immune responses and contribute to autoinflammation. We uncover an essential role for human Dicer in innate immune responses to self-dsRNA. Loss of Dicer disrupts RIG-I-like receptor-dependent type I interferon (IFN-I) induction and activation of both the PKR and OAS1-3/RNAse L pathway in conditions where self-dsRNA accumulates, such as cells lacking ADAR1, PNPase, hnRNPC, or MPP8. In contrast, Dicer does not affect the IFN-I response triggered by exogenous dsRNA. Dicer interacts with LGP2, G3BP1, and Staufen1 and loss of these proteins similarly impairs IFN-I induction by self-dsRNAs. Depletion of Dicer and G3BP1 reduces the accumulation of immunostimulatory self-dsRNAs, while depletion of Dicer and Staufen1 prevents MDA5 oligomerization. We conclude that Dicer regulates self-dsRNA availability and sensing, aided by G3BP1 and Staufen1, respectively. Our findings highlight a non-canonical role for Dicer in innate immune activation by self-dsRNA and pinpoint new drug targets in autoinflammatory disorders.

• Research in Adaptive Interests, Skills, and Environment

  The Research on Adaptive Interest, Skills, and Environments (RAISE) project is a coordinated set of pilot studies funded and otherwise supported by the Center for the Study of Adolescent Risk and Resilience (C-StARR) at Duke University. The initial data collection effort (Adolescent T1; 2015; NAHDAP 100737) was conducted by telephone and focused on self-regulation and related skills during early adolescence and their role in early instances of health risk behavior. The survey was comprised of brief measures of constructs in six areas of interest to C-StARR investigators: (1) background and home environment; (2) self-regulation and personality; (3) physical and mental health; (4) problem behaviors; (5) academics and school; and (6) technology use. The representative sample of 2104 adolescents was drawn from the population of fifth through eighth graders enrolled in North Carolina public schools during the 2014-2015 school year.In 2016, a subsample of 395 participants from the Adolescent T1 survey (selected on the basis of having resided within 100 miles of study personnel hubs in Durham, North Carolina and Sylva, North Carolina) participated in an additional home visit study that involved the collection of biological data and measures of cognitive ability and executive functioning. The molecular data made available to dbGaP were obtained from saliva samples that were collected (a) in person from 377 of 395 home visit study participants and (b) by mail from 60 participants who had participated in the Adolescent T1 survey but had not participated in the home visit study. The resulting data file was imputed to a 1000G phase 3 panel and is comprised of N = 437 individuals and 7,193,135 markers after filtering. Data were filtered with MAF ≥ 0.01, HWE p-value > 10-6, and genotype rate > 95%.

• Monocyte and macrophage lipid accumulation results in downregulated type-I interferon responses

  Macrophages are critical components of atherosclerotic lesions and their pro- and anti-inflammatory responses influence atherogenesis. Type-I interferons (IFNs) are cytokines that play an essential role in antiviral responses and inflammatory activation and have been shown to promote atherosclerosis. Although the impact of type-I IFNs on macrophage foam cell formation is well-documented, the effect of lipid accumulation in monocytes and macrophages on type-I IFN responses remains unknown. Here we examined IFN stimulated (ISG) and non-ISG inflammatory gene expression in mouse and human macrophages that were loaded with acetylated LDL (acLDL), as a model for foam cell formation. We found that acLDL loading in mouse and human macrophages specifically suppressed expression of ISGs and IFN-β secretion, but not other pro-inflammatory genes. The downregulation of ISGs could be rescued by exogenous IFN-β supplementation. Activation of the cholesterol-sensing nuclear liver X receptor (LXR) recapitulated the cholesterol-initiated type-I IFN suppression. Additional analyses of murine in vitro and in vivo generated foam cells confirmed the suppressed IFN signalling pathways and suggest that this phenotype is mediated via downregulation of interferon regulatory factor binding at gene promoters. Finally, RNA-seq analysis of monocytes of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients also showed type-I IFN suppression which was restored by lipid-lowering therapy and not present in monocytes of healthy donors. Taken together, we define type-I IFN suppression as an athero-protective characteristic of foamy macrophages. These data provide new insights into the mechanisms that control inflammatory responses in hyperlipidaemic settings and can support future therapeutic approaches focusing on reprogramming of macrophages to reduce atherosclerotic plaque progression and improve stability.

• Therapeutic Trial of Potassium and Acetazolamide in Andersen-Tawil Syndrome

  Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is an ion channel disorder that causes episodes of muscle weakness and potentially life-threatening heart arrhythmias. The majority of ATS cases are caused by a mutation in the KCNJ2 gene, which is linked to potassium channels in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle; other cases are presumed to be caused by an undetermined gene lesion. To date, the treatment for ATS has been largely anecdotal, and no treatments have been formally assessed in a controlled clinical trial. This study will determine whether potassium supplements and/or acetazolamide, which is a diuretic medication, affect the duration of muscle weakness and heart rhythm abnormalities in people with ATS. Participation in this study will last about 11 months. Participants will first attend a 3-day inpatient visit that will include a medical history, physical examination, blood work, heart rhythm testing by an electrocardiogram (ECG) and Holter monitor, strength testing, a health questionnaire, and daily potassium supplementation. Participants will also track the number and length of weakness episodes that they experience while in the hospital. On the last day of the inpatient visit, participants will be provided with multiple bottles containing either potassium or placebo. Participants will then return home for an 18-week treatment period that will consist of six 3-week-long treatments of either potassium or placebo, with the treatment schedule being randomly determined. Upon completing the first 18-week treatment period, participants will attend a second 3-day inpatient visit that will include the same tests and procedures as the first. The only difference will be that participants will receive acetazolamide along with potassium. This will be followed by a second 18-week treatment period that will consist of six 3-week-long treatments of either acetazolamide or placebo. At the end of the second treatment period, participants will fill out another health questionnaire. Throughout both 18-week treatment periods, participants will phone in daily to track any muscle or heart problems. They will also provide blood samples on a weekly basis. At Weeks 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, and 17 of both treatment periods, participants will wear a Holter monitor for 24 hours and then mail it in. A final outpatient visit will occur 8 weeks after the end of the second treatment period and will include heart rhythm testing, muscle strength testing, and blood work.

• 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.

• Proteogenomic discovery of a novel class of cancer antigens by HLA ligandome analysis of colon cancer tissues

  CD8+ T cells recognize peptides displayed by HLA class I molecules on cell surfaces, monitoring pathological conditions such as cancer. Recent advances in proteogenomic analysis of HLA ligandomes have demonstrated that cells present a subset of cryptic peptides derived from non-coding regions of the genome; however, the roles of cryptic HLA ligands in tumor immunity remain unknown. In the present study, we comprehensively and quantitatively investigated the HLA class I ligandome of a set of human colorectal cancer (CRC) and matched normal tissues, showing that cryptic translation products account for a small fraction of the HLA class I ligandome and serve as antigens for patient T cell surveillance against colon cancer.

• FLG LoF Variants are Associated with Atopic Dermatitis in an Early-Life Prospective Cohort

  We performed targeted sequencing of the FLG gene in 438 children with physician-diagnosed Atopic Dermatitis (AD), identified Loss-of-Function (LoF) variants, and tested the association of having one or more of these variants (binary composite) variants with AD-associated outcomes. We found that having a LoF variant was associated with moderate-severe AD compared to mild AD, food allergy at the first visit, and higher transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in both lesional and non-lesional skin in these children.

• CRLF2_sequencing_project_Exomes

  I hope to gain insight into novel genetic aberrations present in these patients that will highlight important pathways that are involved in this subtype of leukaemia. It would be interesting to see if the mutations and pathways that are activated are consistent between the patients, or differences are observed dependent upon whether the patient has the translocation or the PAR1 deletion. Of note is the high association with either numerical gains of chromosome X or numerical/structural abnormalities of chromosome 21 (Down syndrome, iAMP21) in patients with CRLF2 deregulation. I hope to find abnormalities linking chromosomes X and 21 to CRLF2 deregulation in BCP‐ALL. By including the three patients that are normal for CRLF2, but have consistent genetic abnormalities found in the experimental cohort, I expect to find genetic differences between these two groups that will help us to identify novel molecular targets specific to CRLF2 deregulation.

• Mitochondrial Abnormalities in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

  Mitochondrial DNA structural variation is one proposed indicator of mitochondrial dysfunction. The large common deletion of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) increases with aging across multiple brain regions. We found other large deletions of mtDNA in brain at levels comparable to the common deletion (PMID: 30869147). Since mtDNA molecules replicate independently of nuclear division, the mtDNA copy number is a measure of mitochondrial health; levels are negatively correlated with age and all-cause morbidity. Complex I activity is another functional measure of mitochondria. We previously published a subset of this data from DLPFC (PMID: 29594135) for three indicators (common deletion, mtDNA copy number, Complex I activity). For this study, four indicators (common deletion, large deletions, mtDNA copy number, Complex I activity) were measured in four brain regions from subjects with schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) and compared to controls. The four brain regions were: the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, superior temporal gyrus, primary visual cortex (V1), and nucleus accumbens.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

• EATL-II STUDY

  Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL), a rare and aggressive intestinal malignancy of intraepithelial T lymphocytes, comprises two disease variants (EATL-I and EATL-II) differing in clinical characteristics and pathological features. Here we report findings derived from whole exome sequencing of 15 EATL-II tumor-normal tissue pairs. The tumor suppressor gene SETD2 encoding a non-redundant H3K36-specific trimethyltransferase is altered in 14/15 cases (93%), mainly by loss-of-function mutations and/or loss of the corresponding locus (3p21.31). These alterations consistently correlate with defective H3K36 trimethylation. The JAK/STAT pathway comprises recurrent STAT5B (60%), JAK3 (46%) and SH2B3 (20%) mutations, including a STAT5B V712E activating variant. Additionally, frequent mutations in TP53, BRAF and KRAS are observed. Conversely, in EATL-I, no SETD2, STAT5B or JAK3 mutations are found, and H3K36 trimethylation is preserved. This study describes SETD2 inactivation as EATL-II molecular hallmark, supports EATL-I and -II being two distinct entities, and defines potential new targets for therapeutic intervention.
