• Rituximab-treated lymphoma patients show correlated deficiency in serological and T cell Spike-specific response after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination: insights from the CORSA Study.

  This study is part of the CORSA trial (NCT04345315), a prospective multicentric research project conducted by the Istituto Romagnolo per lo Studio dei Tumori “Dino Amadori” to investigate the immunologic response to mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM) and healthy individuals as controls (HC). The data in this repository refer to two subcohorts: 7 healthy controls and 10 lymphoma patients, randomly selected. Whole blood samples were collected to characterize T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire specificity against SARS-CoV-2 proteins before and after two BNT162b2 vaccination cycles, at baseline (before vaccination), 50 days after the first dose (V1), and 6 months after the first dose (V3). All participants were vaccinated under the Italian national campaign and provided informed consent following the Declaration of Helsinki. We investigated SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell responses through TCR repertoire profiling and examined correlations between serological and cellular responses in both patient and control groups. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to characterize the CDR3 sequences of TCR β-chains from peripheral blood, we assessed clonal expansion (depth) and diversification (breadth) of SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell clonotypes over time, aiming to understand how cancer and its treatment influence vaccine-induced immunity in immunocompromised individuals.

• Whole genome sequences of Japanese colorectal cancer

  We analysed whole-genome sequences from paired tumour and normal samples collected from 60 Japanese colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Tumor tissues were obtained from surgically resected specimens of patients with CRC. Matched non-tumor DNA was primarily extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes; in selected cases, non-neoplastic colonic mucosa collected from regions anatomically distant from the primary tumor was also used as a normal control. Genomic DNA was extracted from primary tumor tissues and matched peripheral blood samples. WGS libraries with an average insert size of 550 bp were prepared from 2 microgram of genomic DNA using the TruSeq DNA PCR-Free Library Preparation Kit (Illumina). Sequencing was performed on the NovaSeq 6000 platform (Illumina) with 150 bp PE reads. Using this data, we performed analyses of mutational signatures, driver genes, and structural alterations.

• Fecal microbiome subtype affects the clinical and genomic aberrations of colorectal cancer

  Colorectal cancers (CRCs) have been categorized based on histopathological characteristics or genomic abnormalities, such as gene expression. These classifications have gained widespread acceptance and application in clinical practice. It has become evident in recent times that there is a connection between gut bacteria and CRC. However, the extent to which the diversity of CRC and the gut microbiota are linked has not been extensively investigated. We conducted a comprehensive analysis that integrated whole genome and whole transcriptome data of CRC tissues, along with stool-derived whole genome metagenome analysis. Our approach to accurately stratify CRC involved the utilization of explainable AI, which allowed us to classify the disease into four distinct subtypes based on the composition of gut microbiota.

• Cell-free DNA methylation profiling for non-invasive detection and classification of lymphoma

  Compared with traditional tissue biopsies used for lymphoma diagnosis, cell-free DNA methylation profiling offers a minimally invasive approach capable of capturing lymphoma-specific epigenetic alterations. This study investigates genome-wide methylation patterns in plasma using cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq). Differential methylation analysis of discovery samples identified lymphoma-associated hypermethylated regions that were used to develop classification models for lymphoma detection. Validation analyses demonstrated high accuracy and strong associations between cfDNA methylation scores and independent measures of tumor burden and clinical outcome. These findings support cfDNA methylation profiling as a sensitive approach for non-invasive lymphoma diagnosis.

• Intratumoral Ploidy Dynamics in HCC

  Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Effective therapies are limited, highlighting the critical need for stratification biomarkers to improve prognosis and predict treatment response. Polyploidization or hyperploidization, an early event observed in many solid cancers, may offer such potential. Here, we developed a new high throughput in situ quantitative approach to assess HCC ploidy profiles. This novel method highlights the presence of both Diploid (DP-) and Hyperploid (HP-) HCCs. RNA-seq profiling classified hyperploid HCCs as belonging to the proliferation subclass, predicting unfavourable clinical outcomes, and revealing a gene expression signature indicative of stemness. Spatially reconstructing nuclear ploidy also revealed DP/HP-HCCs with hyperploid nuclei forming discrete clusters within a predominantly diploid background. Remarkably, these emerging hyperploid foci shared a portion of their transcriptomic programme with fully developed hyperploid HCCs and displayed a signature of genomic instability, including upregulation of multiple DNA repair pathways in response to replication-associated DNA damage. Importantly, spatial transcriptomics of DP/HP HCC demonstrated that hyperploid tumor hepatocytes arise through whole-genome doubling of diploid tumor hepatocytes. Collectively, our findings underscore the prognostic value of nuclear ploidy profiling in HCC and suggest that hyperploid HCCs evolve clonally from intratumor hyperploid foci during tumor progression.

• Human PMS1-dependent non-canonical mismatch repair converges with MBD4 to repair 5-methylcytosine deamination

  CpG dinucleotides are mutational hotspots due to spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), resulting in T:G mismatches that can lead to CpG>TpG transitions. These mutations are a hallmark of aging and cancer and play a central role in the evolution of vertebrate genomes. We have previously uncovered MBD4 as the primary Base Excision Repair (BER) glycosylase responsible for 5mC deamination repair. Here, we employ an APOBEC1 deaminase fused to a catalytically dead Cas9 to induce targeted 5mC deamination independently of DNA replication, and track its repair in human cells. This approach reveals that MBD4 elicits a coordinated repair response with a non-canonical branch of Mismatch Repair (MMR) involving complexes MutLβ (MLH1-PMS1) and MutSα (MSH2-MSH6). We demonstrate that human PMS1 loss phenocopies the CpG>TpG hypermutation associated with MBD4 deficiency, revealing 5mC deamination repair as one of its main functions. Structural predictions with functional validation reveal that MBD4 activity is dependent on its physical interaction with MutLβ. In alignment with our experimental data, we show that the CpG>TpG mutational burden of MMR-deficient tumors is partly explained by replication-independent processes. Altogether, we uncover a novel function of non-canonical MMR that underscores its interplay with BER in safeguarding genomic integrity against damage to methylated DNA.

• LySeqST: A targeted sequencing assay for robust genomic classification of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

  Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a biologically heterogeneous disease. Two genomic classification systems, LymphGen and DLBclass, are capable of reproducibly classifying single tumors into subtypes with prognostic relevance in the context of standard-of-care R-CHOP chemoimmunotherapy. Preliminary data from subgroup analyses of clinical trials suggest that the distinct biological features are targetable with drugs that exploit subtype-specific vulnerabilities, and large clinical trials are being designed to test this hypothesis. Although whole exome sequencing (WES) remains the gold standard for each of these classification systems, many laboratories may opt for smaller targeted sequencing panels that reduce costs associated with sequencing, data storage, and processing. Here, we describe the design and validation of a targeted sequencing panel (LySeqST) that captures the genomic features required specifically for LymphGen classification. We perform in silico and real-world validation vs. WES data and demonstrate that LySeqST can be used to accurately classify DLBCL tumors. In an unselected population-based cohort, we determine the real-world proportions and validate the prognostic relevance of LymphGen subtypes, confirming that only tumors expressing the dark zone gene expression signature are consistently associated with inferior outcomes. Our results support the use of LySeqST for accurate genomic classification of DLBCL.
