• Non-invasive prediction of immunotherapy response (NIPIT) project

  This project aims to find transcriptomic biomarkers for immunotherapy response prediction in several cancer types. So far, we have performed poly-A RNA-seq using whloe blood and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 33 non-small cell lung cancer patients, collected before and after the start of immunotherapy.

• Paired Biopsy Project: West Coast Dream Team

  This project aims to analyze the paired metastatic biopsy samples from patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), collected before the initiation of the first-line androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) for mCRPC and after radiographic disease progression on that ARSI, to understand the resistance mechanisms. We generated both whole genome sequencing (WGS) and RNA-seq data on these samples. A majority of these samples have been deposited in the public domain along with prior publications, and this project contains the 16 WGS samples that have not yet been deposited.

• Heterogeneity of IKZF1 genomic alterations and risk of relapse in childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  Purpose Genomic alterations of IKZF1 are common and associated with adverse clinical features in B-ALL, but the relationship between the type of IKZF1 alteration, disease subtype and outcome are incompletely understood. Patients and Methods We used transcriptome and genomic sequencing, and SNP microarray data to determine leukemia subtype and genomic alterations for 688 pediatric patients with B-ALL enrolled into St. Jude Total Therapy 15 and 16 studies. Results IKZF1 alterations were identified in 115 (16.7%) patients, commonly in BCR::ABL1 (78%) and CRLF2-rearranged, BCR::ABL1-like B-ALL (70%), and were associated with five-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) of 14.8 ± 3.3% compared to 5.0 ± 0.9% for patients without any IKZF1 alteration (P < 0.0001). IKZF1 deletions of exon 4-7 (P = 0.0002), genomic IKZF1plus with any IKZF1 deletion (P = 0.006) or with focal IKZF1 deletion (P = 0.0007), and unfavorable genomic subtypes (P < 0.005) were independently adversely prognostic. Patients with both IKZF1 exon 4-7 deletion and unfavorable genomic subtype had a significantly increased risk of relapse (HR = 58.3; 95% CI, 11.9 – 285.4, P < 0.0001) whereas IKZF1 sequence mutations were not independently predictive of outcome. Conclusions Genomic IKZF1plus with any IKZF1 deletion, IKZF1 deletion of exon 4-7, and unfavorable subtype confer increased risk of relapse. The combination of unfavorable genomic subtype and IKZF1 deletion of exon 4-7 identified patients at greatest risk of relapse despite MRD-directed therapy. The type of IKZF1 alteration together with subtype are informative for risk stratification and predict response in patients with B-ALL.

• Systematic dissection of tumor-normal single-cell ecosystems across a thousand tumors of 30 cancer types

  The complexity of the tumor microenvironment poses significant challenges in cancer therapy. Here, to comprehensively investigate the tumor-normal ecosystems, we perform an integrative analysis of 4.9 million single-cell transcriptomes from 1,070 tumor and 493 normal samples in combination with pan-cancer 137 spatial transcriptomics, 8,887 TCGA, and 1,261 checkpoint inhibitor-treated bulk tumors. We define a myriad of cell states constituting the tumor-normal ecosystems and also identify hallmark gene signatures across different cell types and organs. Our atlas characterizes distinctions between inflammatory fibroblasts marked by AKR1C1 or WNT5A in terms of cellular interactions and spatial co-localization patterns. Co-occurrence analysis reveals interferon-enriched community states including tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) components, which exhibit differential rewiring between tumor, adjacent normal, and healthy normal tissues. The favorable response of interferon-enriched community states to immunotherapy is validated using immunotherapy-treated cancers (n=1,261) including our lung cancer cohort (n=497). Deconvolution of spatial transcriptomes discriminates TLS-enriched from non-enriched cell types among immunotherapy-favorable components. Our systematic dissection of tumor-normal ecosystems provides a deeper understanding of inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity.

• ROBUST (NCT02285062)

  The ROBUST clinical trial is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to compare the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide plus R-CHOP chemotherapy (R2-CHOP) versus placebo plus R-CHOP in newly diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Molecular data was collected for all patients at screening, but the only patients of the Activated B-cell (ABC) cell-of-origin subtype were eligible for study inclusion and clinical follow-up. We have performed unsupervised clustering on this cohort and identified 7 novel transcriptional subtypes of DLBCL, one of which represents a high-risk subset of patients with high MYC expression, ABC-associated biology, and low immune infiltration.

• Single cell transcriptomic profiles of advanced melanoma patients treated with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy

  Little is known about the resistant clones within the tumour ecosystem treated with immunotherapy. This work provides a comprehensive and integrative analysis of each individual non-responding melanoma patients, including clinical features integrated with single cell analysis, which is critical to understand features of resistance in order to improve cancer patients’ outcomes.

• Decoding Human Endogenous Retrovirus Expression in Liver Metastatic Colorectal Cancers: Implications for Diagnosis and Prognosis

  The association between Human Endogenous RetroVirus (HERV) expression and cancer can be considered to both reflect the epigenetic deregulation of cancer and facilitate oncogenesis through its promoter/enhancer action on genes. More than 50% of colorectal cancers develop liver metastases and HERV has never been studied in this setting. We collected 400 RNAseq samples from more than 200 patients with primary and liver metastases from published and unpublished databases. We corroborated our findings with tandem mass spectrometry from primary colorectal cancer and single-cell RNAseq from liver metastatic colorectal cancer (lmCRC). We identified global stability in HERV expression between liver metastases and primary colorectal cancers, suggesting an early oncogenic footprint. Therefore, we proposed a list of seventeen HERV loci for lmCRC characterization with ERV-derived peptides but no expression in normal tissues. Among them, we discovered six prognostic markers after surgical resection of lmCRC. Four of them, HERVH_Xp22.32a, HERVH_20p11.23b, HERVH_13q33.3, HERVH_13q31.3, showed poor prognostic value when expressed (log-rank p-value 0.028, 0.0083, 9e-4, 0.05, respectively). HERVH_Xp22.2c (log-rank p-value 0.032) and HERVH_8q21.3b (only in multivariate models) were associated with better prognosis when expressed. These markers showed a cumulative effect on survival when expressed. Some HERVs were associated with decreased cytotoxic immune cells and most of them correlated with cell cycle pathways. Our findings provide new insights into lmCRC classification and suggest novel prognostic biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets.

• A single-cell multi-omic atlas of nodal B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas

  Nodal B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHL) are a clinically diverse set of cancers thought to originate from distinct stages of B-cell maturation. To characterize intratumor heterogeneity across B-NHL entities, we performed CITE-Seq (cellular indexing of transcriptomes and epitopes) on 51 lymph node samples including mantle cell lymphoma (MCL, n = 8), follicular lymphoma (FL, n = 12), germinal center (GCB, n = 5) or activated B-cell (non-GCB/ABC, n = 7) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL, n = 11) tumors, in addition to non-malignant reactive lymph nodes (rLN, n = 8). We also performed 5 prime scRNA-seq with immune receptor profiling for 11 of these samples (2 rLN, 2 MCL, 3 FL, 2 DLBCL, and 2 MZL).
