• Loss of SDHB promotes dysregulated iron homeostasis, oxidative stress and sensitivity to ascorbate

  Succinate dehydrogenase is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and the electron transport chain. All four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase are tumor suppressor genes predisposing to paraganglioma, but only mutations in the SDHB subunit are associated with increased risk of metastasis. Here we generated an Sdhd knockout chromaffin cell line and compared it to Sdhb-deficient cells. Both cell types exhibited similar SDH loss of function, metabolic adaptation, and succinate accumulation. In contrast, Sdhb-/- cells showed hallmarks of mesenchymal transition associated with increased DNA hypermethylation and a stronger pseudo-hypoxic phenotype compared to Sdhd-/- cells. Loss of SDHB specifically led to increased oxidative stress associated with dysregulated iron and copper homeostasis in the absence of NRF2 activation. High-dose ascorbate exacerbated the increase in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species, leading to cell death in Sdhb-/- cells. These data establish a mechanism linking oxidative stress to iron homeostasis that specifically occurs in SDHB deficient cells and may promote metastasis. They also highlight high-dose ascorbate as a promising therapeutic strategy for SDHB-related cancers.

• Methylation sequencing dataset for "Molecular counting enables accurate and precise quantification of methylated ctDNA"

  Methylation sequencing dataset for "Molecular counting enables accurate and precise quantification of methylated ctDNA." This dataset was created by running samples through Northstar Response, where bisulfite converted samples are amplified in a multiplex PCR targeting more than 500 genomic regions. Samples in this dataset include contrived samples made from 84 different tumors DNA, each mixed with their matched buffy coat DNA at varying ratios, as well as cfDNA and buffy coat DNA samples collected from 67 cancer patients undergoing treatment. All samples were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 2000 with single end 100 cycle sequencing; files are in fastq.gz format.

• Targeted panel somatic variant sequencing dataset for "Molecular counting enables accurate and precise quantification of methylated ctDNA"

  Targeted panel somatic variant sequencing dataset for "Molecular counting enables accurate and precise quantification of methylated ctDNA." This dataset was created by running 60 cfDNA samples from patients with metastatic cancer to the lung through a research-use, tumor-naive, targeted-panel assay for measuring somatic mutations across a panel of 80 genes. All samples were sequenced on Illumina NextSeq 2000 with 150x2 paired end sequencing; files are in fastq.gz format. For the original study, the variant allele fractions of these somatic mutations were compared with the Tumor Methylation Scores calculated from Northstar Response in the same samples.

• FOCUS Trial

  We studied patients with advanced colorectal cancer, starting treatment with non-curative intent. 2135 unpretreated patients were randomly assigned to three treatment strategies in the ratio 1:1:1. Strategy A (control group) was single-agent fl uorouracil (given with levofolinate over 48 h every 2 weeks) until failure, then single-agent irinotecan. Strategy B was fl uorouracil until failure, then combination chemotherapy. Strategy C was combination chemotherapy from the outset.

• Luminal progenitor cell line iHBEC(CD117)

  Basal-like breast cancer originates in luminal progenitors, frequently with an altered PI3K pathway, and focally in close association with genetically altered myoepithelial cells at the site of tumor initiation. The exact trajectory behind this bi-lineage phenomenon remains poorly understood. Here we used a breast cancer relevant transduction protocol including hTERT, shp16, shp53, and PIK3CA(H1047R) to immortalize FACS isolated luminal cells, and we identified a candidate multipotent progenitor. We found that the apparent luminal phenotype of these oncogene transduced progenitors was metastable giving rise to basal-like cells dependent on culture conditions. After culturing the cells for more than 60 passages, cells were subjected to scRNA-seq as well as bulk RNA sequencing of two subpopulations (CD271+ and CD271-).

• cfDNA methylation profiling on longitudinally collected blood plasma of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma

  Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is an aggressive cancer characterized by a high risk of relapse post-surgery. Analyzing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood plasma emerges as a promising avenue for therapy response monitoring. This study aims to evaluate the cost-effective and genome-wide cell-free reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (cfRRBS) method combined with computational deconvolution for effective disease monitoring in EAC patients.

• AYA glioma NGS

  Gliomas are a major cause of cancer-related death in adolescents and young adults (AYA, ages 15-39 years). Different molecular alterations drive gliomas in children and adults leading to distinct biology and clinical consequences. At the convergence of these age groups - the AYA population – little is known about the implications of pediatric vs adult-type alterations. To address this, we analyzed a population-based cohort of 1456 clinically and molecularly characterized gliomas aged 0-39 years. Potentially targetable pediatric-type alterations were found in 31% of AYA gliomas and conferred superior outcomes compared to adult-type alterations. This submission includes the generated NGS data for children, adolescent, and young adults with gliomas. Data includes targeted panel of glioma genes and low-pass WGS (1x coverage).
