• A prospective study identifies MisMatch Repair genes as candidate predisposing genes for uveal melanoma.

  Objective: The aim of this study is to identify new predisposing genes for uveal melanoma (UM), the most common intraocular malignancy in adults. Design: Prospective cohort study from Institut Curie. Participants: 381 unselected patients diagnosed with UM between July 2021 and February 2023 at Institut Curie. Methods: All patients received genetic counseling and consented to extended genetic testing. A panel of 122 genes was analyzed by targeted sequencing on germline DNA from these patients. Main outcomes measures: UM was diagnosed by ophthalmologists at Institut Curie, and a senior pathologist confirmed the diagnosis when tumor or biopsy was available. Classification of the germline genetic variants was performed according to the ACMG guidelines. Results: We identified at least one pathogenic variant (PV) in 79 patients. Among those variants, 20 were found in clinically relevant genes for the patient’s follow-up and genetic counseling. We found a significant enrichment of germline pathogenic variants in Mismatch Repair (MMR) MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 genes in this UM cohort, suggesting that MMR germline alterations could predispose to UM. From this cohort, one tumor was available from a patient carrying a MLH1 germline mutation. The tumor was characterized by a monosomy 3, in line with a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of MLH1, located on chromosome 3. Loss of expression of MLH1 and PMS2 was observed by immunohistochemistry, and MMR mutational signatures SBS6, ID1 and ID2 were identified from the whole genome sequencing of the tumor. These data suggest that MLH1 is implicated in the oncogenesis of this UM. Conclusions: This study is the largest prospective constitutional study performed on UM patients, and the first demonstrating that MMR germline alterations are significantly enriched among these patients. Further analyses will be needed to estimate the risk of developing UM for patients with Lynch syndrome

• Enhanced Adjuvanticity of a Personal Neoantigen Vaccine Generates Potent Neoantigen-Specific Immunity

  Personalized neoantigen-targeting vaccines can induce durable and diverse T cell responses and have been associated with improved outcomes. To augment immunogenicity, we tested a synthetic long peptide vaccine formulated with the adjuvants Montanide and poly-ICLC in 10 patients with melanoma. The vaccines, co-administered locally with ipilimumab and systemically with nivolumab, generated de novo ex vivo T cell responses against the majority of immunizing neoepitopes in all 9 fully vaccinated patients, and ex vivo CD8+ T cell responses in 6 of 9. Hundreds of circulating and intratumoral T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes emerged following vaccination that were distinct from those arising after PD-1 inhibition. By linking vaccine-specificity and cellular phenotype of TCRs in post-treatment tumors at single cell resolution, we demonstrate remodeling of the intratumoral T cell repertoire following vaccination. These observations demonstrate the impact of multi-pronged immune adjuvanticity on the T cell repertoire in the context of neoantigen-targeting vaccines. We are submitting WES data from whole blood samples and tumor FFPE samples, and RNA-seq data from tumor FFPE samples. We are also submitting RNA-seq data from purified tumor samples. scRNA-seq data will also be submitted for skin samples (pre and post neoantigen vaccine dose #3), and tumor samples before starting treatment, before starting neoantigen vaccine Dose #1, and before neoantigen vaccine dose #4. Bulk TCR-seq data will be submitted for blood samples.

• Genomic Characterization of Duke Melanoma Brain Metastases

  Previous work has shown that melanoma brain metastases (MBM) have a unique molecular profile compared to extracranial metastases (ECM). Description of the biology of MBM and associations between biological features and clinical outcomes will facilitate the design of rational therapies for patients with MBM. To better characterize the molecular profile of MBM, we conducted whole exome sequencing (WES) and total RNA sequencing on MBM tissues obtained from an independent cohort of 14 patients from Duke University Medical Center. This cohort adds valuable patient samples to the field and enables strengthened investigation of somatic mutations and gene expression profiles within and between cohorts. The mutational landscape and gene expression of MBM from the Duke cohort resembled those previously reported in a previously published dataset of WES and RNA sequencing in MBM and matched ECM tissues from UT MD Anderson Cancer Center (Fischer et al., 2019 30787016). Duke MBM demonstrated similar rates of mutations in genes associated with melanoma, including BRAF, NRAS, and PTEN, as the MD Anderson cohort. Immune populations in MBM were similar between Duke and MD Anderson MBM, though Duke samples demonstrated more resting CD4+ memory T cells. The ratio of M2 to M1 macrophages in the Duke cohort was similar to that of the MD Anderson cohort. In MBM, a higher M2:M1 ratio may contribute to an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment. Sequencing data and sample attributes from MBM tissues obtained from 14 patients from Duke University Medical Center will be available through dbGaP.

• Transcriptomic profiling of circulating regulatory T cells from follicular lymphoma patients before and after Lenalidomide treatment

  Lenalidomide has demonstrated a favorable efficacy profile in follicular lymphoma (FL) in combination with anti-CD20 antibodies. However, in vivo administration of Lenalidomide in FL patients triggers a proliferation of functional regulatory T cells (Tregs), and a high percentage of Tregs before and along the course of treatment with Lenalidomide/anti-CD20 combination is of poor prognosis. In this study, we evaluated the impact of Lenalidomide on circulating Treg in 3 FL patients using single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). For this purpose, we took advantage of the GALEN clinical trial (NCT01582776), where Lenalidomide was initiated one week before starting the anti-CD20 antibody Obinutuzumab, allowing us to compare the transcriptomic profile of immune cells before (D0) and at day 7 (D7) of treatment by Lenalidomide alone.

• mRNA-seq of paired Follicular Lymphoma (FL) patient samples before and after high-grade transformation to DLBCL (FL vs. tFL) from FFPE tissues

  The aim of this study was to analyze transcriptional changes in paired samples of follicular lymphoma (FL) and its histological transformation (tFL). Transformation of FL is an adverse event in the course of the disease and is associated with poor outcome. Several genetic aberrations have been linked to tFL pathogenesis, but gene expression changes and microenvironmental interactions have not been well characterized. We performed RNA profiling of FL and paired tFL samples transformed to DLBCL (n=11 pairs). For RNA profiling, we utilized libraries prepared using RNA isolated from archival FFPE tissues.

• Clinical Outcomes of 344 Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma patients

  This study examines clinical outcomes of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We analyzed a cohort of 344 patients from the German High-Grade Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Study Group (DSHNHL). To protect patient confidentiality, all samples were pseudonymized. The dataset includes clinical key characteristics, such as patient age at diagnosis, sex, ECOG performance status, disease stage, serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, bulky disease, bone marrow involvement, extranodal involvement, and B-symptoms. We used these data alongside proteomic and transcriptomic profiles to explore relationships between clinical features and molecular signatures, reconstructing regulatory networks. Insights from this integrative analysis aim to identify key pathological drivers and biomarkers of DLBCL progression, ultimately informing improved risk stratification and targeted therapeutic approaches.

• Spatial Transcriptomics Uncovers Tumor Microenvironment-Based Subtypes in Invasive Lobular Carcinoma

  Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) is the second most common histological subtype of breast cancer (BC); however, little is known about its tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we investigated the spatial architecture of 43 hormone-receptor-positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) primary ILC samples, using spatial transcriptomics and detailed morphological annotation. By integrating morphology, spatial, and single-cell data, we mapped TME-related cell types, exploring their proximity to tumor cells and their enrichment in specific compartments. Clustering of spatial transcriptomics spots revealed significant inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, identifying pathways and cell types linked with disease outcomes. Morphological and gene expression data were finally integrated with a multimodal approach, leading to the identification of 4 new ILC subtypes based on TME heterogeneity. By using derived, specific gene expression signatures, these subtypes were identified and validated in external bulk RNA-seq/microarray datasets (SCAN-B and METABRIC), where differences in prognosis emerged.

• Changes in AXL and/or MITF melanoma subpopulations in patients receiving immunotherapy

  Our data demonstrate large interpatient variability and variable therapy-induced changes independent of the type of therapy. We identify the presence of previously described AXL+ and MITF+ subpopulations in metastatic tissues both at the mRNA level and in situ at the protein level, and demonstrate that MITF+ melanoma cells are significantly decreased upon immunotherapy, while AXL+ melanoma cell numbers are stable. MITF+ tumor cells showed the most significant inverse correlation with CD8+ T cells. Our patient cohort also shows that immunotherapy-induced changes in the abundance of AXL+ or MITF+ tumor cells did not correlate with improved survival.

• The Oral Microbiome and Head and Neck Cancer

  Oral microbiota may influence head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) development, potentially related to carcinogen metabolism. The human oral cavity hosts a diverse microbiota, including bacteria and fungi. We performed shotgun sequencing and ITS1 sequencing on 236 HNSCC case participants who developed HNSCC during a mean follow-up of 5.1 years and 458 matched controls who remained HNSCC-free. Oral samples were obtained from a prospective nested case-control study within three epidemiological cohorts: the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study II Nutrition Cohort (ACS CPS-II), the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCO), and the Southern Community Cohort Study (SCCS). Control participants were selected using 2:1 frequency matching based on cohort, age, sex, race and ethnicity, and time since oral sample collection.

• Oncogenome of Kaposi Sarcoma

  Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is an aggressive cancer caused by the Kaposi Sarcoma Herpesvirus (KSHV/HHV-8). Individuals with immunodeficiencies, exemplified by HIV, have an elevated risk of developing KS. However, understanding of the genetic factors contributing to KS progression is still limited. To explore potential genetic alterations in KS that could offer biological or therapeutic insights, whole exome sequencing was performed on 78 KS tumors and matching normal skin samples from 59 adults with KS (46 with HIV-associated KS and 13 with HIV-negative KS) receiving treatment at the Uganda Cancer Institute in Kampala, Uganda. Results showed a very low mutational burden in all samples except one (median = 11 mutations), which is the smallest number of mutations found across all 33 cancer types in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). No recurrent mutations were identified. Mutational signatures included impaired DNA mismatch repair and smoking. There was no evidence suggesting that multiple tumors from the same patient originated from a single clone. The number of genome copy alterations per genome was higher in tumors from individuals without HIV and those with advanced-stage disease. This suggests that lesions that take longer to develop may accumulate more alterations, although the overall number of alterations remains low compared to other cancers. These findings suggest that KS pathogenesis differs from other cancers, with KSHV viral infection and the expression of viral oncogenes being the primary drivers of carcinogenesis, rather than clonal oncogenic transformation arising from genetic alterations of cancer-related cellular genes.
