• Somatic mutation in edited cholangiocyte organoids

  Primary human cells cultured in organoid format have great promise as potential regenerative cellular therapies. However, their immunogenicity and mutagenic profile remain unresolved, impeding effective long-term translation to the clinic. In this study we report, for the first time, the generation of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-I and HLA-II knock-out human expandable primary cholangiocyte organoids (PCOs) using CRISPR-Cas9 as a potential ‘universal’ low-immunogenic therapy for bile duct disorders. HLA-edited PCOs (ePCOs) displayed the same phenotypic and functional characteristics as parental unedited PCOs. Despite minimal off-target edits, duplex sequencing approaches demonstrated that ePCOs and PCOs acquire mutations in culture at similar rates, but without evident selection for cancer-driver mutations. ePCOs induced reduced T cell-mediated immunity and donor-dependent NK cell cytotoxicity in vitro and evaded cytotoxic responses with increased graft survival in humanized mice in vivo. Our findings have important implications for assessment of safety and immunogenicity of primary cell-derived organoid cellular therapies.

• Combination Immune Checkpoint Inhibition in Australian Rare Cancers_WES

  Combination immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) with anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1 blockade has demonstrated significant clinical activity across tumour types. Rare cancer patients have limited treatment options due to the scarcity of studies of novel treatment options, so they are often offered chemotherapies untested in their disease. ONJ2016-001/CA209-538 is a prospective, multicentre clinical trial of combination ICI (ipilimumab and nivolumab) in patients with advanced rare cancers, including biliary tract, adrenocortical, rare gynaecological and neuroendocrine cancers (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02923934). The primary endpoint is clinical benefit rate (complete response + partial response + stable disease >3 months) by RECIST 1.1. This study involves generation and analysis of pre-treatment formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumour DNA sequencing data, paired with germline DNA sequencing data, to potentially identify genomic biomarkers that may associate with clinical benefit or other clinical efficacy / toxicity metrics.

• The earliest stages of neoplastic transformation in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis

  Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) is caused by constitutional inactivating mutations in APC, the central gatekeeper gene of colorectal cancer, and is associated with a substantially increased lifetime-risk of colorectal cancer. To investigate the earliest stages of neoplastic change due to APC inactivation we microdissected and individually whole-genome sequenced 522 normal and abnormal colorectal crypts from 16 individuals with FAP. Colorectal crypts were isolated by laser capture microdissection and individually whole genome sequenced: 192 normal crypts; 34 crypts with regenerative changes; 23 crypts from 9 bifurcating crypts; 86 crypts from 17 aberrant crypt aggregates; 2 monocryptal adenomas which represent the simplest dysplastic crypt structures we were able to identify; 29 crypts from 9 oligocryptal adenomas; 156 crypts from 23 adenomatous polyps including 135 from 20 diminutive polyps and 21 from three large polyps.

• DERMATLAS: Hidradenoma papilliferum_RNAseq

  Virtually no other tumour type is associated with so many different forms as skin cancer. Histologically, tumours of the skin may arise from epithelium, including epidermis, hair follicle, sebaceous or sweat gland, melanocytes, dermal-associated mesenchymal structures or tissue resident immune cells, making for a diversity of clinical presentations. Importantly, many skin tumour types have an extremely poor prognosis. Many skin tumour subtypes have never undergone molecular profiling, or if they have, targeted sequencing has been used and the number of cases analyzed has been so limited that deriving firm conclusions about the profile of driver genes, DNA mutational signatures and germline alleles has not been possible.For 70 key skin tumour subtypes defined by the World Health Organization, that have not undergone extensive genetic analysis previously, we propose to perform whole exome and transcriptome sequencing, from a range of body sites, to build a genomic atlas of dermatological tumours, including detailed maps of SNVs, copy number alterations, genome-wide methylation and expression profiles.

• MethylScan data from plasma

  Raw data (fastq files) from 1061 plasma samples profiled with the MethylScan assay, a highly cost-effective approach for cfDNA methylome sequencing. MethylScan is a cost-efficient cfDNA methylome sequencing method that enriches methylation-informative fragments while actively depleting abundant background DNA derived from blood cells. By reducing this background noise, it improves the detection sensitivity for disease-associated cfDNA, such as tumor-derived DNA.The plasma samples (n = 1,061) were from 460 cancer patients (covering 4 major cancers: liver, lung, ovarian, and stomach cancer) and 601 noncancer individuals. The noncancer individuals (n = 601) can be further categorized into three groups: noncancer patients at high-risk of liver cancer who have chronic liver diseases (n = 157), noncancer patients at high-risk of lung cancer who have benign lung nodules (n = 43), and general noncancer hospital visitors (n = 401).

• Genomic and Functional Profiling of Acral Melanoma from the admixed Brazilian Population Reveals Disease Drivers and Targetable Vulnerabilities

  Acral melanoma, a subtype of melanoma characterized by its occurrence on palms, soles, and beneath the nails, presents unique challenges in diagnosis and treatment due to its distinct genetic and environmental factors. Despite recent advancements in targeted therapies for melanoma, the efficacy of treatments in acral melanoma remains limited, emphasizing the urgent need for a deeper understanding of its genetic landscape. CRISPR-based functional genomics screening has emerged as a powerful tool for uncovering genetic dependencies and potential therapeutic targets in various cancers. In this project, we present the results of CRISPR screening performed on acral melanoma cell lines to identify genes essential for cell survival and proliferation collectively termed “fitness". Through this screening approach, we aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of acral melanoma and identify novel therapeutic vulnerabilities. Our findings reveal key genetic drivers and pathways implicated in acral melanoma progression, offering potential targets for the development of precision therapies tailored to this aggressive subtype of melanoma

• Ancestry and somatic profile predict acral melanoma origin and prognosis – WXS

  Acral melanoma, which is not ultraviolet (UV)-associated, is the most common type of melanoma in several low- and middle-income countries including Mexico. Latin American samples are significantly underrepresented in global cancer genomics studies, which directly affects patients in these regions as it is known that cancer risk and incidence may be influenced by ancestry and environmental exposures. To address this, we characterise the genome and transcriptome of 123 acral melanoma tumours from 92 Mexican patients, a population notable because of its genetic admixture. Compared with other studies of melanoma, we found fewer frequent mutations in classical driver genes such as BRAF, NRAS or NF1. While most patients had predominantly Amerindian genetic ancestry, those with higher European ancestry had increased frequency of BRAF mutations and a lower median number of structural variants. The tumours with activating BRAF mutations have a transcriptional profile more similar to cutaneous non-volar melanocytes, suggesting that acral melanomas in these patients may arise from a distinct cell of origin compared to other tumours arising in these locations. KIT mutations were found in a subset of these tumours, and quadruple wild-type samples (non BRAF/NRAS/NF1/KIT) differed from mutated samples in their structural genomic profile and overall and recurrence-free survival patterns. Transcriptional profiling defined three expression clusters; these characteristics were associated with recurrence-free and overall survival. We highlight potential novel low-frequency drivers, such as PTPRJ, NF2 and RDH5. Our study enhances knowledge of this understudied disease and underscores the importance of including samples from diverse ancestries in cancer genomics studies.

• Genomics Define Malignant Transformation in Myeloma Precursor Conditions

  Multiple myeloma (MM) is consistently preceded by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). While these precursor conditions are asymptomatic, they are not entirely benign and carry a lifelong risk of progression to MM. Unlike other cancers defined by pathology, malignant transformation from MGUS or SMM to MM has so far relied on demonstration of clinical end-organ damage as morphology and cytogenetics cannot reliably distinguish them. In this study, using genomic data from 374 patients with MGUS or SMM (277 training, 97 validation), to our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time the ability to identify malignant transformation in MGUS and SMM. We introduce the concept of genomic MM and genomic MGUS to differentiate the subsets of MGUS and SMM that are biologically malignant with genomic features indistinguishable from MM from the subset that is premalignant and unlikely to progress to malignancy. Importantly, we find that most SMM has biological features of malignant transformation indistinguishable from MM. As expected, this subset that we consider having genomic MM is associated with a high risk of progression to MM although some patients remained progression-free beyond 5 years. Conversely, 60% of MGUS and 10% of SMM have no evidence of malignant transformation (genomic MGUS), with no progression during follow-up. Integration of genomic features with the 2/20/20 International Myeloma Working Group model significantly improved the prediction of progression among genomic MM. These findings support the use of genomic criteria to refine the classification and the risk stratification in myeloma precursor conditions.

• Single-cell RNA sequencing of breast cancer lung metastasis and adjacent normal tissue

  This dataset contains single-cell RNA sequencing data from two samples: L1 (breast cancer metastasis to lung) and N3 (adjacent normal lung tissue) from a female patient. The samples were processed using 10X Chromium 3' technology and sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 500. This data supports the study "Endocrine therapy reprogramming of breast cancer facilitates metastatic escape via upregulation of P-Rex1/Rac1 signalling" which investigates how endocrine therapy reprograms breast cancer cells, leading to upregulation of P-Rex1/Rac1 signalling pathways that facilitate metastatic escape. The single-cell analysis reveals cellular reprogramming mechanisms in endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancer cells that form metastases in the lung.

• MethylScan data of plasma samples

  10ng from each cfDNA sample was used as the input material. For gDNA samples, 1.5-2ug each was first sonicated by Covaris R230 system (Woburn, MA). Next, size-selection with 0.8x-1.5x two-step Ampure XP beads was performed to enrich the 150-200bp fragments. 200ng of the size-selected gDNA was used as input material. The pre-capture library construction was performed with NEB UltraII DNA library prep kit for Illumina (Ipswich, MA) and the adapter was the methylated EM-seq adapter. Before the first PCR amplification, the gDNA samples were subjected to bisulfite conversion by QIAGEN Epitect kit, and cfDNA samples were subjected to enzymatic conversion by NEBNext enzymatic methyl-seq kit if the hybrid capture panel designed for converted DNA was used downstream. Twist panel hybrid capture was performed with their standard protocol (Twist Bioscience, South San Francisco, CA). The concentration of the post-capture library after the second PCR amplification was measured by Qubit 1xdsDNA HS kit (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA). Their quality was examined by TBE-UREA PAGE and Bioanalyzer before sequencing. Libraries were then sequenced with 150bp paired-end reads on Illumina machines by Genewiz, Inc. (South Plainfield, NJ, USA). This dataset contains MethylScan data of the plasma samples from 248 noncancer individuals and 27 cancer patients (17 liver and 10 GI-tract cancers).

• On-target mutations confer resistance to WRN helicase inhibitors in Microsatellite Unstable Cancer Cells

  This study investigates genetic dependencies and resistance mechanisms to Werner helicase inhibitors (WRNi) in microsatellite-unstable (MSI) cancer models. To define determinants of WRN dependency and acquired resistance, we performed genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens, CRISPR base-editing mutagenesis screens targeting WRN, targeted sequencing of resistance-associated variants, bulk RNA sequencing, and whole-genome sequencing. The datasets deposited in EGA comprise raw sequencing files from CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens, CRISPR base-editing screens, targeted DNA sequencing, RNA-seq experiments, and whole-genome sequencing of parental and drug-treated cell populations, including models with spontaneously acquired resistance. These data enable investigation of WRN synthetic lethality, genetic modifiers of WRNi response, and genomic alterations emerging under selective pressure.

• Systemic mutagen exposures reported by normal kidney cell genomes - peripheral blood samples (NanoSeq)

  Lifestyle, environmental and other exposures to exogenous mutagens generate somatic mutations in normal human cells in vivo and increase cancer risk. However, the global repertoire of exogenous mutagen exposures is uncertain. Using single-molecule duplex sequencing of normal kidney (n=319) and blood (n=272) samples from 10 countries, we show that kidney proximal tubule cells exhibit higher mutation rates than most normal cell types despite low cell division rates. Compared to cells from kidney glomeruli, medulla, distal tubules, or peripheral blood, proximal tubule cells show marked enrichment of mutational signatures due to the exogenous carcinogenic mutagens, aristolochic acids, and of several signatures of unknown causes. The results suggest the existence of multiple, common, systemically circulated mutagens affecting human populations and indicate that the genomes of kidney proximal tubule cells report such exposures with high sensitivity.

• Common early-life exposure of the colorectal epithelium to the microbiome-derived mutagen colibactin

  Colibactin is a mutagen produced by bacterial strains in the colorectal microbiomes of some healthy people. It generates somatic mutations characterised by the mutational signatures SBS88 and ID18 in normal human colorectal epithelial cells in vivo. Increasing prevalence of colibactin mutagenesis during the 20th century is hypothesised to have caused recent international increases in early-onset colorectal cancer incidence. Here, we establish the early-life prevalence, timing, mutation burdens and distribution through the colon of colibactin mutagenesis by sequencing normal colorectal epithelial cell genomes to detect SBS88 and ID18 in children and adolescents from the UK and Denmark biopsied between 2016 and 2024. Colibactin mutagenesis was found in ~40% individuals. It starts soon after birth and often ceases by age five years, although some children show longer exposures. Mutation burdens are higher in the left than right colon and show substantial variation between exposed individuals, in some causing >100-fold increases in total mutation loads compared to unexposed children of the same age. Therefore, colorectal mutagenesis by colibactin is currently common in some populations, occurs during early childhood and can produce markedly elevated somatic mutation burdens. The future public health implications of this widespread mutagen exposure will depend on clarification of its role in colorectal cancer causation.
