• Panel sequencing of endocrine-resistant breast cancer

  Patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer in Stockholm Sweden. DNA obtained from patients primary and relapse tumors, and tumor-free lymph nodes used as germline control. DNA was extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue and sequenced by 370-gene panel-based sequencing with Kapa HyperPlus library preparation and Twist Bioscience hybrid capture. Custom bait sets (panels) from Twist Bioscience. Paired end 2x150 bp using NovaSeq X. The data is presented as fastq-files.

• A fast, affordable and minimally-invasive diagnostic test for Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) using DNA methylation profiling

  CUP diagnosis on FFPE tissue and liquid biopsies (blood, pleural and peritoneal effusions) using cfRRBS (cell-free reduced representation bisulfite sequencing), a technique that allows for identification of the methylation profile starting from minimal amounts of highly fragmented DNA.

• DNTR sequencing data of paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia

  This study used the DNTR-seq method in leukaemia samples to profile the whole-genome and mRNA jointly in single cells. Direct tagmentation is used in a collection of single-cell whole genome sequencing (scWGS) methods, including DNTR-seq, which provide high quality data at ultra-low to low coverage. The overall goal was to characterize the genetic and transcriptional heterogeneity of cancer samples. To infer clonal structure and evolutionary history, copy number analysis based workflows were implemented. Bone marrow mononuclear cells from pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia samples were FACS sorted into 384 plates to generate the DNA and RNA profiles.

• Homopolymer switches mediate adaptive mutability in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer

  Mismatch repair (MMR) deficient cancer evolves through the continuous erosion of coding homopolymers in target genes. Curiously, the MMR genes MSH6 and MSH3 also contain coding homopolymers and these are frequent mutational targets in MMR-deficient cancers. The impact of incremental MMR mutations on MMR-deficient colorectal cancer evolution is unknown. We show that microsatellite instability modulates DNA repair by toggling hypermutable mononucleotide homopolymer runs in MSH6 and MSH3 through stochastic frameshift switching. Spontaneous mutation and reversion modulates subclonal mutation rate, mutation bias, and clonal HLA and neoantigen diversity. Patient-derived organoids corroborate these observations and show that in the absence of immune selection MMR homopolymer sequences drift back into reading frame, suggesting a fitness cost of elevated mutation rates. Combined experimental and simulation studies demonstrate that subclonal immune selection favours incremental MMR mutations. Overall, our data demonstrate that MMR-deficient colorectal cancers fuel intratumour heterogeneity by adapting subclonal mutation rate and diversity to immune selection.

• CD8-targeted IL-2 unleashes tumor-specific immunity in human cancer tissue by reviving the dysfunctional T cell pool

  Tumor-specific CD8+ T cells are key effectors of antitumor immunity but are often rendered dysfunctional in the tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoint blockade can restore antitumor T cell function in some patients, however most do not respond to this therapy, often despite T cell infiltration in their tumors. We here explored a CD8-targeted IL-2 fusion molecule (CD8-IL2) to selectively reactivate intratumoral CD8+ T cells in patient-derived tumor fragments. Treatment with CD8-IL2 broadly armed intratumoral CD8+ T cells with enhanced effector capacity, thereby specifically enabling reinvigoration of the dysfunctional T cell pool to elicit potent immune activity. Notably, the revival of dysfunctional T cells to mediate effector activity by CD8-IL2 depended on simultaneous antigen recognition and was quantitatively and qualitatively superior to that achieved by PD-1 blockade. Finally, CD8-IL2 was able to functionally reinvigorate T cells in tumors resistant to anti-PD-1, underscoring its potential as a novel treatment strategy for cancer patients.

• BRCA1 secondary splice-site mutations

  BRCA1 splice isoforms d11 and d11q can contribute to PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance by splicing-out mutation-containing exons, producing truncated, partially-functional proteins. However, the clinical impact and underlying drivers of BRCA1 exon skipping remain undetermined. We analyzed nine ovarian and breast cancer patient derived xenografts (PDX) with BRCA1 exon 11 frameshift mutations for splice isoform expression and therapy response.

• WGS of cord blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells

  In this study, the mutational effects of prenatal chemotherapy exposure on cord blood hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells was investigated in cord blood samples taken from 10 healthy pregnant women, 4 pregnant cancer patients receiving no systemic anti-cancer treatment during pregnancy and 12 pregnant cancer patients receiving chemotherapy during pregnancy. Sequencing was performed on Illumina platforms.

• Somatic mutations of non-malignant T cells

  Somatic mutations in T cells can cause cancer but also have implications for immunological diseases and cell therapies. The mutation spectrum in non-malignant T cells is unclear. Here, we examined somatic mutations in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from 90 patients with hematological and immunological disorders and used T cell receptor (TCR) and single-cell sequencing to link mutations with T cell expansions and phenotypes. CD8+ cells had higher mutation burden than CD4+ cells. Notably, the biggest variant allele frequency (VAF) of non-synonymous variants was higher than synonymous variants in CD8+ T cells, indicating non-random occurrence. The non-synonymous VAF in CD8+ T cells strongly correlated with the TCR frequency, but not age. We identified mutations in pathways essential for T cell function and often affected in lymphoid neoplasia. Single-cell sequencing revealed cytotoxic Temra phenotypes of mutated T cells. Our findings suggest that somatic mutations contribute to CD8+ T cell expansions without malignant transformation.
