Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified over fifty genomic loci associated with lung cancer risk. However, the genetic mechanisms and target genes underlying these loci are largely unknown, as most risk-associated-variants might regulate gene expression in a context-specific manner. Here, we generated a barcode-shared multiome (transcriptome and chromatin accessibility map) of 117,911 human lung cells from ever- and never-smokers to profile context-specific gene regulation. We observed that most of differentially expressed genes based on smoking status (smoking-responsive genes) were cell-type specific, and inter-cellular communication strength for Major Histocompatibility Complex-I and -II pathways were inverted between ever- and never-smokers. Accessible chromatin peak detection identified candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) from each lung cell type, and 37% of them were cell-type specific. Colocalization of lung cancer candidate causal variants (CCVs) with these cCREs prioritized the variants for 68% of the GWAS loci, a subset of which was also supported by transcription factor footprinting. cCRE colocalization and single-cell based trait relevance score nominated epithelial and immune cells as the main cell groups contributing to lung cancer susceptibility. Notably, cCREs of rare epithelial cell types, including AT2-proliferating (0.13%) and basal cells (1.8%), overlapped with CCVs from multiple GWAS loci. A multi-level cCRE-gene linking system identified candidate susceptibility genes from 57% of lung cancer loci, including smoking-responsive genes. Our multiome dataset identified lung cancer susceptibility genes that were not detected in previous tissue- or cell-line-based approaches and further revealed the cell types and contexts where the susceptibility genes are functional, including the interplay of epithelial and immune cell types even in a single locus.

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified over fifty loci associated with lung cancer risk. However, underlying mechanisms and target genes are largely unknown, as most risk-associated variants might regulate gene expression in a context-specific manner. Here, we generate a barcode-shared transcriptome and chromatin accessibility map of 117,911 human lung cells from age/sex-matched ever- and never-smokers to profile context-specific gene regulation. Identified candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) are largely cell type-specific, with 37% detected in one cell type. Colocalization of lung cancer candidate causal variants (CCVs) with these cCREs combined with transcription factor footprinting prioritize the variants for 68% of the GWAS loci. CCV-colocalization and trait relevance score indicate that epithelial and immune cell categories, including rare cell types, contribute to lung cancer susceptibility the most. A multi-level cCRE-gene linking system identifies candidate susceptibility genes from 57% of the loci, where most loci display cell-category-specific target genes, suggesting context-specific susceptibility gene function.

Notably, cCREs of rare proliferating epithelial cell types, such as AT2-proliferating (0.13%) and basal cells (1.8%), overlapped with CCVs, including those in TERT. A multi-level cCRE-gene linking system identified candidate susceptibility genes from 57% of lung cancer loci, including those not detected in tissue- or cell-line-based approaches. cCRE-gene linkage uncovered that adjacent genes expressed in different cell types are correlated with distinct subsets of coinherited CCVs, including JAML and MPZL3 at the 11q23.3 locus. Our data revealed the cell types and contexts where the lung cancer susceptibility genes are functional.

Project description:Computational pathology for gigapixel whole-slide images (WSIs) at slide level is helpful in disease diagnosis and remains challenging. We propose a context-aware approach termed WSI inspection via transformer (WIT) for slide-level classification via holistically modeling dependencies among patches on WSI. WIT automatically learns feature representation of WSI by aggregating features of all image patches. We evaluate classification performance of WIT and state-of-the-art baseline method. WIT achieved an accuracy of 82.1% (95% CI, 80.7%-83.3%) in the detection of 32 cancer types on the TCGA dataset, 0.918 (0.910-0.925) in diagnosis of cancer on the CPTAC dataset, and 0.882 (0.87-0.890) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer from needle biopsy slide, outperforming the baseline by 31.6%, 5.4%, and 9.3%, respectively. WIT can pinpoint the WSI regions that are most influential for its decision. WIT represents a new paradigm for computational pathology, facilitating the development of digital pathology tools.

Project description:The search for new approaches in cancer therapy requires a mechanistic understanding of cancer vulnerabilities and anti-cancer drug mechanisms of action. Problematically, some effective therapeutics target cancer vulnerabilities that we do not understand and have poorly defined mechanisms of anti-cancer activity. One such drug is decitabine, which is a frontline therapeutic approved for the treatment of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Decitabine is thought to kill cancer cells selectively via inhibition of DNA methyltransferase enzymes, but the genes and mechanisms involved remain unclear. Here, we apply an integrated multiomics and CRISPR functional genomics approach to identify genes and processes associated with response to decitabine in AML cells. Our integrated multiomics approach reveals RNA dynamics are key regulators of DNA hypomethylation induced cell death. Specifically, regulation of RNA decapping, splicing and RNA methylation emerge as critical regulators of decitabine killing. Our results provide insights into the mechanisms of decitabine anti-cancer activity in treatment of AML and identify combination therapies which could potentiate decitabine anti-cancer activity.
