• Whole exome sequencing of Ewing and CIC-DUX4 sarcoma tumoroid models

  Tumoroid models from Ewing sarcoma and CIC-DUX4 sarcoma models were generated from patient tumor biopsies. Tumoroids were established in 3D matrigel domes and then propagated on a matrige layer. Whole exome sequencing was performed with established tumoroid models.

• Whole-exome sequencing data of ovarian clear cell carcinoma in East Asia

  This is a genomic study to uncover the molecular landscape of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) in East Asia. This dataset contains normal-tumor paired samples of 104 patients with OCCC diagnosed in two branches of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan. These are paired-end, whole-exome sequencing data, sequenced by Illumina NovaSeq with target depth of 150X.

• Single-cell profiling reveals mechanisms of response to anti-PD-L1 versus anti-PD-L1 combined with anti-CTLA4 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

  Cancer patients often receive a combination of PD-(L)1 and CTLA4 inhibitors, but the mechanisms underlying their concerted actions remain unclear. We conducted a neoadjuvant study in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) involving anti-PD-L1 monotherapy versus anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 combination. Single-cell profiling of on- versus pre-treatment biopsies confirmed T-cell expansion as response biomarker. We identified a type 1 immune response accompanying T-cell expansion on-treatment across treatment arms, and herein characterized co-localized IgG plasma cell expansion as important contributor. In pre-treatment biopsies, similar features correlated with expansion upon anti-PD-L1, but not anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4. By profiling tumor-draining lymph nodes, we found the addition of anti-CTLA4 to trigger activation and subsequent trafficking of CD4+ T-cells via the blood, to become T-helper 1 cells in the tumor. anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 indeed facilitated co-localized expansion of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in tumors versus mostly CD8+ T-cells with anti-PD-L1 alone. Hence, we identify complimentary mechanisms underlying anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 therapy in HNSCC.

• Origination of Ovarian Cancer is Dependent on Specific Aneuploidy Landscape

  Ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), a highly chromosomally instable malignancy, develops through sequential stages of precursors in fallopian tubes including histologically unremarkable but TP53 mutated clones (p53 signature) and serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC). Here, we applied RealSeqS to assess aneuploidy in 127 microdissected tubal regions. We found nearly all p53 signatures lost the entire Chr17 chromosome, offering a “two-hit” mechanism of both TP53 and BRCA1 in BRCA1 germline mutation carriers. Proliferatively active STICs harbor gains of 19q12 (CCNE1), 19q13.2, 8q24 (MYCyc), or 8q arm, while proliferatively dormant STICs show 22q loss. Based on aneuploidy patterns in a training set (n= 67), we developed an algorithm, REAL-FAST, to classify NFTE and STICs into 5 clusters. In an independent validation set (n= 72), REAL-FAST was able to detect STIC/HGSC with high sensitivity and specificity. Taken together, REAL-FAST promises a molecular test for diagnosing HGSC precursor lesions based on specific aneuploidy patterns.

• Identification of germline variants in Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) by whole- exome sequencing

  Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare malignant tumor that arises from parafollicular cells. Approximately 8% of thyroid cancer cases are MTC, and about 25% of these have a hereditary component. Incorporating molecular parameters into tumor classification is important. Besides, the presence of pathogenic germline variants can impact directly on cancer prevention. Thus, the aim of this study was to perform whole exome sequencing (WES) on a consecutive series of hereditary RET wild-type MTC patients to identify genetic variants that may be involved in the carcinogenesis of this tumor. WES was performed on 28 patients negative for germline RET pathogenic variants using the NovaSeq 6000 platform. Variant classification followed American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines.Our study represents a significant advancement in gene discovery for MTC genetics.

• Genomic Profiling of Pediatric Tumors by Cell Free DNA Sequencing

  BACKGROUND Analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from peripheral blood has been studied extensively for detection and monitoring therapy response in adult cancers, but utility in pediatric tumors is unclear. METHODS We studied 233 children with hematologic, solid and brain tumors. cfDNA was extracted from 1 mL of plasma collected at diagnosis. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in cfDNA was quantified and diverse classes of somatic genomic variants were detected using PeCan-Seq. PeCan-Seq findings were compared with matched tumor whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing data. Minimal residual disease (MRD) status was evaluated by cfDNA PeCan-Seq in 14 patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. RESULTS Plasma cfDNA yields at diagnosis were higher for hematologic malignancies than for solid and brain tumors. Patients with hematologic malignancy were 100% ctDNA-positive, the median ctDNA fraction in cfDNA was 0.77. We detected 97% variants that were present in tumors and covered by the capture panel, and 50 subclonal variants that were present in cfDNA only. Our approach enabled detection of sequence and structural variants in B-ALL ctDNA at varying levels of MRD. Nineteen of 38 patients with solid tumors were ctDNA-positive, with high prevalence in Ewing Sarcoma, liver tumors and osteosarcoma. One of 19 brain tumor patients was ct-DNA positive, indicating lack of utility for plasma-derived cfDNA in this disease. Notably, cfDNA analysis of a single plasma sample identified genomic features in ctDNA derived from B-ALL, concurrent primary neuroblastoma, and a later neuroblastoma relapse, indicating that genomic variations from multiple tumors could be detected simultaneously. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients with hematologic malignancy had an abundance of plasma ctDNA at diagnosis. Plasma ctDNA levels varied between different solid tumor types, more studies are needed to determine utility. Panel-based cfDNA sequencing could serve as a non-invasive approach for pediatric cancer diagnosis and disease monitoring.

• Identifying mutations in patient-derived melanoma DCC lines

  To identify mutations that cause resistance, we analyzed two patient-derived cell lines: Mel-DCC-11 (the parental line, sensitive to the BRAF inhibitor) and Mel-DCC-11-R (resistant to the BRAF inhibitor). We employed targeted-panel sequencing to examine the coding sequences of 410 cancer-associated target genes.
