Genomics of Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer Progression

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) accounts for nearly 15% of all patients with lung cancer. Though the response to initial therapy is favorable in many patients, a majority of patients go on to develop recurrent disease which is very difficult to treat. The response rates to chemotherapy are very low and most patients succumb to relapsed SCLC within a few months. Virtually no progress has been made in the treatment of SCLC in the last three decades. In order to better understand the molecular alterations in relapsed SCLC, we have generated exome and RNA sequence from normal, primary tumor and relapse tissues of SCLC patients.

Whole genome sequencing data of pediatric hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Hypodiploid acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a rare subtype of B-cell ALL characterized by chromosome number < 45 , encompassing near-haploid (24–29 chromosomes) and low-hypodiploid (30–39 chromosomes) subgroups. These subgroups display distinct genetic landscapes, including Ras and receptor tyrosine kinase pathway alterations in near-haploid ALL, and frequent IKZF2, RB1, and germline TP53 alterations in low-hypodiploid ALL. Clinically, hypodiploid ALL is associated with dismal prognosis, with 5-year overall survival rates often between 50-70% in children and markedly worse in adults. Despite advances in risk stratification and MRD-guided therapy, allogeneic stem cell transplantation remains the current standard recommendation for affected patients.

Exome-sequencing of two UFM individuals and their Fragile X family members.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a monogenic neurodevelopmental disease often caused by a CGG triplet expansion in the 5’UTR of the FMR1 gene, which results in DNA methylation of the FMR1 promoter and its transcriptional silencing. Exceptional healthy individuals named "unmethylated full mutation (UFM)" have been identified in the families of FX patients. They carry an expanded CGG repeat, but show normal FMR1 epigenetic configuration and expression. In this study we performed exome-sequencing of two UFM individuals and their family members to identify possible genetic mutations responsible for the escape of silencing in the unmethylated full mutation (UFM) phenotype.

The Chromatin Landscape of Pathogenic Transcriptional Cell States in Rheumatoid Arthritis

In this study, we characterized 24 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue chromatin classes (i.e., cell states defined by chromatin accessibility) across 5 cell types (T, B/plasma, myeloid, stromal, and endothelial). We also investigated the transcription factors that may regulate these chromatin classes, their connections to transcriptional cell states in a proposed superstate model, and their interplay with RA pathology through associations with histological parameters and risk variants.As part of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership (AMP) network, we obtained 18 synovial tissue samples from 14 RA and 4 osteoarthritis (OA) patients for this study. Samples were collected from 7 clinical sites. We performed a 10x single cell ATAC-seq experiment on each sample.We further collected synovial tissue samples from 11 RA patients and 1 OA patient from 2 clinical sites; each sample was used for a 10x single cell multimodal ATAC and Gene Expression experiment.For additional support of the proposed superstate model, we also collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 4 RA patients, sorted for 4 populations (CD4+CD127-CD25hi Tregs, CD4+CD127-CD25int Tregs, CD4+CD25-PD1+CXCR5- TPH, CD4+CD25-PD1+CXCR5+ TFH), tagged each population with a hashing antibody, and pooled populations for one multimodal sequencing run.The FASTQ files are available for controlled access via dbGaP. Additional data can be found on Synapse.The presence of pooled subjects inflates the automatically-generated subject count; the actual consented subject count for this data is 34.

Genome-Wide Approach to Measure Variant-Based Heritability of Drug Outcome Phenotypes

Current pharmacogenetic approaches often use a few large-effect alleles to predict drug outcomes. However, many drug outcome phenotypes are determined by complex pathways that may be influenced by common single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) across the genome. We ascertained how much variation in drug response is explained by common SNVs for pharmacokinetic (drug levels) and pharmacodynamic phenotypes (highest creatinine) for 4 drugs: vancomycin, gentamicin, cyclosporine and tacrolimus.

Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA): African American Family GWAS

COGA is a family study of alcoholism, in which the subjects have been drawn from the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA), a large, ongoing family-based study that includes subjects from seven sites around the US. COGA has gathered detailed, standardized data on study participants, including diagnostic and neurophysiological assessments. This project has already proved successful in identifying several genes that influence the risk for alcoholism and neurophysiological endophenotypes, which have been independently replicated. COGA data were included as part of two Genetic Analysis Workshops, and the phenotypes are familiar to the genetics community. Alcoholic probands were recruited from treatment facilities, assessed by personal interview, and after securing permission, other family members were also assessed. A set of comparison families was drawn from the same communities as the families recruited through an alcoholic proband. Assessment involved a detailed personal interview developed for this project, the Semi-Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA), which gathers detailed information on alcoholism related symptoms along with other drugs and psychiatric symptoms. Many participants also came to the laboratories for electroencephalographic studies. Neurophysiological features that have been shown to be useful endophenotypes for which we have linkage and in some cases association results are included on a subset of the case-control sample: the beta power of the resting electroencephalogram (EEG), the P3(00) amplitude of the visual event-related potential (ERP), and the theta and delta event-related oscillations (EROs) underlying the P3. As part of COGA, a set of informative African American families were selected to have Genome-Wide Association data obtained within families. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina Omni2.5_080814_1 chip to genotype 3,438 subjects selected from densely affected families. Genotyping was performed at CIDR. This sample complements a set of densely affected European American families previously made available under dbGaP study accession phs000763. In addition, exome sequencing data on a subset of individuals with GWAS were added in version 2.For version 3, a subset had 30X Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) as part of the NIDA Sequencing Initiative. The subset contained two distinct sets: Sibling pairs where one sibling had at least two dependence diagnoses in the set (alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, and opioid), and the other had none, and non-related Case-Control pairs matched for age and ethnicity where the cases had alcohol and at least 2 other dependence diagnoses and controls had none. After sequencing, some sibling pairs are re-classified as half siblings, Three VCF files (small variants, structural variants, and copy number variations) are provided. Additional substance abuse variables are made available in version 3. We note that the full sample data are deposited in four dbGaP submissions and the sequenced samples are split across all four: CIDR: Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism Case Control Study (phs000125). GWAS data on cases (primarily probands) and controls drawn from the families. Families with highest density of alcohol dependence and/or extreme event-related oscillation data (phs000763). GWAS data on 119 extended families of European descent are available here, along with extensive documentation. Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism (COGA): African American Family GWAS (phs000976). GWAS data on all available COGA families of African descent are available. COGA: Smokescreen GWAS (phs001208). GWAS data on all remaining COGA DNA samples, primarily of other racial background, were genotyped on the Smoke Screen array. A listing of all sequenced pairs is provided in the documentation to facilitate the merging of these samples.

Correlative Studies for Protocol #14-C-0059: T Cells Expressing an Anti-GD2 Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Patients with GD2+ Solid Tumors, a Collaboration with CIMAC-CIDC

This study is a retrospective correlative analysis of immune cell phenotypes in samples from a Phase I clinical trial (NCT02107963) of GD2 CAR-T cells (GD2-CAR.OX40.28.z.iC9) in children and young adults with osteosarcoma and neuroblastoma. The study was a 3+3 dose-escalation study with four dose levels (1 x 10(5) transduced T cells/kg; 1 x 106 transduced T cells/kg; 3 x 106 transduced T cells/kg; and 1 x 107 transduced T cells/kg). Apheresis and final manufactured GD2 CAR-T product samples were analyzed by bulk RNA sequencing and ATAC sequencing. The patients were stratified into good CAR-T expanders (peak CAR-T expansion >1000 GD2 CAR copies/100ng DNA) and poor CAR-T expansion (peak CAR-T expansion Increased naïve T cell subsets in baseline apheresis are associated with patients who experienced good CAR T cell expansion A T cell exhaustion signature was observed in the manufactured GD2 CAR-T product and may have contributed to lack of efficacy observed in this trial Increased myeloid-derived suppressor cell (MDSC) signatures were observed in patients with poor CAR-T expansion CAR-T product in good expanders displayed increased AP-1 factor transcription factor motifs, such as BATF, JUN, and FOS Data provided in dbGaP for this study include: Bulk RNA-Seq data for 11 pre-treatment peripheral blood and 11 GD2 CAR-T product from 14 patients. ATAC sequencing of 22 peripheral blood samples and 5 GD2 CAR-T products from 14 patients.

Impact of Respiratory Virus Infections and Bacterial Microbiome Shifts on Lymphocyte and Respiratory Function in Infants Born Prematurely or Full Term

Public health importance: Babies born preterm, approximately 1 out of every 9 live births in the United States, have significant respiratory morbidity over the first two years of life, exacerbated by respiratory viral infections. Many (<50%) return to pediatricians, emergency rooms and pulmonologists with symptoms of respiratory dysfunction (SRD): intermittent or chronic wheezing, poor growth and an excess of upper and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). SRD correlate inversely with gestational age and weight at birth and is more common in those with chronic lung disease of prematurity, yet its incidence and severity varies widely among both the prematurely born and those born at term. There is evidence from clinical studies and animal models that risks of LRTI and recurrent wheezing is influenced by gut and respiratory flora and by T cell responses to infection. Information gained from this study will be used to identify characteristics, risk factors and potential mechanisms for early and persistent lung disease in children born at term and born preterm. This Clinical Research Study will investigate the relationships between sequential respiratory viral infections, patterns of intestinal and respiratory bacterial colonization, and adaptive cellular immune phenotypes which are associated with increased susceptibility to respiratory infections and long term respiratory morbidity in preterm and full term infants. We hypothesize that the timing and acquisition of specific viral infections and bacterial species are directly related to respiratory morbidity in the first year of life as defined by SRD and by measures of pulmonary function. We hypothesize that cellular and molecular immuno-maturity are altered due to factors presented by premature birth in such a way as to promote chronic inflammatory and cytotoxic damage to the lung, with subsequent enhanced, damaging responses to infectious agents and environmental irritants. Our preliminary studies demonstrate both feasibility and expertise in mutiparameter immunophenotyping of small volume peripheral blood samples obtained from premature infants including gene expression arrays of flow cytometry sorted cells. We will use new technologies for known viral identification, as well as high-throughput metagenome sequencing of RNA and DNA virus like particles (VLP) to be used for viral discovery in infant respiratory sample and use of high-throughput pyrosequencing (454T) of bacterial 16S rRNA to determine shifts in bacterial community structure, occurring in pre-term (PT) as compared to full term (FT) infants, over the first year of life. Finally, we present statistical approaches to stratify disease risk predictors using multivariate logistic regression modeling approaches. We propose to evaluate T cell phenotypic and functional profiles relative to viral and predominant bacterial exposures according to highly complementary, but independent, Specific Objectives. Objective 1: To determine if viral respiratory infections and patterns of respiratory and gut bacterial community structure (microbiome) in prematurely born babies predict the rate and degree of immunologic maturation, and pulmonary dysfunction, measured from birth to 36 weeks corrected gestational age (CGA). Objective 2: To determine the relationship between respiratory viral infections and disease severity up to one year CGA, and the lymphocyte (Lc) phenotypes documented at term gestation (birth for term infants and 36 wks/NICU discharge in preterm infants) and at one year CGA. Three secondary outcomes of this objective will be to a) relate the quantity, type and severity of viral infections with pulmonary function at one and three years of life, b) relate the viral community structure to severity of viral infections and c) to seek evidence of modulation of viral susceptibility by bacterial respiratory and gut community structure (microbiome). The relationship of colonization with known and non-identified bacterial species in both the respiratory tract and the gut will be evaluated. Flow cytometry data corresponding to this study can be found within Immport study SDY1302. Positive and negative controls for microbiome samples are uploaded under SRA bioproject PRJNA474485. Microbiome samples corresponding to PRISM2 are distinguished from PRISM1 via "_PRISM2" appended to the sample name. Within the positive and negative controls, PRISM1 controls are uploaded as bam files and PRISM2 controls are uploaded as paired fastq. Samples ending in -08 correspond to TLDA qPCR results for a given sample. There is a column for each pathogen tested and a column to indicate where that pathogen was bacteria or virus.

Analysis of Somatic Mutations in Pediatric AML FAB-M7 Subtype by Whole Transcriptome Sequencing

High resolution analysis of DNA copy number abnormalities and loss-of-heterozygosity on acute myeloblastic leukemia samples utilizing SNP arrays has demonstrated that in contrast to pediatric ALL, de novo AML is characterized by a very low burden of genomic alterations (Radtke, et al., PNAS, 2009). Samples for this study represented a cross-section of the different subtypes of pediatric AML. The only AML subtype that was an outlier from the above observations was acute megakaryocytic leukemia (AML FAB-M7), with the majority of these cases being characterized by complex chromosomal rearrangements and a high number of copy number alterations. To more fully define the genomic landscape of this subtype, we performed transcriptome sequence analysis on 14 pediatric FAB-M7 cases and mutation recurrence screening in a panel of 62 adult and pediatric AML FAB-M7 samples using the Illumina platform. Our results identified chromosomal rearrangements resulting in the expression of novel fusion transcripts in 11/14 cases. Remarkably, in 7/14 cases we detected an inversion on chromosome 16 that results in the juxtaposition of the CBFA2T3 gene next to the GLIS2 gene resulting in a CBFA2T3-GLIS2 chimeric gene that encoded an in frame fusion protein. This fusion led to the acquisition or preservation of self-renewal in colony forming assays, providing functional evidence for a role in leukemogenesis. In addition to novel chimeric transcripts, we found mutations in genes previously identified to play a role in megakaryoblastic leukemia that carry a proliferative advantage to the cell, such as JAK2 and MPL. These data demonstrate that AML FAB-M7 is characterized by cooperating Class I and Class II mutations leading to leukemogenesis.

Differential Transcription Start Site Usage in Brain-related Samples

RNA-Seq is an effective method to study the transcriptome, but specialized methods are required to identify 5' ends of transcripts. Several published strategies exist for this specific purpose, but their relative merits have not been systematically analyzed. Here, we directly compare the performance of six such methods - testing five with cellular RNA as well as a novel spike-in RNA assay that helps address interpretation challenges that arise from uncertainties in annotation or RNA processing. Using a single human RNA sample, we constructed and sequenced 18 libraries with these methods and one standard, control RNA-Seq library. We find that the CAGE method performed best for mRNA and that most of its unannotated peaks are supported by evidence from other genomic methods. We then applied CAGE to eight brain-related samples and revealed sample-specific transcription start site (TSS) usage as well as a transcriptome-wide shift in TSS usage between fetal and adult brain.

Lenalidomide Resistance in del(5q) Myelodysplastic Syndrome Follows Loss of RUNX1/TP53-mediated Megakaryocytic Differentiation

Interstitial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (del(5q)) is the commonest structural genomic variant in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Lenalidomide (LEN) is the treatment of choice for patients with del(5q) MDS, but half of the responding patients become resistant within two years. TP53 mutations are detected in ~20% of patients who become resistant to LEN. Our data show that patients who become resistant to LEN harbor either TP53 or RUNX1 mutations or loss of RUNX1 expression. Here we show that LEN-induced degradation of IKZF1 permits a RUNX1/GATA2 complex to drive megakaryocytic differentiation and consequent del(5q) MDS progenitor cell death via CRBN-mediated CSNK1A1 degradation. Overexpression of GATA2 is able to restore LEN sensitivity in the context of RUNX1 or TP53 mutations by enhancing LEN-induced megakaryocytic differentiation. Screening for TP53 and RUNX1 mutations or downregulation should identify patients resistant to LEN, and strategies to activate GATA2 may resensitize del(5q) MDS cells to LEN

Immune trajectory of response and adverse effect in immunotherapy-treated hepatocellular carcinoma

Whilst anti-PD1 immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionised treatment for many cancers, its response rates in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain modest, coupled with common incidences of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). To identify biomarkers and decipher the mechanisms for response and irAEs, we performed multi-dimensional immunoprofiling on peripheral blood and tissue collected before and during anti-PD1 ICB treatment from HCC patients. Single-cell analyses enabled us to identify peripheral biomarkers, in particular, CD11c+ antigen-presenting cells with varying degrees of HLA-DR expression and CD8 effector memory (EM) T cells with CXCR3 tissue-homing capability that are associated with both response and irAEs. We also dissected the mechanisms behind how these immune subsets interface between response and toxicity, showing their intersecting yet diverging trajectories leading to these distinct clinical fates. This study offers new insights on the mechanisms and potentially novel strategies to enhance response and ameliorate irAEs in cancer immunotherapy.

Sensitive and Frequent Identification of High Avidity Neo-epitope Specific CD8 + T-cells in Immunotherapy-naïve Ovarian Cancer

Immunotherapy directed against private tumor neo-antigens derived from non-synonymous somatic mutations is a promising strategy of personalized cancer immunotherapy. However, feasibility in low mutational load tumor types remains unknown. Comprehensive and deep analysis of circulating and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) for neo-epitope specific CD8 + T cells allowed prompt identification of oligoclonal and polyfunctional such cells from most immunotherapy-naïve patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer studied. Neo-epitope recognition was discordant between circulating T cells and TILs, and was more likely to be found among TILs, which displayed higher functionalavidity and unique TCRs with higher predicted affinity than their blood counterparts. Our results imply that identification of neo-epitope specific CD8 + T cells is achievable even in tumors with relatively low number of somatic mutations, and neo-epitope validation in TILs extends opportunities for mutanome-based personalized immunotherapies to such tumors.

A spatial human thymus cell atlas mapped to a continuous tissue axis

T cells develop from circulating precursor cells, which enter the thymus and migrate through specialised sub-compartments that support their maturation and selection. In humans, this process starts in early fetal development and is highly active until thymic involution in adolescence. To map the micro-anatomical underpinnings of this process in pre- and early postnatal stages, we established a novel quantitative morphological framework for the thymus, the Cortico-Medullary Axis, and used it to perform a spatially resolved analysis. By applying this framework to a curated multimodal single-cell atlas, spatial transcriptomics, and high-resolution multiplex imaging data, we demonstrate establishment of the lobular cytokine network, canonical thymocyte trajectories and thymic epithelial cell distributions within the first trimester of fetal development. We pinpoint tissue niches of thymic epithelial cell progenitors and distinct subtypes associated with Hassall’s corpuscles and uncover divergence in the timing of medullary entry between CD4 vs. CD8 T cell lineages. These findings provide a basis for a detailed understanding of T lymphocyte development and are complemented with a holistic toolkit for cross-platform imaging data analysis, annotation, and Organ Axis construction (TissueTag), which can be applied to any tissue.

Single-cell level characterization of B cell depletion and repopulation following rituximab in systemic lupus erythematosus

Rituximab, a CD20+ B cell depletion therapy, is frequently used in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, variability in patient response highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying immune cell dynamics of B cell depletion and repopulation. In this study, we conducted longitudinal single-cell profiling of nine SLE patients treated with rituximab from pretreatment to up to 15 months post-treatment. These were compared to eight healthy controls. We profiled PBMCs via 10X Genomics single-cell RNA, surface protein (CITE-seq), B cell receptor (BCR), and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing and sequenced bulk BCR repertoires in parallel. For single cell sequencing, 10 pools were created with an equal number of cells from 4 samples each. Samples collected at different timepoints from the same patient were distributed across different pools to allow demultiplexing of individuals using genotypes captured from the scRNA-seq data. Libraries were pooled using a ratio of GEX:CITE:TCR:BCR=9:2:1:1 and were sequenced across two lanes of the NovaSeq 6000. For bulk BCR sequencing, individual samples were demultiplexed using primer barcodes and paired-end BCR amplicon reads were merged prior to submission; data are provided as unmapped single-end reads.

Center for Common Disease Genomics (CCDG) Neuropsychiatric: Multimodal Developmental Neurogenetics of Females

In this study, we address the enormous challenges common complex diseases pose for genomic analysis and the enormous opportunities surmounting them offers for advancing healthcare. The common genetic disorders proposed for study here are believed to have extreme locus heterogeneity, requiring the analysis of large numbers of samples to comprehensively identify the genomic variants underlying them. We propose that a combination of deep population studies and joint analysis of SNPs, indels, and structural variants, both in coding and noncoding regions, will provide the next level of understanding of common genetic disorders. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) will be critical to this next-generation approach to the genomics of complex disease. WGS will need to be accompanied by the technical ability to generate and handle very large data sets, a particular focus and strength of NYGC. WGS will also need to be accompanied by new statistical tools and algorithms, which will be developed by the strong core group committed to this proposal. An overarching goal of this proposal, one that capitalizes on the power of WGS, is to identify disease-associated variants at the individual nucleotide level. In many cases, pathogenic mutations fall in noncoding regions of the genome, which can only be fruitfully explored with WGS. A major effort was put into building new computational strategies to functionally annotate noncoding transcribed sequences, and to build new datasets to enable such strategies, opening new frontiers of understanding of disease-related regulatory variants.

Brain Cell Type-Specific Enhancer-Promoter Connectivity Maps and Disease Risk Association

These studies map the epigenetic landscape of microglia, neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The initial study compared acutely isolated microglia to cultured microglia from the same donors, to identify changes that occur when microglia are removed from the brain microenvironment. In collaboration with the Rady Children's Hospital, we obtained brain tissue samples from pediatric patients representing putative normal tissue resected to gain access to brain tumors as well as tissue resected to remove epileptic foci. We assayed microglia isolated from these samples using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq for PU.1, H3K4me2, and H3K27ac. For patients from whom a sufficient cell number was obtained, we additionally cultured their microglia for up to 7 days and subjected these to the same suite of assays. In a follow-up study, we obtained brain tissue from a comparable cohort of pediatric epilepsy patients from Rady Children's Hospital. We isolated nuclei from microglia, neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, and assayed for ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq for H3K4me3, and H3K27ac, and PLAC-seq (Proximity Ligated ChIP-seq). We isolated microglia from human fetal and postnatal sample and assayed for bulk RNA-seq, bulk ATAC-seq, bulk H3K27ac ChIP-seq, single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and single-cell ATAC-seq. For these studies, human microglia are defined by signature genes/proteins, such as P2RY12, SALL1, and CX3CR1.

High-throughput Detection of Clinically Relevant Mutations in Archived Tumor Samples By Multiplexed PCR and Next Generation Sequencing

PURPOSE: Tailoring cancer treatment to tumor molecular characteristics promises to make personalized medicine a reality. However, reliable genetic profiling of archived clinical specimens has been hindered by limited sensitivity and high false positive rates. Here, we describe a novel methodology, MMP-seq, which enables sensitive and specific high-throughput, high content genetic profiling in archived clinical samples. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We first validated MMP-seq’s technical performance in 66 cancer cell lines and a Latin square cross-dilution of known somatic mutations. We next characterized the performance of MMP-seq in 17 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) clinical samples using matched fresh frozen (FF) tissue from the same tumors as benchmarks. To demonstrate the potential clinical utility of our methodology, we profiled FFPE tumor samples from 73 endometrial cancer patients. RESULTS: We demonstrated that MMP-seq enabled rapid and simultaneous profiling of a panel of 88 cancer genes in 48 samples, and detected variants at frequencies as low as 0.4%. We identified DNA degradation and deamination as the main error sources and developed practical and robust strategies for mitigating these issues, and dramatically reduced the false positive rate. Applying MMP-seq to a cohort of endometrial tumor samples identified extensive, potentially actionable alterations in the PI3K and RAS pathways, including novel PIK3R1 hotspot mutations that may disrupt negative regulation of PIK3CA. CONCLUSIONS: MMP-seq provides a robust solution for comprehensive, reliable and high- throughput genetic profiling of clinical tumor samples, paving the way for the incorporation of genomic-based testing into clinical investigation and practice.

Spatial Transcriptomics of Vaccine Therapy With or Without Cyclophosphamide in Treating Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy for Stage I or Stage II Pancreatic Cancer That Can Be Removed by Surgery

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rapidly progressing cancer that responds poorly to immunotherapies. Intratumoral tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) have been associated with rare long-term PDAC survivors, but the role of TLS in PDAC and their spatial relationships within the context of the broader tumor microenvironment remain unknown. Here, spatial transcriptomics data were generated from 16 pancreatic cancer patients treated with GVAX, whose tumors presented with induced intratumoral TLS. Resected tumor specimens were embedded in OCT media and freshly frozen. Sections were cut into 6.5 x 6.5 mm dimensions compatible with Visium spatial transcriptomics slides. TLS-positive tumor sections from 14 patients (14 tumor samples in total) and lymph nodes from remaining patients (2 lymph node samples in total) were selected by an expert pathologist for profiling. We used 4 Visium slides and covered the 16 capture areas with sections cut in a cryostat at 10 µm. The fresh frozen Visium protocol was followed according to manufacturer's recommendations (10x Genomics Spatial 3' v1). Tissue permeabilization and library construction was carried out according to the manufacturer's protocols. Permeabilization time was optimized to 30 minutes. The captured tissue sections were permeabilized to allow RNA to be captured onto the slide where it reverse-transcribed to cDNA. The cDNA was then amplified, and sequencing libraries were prepared using the 10x Genomics Visium Spatial Gene Expression Reagent Kit for Library Preparation. The libraries were then sequenced using an Illumina NovaSeq sequencer. The raw data obtained from the sequencing were processed using the SpaceRanger (spaceranger-1.2.0) pipeline for alignment onto the GRCh38-2020-A reference transcriptome quantification of gene expression. Unsupervised learning generated a TLS-specific spatial gene expression signature that significantly associates with improved survival in PDAC patients. These analyses demonstrate TLS-associated intratumoral B cell maturation.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare, aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer with increasing incidence in the United States. In this study we performed the first whole genome sequencing of three Merkel cell carcinomas with their matched normal tissues for somatic variant calling. From these data we describe the likely mechanism of Merkel cell polyomavirus integration and focal host genomic amplifications in two tumors and the dominance of UV-mediated mutagenesis in a virus-negative tumor. We also performed poly-A RNA sequencing on a total of six Merkel cell carcinomas to address expression differences between virus-positive and virus-negative MCC.

Whole genome and whole transcriptome sequencing of patients diagnosed with angiosarcoma.

Angiosarcomas are rare, clinically-aggressive tumors with a predilection for the elderly and immunosuppressed, which has incited suspicion of an oncogenic virus. We studied the metagenomic landscape of angiosarcomas and identified reads mapping to human herpesvirus-7 (HHV-7). Overall, HHV-7 was present in two-thirds of angiosarcomas, particularly in cases with low tumor mutation burden and lacking signatures of ultraviolet-induced DNA damage. Transcriptomic profiling revealed the enrichment of tumor inflammation signatures in HHV7-positive angiosarcomas. In conclusion, we identified a distinct “inflammatory” subtype of angiosarcoma associated with HHV-7.
