Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in African Ancestry Population is Characterized by Increased Genomic Instability

ABSTRACT: Despite the considerable effort to characterize the genomic landscape of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), published data have been almost exclusively derived from patients of European Ancestry (EA), with significant underrepresentation of minorities, including patients of African Ancestry (AA). Furthermore, although over a decade has passed since the initial observations of AA CLL patients suggesting an increased frequency of adverse prognostic factors and inferior clinical outcomes when compared to EA CLL, the differences between populations remain poorly understood. To begin to address this gap, we explored whether ancestry differences exist in the genetic and transcriptomic features of 157 AA and 440 EA individuals diagnosed with CLL. In our study focused on 59 putative driver genes, we found an increased frequency of mutations in driver genes in AA CLL, including mutations in genes of the DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway. Telomere erosion was also increased in AA CLL, amplifying the notion of increased genomic instability in AA CLL. Furthermore, we found enrichment of the Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFα) Signaling via NF-κB pathway in AA CLL compared to EA CLL, suggesting that tumor promoting inflammation plays an important role in AA CLL. In summary, we found higher frequency of mutations in genes from the DDR pathway along with shorter telomers and higher transcription of NFkB pathway genes. These results suggest that genomic instability is more prevalent in AA CLL than EA CLL. Future studies are needed to show that it may be a driver of poor prognosis among AA CLL patients.

Molecular Dissection of Disease Heterogeneity in SLE

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects 1 in 537 of African American (AA) women, which is >2-fold more than European American (EA) women. AA patients also develop the disease at a younger age, have more severe symptoms, and a greater chance of early mortality. We used a multi-omics approach to uncover ancestry-specific immune alterations in SLE patients and healthy controls that may contribute to disease disparities. Cell composition, signaling, and epigenetics were evaluated by mass cytometry; droplet-based single cell transcriptomics and paired proteogenomics (scRNA-Seq/scCITE-Seq). Soluble mediator levels were measured in plasma and stimulated whole blood. TLR3/4/7/8/9 gene expression pathways in B cells and monocytes were enhanced in AA SLE patients compared to EA patients. TLR7/8/9 and IFN phospho-signaling responses were also heightened in healthy AA versus EA controls. Exposure of AA and EA healthy control cells to TLR7/8/9 agonists or IFN resulted in altered immune cell compositions that recapitulated the ancestry-associated differences in SLE patients. These data support that ancestry-based differences in TLR7/8, TLR9, and IFN responses that can be detected in healthy individuals could influence lupus disease course and severity.

Myeloma in African Americans: Myeloma gDNA vs. Control gDNA

Project description:Epidemiological data have suggested that African Americans (AA) are twice as likely to be diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM) as compared to European Americans (EA). Here, we have analyzed a set of cytogenetic and genomic data derived from AA and EA MM patients. We have compared the frequency of IgH translocations in a series of data from 115 AA patients from three studies and EA patients from the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) studies E4A03 and E9487. We have also interrogated tumors from 45 AA and 196 EA MM patients for somatic copy number abnormalities associated with poor outcome. In addition, 35 AA and 178 EA patients were investigated for a transcriptional profile associated with high-risk disease. Overall, based on this cohort, genetic profiles were similar except for a significantly lower frequency of IgH translocations (40% vs. 52%; p=0.032) in AA patients. Frequency differences of somatic copy number aberrations were not significant after correction for multiple testing. There was also no significant difference in the frequency of high-risk disease based upon gene expression profiling. Our study represents the first comprehensive comparisons of the frequency and distribution of molecular alterations in MM tumors between AA and EA patients.

Activation of the Interferon Pathway is Dependent upon Autoantibodies in African-American SLE Patients, but not in European-American SLE Patients

Project description:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous disease which leads to different levels of serum autoantibodies to RNA-binding proteins (anti-RBP) and interferon-Î± (IFN-Î±), which plays an important pathogenic role in SLE, between European-American (EA) and African-American (AA) patients. We aimed to explore how IFN-related gene expression pathways differ in patients according to their ancestry and anti-RBP profile Whole blood from 33 female SLE patients and 16 matched controls from EA and AA ancestral backgrounds was analyzed through Affymetrix Gene 1.0 ST gene expression arrays and the data were further studied through Ingenuity Pathways Analysis for canonical pathway comparison. An independent replication cohort of more than 100 SLE patient samples and 30 controls was used to test the hypotheses generated by the microarray data, using qPCR to quantify gene expression.

First characterization of the transcriptome of lung fibroblasts of SSc patients and healthy donors of African ancestry.

Project description:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and devastating connective tissue disorder that results in fibrosis and vascular abnormalities that affect the skin and visceral organs, and SSc-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SSc-PF) is the leading cause of death amongst SSc patients. Racial disparity is noticeable in SSc as African Americans (AA) have a higher frequency and severity of diseases than European Americans (EA). Using RNAseq, we determined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in primary pulmonary fibroblasts (pFBs) outgrown from SSc-PF lungs (SScL) and normal lungs (NL) of AA and EA patients to characterize the unique transcriptomic signatures of AA-NL and AA-SScL pFBs by performing a systems level analysis. We identified 69 DEGs in “AA-NL vs. EA-NL” and 384 DEGs in “AA-SScL vs. EA-SScL” comparisons, and only 7.5% DEGs were commonly deregulated in the “SScL vs. NL in AA and EA” disease mechanisms comparison. Surprisingly, we also identified a disease-like signature in AA-NL pFBs. Our data highlight that the transcriptome of AA pFBs is unique and may hold the key to understanding racial disparity in SSc-PF, the first step in developing efficacious therapeutic strategies.

Multimodal single cell analyses reveal mechanisms of perianal fistula in diverse Crohn’s disease [scRNA-seq]

Project description:Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. African ancestry (AA) populations have been substantially under-represented in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of CD and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), reflecting in part the lower prevalence of CD in AA compared to European ancestry (EA) populations. Importantly, CD complicated by perianal fistulae has been found to be more prevalent and severe in African-ancestry patients. Perianal fistulae arise from the distal rectal mucosa and can course to a cutaneous surface, resulting in highly morbid complications. Monoclonal antibodies against anti-TNF are the mainstay of treatment, but recurrence and secondary loss-of-response is common. In severe, uncontrolled cases, complete proctectomy is required. The intestine is unique among adult tissues in that under homeostasis, residential macrophages are continually replenished from recruited blood monocytes. In EA cohorts, we established that chronic monocyte cultures stimulated with NOD2 agonists result in aberrant myeloid-stromal differentiation stratified by risk allele carrier status. NOD2 risk alleles are not associated with perianal fistulae; African-American patients with CD do not carry them (except via recent European ancestry admixture). There is no direct association between known CD GWAS risk loci and the risk of developing perianal fistula. Here, we present direct ex-vivo, single cell multiomic analyses of colorectal tissues and perianal fistulous tracts in AA and EA cases to define mechanisms of perianal fistula development. We implicate myeloid-stromal crosstalk and define cell subtypes using single cell RNA (scRNASeq), ATAC sequencing, and chronic, unstimulated monocyte cultures. Transcription factor motifs and ATAC signals co-localized with fine-mapped GWAS loci provide insight to cell-specific and transcriptional network regulation.
