Abstract
Interstitial lung disease and associated fibrosis occur in a proportion of individuals who have recovered from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection through unknown mechanisms. We studied individuals with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) after recovery from acute illness. Individuals with evidence of interstitial lung changes at 3 to 6 months after recovery had an up-regulated neutrophil-associated immune signature including increased chemokines, proteases, and markers of neutrophil extracellular traps that were detectable in the blood. Similar pathways were enriched in the upper airway with a concomitant increase in antiviral type I interferon signaling. Interaction analysis of the peripheral phosphoproteome identified enriched kinases critical for neutrophil inflammatory pathways. Evaluation of these individuals at 12 months after recovery indicated that a subset of the individuals had not yet achieved full normalization of radiological and functional changes. These data provide insight into mechanisms driving development of pulmonary sequelae during and after COVID-19 and provide a rational basis for development of targeted approaches to prevent long-term complications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: NSCLC cells carrying EGFR mutations can gain resistance to cognate TKIs through amplification of Chr22q11.2 (Chr22amp), a chromosome segment containing CRKL. This also specifically associates with exquisite sensitivity to inhibitors of Aurora Kinase B (AZD2811), potentially mediated by other Chr22 genes. Furthermore, a phenotypic rewiring occurs in the response to AZD2811, from a senescent polyploidy in wildtype (WT) cells to apoptosis in Chr22amp cells. Here, we aimed to elucidate the underlying signaling alterations in this background by phosphoproteomic pathway analysis.
Methods: The EGFR mutant cell line PC9 and 8 TKI resistant derivatives were profiled (4 Chr22amp and 4 WT). Kinetics of response to AZD2811 (100nM) and osimertinib (160 nM) were identified by flow cytometry. Samples (n=3) were prepared for phosphoproteomics, after 6, 24, and 48 h AZD2811 and 1 h osimertinib, with time matched controls. Cells were washed and lysed in urea, then digested with trypsin. Phosphorylated peptides were enriched with TiO2 and analyzed by Orbitrap LC-MS/MS. Computational analyses quantified peptides across samples. KScanTM bioinformatics identified differential phosphopeptides between Chr22amp and WT to determine kinase substrate profiles by KSEA, putative downstream targets (PDT) and differential compound target activity markers (CTAM).
Results: Single cell time-course analysis of phenotypic response to AZD2811 in Chr22amp cells showed that >60% of cells become Annexin V+ by 48 h post-treatment. We took earlier timepoints of 6, 24 and 48 h post treatment. We focused the phosphoproteomic analysis on three comparisons of Chr22amp amplified cells to: 1) the basal signaling state compared to WT; 2) the signaling response to osimertinib in parental PC9; and 3) the altered kinetics of signaling in response to AZD2811 compared to WT. At the basal level, Chr22amp had CK1e, CDK2, p38a substrates differentially enriched, and MTOR inhibitor and Aurora B inhibitor modulated sites (p<10-3). The response to osimertinib was largely differential in the maintenance of ERK1/2 signaling to P90RSK1 but not MEK1 in Chr22amp cells. In cells treated with AZD2811, alterations in signaling were associated with Aurora B in all cells as expected. However in amplified cells, we observed key differences at 24h such in cell death and metabolic processes in specific hierarchical clusters of temporally modulated sites, underpinned by relative down regulation of multiple signaling nodes such as ARAF (z = 4.87, p<10-2), ERN1 (z = 4.56, p<10-2), and CDK2 (z = 4.30, p<10-2).
Conclusions: Here, we identified significant pathway deregulation in Chr22amp cells that subverted EGFR inhibition and enhanced sensitivity to AZD2811. Intriguingly, we detected enhanced Aurora B activity in Chr22amp cells at basal levels, and surprising impact of AZD2811 on the EGFR pathway.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) promise to transform cancer therapies by accurately predicting the most appropriate therapies to treat individual patients. Here, we present an approach, named Drug Ranking Using ML (DRUML), which uses omics data to produce ordered lists of >400 drugs based on their anti-proliferative efficacy in cancer cells. To reduce noise and increase predictive robustness, instead of individual features, DRUML uses internally normalized distance metrics of drug response as features for ML model generation. DRUML is trained using in-house proteomics and phosphoproteomics data derived from 48 cell lines, and it is verified with data comprised of 53 cellular models from 12 independent laboratories. We show that DRUML predicts drug responses in independent verification datasets with low error (mean squared error < 0.1 and mean Spearman's rank 0.7). In addition, we demonstrate that DRUML predictions of cytarabine sensitivity in clinical leukemia samples are prognostic of patient survival (Log rank p < 0.005). Our results indicate that DRUML accurately ranks anti-cancer drugs by their efficacy across a wide range of pathologies.

Abstract
Abstract
Paediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGGs) constitute the largest group of childhood CNS tumours. They often cause significant disability and morbidity, despite their indolent growth and the good survival rate of patients. The most common genetic alterations in these tumours, KIAA1549:BRAF fusion and BRAFV600E mutation, lead to abnormal activation of MAPK signalling. The central role of this pathway in pLGG development is emphasized by the occasional presence of other MAPK-activating alterations such as RTK mutations. It is not known how these different aberrations can induce the variety of clinical phenotypes seen in pLGG. Here, we compared pilocytic astrocytomas (PAs) containing the KIAA1549:BRAF fusion with glioneuronal tumours (GNTs) containing the BRAFV600E mutation, to identify differentially activated downstream targets of the MAPK pathway. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used as a multi-proteomic approach. Kinase Set Enrichment Analysis (KSEA) using PhosphositePlus and NetworkIN was used to determine relative enrichment of kinase activity in the tumours compared to healthy control brain tissue. Significant similarities and differences were found in the two tumour types. For example, more robust MAPK activation was found in the GNTs than in PAs. However, while PI3K/AKT1/mTOR signalling was active in both PAs and GNTs, there was statistically higher activation in the PAs. In both tumour types, there was significant reduction in casein kinase 2 activity, which likely affects nuclear translocation of ERK and, in turn, alters the range of its phosphorylated substrates. We will present these data together with transcriptomics to further characterise the downstream targets of these genetic alterations.
