• Cellular Diversity of the Developing Human Cerebral Cortex

  We sought to characterize cellular heterogeneity in the human cerebral cortex at a molecular level during cortical neurogenesis. We captured single cells and generated sequencing libraries using the C1TM Single-Cell Auto Prep System (Fluidigm), the SMARTer Ultra Low RNA Kit (Clontech), and the Nextera XT DNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina). We performed unbiased clustering of the single cells and further examined transcriptional variation among cell groups interpreted as radial glia. Within this population, the major sources of variation related to cell cycle progression and the stem cell niche from which radial glia were captured. We found that outer subventricular zone radial glia (oRG cells) preferentially express genes related to extracellular matrix formation, migration, and stemness, including TNC, PTPRZ1, FAM107A, HOPX, and LIFR and related this transcriptional state to the position, morphology, and cell behaviors previously used to classify the cell type. Our results suggest that oRG cells maintain the subventricular niche through local production of growth factors, potentiation of growth factor signals by extracellular matrix proteins, and activation of self-renewal pathways, thereby contributing to the developmental and evolutionary expansion of the human neocortex. For study version 2, we have updated this data set to include additional primary cells that we infer to represent microglia, endothelial cells, and immature astrocytes, as well as additional cells from the developing neural retina, and from iPS-cell derived cerebral organoids. The genes distinguishing these cell populations may reveal biological processes supporting the diverse functions of these cell types as well as vulnerabilities of specific cell types in human genetic diseases and in viral infections. For study version 3, we have updated the data set to include additional primary cells, including those published in Nowakowski et al., 2017 (PMID:29217575). For study version 4, we have additionally performed parallel analyses of transcriptomes and physiological responses of 476 single cells isolated from developing human cortex. As a result, we were able to identify physiological response profiles of specific progenitor and neuronal cell types during human cortical development.For study version 5, we have additionally performed bulk RNA sequencing of organotypic primary cultures from the developing human cortex with or without exposure to SARS-CoV-2 to understand the infectability and transcriptomic effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the developing human cortex.For study version 6, we investigated the impact of LIFR signaling on neural proliferation and differentiation of human oRG cells. Specifically, we isolated oRG cells from the primary developing neocortex and cultured them for four weeks with and without LIF treatment. We then performed single-cell RNA sequencing using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ Reagent Kits (v3.1, Dual index) from 10x Genomics to understand the molecular and cellular changes of oRG differentiation upon LIF treatment.

• Using Genomics to Reduce Breast Cancer Disparities in the African Diaspora

  Differences in breast cancer incidence and mortality rates between North American Caucasian and African American women are well-described and transcend socioeconomic issues. Black women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger median age; have more clinically aggressive disease and stage-for-stage; and have higher mortality rates than age-matched Caucasian women. Black women in West Africa, the origin of the slave trade in the US in the 19th century and thus the founder population for most African Americans, have even higher rates of early-onset, poor-prognosis breast cancer than African American women. Racial difference in the distribution of intrinsic molecular subtypes has been well characterized in the US and throughout the African Diaspora as well. Despite the large efforts on characterizing racial/ethnic differences, however, the reasons women of African ancestry are disproportionately affected by breast cancer incidence and mortality remain poorly understood - largely due to paucity of data on inherent genomic differences that contribute to the disparities in incidence and progression of breast cancer across populations. West Africa Breast Cancer Study (WABCS) is an initiative that aims to comprehensively understand the genetic architecture of breast cancer in West Africans, the founder population of a large proportion of black women in the United States. The objective of the study was to provide a better understanding of the molecular genetic factors that influence prognosis in Nigerian breast cancer patients, and determine which of these alterations may be amenable to available therapy. To that end, we examined the molecular features of breast cancers of indigenous African women using a combination of whole-genome, whole-exome, and transcriptome sequencing (WGS, WES, and RNA-seq) on 194 tumors from Nigerian patients. The goal of this project was to obtain answers to two related research questions using an unscreened population without genetic admixture in Nigeria: 1) why are women of African ancestry more likely to develop aggressive young onset breast cancer? 2) What are the associated genomic and non-genomic risk factors? We hypothesize that the genomic determinants of breast cancer molecular subtypes in women of African ancestry are also molecular drivers of tumor progression and represent targets for interventions to improve clinical outcomes and close the mortality gap. By identifying causal links between genetic variants that promote aggressive tumor progression in Nigerian women in comparison to women from different population found in TCGA and ICGC, the present dataset will have significant public health impact on millions of women in the African Diaspora. The potential to identify novel pathways for interventions to reduce the increasing mortality gap between women of African and European ancestry is huge

• Prevention and Early Treatment of Acute Lung Injury Network - Vitamin D to Improve Outcomes by Leveraging Early Treatment (PETAL VIOLET-BioLINCC)

  Data Access NOTE: Please refer to the "Authorized Access" section below regarding accessing data through the BioData Catalyst ecosystem. The data from this accession is not available for download through dbGaP. Biospecimens: Access to Biospecimens is through the NHLBI Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center (BioLINCC). Biospecimens from PETAL VIOLET include Plasma and Whole Blood. Please note that use of biospecimens in genetic research is subject to a tiered consent. Specimens may not be used to produce commercial products.Objectives: To evaluate the effect of short-term vitamin D supplementation on mortality among critically ill patients with a vitamin D deficiency.Background: Observational data indicate that vitamin D deficiency is common among critically ill patients and constitutes a potentially modifiable risk factor associated with longer lengths of stay in the hospital and intensive care unit (ICU), lung and other organ injury, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and death. In a previous phase 2 trial, vitamin D supplementation administered to vitamin D-deficient, critically ill patients was associated with lower observed mortality than placebo at 28 days and at 6 months. Because of the need for a larger, phase 3 trial, the PETAL-VIOLET study was initiated to determine if early administration of high-dose vitamin D3 would reduce all-cause mortality among critically ill patients with a vitamin D deficiency.Participants: 1360 patients underwent randomization, 690 were assigned to the vitamin D group and 668 were assigned to the placebo group. Of the 1078 patients confirmed to have a vitamin D deficiency by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS), 538 had been assigned to the vitamin D group and 540 had been assigned to the placebo group.Design: PETAL-VIOLET was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial. Patients were enrolled within 12 hours after the clinician's decision to admit the patient to the ICU from the emergency department, hospital ward, operating room, or outside facility. Patients were tested for vitamin D deficiency, with a threshold of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of less than 20 ng per milliliter. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio, stratified according to site, to receive either a single enteral (administered orally or through a nasogastric or orogastric tube) dose of 540,000 IU of vitamin D3 or matched placebo, in liquid form, administered within 2 hours after randomization.Conclusions: After the first interim analysis, the data and safety monitoring board recommended that the trial be stopped for futility.A single 540,000 IU enteral dose of vitamin D3 administered early during critical illness rapidly corrected vitamin D deficiency but did not provide an advantage over placebo with respect to mortality or other clinically important end points.

• A Phase I Study of the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Glioma with CAN-3110 (AKA rQNestin34.5v.2), a Genetically Engineered HSV-1 Virus

  This study is a "first-in-human" phase 1 trial of recurrent, IDH wild-type glioblastoma (rGBM) patients treated with CAN-3110 (aka rQNestin34.5v.2), a genetically modified oncolytic herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1). The study was a 3+3 dose-escalation study starting at a single intra-tumoral injection of 106 PFU CAN-3110 going up to 1010 PFU in half-log increments (cohorts 1-9). An expansion cohort (cohort 10) was treated with 109 PFU injected into up to 5 sites within a single tumor. Principal findings of the study conclude that:CAN-3110 was safe at all tested doses (no dose-limiting toxicities reached)HSV-1 seropositive patients survived significantly longer than HSV-1 seronegative patients in this study - longer than expected based on historical rGBM controlsHSV-1 seropositive patients were significantly more likely to clear CAN-3110 (HSV-1) antigen from their tumors based on immunohistochemical stainingCAN-3110 treatment-induced CD8+/CD4+ T-cell recruitment to injected tumor sites altered TCR beta diversity in both tumor infiltrating leukocytes (TILs) and PBMCs, and initiated changes in specific TCR beta clonotypes and immune gene signatures which were associated with post-treatment survival.Data provided in dbGaP for this study include:Bulk RNA-Seq data for 13 pre/post-treatment pairs of rGBM tumors corresponding to 12 unique patients (patient 28 was treated with CAN-3110 at two different timepoints). This data is provided as raw sequencing reads (.fastq), kallisto pseudoalignment transcript-level read counts (abundance.tsv files), gene-level abundance matrix (Gene_Level_Expression_Matrix.tsv), and immune gene signature scores matrix (Immune_Gene_Signatures_Matrix.tsv). Sequencing was performed as paired 150bp sequencing on NovaSeq6000 S4 Illumina flow cells. Library preparation varied by batch as described in the included RNAseq_Metadata.xlsx table.TCR beta DNA sequencing performed by Adaptive Biotechnologies for 21 pre/post-treatment pairs of rGBM tumors and PBMCs representing 20 unique patients (patient 28 was treated with CAN-3110 at two different timepoints). Note that all tumor pairs with TCR beta sequencing data also have available bulk RNA-Seq data. The TCR beta sequencing data is provided as an excel spreadsheet (TCRbeta_Sample_Overview.xslx), which provides a broad level summary of the sequencing on a per-sample basis (# of TCRbeta templates, T cell fraction, TCR beta diversity metrics, etc.) and as a large tab separated value file (Full_TCRbeta_Rearrangement_Details.tsv), which provides information per sample at the level of each unique TCR beta sequence (amino/nucleic acid sequence, VDJ gene usage, etc.).An excel table of de-identified metadata for the patients involved in this study.

• Cryptococcosis in Previously Healthy Adults

  Cryptococcus is a fungus that causes infections most commonly in immunocompromised patients, such as those with AIDS and solid organ transplant recipients and is currently responsible for an estimated 15% of all AIDS-related deaths globally. However, in developed countries, approximately one-third of cases fall outside these groups such that cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) has become the most common cause of non-viral meningitis in the U.S. Within the U.S., approximately 15-20% have no readily identifiable immune defect and cryptococcal infection in these hosts has a mortality rate of 30-50% despite optimal antifungal therapy. NIH Clinical Study Protocol 93-I-0106 (NCT00001352). The objectives of this protocol can be broadly categorized as: 1) Characterize the immunologic and genetic mechanisms predisposing to disease acquisition; 2) Understand the post-infectious inflammatory response and distinguish its consequences from those directly due to fungal growth; and 3) Management of post-infectious neuro-inflammatory syndromes associated with cryptococcal meningitis (CM). This protocol recruits patients who have microbiological evidence of cryptococcal neurologic or non-CNS disease (typically pulmonary or bone). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood samples collected during clinical care are used to measure serum and CNS cellular and soluble cytokines as well as to perform in-situ immunohistochemistry. CSF and blood samples are also collected to measure transcriptional (gene expression), proteomic (protein), and lipidomic (lipids) changes that occur throughout disease and treatment. Observational data detailing audiological, ophthalmological and neurocognitive deficits in these patients is also recorded. We have recently described a post-infectious inflammatory syndrome (PIIRS) associated with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) which can be best described as a neuro-inflammatory state during which CM patients present with altered mental status (Montreal Cognitive Assessment Score As part of the protocol, we treat patients for either microbiological failure or neuroinflammatory sequelae by conventional therapies utilizing FDA-approved pharmaceuticals at FDA-approved doses. To understand and identify the predominant biological pathways responsible for PIIRS neuroinflammation, we examined patient CSF at baseline (at time of PIIRS diagnosis) and post-treatment with different FDA-approved pharmaceuticals at FDA-approved doses compared to CSF from non-PIIRS donors. Upstream pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes in the CSF of PIIRS patients revealed a prominent role for the JAK/STAT pathway in the pathogenesis of PIIRS and support the use of the JAK inhibitor, ruxolinib, as a pathway-instructed therapy to treat PIIRS patients. Data available through dbGaP: single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from CSF cells of a patient with PIIRS at the time of diagnosis and following treatment with steroids (1g solumedrol/day) and NanoString transcriptional data from CSF cells of patients with PIIRS at the time of diagnosis compared to CSF cells from non-PIIRS donors.

• sn-RNAseq profiling of the impact of a cytokine storm model in human cardiac organoids

  We developed conditions to model conditions of diastolic dysfunction caused by inflammatory factors in human cardiac organoids. Our organoid model is based on conditions promoting maturation (Mills et al., PNAS, 2017 and Voges et al., In Revision) and incorporating human pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes, epicardial cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and pericytes. Following 15 days of differentiation (Voges et al., Development, 2017) we formed human cardiac organoids incorporating both our multicellular differentiation (Mills et al., PNAS, 2017) and additional endothelial cells (Voges et al., In Revision). After another 12 days of maturation in 5 days maturation medium and 5 days weaning medium (Voges et al., In Revision) human cardiac organoids were either treated with weaning medium or “cardiac cytokine storm” comprised of 100 ng/ml IFNg, 10 ng/ml IL-1 β and 10 µg/ml poly(I:C). After 48 hours human cardiac organoids were harvested and snap frozen in -80C before nuclei isolation and single nuclei RNA sequencing.Pooled hCO (~40) were homogenized in 4 mL lysis buffer (300 mM sucrose, 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH = 8), 5 mM CaCl2, 5 mM magnesium acetate, 2 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1 mM DTT)(all Sigma-Aldrich) with 30 strokes of a dounce tissue grinder (Wheaton). Large pieces of hCO were allowed to settle and homogenate was passed through pre-wetted 40 µm cell strainers (Becton Dickinson). Remaining hCO material in the douncer was resuspended in 4 mL and the douncing and filtering steps were repeated twice. All steps of the homogenization were performed on ice. The filtered homogenate was centrifuged at 1500 x g for 5 min at 4oC. Nuclei pellets were then re-suspended in PBS. A fraction of resuspended nuclei were then stained with hoechst nuclear stain (1:500 dilution) and counted on a haemocytometer under fluorescent microscope.The nuclei were then re-centrifuged (1500 x g for 5 min at 4°C) and resuspended at a density to load ~5,000 nuclei per sample. Cell were loaded into the Chromium Controller (10X Genomics) for gel bead emulsion (GEM) formation. Library preparation was conducted according to the manufacturer’s recommended protocol using the Chromium Next GEM Single Cell 3’ GEM, Library & Gel Bead Kit v3.1. Libraries were sequenced on the NextSeq 500/550 v2 (Illumina) with 150 bp reads.In the snRNA-seq we note the lower than expected percentage of non-myocytes and the loss of endothelial cells (Mills et al., PNAS, 2017 and Voges et al., In Revision), indicating the protocol requires further optimization for hCO samples.

• Beyond BRCA deficiency: Clinical and molecular predictors of survival in patients with BRCA-deficient tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma

  Homologous recombination DNA repair deficient (HRD) tumors account for about 50% of tubo-ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) and are associated with a high response to platinum-based chemotherapy. However, a subset of patients with HRD tumors have unexpected resistance to chemotherapy and experience short survival. Our study compared BRCA-deficient and proficient HGSC among patients with short (<3 years, the lowest quartile of overall survival (OS)) versus longer-term (>3 year OS) to identify prognostic markers and potential therapeutic opportunities. Primary tumors from a cohort of patients with advanced-stage HGSC (n=154) enriched for those with HRD tumors and short survival (n=42) were analyzed using whole-genome sequencing, bulk RNA-sequencing, and DNA methylation profiling. A subset of HRD tumors (n=143) were characterized for immune cell densities by multiplex immunofluorescence. Clinicopathological features were assessed in 1,389 patients with HGSC, including 282 with pathogenic germline BRCA variants (gBRCApv). Findings were validated in two international HGSC cohorts: the Ovarian Tumor Tissue Analysis consortium (n=5,875) and Multisciplinary Ovarian Cancer Outcome Group (n=895). In gBRCApv-carriers, residual disease following surgical cytoreduction was not associated with shorter OS unlike in non-carriers where it was strongly associated. While most patients with gBRCApv had a more favorable OS compared to non-carriers, a survival advantage was not apparent in those with variants located outside of BRCA1 exon 10/23 and BRCA2 exon 11/27. Patient survival correlated with HRD score, such that those with a score ≥63 had significantly longer OS compared to those with HRD scores of 42-63 and <42. While higher HRD scores were associated with better survival outcomes, most gBRCApv carriers with a short survival had tumor HRD scores that exceeded the threshold typically considered predictive of a good response to carboplatin or PARP inhibitors. BRCA2-deficient HGSC with loss of the tumor suppressor NF1 was associated with exceptionally favorable outcome (median OS 17 years), whereas amplification of both PIK3CA and RAD21, was associated with poor outcome in BRCA2-deficient HGSC (median OS 2.9 years). The density of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ PD-1+ T cells was prognostic for OS in gBRCApv-carriers. In summary, rather than simply the presence or absence of a germline BRCA pathological variant influencing patient survival, the co-occurrence of specific somatic gene alterations, the extent of immune cell infiltration, the level of homologous recombination deficiency, and BRCA-variant location may modify clinical outcomes in patients with BRCA-deficient HGSC. Analysis of exceptional outcome patients, in this case gBRCApv-carriers with an atypically short survival, may identify determinants of outcome applicable to the wider HGSC patient population.
