• Integrative understanding of human immune system by functional genomics and development of intervention strategies for the prevention of autoimmune diseases

  To elucidate the feature of age-associated helper T (ThA) cells and its contribution to autoimmune diseases, CD4+ T cell subsets from 19 rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 62 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), 40 idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and 64 healthy controls (HC) were collected (Naive_CD4, Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, Fr._I_nTreg, Fr._II_eTreg, Fr._III_T, ThA). RNA-seq was performed with each CD4+ T cell subset samples.

• Identification of responsible genes and development of standardized medicine for familial breast cancer by genetic analysis with NGS technology

  Aims: To clarify risk of germline variants of known causal genes for Hereditary Breast Ovarian Cancer Syndrome in Japan by combinatorial analysis of somatic and germline variants in the breast cancer tissue. Methods: Target caputure analysis by using Illumina HiSeq 2000; the panel genes are 119 genes including 30 HBOC known causal genes. Participants/Materials: 108 whole blood and 124 primary tumor samples from familial breast cancer patients.

• RNA sequencing of untreated head and neck cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and matched patient tumor tissue.

  RNA sequencing was performed on untreated patient tumor tissue and matched patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The aim of this analysis was to characterize the transcriptional landscape of the tumors in the in vivo setting. 117 total samples were sequenced with paired reads on 10 lanes from different flowcells. They were loaded as 2400 separate files to maintain the data as it was received from BGI - each sample is therefore composed of 5 separate EGAN with 4 files each, adding a 0.1 - .. - 0.5 to each BioSample ID to generate sample aliases. All R1 (and R2, separately) files referring to a BioSample ID should be concatenated to obtain fastq files corresponding to single patients or PDXs.

• Whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis of untreated head and neck cancer patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) matched patient tumor tissue and normal mucosa tissue.

  WES analysis was performed on untreated patient tumor/normal mucosa tissue and matched patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models of primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to investigate the preservation of tumor-specific genomic alterations in the in vivo context. 183 total samples were sequenced with paired reads on 8-10 lanes from different flowcells. They were loaded as 3538 separate files to maintain the data as it was received from BGI - each sample is therefore composed of 5 separate EGAN with 2-4 files each, adding a 0.1 - .. - 0.5 to each BioSample ID to generate sample aliases. All R1 (and R2, separately) files referring to a BioSample ID should be concatenated to obtain fastq files corresponding to single patients or PDXs.

• Intercellular nanotube-mediated mitochondrial transfer enhances T-cell metabolic fitness and antitumor efficacy

  We found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) establish nanotubular connections with T cells in a Talin 2 (TLN2)-dependent manner and leveraged these intercellular highways to supply new mitochondria to CD8+ T cells. In this experiment we analyzed the transcriptional profile of T cells co-cultured with MSC containing MSC derived Mitochondria (MitoPositive), T cells co-cultured with MSC not containing MSC derived Mitochondria and control T cells.

• WGS and WES of 78 pairs Chinese gastric cancer

  Gastric Cancer (GC) is a highly heterogeneous disease. To identify potential clinically actionable therapeutic targets that may inform individualized treatment strategies, we performed whole-exome sequencing on 78 GCs of differing histologies and anatomic locations, as well as whole-genome sequencing on two GC cases, each with 3 primary tumours and 2 matching lymph node metastases. The data showed two distinct GC subtypes with either high-clonality (HiC) or low-clonality (LoC).

• Relevance of TMPRSS2, CD163/CD206 and CD33 in clinical severity stratification of COVID-19

  Our main objective is to incorporate new markers to classify COVID-19 patients based on mild or severe disease progression. To achieve this, we characterize SNP genotypes in critical genes involved in SARS-CoV infection (ACE2 (rs2285666), MX1 (rs469390), and TMPRSS2 (rs2070788) variants) and study the monocyte population by mass cytometry (CyTOF). Finally, the results obtained will be integrated to search for the best set of predictors of disease aggressiveness.

• Whole genome and RNA sequencing of paediatric glioblastoma in the ICGC PedBrain project

  Paediatric glioblastoma (pedGBM) is characterised by substantial intertumoural heterogeneity. In order to identify the genetic lesions underlying tumourigenesis, we analysed whole genomes and transcriptomes of pedGBMs and in vitro model systems by next generation sequencing. Novel fusions of the receptor tyrosine kinase MET lead us to investigate targeted therapy using MET inhibitors. This study is part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium PedBrain Tumor Project (ICGC PedBrain, http://www.pedbraintumor.org/).

• Genetic Landscape of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Defined by Exome Sequencing on Chinese Patient Cohort and Cell Lines

  Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide. To define the genetic landscape of ESCC, whole exome sequencing was performed on 113 pairs of tumor and normal DNA samples collected from Chinese individuals with treatment-naive primary ESCC, along with 8 cell lines, including 7 from KYSE series ESCC cell lines and one immortalized esophageal squamous epithelial cell line Het-1A.

• Much ado about nothing? - Off-target amplification can lead to false positive bacterial brain microbiome detection in healthy and Parkinson's disease individuals

  Recent studies suggested the existence of (poly-)microbial infections in human brains. Using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, we tested the hypothesis that there is a bacterial brain microbiome. We evaluated brain samples from healthy human subjects and individuals suffering from PD (olfactory bulb and pre-frontal cortex). We identified off-target amplification as a major confounding factor in low-bacterial/high-host-DNA scenarios.
