• Molecular correlates for HPV-negative head and neck cancer engraftment prognosticate patient outcomes

  Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumors were sampled from 88 patients. Samples were implanted subcutaenously into the flank of NOD/SCID/IL2R-/- mice. Mice were then monitored weekly for tumor growth and the time of initial palpation was recorded. Mice were euthanized when tumors reached 15 mm in diameter or after 6 months. If no tumor formed by 6 months, the patient tumor was defined as Non-engrafter (N). RNA-seq was performed on all primary tumor samples and successfully engrafted patient-derived xenograft (PDX) samples.

• Gene Expression Signature in Normal Mammary Gland from 83 Breast Cancer Patients Indicates Pre-tumorous Changes and Adverse Outcomes

  This study assessed the transcriptomic profiles of 242 samples from 83 breast cancer patients with unfavorable outcomes, including paired uninvolved mammary gland samples collected at varying distances from primary lesions. As a reference, control samples from 53 mammoplasty individuals without cancer history were studied. A custom panel of 634 genes linked to breast cancer progression and metastasis was employed for expression profiling (targeted RNA sequencing), followed by whole-transcriptome (RNA sequencing) verification experiments and statistical analyses to discern molecular signatures and their clinical relevance.

• Sequencing of in vitro generated macrophages and T cells

  Monocyte derived macrophages were polarised into M1 or M2 using IFNg+ ILP or IL-4 respectively (n =4) . Pan T cells were cultured with or without IL-2 for 4 days (n=4 - 6). Pan T cells were co-cultured with THP1 tumour cells for 20 hours in the presence or absence of ImmTAC molecules and in the presence or absence of M2 macrophages. Sorted T cells and macrophage populations prior and post co-culture were analysed by bulk RNA sequencing (60 million reads per sample) using the Illumina NovaSeq system.

• Deciphering the complex clonal heterogeneity of polycythemia vera and the response to interferon alpha

  We integrated colony formation and differentiation assays with single-cell RNA sequencing and single-cell genotyping in PV patient-derived cells vs. healthy controls to dissect how IFNa targets diseased clones during erythroid differentiation. Our findings indicate that PV-derived clones either undergo apoptosis or pass through their typical differentiation cycle, contributing to the long-term exhaustion of mutant cells in the bone marrow. The pivotal roles of ribosomal genes and clonal prerequisites in the therapeutic mechanism of IFNa are underscored by our study.

• A Prospective Study of the Oral Microbiome and Pancreatic Cancer

  Two prospective cohort studies - the Black Women's Health Study and the Southern Community Cohort Study - were used to investigate the oral microbiome in relation to pancreatic cancer risk. Using a nested case-control study design, 148 cases and 510 matched controls were included (122 Black American pancreatic cancer cases and 409 matched controls). DNA was extracted from oral wash samples, using the PowerSoil Pro kit. Paired-end whole metagenomic shotgun sequencing was performed, using the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform with a read length of 100 bp (insert size 350 bp).

• Datasets of RNA-seq of tumor samples from clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients included in the Translational Program of the NIVOREN GETUG-AFU-26 trial

  RNA-seq analyses were performed on tumor tissue samples of 115 advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients who participated in the NIVOREN GETUG-AFU-26 trial. The samples were obtained prior to treatment initiation. RNA-seq was performed to evaluate previously published gene expression signatures. These included: the IMmotion T effector (CD8A, EOMES, PRF1, IFNG and CD274) and the IMmotion Myeloid (IL-6, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL8, and PTGS2) gene signatures represent gene expression patterns associated with T effector cells and myeloid cells, respectively, while JAVELIN Renal 101 Immuno (T-cell receptor signaling: CD3G, CD3E, CD8B, THEMIS, TRAT1, GRAP2, CD247; T-cell activation, proliferation, and differentiation: CD2, CD96, PRF1, CD6, IL7R, ITK, GPR18, EOMES, SIT1, NLRC3; Natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity: D2, CD96, PRF1, CD244, KLRD1, SH2D1A; Chemokine: CCL5, XCL2; and Other immune response genes: CST7, GFI1, KCNA3, PSTPIP1) represents gene expression patterns associated with both innate and adaptive immune response.

• An investigation into the effects of progestin on follicular development and oocyte maturation during controlled ovarian stimulation using the Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS).

  In recent years, the Progestin-Primed Ovarian Stimulation (PPOS) method, utilizing progestin as ovulation suppressants, has gained traction as a controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) strategy in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, the impact of progestin agents on follicular fluid, granulosa cells, and cumulus cells at the levels of gene and protein expression has not been fully assessed. This study aims to evaluate the effects of progestin agents, used in the PPOS method, on follicular development and oocyte maturation.

• Estonian Microbiome Project second time point dataset

  Out of the 2,509 Estonian Microbiome Project participants, a sub-cohort of over 300 individuals provided an additional stool sample after a median follow-up period of 4.4 years. All participants of the EstMB cohort gave informed consent for the data and samples to be used for scientific purposes. In the second time point, the participants were instructed to send the samples by post immediately after taking the sample and time their sample collection to avoid shipping on the weekends. The median time between sampling and arrival at the freezer in the core facility for the second time point was 53 hours and 1 minute (mean: 59 hours and 22 minutes; minimum: 34 minutes; maximum: 168 hours and 7 minutes [note: additionally, one outlying measurement was 508 hours and 27 minutes. The shotgun metagenomics paired-end sequencing was performed by Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd., using Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, resulting in 4.62 ± 0.44 Gb of data per sample (insert size 350 bp, read length 2 × 250 bp).

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of control and Notch inhibitor treated HCC PDX model

  We generated single-cell RNA-seq data for anti-Notch2 (n=3), anti-JAG1 (n=1) and anti-gD (n=4) treated LIV78 tumors. NCR nude mice bearing similarly sized LIV78 tumors (volumes between 300-900mm3) were injected intravenously with 30mg/kg body weight of either anti-Notch2, anti-Jag1 or anti-gD control antibody 72hrs prior to tumor harvest and tumor cell isolation. Following the depletion of CD45+ and Ter119+ cells, the samples were processed for single-cell RNA-seq (scRNAseq) as described previously (Long et al., 2019) using the Chromium Single Cell 3’ Library and Gel bead kit v2, following the manufacturer’s manual. cDNAs and libraries were prepared following the manufacturer’s manual (10X Genomics). Libraries were profiled by Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA kit (Agilent Technologies) and quantified using Kapa Library Quantification Kit (Kapa Biosystems, Wilmington, MA). Each library was sequenced in one lane of HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) following the manufacturer’s sequencing specification (10X Genomics) to produce the resulting FASTQ files.

• Evaluation of Local Response of Prostate Cancer to Irradiation Using Multiparametric MRI and MR-Guided Biopsies

  The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of local recurrence in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy. In this study, multiparametric MRI was first performed, and biopsy tissue was acquired from cancerous regions detected on MRI. Blood samples were also taken. DNA and RNA were extracted from tissue taken at baseline. DNA was used for whole exome sequencing (WES). RNA was used for gene expression microarray. Each patient then received radiation therapy with androgen deprivation therapy.
