• Genome and gene analysis of gastrointestinal cancer and elucidation of its clinicopathological significance

  Cancer develops through the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic aberrations. To identify sequential molecular alterations that occur during the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we molecularly compared 52 early and 108 overt HCC samples by genome sequencing. Gene mutations in the p53/RB1 pathway, WNT pathway, MLLs, SWI/SNF complexes, and AKT/PI3K pathway were common in HCC. In the early phase of all entities, TERT was the most frequently upregulated gene owing to diverse mechanisms. Despite frequent somatic mutations in driver genes, including CTNNB1 and TP53, early HCC was a separate molecular entity from overt HCC as each had a distinct expression profile. Notably, WNT target genes were not activated in early HCC, regardless of CTNNB1 mutation status, because ?-catenin did not translocate into the nucleus due to the E-Cadherin/?-catenin complex at the membrane. Conversely, WNT targets were definitively upregulated in overt HCC with CTNNB1 mutation associated with downregulation of CDH1 and hypomethylation of CpG islands in the target genes. Similarly, cell cycle genes downstream of the p53/RB pathway were upregulated only in overt HCC with TP53 and/or RB1 gene mutations associated with chromosomal deletion of 4q and/or 16q. Differing from the expression profile, HCC was epigenetically distinguished into four subclasses: normal-like methylation, global-hypomethylation (favorable prognosis), stem-like methylation (poor prognosis), and CpG island methylation. These methylation statuses were globally maintained through HCC progression. Taken together, additional molecular events besides driver gene mutations cooperatively contribute to transcriptional activation of downstream targets as HCC progresses, according to the methylation status of the associated genes.

• Mutational Landscape and Tumor Burden Assessed by Cell-Free DNA in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: a Population-based Study

  Purpose: We analyzed the utility of cfDNA in a prospective population-based cohort to determine the mutational profile, assess tumor burden, and estimate its impact in response rate and outcome in patients with DLBCL. Experimental Design: One-hundred patients were diagnosed with DLBCL during the study period. Mutational status of 112 genes was studied in cfDNA by targeted next-generation sequencing. Paired formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples and volumetric PET/CT were assessed when available. Results: Appropriate cfDNA to perform the analyses was obtained in 79/100 cases. At least one mutation could be detected in 69/79 cases (87%). The sensitivity of cfDNA to detect the mutations was 68% (95% CI: 56.2-78.7). The mutational landscape found in cfDNA samples was highly consistent with that shown in the tissue and allowed genetic classification in 43% of the cases. A higher amount of ctDNA significantly correlated with clinical parameters related to tumor burden (elevated LDH and β2-microglobulin serum levels, advanced stage, and high-risk IPI) and total metabolic tumor volume assessed by PET/CT. In patients treated with curative intent, high ctDNA levels (>2.5 log hGE/mL) were associated with lower complete response (65% vs. 96%, P<0.004), shorter progression-free survival (65% vs. 85%, P=0.038) and overall survival (73% vs. 100%, P=0.007) at 2 years, although it did not maintain prognostic value in multivariate analyses. Conclusions: In a population-based prospective DLBCL series, cfDNA resulted an alternative source to estimate tumor burden and to determine the tumor mutational profile and genetic classification, which have prognostic implications and may contribute to a future tailored

• Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis of HIV-1 Viral Burden in HIV-1 Infected Subjects: Response to Antiretroviral Therapy

  The purpose of this study is to provide a reference profile of small extracellular RNAs in body fluids. These samples were originally obtained in a study that had a different purpose. The purpose of the original study was to collect information on the changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) related to HIV infection, including the viral burden (amount of virus) and the body responses of the infected individual, such as the number and types of lymphocytes in the CSF. In addition to looking at the number and types of lymphocytes in the CSF, this original study also examined the presence of markers of inflammation and other chemical changes, and the relationship of those changes to nervous system dysfunction in AIDS.

• DNA Replication Timing Alterations in Genetic Diseases

  This study contains a collection of lymphoblastoid cell line (LCL) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) whole genome sequencing from individuals with an without a diagnosed genetic disease. Several types of genetic diseases are included such as translocations, repeat expansions, and heritable or spontaneous mutations of genes. We used the whole genome sequencing to generate DNA replication timing profiles for these individuals and compared the profiles of diseased individuals to presumed healthy samples. We aimed to identify replication timing alteration linked to a specific genetic disease and therefore elucidate trans-acting factors of DNA replication timing. We found that replication timing was highly consistent across almost all diseased samples. Only one genetic disease, a mutation in MCM10, demonstrated an altered profile of replication timing.

• Genomics of Pediatric Renal Medullary Carcinomas

  Version 1We derived faithful cancer cell lines from patients with a diagnosis of renal medullary carcinomas (RMC). These models have been sequenced with whole genome, exome and transcriptome technologies along with the patient's primary germline and tumor samples. We took these faithful models and performed loss-of-function genetic perturbation screens (e.g. RNAi and CRISPR-Cas9) along with an orthogonal small molecule screen. We identified the ubiquitin-proteasome system as an important target in RMC as well as other SMARCB1 deficient cancers.Version 2We have collaborated with the Children's Oncology Group and the study AREN03B2 to study the cohort of patients with a central diagnosis of RMC. Here, we used 10x linked read sequencing along with RNA-sequencing to profile these matched tumor-normal pairs.

• Lifestyle, Infertility, Fertility, and Evaluation (LIFE) Study

  The purpose of this study is to provide a reference profile of small extracellular RNAs in body fluids. These samples were originally obtained in a study that had a different purpose. The purpose of the original study was to establish a data and biological specimen repository to advance future research into male reproductive health and urologic health. Semen from semen analyses, as part of standard of care at the Center for Reproductive Health, was collected and stored in a tissue bank for future research purposes. These samples and associated clinical data (including age, race, education level, medical history and diet, environmental exposures and laboratory values, fertility diagnosis and infertility treatments) will help researchers understand any urological disorders and male reproductive health issues.

• MPNST - DLPplus single nucleus DNAseq

  Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of tumour evolution is crucial for determining the drivers of cancer progression. Here, we comprehensively profile a primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST) and its recurrence with a multi-omic and spatial approach at single-cell resolution. Leveraging the extensive heterogeneity in copy number aberrations (CNAs) as a native barcoding system, we fully resolve the evolutionary tree of this tumour revealing multi-furcations suggestive of ongoing chromosomal instability. We show gene dosage effects contribute to phenotypic diversity and are predominantly linear with the exception of FOS in a specific subclone. Using laser capture microdissection, we performed spatial lineage tracing in a human tumour, elucidating the relationship between local expansions and interactions between tumour cells and the microenvironment.
