• Integrative analysis of small cell lung cancer

  Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive lung tumor subtype. We conducted integrated analysis of genome sequencing, transcriptome, and copy number analysis and found an extremely high mutation rate of 7.4±1 protein-changing mutations per million basepairs. Evidence for inactivation of TP53 and RB1 was found in all sequenced cases. Furthermore, we identified recurrent mutations in CREBBP, EP300, and MLL, observed mutations in PTEN, in SLIT2, and EPHA7, as well as focal amplifications of the FGFR1 locus. As a major feature of SCLC we found mutation in histone modifying genes, observed genome alterations that are therapeutically tractable, and provide a framework for identifying biologically relevant genes in the context of a high mutation rate.

• The aim of this project is to identify, on 15 French Caucasian and 10 African-Caribbean men, through an integrative approach of DNA sequencing and transciptomic analyses, relevant genomic events that characterize or allow targeting the various phenotypes of aggressiveness of early stages of prostate cancer.

  Every year about 70,000 new cases of prostate cancer are diagnosed in France and 8,700 men died from this disease. But the incidence and the rate of mortality per 100,000 men in the French West Indies are respectively 1.5x and 2x upper than the rates observed in the metropolitan France. The aim of this project is to identify, on 15 French Caucasian and 10 African-Caribbean men, through an integrative approach of DNA sequencing and transciptomic analyses, relevant genomic events that characterize or allow targeting the various phenotypes of aggressiveness of early stages of prostate cancer.

• Comprehensive genetic analysis of uveal melanoma heterogeneity during metastatic progression

  Uveal melanoma (UM) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite improvement of diagnosis and treatment of the primary tumor, there is no effective treatment of metastatic disease and approximately half of patients will die within one year or less following metastases detection. Tumor heterogeneity has been proposed as a key factor of drug resistance. However, it has been scarcely studied in UM. The present project aims searching for specific drivers of the metastatic progression, describing the genomic and transcriptomic landscape of metastatic UM, exploring tumor heterogeneity and investigating its role in drug resistance. Thus whole exome sequencing and transcriptomics have been performed on constitutional, primary tumor and metastatic samples from 28 UM patients.

• Integrative_Oncogenomics_of_multiple_myeloma

  We used targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing of exomes of CD138 purified plasma cells and matched somatic DNA from 17 patients with Multiple Myeloma. For each patient, an early tumor sample (at diagnosis) and a late one (at relapse) were available. For few of them, an additional late sample (2nd progression) was present. In total, the study has 52 samples. 1044 variants were validated by 454 sequencing. The present study will validate an additional 4630 variants by targeted pull-down and sequencing. All 52 samples will be indexed and then will be pre-pooled in groups of 5 or 6. The sequence capture will use 10 reactions. All samples will then be pooled and go thorugh one lane of HiSeq.

• Whole Exome Sequencing in Multiple Myeloma

  By whole exome sequencing (WES) our group observed the accumulation of mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), adhesion molecules and their effectors and developed a signaling network that was affected by at least one mutation in almost 100% of MM patients and by more than one mutation in around 50% of MM patients which we decided to call inter- and intra-individual pathway redundancy. Interestingly, the extension of our WES dataset to 67 primary MM samples with correspond normal tissue which were collected at the Medizinische Klinik and Poliklinik II in Würzburg within the frame of the CRU216 has tentatively led to the designation of three molecular subgroups based on their mutation profile: "adhesion only", "adhesion & downstream" and "RTK & adhesion & downstream

• H3Africa - Respiratory Microbiota of African Children

  Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of nasopharyngeal (NP) samples, from children enrolled in a PCV13-vaccinated South African birth cohort was used to explore strain-level pneumococcal colonization patterns and transmission dynamics, and associated antimicrobial-resistance determinants. NP swabs were collected at two-week intervals from birth through the first year of life from 137 infants. Pneumococcal isolates were serotyped and tested for phenotypic antimicrobial resistance. 196 NP samples from a subset of 23 infants were then selected based on changes in serotype or antimicrobial resistance. DNA was extracted directly from the enriched NP samples and shotgun metagenomic sequencing performed. Reads were assembled and aligned against reference pneumococcal genomes. in silico pneumococcal capsular, multilocus sequence typing, and resistome analyses were performed.

• WGS_of_healhy_mesothelial_cells_and_primary_mesothelima_cell_lines

  Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive cancer associated with previous exposure to asbestos. Currently there are no effective treatments for mesothelioma and majority of patients will die within a year after diagnosis. Although a large number of preclinical and clinical trials assessed the efficacy of various therapuetic modes, none of the tested molecules entered the clinic. Thus, to better understand what drives mesothelioma carcinogenesis and to identify novel targets for therapy, here we aim at performing WGS of heathy mesothelial cells and a panel of mesothelioma cells lines. Primary mesothelial cell lines were established in prof. Marciniak lab from human pleural specimens, while primary mesothelioma cell lines were obtained from MesobanK. Both models constitute low passage cell lines and therefore should closely represent genetics of the original tissue.

• STAT5 is a therapeutically targetable vulnerability in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

  Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders characterized by the infiltration and expansion of mature malignant T-cells into the skin. The disease encompasses distinct variants such as mycosis fungoides a skin resident variant, in which the malignant cells are restricted to skin lesions, and leukemic variant sézary syndrome characterized by circulating malignant T-cells. Here we integrated shallow whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing, on samples from four sézary syndrome patients and two advanced mycosis fungoides patients with blood involvement, to characterize genetic alterations and assess their therapeutic actionability. We identified an elevated copy number of 17q, resulting in increased STAT5 expression and activation, as a key factor in the pathophysiology of the disease.

• GM adipose tissue study

  The Greek Metabolic (GM) adipose study was carried out in 106 individuals living in Greece and consists of genotyping data (chip), RNA-Seq and ATAC-Seq (for a subset of individuals) data from paired biopsies of Subcutaneous and Visceral adipose tissue. eQTL mapping was performed to study gene regulation and findings compared to those from adipose tissue GTEX data. The focus of this project was to study an underexplored population living in different environmental conditions in order to reveal novel regulatory effects for genes that shape complex traits and disease risk. Our results highlight the utility of modest-sized studies in adding to our understanding of the molecular basis of complex traits and to the identification of mechanisms that drive disease in specific tissues.

• Assessing the suitability of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue for genome-wide association studies (GWAS)

  This study evaluates the feasibility of conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Genotyping results from paired FFPE and blood samples were compared using both microarray technology and low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (lcWGS). The analysis demonstrated high concordance between FFPE- and blood-derived genotypes. Although both platforms performed well, microarrays achieved significantly higher recall and precision and currently offer greater cost-effectiveness and computational efficiency. These findings support the suitability of FFPE-derived DNA for GWAS, with microarrays representing the preferred approach at present. However, the broader variant detection enabled by lcWGS may represent an additional advantage to be explored in future studies, particularly in diverse populations.
