• Study of Tumor Recurrence Related to the Expression of the PAX3-FOXO1 Oncogenic Transcription Factor in Fusion-Positive Rhabdomyosarcoma

  Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is a highly aggressive pediatric soft tissue cancer characterized by a recurrent 2;13 chromosome translocation. This translocation generates a PAX3-FOXO1 (P3F) fusion gene, which encodes a chimeric transcription factor with oncogenic activity. Using a human myoblast system that models targeted therapy directed against P3F, we demonstrated that the expression of the fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8), a direct transcriptional target of P3F, is necessary and sufficient for PAX3-FOXO1-independent tumor recurrence in addition to be required for the tumorigenic activity of primary tumors expressing P3F. In addition, we showed that FGF8 is expressed in human rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines that express P3F. We also demonstrated that FGF8 contributes to their proliferation and transformation in vitro, and is sufficient to maintain their oncogenicity after the loss of P3F expression. We suggest that targeting the expression of the PAX3-FOXO1 transcription factor can generate resistance and recommend that additional anticipated therapeutic approaches, such as targeting FGF8 pathway, may avoid this resistance mechanism.

• IL-27 promotes tumour control by enhancing cytotoxic T cell function

  Cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL) are essential for anti-tumour immunity but are frequently dysfunctional in established tumours. Here, we show that expression of a CTL signature is strongly associated with IL-27 expression in diverse human and murine tumours. In mice, IL-27 acts directly on tumour-specific CTL to promote their persistence and effector function in the tumor microenvironment. Moreover, treatment with inducible IL-27 overexpression or a half-life-extended IL-27 protein in vivo is well tolerated, induces regression of large established tumours, drives an enhanced cytotoxic program in anti-tumour CTL, and synergizes with PD-L1 blockade. In cancer patients treated with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy, high expression of IL-27 is associated with improved clinical response. Finally, IL-27 increases cytotoxicity and limits terminal differentiation of human CD8+ T cells during chronic antigen exposure. Our data demonstrate that endogenous IL-27 is essential for anti-tumour immunity and that IL-27 receptor agonism can safely improve anti-tumor T cell responses alone or in combination with PD-L1 blockade.

• Notch Signaling and Efficacy PD-1/PD-L1 Blockade in Relapsed Small Cell Lung Cancer

  Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine (NE) cancer that accounts for approximately 15% of all lung cancer, with an annual incidence of more than 34,000 in the United States alone. SCLC is characterized by loss of function of p53 and RB and high tumor mutational burden, which suggests that these tumors could be immunogenic and respond to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, the benefit from ICB in an unselected SCLC population is modest. In this study, we evaluated the genomic features associated with clinical outcomes in relapsed SCLC to gain insight into the underlying mechanisms of ICB response. Exome, RNA and TCR sequencing data from a prospective clinical trial of relapsed SCLC treated with durvalumab and olaparib and RNA-sequencing data for second cohort of relapsed SCLC cohort treated with nivolumab are included.

• Breast Cancer Susceptibility

  Genetic factors account for a large fraction of breast cancer risk and it is estimated that up to 30% of breast cancers have a heritable component. Inherited cancer susceptibility is associated with early-onset of malignancies in general. Although 20% of young women with breast cancer have germline mutations in the best understood breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53, in the remaining 80% of women with early-onset breast cancer, the genetic factors contributing to disease remain unexplained. By studying the extreme phenotype of women diagnosed at an early age there is enrichment for genetic factors that contribute to breast cancer. This study contains the whole exome sequence of 384 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer prior to 40 years of age. Each of the subjects reported a family history of breast cancer and lacked mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2.

• Investigation_of_mutational_signatures_associated_with_DNMT3A_deficiency_

  Mutational signatures have been shown to be attributable to specific genetic contexts, such as mutations in DNA repair genes. DNMT3A is a DNA methyltransferase that helps maintain the DNA methylation pattern in a site-specific manner and may participate in DNA repair or the stress response. We have identified an adult individual who is a germline mosaic for a DNMT3A mutation. We have obtained clonal lymphoblastoid cells (LCLs) from the subject representing both WT and mutant lines grown in the same individual for >50 years. These clones represent a unique opportunity to examine the mutational impact of the DNMT3A mutation in a well-controlled setting. Our goal is to perform WGS on whole blood, representing the pool, as well as several WT and several mutant clones, in order to investigate the contribution of DNMT3A to mutation rates and signatures.

• SudanMitoSeq: Sudanese mitochondrial sequencing

  In various contexts, mitochondrial function or dysfunction can be linked to mitochondrial genome variations. The use of mitochondrial genetics thus promises personalized diagnostics and treatments. In order to devise specific precision medicine approaches based on mitochondrial genetic variation and to test them within clinical studies, control data is indispensable. Such control data needs to comprehensively cover genetic variation commonly observed and thus expected. In the context of this study we assessed whether current, world-wide mitochondrial data sufficiently represents the region of North and East Africa, that is, whether current reference data is ready for precision medicine in this region. Towards this, we sequenced mitochondrial genomes of 159 Sudanese individuals provided as part of this EGA study and analyzed them together with various other, publicly available data concerning mitochondrial variation. For details, please refer to the publication.

• PDX_models_from_Latin_America_WES_

  Acral melanoma (AM) is a subtype of cutaneous melanoma that occurs on glabrous skin of the hands and feet (palms, soles and nail apparatus) and which is relatively more common in non-European descent populations such as those of Latin America. Compared to other subtypes, it is poorly studied and experimental models that faithfully reproduce human AM features are urgently needed. We report the generation and preliminary characterisation of a collection of patient-derived xenografts of acral melanomas (AM-PDX) from Latin-American patients. PDX came from Brazilian and Mexican patients cared for at the Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA) and the Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia (INCan). The majority of the samples are acral lentiginous melanomas, ulcerated, with > 4mm Breslow depth and > 2 mitosis / mm2. Samples were mechanically fragmented and subcutaneously implanted in NSG mice and then collected for molecular analysis.
