• Patient-derived tumoroids from CIC::DUX4 rearranged sarcoma identify MCL1 as a therapeutic target

  High-risk sarcomas, such as metastasized and relapsed Ewing and CIC-rearranged sarcomas, currently lack effective curative systemic treatment options. Precision medicine approaches offer hope and among them ex vivo drug response profiling of patient-derived tumor cells emerges as a promising novel tool to identify effective drugs for individual patients. Here, we established ex vivo culture conditions to propagate Ewing and CIC::DUX4-sarcomas as tumoroids in a co-clinical manner. These models retained their original molecular and functional characteristics, including recurrent ARID1A mutations, and serve as tumor avatars suitable for large-scale drug testing. Indeed, screening a large drug library on a small living biobank of such tumors not only revealed distinct response differences between the two entities, but also identified an exceptional dependency of CIC::DUX4-sarcoma cells on MCL1. Mechanistically. MCL1 was identified as a direct target gene of the CIC::DUX4 fusion protein. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of MCL1 induced rapid apoptosis in CIC::DUX4-sarcoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft model. Thus, MCL1 represents a potential novel therapeutic target for CIC::DUX4-sarcoma. Overall, our study highlights the feasibility of co-clinical drug response profiling for individual sarcoma cases and suggests that prospective tests, to evaluate its clinical benefit are highly warranted.

• ATAC-seq of a selected group of AML cases

  ATAC-seq data were generated for a number of selected patients to investigate changes in enhancer and promoter regions. ATAC-seq was essentially carried out as described in31. Briefly, prior to transposition the viability of the cells was assessed and 1 × 106 cells were treated in culture medium with DNase I (Sigma) at a final concentration of 200 U ml−1 for 30 minutes at 37 °C. After Dnase I treatment, cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS, and cell viability and the corresponding cell count were assessed. 5 × 104 cells were aliquoted into a new tube and spun down at 500 × g for 5 minutes at 4 °C, before the supernatant was discarded completely. The cell pellet was resuspended in 50 µl of ATAC-RSB buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2) containing 0.1% NP-40, 0.1% Tween-20, and 1% Digitonin (Promega), and was incubated on ice for 3 minutes to lyse the cells. Lysis was washed out with 1 ml of ATAC-RSB buffer containing 0.1% Tween-20. Nuclei were pelleted at 500 × g for 10 minutes at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded carefully and the cell pellet was resuspended in 50 µl of transposition mixture (25 µl 2× tagment DNA buffer, 2.5 µl transposase (100 nM final; Illumina), 16.5 µl PBS, 0.5 µl 1% digitonin, 0.5 µl 10% Tween-20, 5 µl H2O) by pipetting up and down six times. The reaction was incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes with mixing before the DNA was purified using the Monarch PCR & DNA Cleanup Kit (NEB) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Purified DNA was eluted in 20 µl elution buffer (EB) and 10 µl purified sample was objected to a ten-cycle PCR amplification using Nextera i7- and i5-index primers (Illumina). Purification and size selection of the amplified DNA were carried out with Agencourt AMPure XP beads. For purification the ratio of sample to beads was set to 1:1.8, whereas for size selection the ratio was set to 1:0.55. Purified samples were eluted in 15 µl of EB. Quality and concentration of the generated ATAC libraries were analyzed using the High Sensitivity D1000 ScreenTape Kit (Agilent) and libraries were sequenced paired-end on a NovaSeq (Illumina). ATAC-seq reads were aligned to the human reference genome build hg19 with bowtie2

• The double-hit signature identifies double-hit diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with genetic events cryptic to FISH​

  High-grade B-cell lymphomas with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements (HGBL-DH/THs) include a group of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) with inferior outcomes after standard chemoimmunotherapy. We recently described a gene expression signature that identifies 27% of germinal center B-cell DLBCLs (GCB-DLBCLs) as having a double-hit-like expression pattern (DHITsig) and inferior outcomes; however, only half of these cases have both MYC and BCL2 translocations identifiable using standard breakapart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Here, 20 DHITsig+ GCB-DLBCLs apparently lacking MYC and/or BCL2 rearrangements underwent whole-genome sequencing. This revealed 6 tumors with MYC or BCL2 rearrangements that were cryptic to breakapart FISH. Copy-number analysis identified 3 tumors with MYC and 6 tumors with MIR17HG gains or amplifications, both of which may contribute to dysregulation of MYC and its downstream pathways. Focal deletions of the PVT1 promoter were observed exclusively among DHITsig+ tumors lacking MYC translocations; this may also contribute to MYC overexpression. These results highlight that FISH fails to identify all HGBL-DH/THs, while revealing a range of other genetic mechanisms potentially underlying MYC dysregulation in DHITsig+ DLBCL, suggesting that gene expression profiling is more sensitive for identifying the biology underlying poor outcomes in GCB-DLBCL.
