• RNA-sequencing from ALL patients treated on the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) ALL06 study.

  Dataset contains RNA-sequencing data (fastq files) from 45 patients treated on the the Australasian Leukaemia and Lymphoma Group (ALLG) ALL06 study, an MRD-stratified Paediatric Protocol. Patient samples (bone marrow or peripheral blood) were taken at diagnosis. mRNA was extracted from blast cells and underwent paired-end sequencing (75bp) using the illumina NextSeq platform. Genomic data was used for identification of genomic drivers of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).

• Assessment of candidate high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma predisposition genes through integrated germline and tumour sequencing

  High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) has a significant hereditary component, only half of which is explained. Previously, we performed germline exome sequencing on BRCA1 and BRCA2-negative HGSOC patients, revealing three proposed and 43 novel candidate genes enriched with rare loss-of-function variants. For validation, we undertook case-control analyses using genomic data from disease-free controls. This confirms enrichment for nearly all previously identified genes. Additionally, one-hundred-and-eleven HGSOC tumours from variant carriers were sequenced alongside other complementary studies, seeking evidence of biallelic inactivation as supportive evidence. PALB2 and ATM validate as HGSOC predisposition genes, with 6/8 germline carrier tumours exhibiting biallelic inactivation accompanied by characteristic mutational signatures. Among candidate genes, only LLGL2 consistently shows biallelic inactivation and protein expression loss, supporting it as a novel HGSOC susceptibility gene. The remaining candidate genes fail to validate. Integrating case-control analyses with tumour sequencing is thus crucial for accurate gene discovery in familial cancer studies.

• High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma tumour whole genome sequencing variants

  Tumour somatic variants (in VCF format) called from paired tumour-germline whole genome sequencing (using IDT library preparation system followed by sequencing on Illumina NovaSeq platform) of three high-grade serous ovarian tumour samples. The dataset comprises three VCF variant files.

• High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma tumour exome sequencing variants

  Tumour variants (in VCF format) from exome sequencing (using Agilent SureSelect and TWIST library preparation systems followed by sequencing on Illumina HiSeq and NovaSeq platforms) of 108 high-grade serous ovarian tumour samples. Germline variants from EGAD00001006030 for these individuals were used to call somatic and tumour-only variants separately, creating two VCF files per sample (except for one sample without paired germline data- somatic variant file only provided). The dataset comprises 215 VCF variant files.

• Molecular Profiling Reveals Unique Immune and Metabolic Features of Melanoma Brain Metastases

  There is a critical need to improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of -melanoma brain metastases (MBM). Thus, we performed RNA sequencing on 88 resected MBMs and 42 patient-matched extracranial metastases; tumors with sufficient tissue also underwent whole-exome sequencing, T-cell receptor sequencing, and IHC. MBMs demonstrated heterogeneity of immune infiltrates that correlated with prior radiation and post-craniotomy survival. Comparison with patient-matched extracranial metastases identified significant immunosuppression and enrichment of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in MBMs. Gene-expression analysis of intracranial and subcutaneous xenografts, and a spontaneous MBM model, confirmed increased OXPHOS gene expression in MBMs, which was also detected by direct metabolite profiling and [U-13C]-glucose tracing in vivo IACS-010759, an OXPHOS inhibitor currently in early-phase clinical trials, improved survival of mice bearing MAPK inhibitor-resistant intracranial melanoma xenografts and inhibited MBM formation in the spontaneous MBM model. The results provide new insights into the pathogenesis and therapeutic resistance of MBMs.

• Whole genome sequencing of primary and metastatic Melanoma cases in an Australian cohort.

  Melanoma is the fourth most common cancer in Australia and the leading cause of cancer death in young adults. The Australian Melanoma Genome Project (AMGP) is analysing whole genomes from melanomas. We include the results of whole genome sequencing (WGS) for a number of datasets that include cutaneous, acral and mucosal melanoma subtypes.

• Heterotypic CD8 T cell clusters isolated from clinical samples are biologically distinct and enriched for antitumor activity

  Emerging evidence suggests a correlation between CD8+ T cell-tumor cell proximity and immunotherapy response. However, it is unknown whether these cells can be captured as functional clusters from clinical samples. In defined human co-cultures, tumor antigen-recognizing T cells outcompeted unmatched T cells in forming clusters with tumor cells, prompting us to investigate whether this feature could be used to isolate tumor-reactive T cells directly from cancer specimens. By conventional and imaging flow cytometry, we show here that from 21/21 human melanoma metastases, we were able to isolate heterotypic clusters, comprising CD8+ T cells interacting with one or more tumor cells and/or antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Single cell RNA-sequencing revealed that CD8+ T cells from clusters were enriched for tumor-reactive and exhausted gene signatures. Integration with T cell receptor (TCR)-sequencing showed increased clonality of clustered T cells, indicative of expansion. In-depth analyses revealed that these T cells had conjugated with tumor cells and various APCs, each exhibiting specific enriched cell states, which were linked to distinct patterns of cell-cell communication. CD8+ T cells expanded from clusters ex vivo exerted on average 9-fold increased killing activity towards autologous melanomas, accompanied by enhanced cytokine production. Also upon adoptive cell transfer (ACT) into mice, T cells from clusters showed superior patient-derived xenograft (PDX) killing associated with more T cell infiltration and activation. Together, these results demonstrate that tumor-reactive CD8+ T cells are enriched in functional clusters with tumor cells and/or APCs, and that they can be isolated and expanded from clinical samples. Typically excluded during single-cell sorting by flow cytometry, these distinct heterotypic CD8+ T cell clusters serve as a valuable source amenable to deciphering functional tumor-immune cell interactions, while they may also be therapeutically explored.
