Phylogenetic analysis of paired breast carcinomas identifies genetic events associated with clonal recurrence and invasive progression

Development of ipsilateral breast carcinoma following diagnosis of breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) has been assumed to represent recurrence of the primary tumour. However, this may not be the case and it is important to know how often recurrences are new tumours. Ipsilateral primary-recurrence pairs (n=78) were sequenced to test their clonal relatedness. Shared genetic events were identified from whole exome sequencing (n=54 pairs) using haplotype-specific copy number and phylogenetic analysis. The remaining pairs were sequenced by a targeted panel or low-coverage whole genome sequencing. We included 32 non-recurrent DCIS to compare recurrent and non-recurrent disease. We found that 7% of DCIS recurrences were non-clonal by whole exome sequencing, indicative of a new breast carcinoma. Lower resolution methods detected a higher non-clonality rate (29%). Comparing primary DCIS with their recurrences found that evolution of DCIS to invasive disease was associated with increased ploidy and copy number events. TP53 mutations were enriched in DCIS with clonal recurrence compared with non-recurrent DCIS. Our results verify that de novo “recurrent tumours” of independent origin occur in patients who may be at high risk. (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.05.19.594731v2.full)

DEPArray-based sorting of pure carcinoma and stromal populations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues followed by targeted sequencing

To overcome the challenges of low DNA yields, degraded DNA by formalin fixation and diluted signal of genomic aberrations by non-carcinoma components in the heterogeneous FFPE samples, we isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cells using the DEPArray™ NxT system, a microchip-based digital sorter that allows isolation of pure, homogeneous subpopulations of cells from FFPE samples. We isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cell populations from 12 FFPE tissues, including tissues from 9 primary and metastatic breast cancer and 3 primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas. This was followed by a targeted panel for somatic mutation and sCNA analysis (7 samples), subject to cell availability. Mutation analysis was performed successfully in 6/7 samples and somatic mutations were detected in all of them.

DEPArray-based sorting of pure carcinoma and stromal populations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues followed by shallow whole genome sequencing

To overcome the challenges of low DNA yields, degraded DNA by formalin fixation and diluted signal of genomic aberrations by non-carcinoma components in the heterogeneous FFPE samples, we isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cells using the DEPArray™ NxT system, a microchip-based digital sorter that allows isolation of pure, homogeneous subpopulations of cells from FFPE samples. We isolated pure carcinoma and stromal cell populations from 12 FFPE tissues, including tissues from 9 primary and metastatic breast cancer and 3 primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinomas. This was followed by downstream shallow whole genome sequencing (WGS) for copy number landscape profiling for 10 samples. Seven out of 10 samples (even some with low tumour content or of old age) produced good quality genomic data, detecting sCNA in all carcinoma population samples but not in the stromal populations.

Co-culture experiment (hashed samples)

The principles governing tissue architecture and the mechanisms underlying its disruption in disease remain poorly understood. Here, we utilized single-cell and spatial mapping to interrogate the mechanisms directing immune cell organization in human lymph nodes and its disruption in architecturally distinct lymphoma entities: indolent follicular lymphoma (FL) and aggressive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Our data substantiate the central role of lymph node stromal cells in chemokine-driven lymphocyte zonation and reveal an inflammatory feedback loop fueled by tumor-reactive T cells, triggering stromal remodeling, progressive loss of homeostatic chemokine gradients and tissue organization from non-malignant to FL and DLBCL. Loss of homeostatic chemokines was associated with adverse patient survival, identifying the underlying architectural rearrangement as a key event during lymphomagenesis. Collectively, our results highlight the principles of lymph node organization and suggest how lymphoma-induced microenvironmental reprogramming drives loss of tissue organization.

Deciphering the aggressive nature of morphoeic basal cell carcinoma

Morphoeic basal cell carcinoma (mBCC) has a high risk of local recurrence compared to the more indolent nodular subtype reflected by a different set of driver mutations including FLNB and HECTD4. Surrounding mBCC stroma is abnormal, containing mutations such as EPHA3. Hedgehog pathway over-expression is seen in both the tumour and stroma of morphoeic tissue with the latter potentially being partly responsible for its aggressive nature and risk of recurrence.

How to use the EGA search box

Tips on how to search Tip 1: Use simple and clear keywords No matter what you are searching: a study, a dataset or a committee; the search will look recursively in all the fields of all the entities in the database. Thus, there is no need to specify which type of data you are looking for. Try to use single and specific words and avoid long and complex expressions. Try it out: cancer rna-seq instead of cancer studies using RNA-seq. Tip 2: Narrow your results using search operators Search operators give you more control over the results. They manage the way keywords are used to restrict the search. By default, the search engine applies an OR operator when a space is inserted between two words. Include AND (capitalised) between the keywords in your search in order to show only pages containing both terms. Try it out: Search all the studies based on transcriptomic data, including those ones that use RNA sequencing to obtain this data. Tip 3: Do not worry about details The search engine automatically checks for the most common spelling mistakes of given words and suggests the use of the correct version. It also ignores capital letters and most punctuation so none of these mistakes will hamper the accuracy of your search. Besides, when using a combination of words, the search engine will suggest similar combinations with a higher number of results. Tip 4: Use words that are likely to appear within the text Unfortunately, our search engine is not able to interpret words yet. Therefore, words which do not appear in the body text will not return any result despite them denoting a group of present terms. For instance, if we are looking for studies focused on neurological diseases, using neurological as a keyword would not be the best option. Instead, you should use the name of each neurological disease such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or depression. In the same fashion, incomplete words do not return any result. Please include an asterisk (*) before and/or after the incomplete word in order to allow for partial matching. Try it out: canc* instead of canc(without wildcard). Also you can try out *oma, or even *geneti* Tip 5: Narrow down your search by filtering the results You can filter the results by the following options: general, study, and dataset. Under these categories, you will find more sub-filters to refine your search. Make sure that you click on Apply in order to filter the results. You can clear the filtering anytime.

MATISSE WES and bulk RNA-sequencing data

High-risk cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is frequently seen in frail, elderly patients and often requires mutilating surgical treatment and adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). The MATISSE trial (NCT04620200) was conducted to improve clinical prospects in CSCC patients eligible for extensive curative surgery, and evaluated early treatment response and immune dynamics following ultra-short neoadjuvant immunotherapy prior to standard of care surgery with or without radiotherapy. Fifty patients were randomized to receive two courses of nivolumab 3 mg/kg (NIVO, weeks 0&2) or nivolumab 3 mg/kg (weeks 0&2) and one course of ipilimumab 1 mg/kg (week 0 only, NIVO/IPI before surgery at week 4, with the primary objective being histopathological response based on residual viable tumor cells in the surgical specimen. Ten patients choose not to undergo surgery, of whom nine reached a clinical complete response during follow up, and were disease-free at median 34 months follow up. Serial tumor and blood samples at baseline, week 1, week 2 and week 4, enabled to investigate dynamical changes through bulk WES and RNA sequencing to potentially aid future de-escalation trials.

Spatial profiling of hepatocellular carcinoma identifies distinct tumor and immune micro-ecosystems related to patient outcomes

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows substantial intra-tumor heterogeneity that remains poorly understood. Using spatial transcriptomics, we identified 13 recurrent tumor and stromal micro-ecosystems (MES) and mapped their spatial organization and biological functions. One immune-enriched MES containing Kupffer cell–like macrophages was strongly associated with improved disease-free survival and response to atezolizumab–bevacizumab. Our findings demonstrate the value of spatial profiling for revealing rare but clinically meaningful cellular communities.
