• Combined Targeting of CDK4/6 and HER2 Signaling in Orthotopic Patient-Derived Xenografts of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

  Patients with metastatic HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer will frequently develop brain metastases (BCBMs). Here, we report that p16INK4A, a tumor suppressor, is deficient in the majority of HER2+ BCBMs. Furthermore, p16INK4A deficiency, as measured by protein immunohistochemistry, can be a predictive marker associated with response to combined treatment with tucatinib and abemaciclib in our orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) models of HER2+ BCBMs. Our findings provide the rationale for a biomarker-driven clinical trial of combined treatment with CDK4/6- and HER2-targeted agents for patients with HER2+ BCBM.

• Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) Recognize Unique Somatic Mutations and Mediate Objective Clinical Responses in Metastatic Breast Cancer

  The purpose of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity of tumor mutations in patients with metastatic cancer. Harvest and analysis of progressing metastatic lesions are used for generation of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cultures and the detections of somatic mutations. In vitro T cell activation assays are used to examine the immune recognition of tumor mutations by autologous TIL. Once a candidate is determined to have a cell product that meets the requirements of one of the Surgery Branch clinical trials, the candidate is evaluated for enrollment in a prospective adoptive cell therapy trial.

• Molecular Features of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT Imaging Phenotype

  Molecular imaging with 18F-fluorocholine PET/CT reveals two distinct imaging phenotypes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a potential source of non-invasive insight into its molecular heterogeneity. Using gene set enrichment analyses, we found 18F-fluorocholine-avid tumors to be significantly enriched by genes comprising a subset of previously published HCC-related gene signatures. Significant gene sets included those from existing molecular classification systems for HCC as well as gene signatures predictive of clinical outcomes after tumor resection. PET/CT imaging using 18F-fluorocholine might therefore provide surrogate information about tumor molecular characteristics and prognosis in HCC.

• Determinants of Venetoclax Resistance

  The study aimed to identify genetic determinants of resistance to Venetoclax, a recently approved BCL-2 inhibitor for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Whole exome sequencing of tumor samples from 6 CLL patients relapsing on Venetoclax revealed clonal evolution when comparing pre- and post-Venetoclax samples. Genetic screens for genes involved in sensitivity to Venetoclax and investigations of resistant cell lines (including OCI-Ly1) revealed MCL-1 and regulators of cellular energy metabolism (AMPK pathway) to drive resistance to Venetoclax. Further explorations of patient samples confirmed MCL-1 expression and AMPK activation to be increased at relapse on Venetoclax.

• Cognitively Affected DMD Patients have Unique Methylation Signatures Compared to Cognitively Normal DMD Patients

  The overarching goal of this project was to identify changes in methylation patterns in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients with discordant symptoms using whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) from genomic DNA isolated from whole serum. DMD siblings (biological brothers) had the same genetic mutation in the dystrophin gene but with discordance in symptoms such as ambulation, cardiopulmonary function, and cognition. Trios (DMD sibling brothers and biological mother or father) and quartets (DMD sibling brothers and biological mother and father) were recruited for this study for intra- and inter-familial comparisons of the methylation of gene bodies.

• Bulk RNA-seq of monocytes and in vitro cultured monocyte-derived macrophages of ANCA-associated vasculitis patients with active and stable disease and healthy controls

  To study monocyte and macrophage activation in ANCA-associtated vasculitis (AAV), we performed bulk RNA sequencing of bead-selected monocytes and in vitro cultured monocyte-derived macrophages from AAV patients and healthy controls. Overview patients included for sequencing monocytes: - AAV active disease, n=4, MPO-AAV=4 - AAV remission, n=10, PR3-AAV=5, MPO-AAV=5 - Healthy controls, n=6 Overview patients included for sequencing monocyte-derived macrophages: - AAV active, n=1, PR3-AAV=1 - AAV remission, n=3, PR3-AAV=3 - Healthy controls, n=3

• A genome-wide CRISPR screen identifies CALCOCO2 as a regulator of beta cell function influencing type 2 diabetes risk

  Identification of the genes and processes mediating genetic association signals for complex diseases represents a major challenge. As many of the genetic signals for type 2 diabetes (T2D) exert their effects through pancreatic islet-cell dysfunction, we performed a genome-wide pooled CRISPR loss-of-function screen in a human pancreatic beta cell line. We assessed the regulation of insulin content as a disease-relevant readout of beta cell function and identified 580 genes influencing this phenotype. Integration with genetic and genomic data provided experimental support for 20 candidate T2D effector transcripts including the autophagy receptor CALCOCO2. Loss of CALCOCO2 was associated with distorted mitochondria, less proinsulin-containing immature granules and accumulation of autophagosomes upon inhibition of late-stage autophagy. Carriers of T2D-associated variants at the CALCOCO2 locus further displayed altered insulin secretion. Our study highlights how cellular screens can augment existing multi-omic efforts to support mechanistic understanding and provide evidence for causal effects at genome-wide association studies loci.

• human CMV-specific CD8+ T cells

  In this study we established a comprehensive workflow to collect multi-omics single-cell data using a commercially available micro-well based platform. This included whole transcriptome, cell surface markers (targeted sequencing-based cell surface proteomics), T cell specificities, adaptive immune receptor repertoire (AIRR) profiles and sample multiplexing. With this technique we identified novel paired T cell receptor sequences for three prominent human CMV epitopes. In addition, we review the ability of dCODE dextramers to detect antigenspecific T cells at low frequencies by estimating sensitivities and specificities when used as reagents for single-cell multi-omics.

• The Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) Study

  The Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study of over 215,000 men and women in Hawaii and California is unique in that it is population-based and includes large representations of older adults (45-75 years at baseline) for five US racial/ethnic groups (Japanese Americans, African Americans, European Americans, Latinos and Native Hawaiians) at varying risks of chronic diseases. The MEC has established a large biorepository of mainly blood and urine collected from over 70,000 participants, linked to extensive, prospectively collected risk factors (e.g., diet, smoking, physical activity), biomarkers and clinical data for five racial/ethnic groups.

• Human four week embryo head as reference for generating an enhancer compendium for neuronal and neural crest development using neural tube organoids.

  This study has the aim of generating an enhancer code compendium of early human neuronal and neural crest development. For this purpose, we generated human neural tube organoids from single cells from two induced pluripotent stem cell lines. The organoids were subject to combined single cell multiomics at four time points of differentiation. To evaluate the biological relevance of the cell types and states obtained from the organoids, we compared with data obtained from 10XGenomics single cell multiomics on the head of a single four weeks post conception human embryo.
