• Developing Biomarkers Incorporating High Throughput RNA, DNA, Small RNA Sequencing and Protein Expression in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Using Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Tissue Samples

  This study included pediatric patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who underwent endoscopy between 2008 and 2012. This included 101 colonic tissue samples and 100 ileal tissue samples. Biopsies were obtained at the time of diagnosis, and patients were followed for a mean of 6 years to record clinical characteristics. These included baseline characteristics, such as age of diagnosis and initial Montreal classification, as well as outcomes, such as stricturing or fistulizing complications, disease remission, or progression to surgery.Genes with significant results in the non-IBD vs CD comparison in colonic tissue are listed in the "Links to Related Genes" section of this page.

• MATISSE Whole-exome sequencing data

  Sample availability: WES was performed on 41 available baseline tumor and blood samples (22 CCRs/MPRs, 5 PPRs, 14 CRN/NPRs). Tumor DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) primary tumor and lymph node metastasis sections containing at least 10% viable tumor cells present in the sample. A pathologist (LS) scored the tumor percentage and indicated the most tumor-dense region on a hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain slide for subsequent DNA isolation. According to the manufacturer's protocol, five to 10 FFPE slides (10 µm) were used for DNA isolation using the AllPrep DNA FFPE isolation kit (Qiagen, 80234) and the QIAcube. Germline DNA was isolated from baseline PBMCs using the AllPrep DNA / RNA / miRNA Universal isolation kit (Qiagen, 80224) and the QIAcube, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Genetic Diagnostics and Sequencing Services (CeGaT) performed whole-exome sequencing sequencing in Germany. Data processing: Demultiplexing of the sequencing reads was performed with Illumina bcl2fastq (v2.20). Adapters of the reads were trimmed with Skewer (v0.2.2), without quality trimming. Sequencing reads were aligned with BWA (v0.7.17) to the human reference genome GRCh38 (Ensemble, v105). Duplicated reads were marked using Picard (v2.25.0) MarkDuplicates, after which quality scores were recalibrated using GATK4 (4.2.2.0) BaseRecalibrator. FastQC (v0.12.1), MultiQC (v1.14), Mosdepth (v0.3.3) and NGScheckmate (v1.0.1) were used for assessing data quality, on FASTQ files and intermediate processing steps.

• Deciphering molecular mechanisms underlying hematological malignancies and development of novel therapeutic approaches

  We aim to identify epigenomic features dysregulated in hematological malignancies through epigenetic analyses of hematological malignant cells. We also perform RNA sequencing to profile tumor cell-specific transcriptomes and target gene sequencing to profile somatic gene mutations in tumor cells. Regarding identified epigenomic abnormalities, we perform further analysis to determine whether they could be good candidates to translate into therapy development. To this end, we will modulate the activity of targets by using their activators and inhibitors in vitro and establish xenograft mouse models of hematological malignancies and manipulate their activity in vivo. Through these studies, we aim to develop new therapeutic agents or modalities that lead to improved patients��� prognosis.

• Transcriptomic profiling of proximal and distal regions of human long head biceps tendon

  Tendinopathy is a prevalent musculoskeletal disorder marked by extracellular matrix disorganization, collagen remodeling, vascular ingrowth, and pain, yet its underlying molecular mechanisms remain insufficiently defined. The long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) is particularly prone to mechanical overload and early degenerative changes, making it a relevant model for studying tendon pathology. In this study, we aimed to characterize region-specific gene expression changes along the LHBT to better understand the molecular basis of degeneration. We collected paired proximal and distal LHBT tissue from patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery and performed bulk RNA sequencing. This approach enables the identification of degeneration-associated transcriptional signatures while minimizing inter-patient variability.

• Comprehensive molecular and clinicopathological profiling of glioma

  Various molecular profiles are needed to classify malignant brain tumors, including gliomas, based on the latest classification criteria of the World Health Organization, and their poor prognosis necessitates new therapeutic targets. The Todai OncoPanel 2 RNA Panel (TOP2-RNA) is a custom-target RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) using the junction capture method to maximize the sensitivity of detecting 455 fusion gene transcripts and analyze the expression profiles of 1,390 genes. This study aimed to classify gliomas and identify their molecular targets using TOP2-RNA. A total of 124 frozen samples of malignant gliomas were subjected to TOP2-RNA for classification based on their molecular profiles and the identification of molecular targets.

• Proteomic Characterization of Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Identifies Risk-Stratifying Subgroups, Proteins Associated with Time-To-Recurrence, and mTOR Effector Molecule EIF4A1 as a Druggable Therapeutic Target

  Using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, we analyzed two independent cohorts comprising 80 and 62 treatment-naive ICC tumors, 67 adjacent non-malignant tissues, and 9 patient-derived xenografts (PDX). In the first cohort, we identifed two subclusters with distinct times-to-recurrence (TTR). A 4-protein classifier trained on our data cohort accurately stratifies these ICC clusters in the Dong et al. dataset (2022) and in our independent second cohort, revealing similar associations between proteomic motifs and clinical outcomes. The Translation regulator EIF4A1 emerges as a therapeutic target, as its inhibition with novel drug eFT226 significantly reduces tumor growth in an ICC PDX model.

• Interplay of somatic alterations and immune infiltration modulates response to PD-1 blockade in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma -- CA209-010

  Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the PD-1 pathway have transformed the management of many advanced malignancies, including clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), but the drivers and resistors of PD-1 response remain incompletely elucidated. Here, we analyzed 592 tumors collected from advanced ccRCC patients enrolled in prospective clinical trials of treatment with PD-1 blockade (or mTOR inhibition as control arm) by whole-exome and RNA-sequencing, integrated with immunofluorescence analysis, to define the somatic alteration landscape of late-stage ccRCC and to uncover the immunogenomic determinants of therapeutic response. While conventional genomic markers (tumor mutation burden, neoantigen load) and degree of CD8+ T cell infiltration were not associated with clinical response, we discovered numerous chromosomal alterations in advanced ccRCC associated with response or resistance to PD-1 blockade. These advanced tumors were highly CD8+ T cell infiltrated, with only 22% and 5% with an immune desert and immune excluded phenotype, respectively. Our analysis revealed that CD8+ infiltrated tumors are depleted of favorable PBRM1 mutations and are enriched for unfavorable chromosomal losses of 9p21.3 when compared to non-infiltrated tumors. These data demonstrate how the interplay of somatic alterations and immunophenotypes impacts therapeutic efficacy.

• Targeted de novo phasing and long-range assembly by template mutagenesis

  Long-range sequencing with low error rate has been challenging. Sequence assembly and phasing usually require a high-quality reference genome for mapping, so working on highly-variable genomic regions or regions with no reference genome information would be difficult. In this study, we describe novel bench protocols and algorithms to obtain ultra-low-error-rate haplotype-phased sequence assemblies of regions 10 KB in length using a short-read sequencing platform that simultaneously solves the above two problems. We accomplish this by imprinting each template strand from a target region with a dense and unique mutation pattern. The mutation process randomly and independently converts ~50% of cytosines to uracils. Short-read sequencing libraries are made from both mutated and unmutated templates. A conservative de Bruijn graph approach seeds an assembly of the mutated templates, which we then extend by mapping paired-end reads. We next partition the template assemblies into two or more haplotypes after using the unmutated sequence library to recover almost all of the mutated bases. The final haplotype is assembled and corrected for residual template mutations and PCR errors. We obtain per-base-error rates below 10 9. We apply this method to a human family, correctly assembling and phasing three genomic intervals, including the highly polymorphic HLA-B gene.

• Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals

  The rates and patterns of somatic mutation in normal tissues are largely unknown outside of humans. Comparative analyses can shed light on the diversity of mutagenesis across species and on long-standing hypotheses regarding the evolution of somatic mutation rates and their role in cancer and ageing. Here, we used whole-genome sequencing of 208 intestinal crypts from 56 individuals to study the landscape of somatic mutation across 16 mammalian species. We found somatic mutagenesis to be dominated by seemingly endogenous mutational processes in all species, including 5-methylcytosine deamination and oxidative damage. With some differences, mutational signatures in other species resembled those described in humans, although the relative contribution of each signature varied across species. Remarkably, the somatic mutation rate per year varied greatly across species and exhibited a strong inverse relationship with species lifespan, with no other life-history trait studied displaying a comparable association. Despite widely different life histories among the species surveyed, including ~30-fold variation in lifespan and ~40,000-fold variation in body mass, the somatic mutation burden at the end of lifespan varied only by a factor of ~3. These data unveil common mutational processes across mammals and suggest that somatic mutation rates are evolutionarily constrained and may be a determinant of lifespan.
