• RAIDs cervical cancer project

  The RAIDS project, launched by the Curie Institute in 2013, aims to molecularly characterize cervical cancer (CC) and improve patient risk stratification. As part of the Bio-RAIDS study (NCT02428842), next-generation sequencing was performed on tumor samples (whole-exome sequencing, shallow whole-genome sequencing and RNA-sequencing) identified frequent alterations, including PIK3CA (30%) and prognostic biomarkers like TERT, linked to poor progression-free survival. Over 50 clinically targetable mutations were found, offering new therapeutic opportunities. Transcriptomic analysis also linked specific genes and pathways to prognosis and tumor necrosis.

• Mutational order shapes cell state and chromatin accessibility during early colorectal cancer evolution

  Using CRISPR mediated gene editing in patient-derived human colon organoids, we investigate how mutational order shapes cell state and downstream phenotype. We find that loss of FBXW7 on a wild-type background produces minimal phenotypic or transcriptomic change but induces a subtle shift towards a foetal-like, regenerative stem cell identity. Strikingly, the order of mutation acquisition produces markedly different outcomes. 'FA' organoids (i.e. FBXW7 loss preceding APC mutation) retain a near-normal morphology and transcriptional profile. In contrast, 'AF' organoids adopt a proliferative stem cell state and a more transformed phenotype, despite identical final genotype. These differences were associated with distinct chromatin accessibility landscapes, and reflect a cell state-dependent constraint on the transcriptional consequences of subsequent mutations.

• Research on constructing a genome analysis database for malignant tumors

  Germline pathogenic variants (GPVs) in BRCA1/2 are established cancer predisposition factors; however, their biological and clinical significance in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. In particular, the directionality and evolutionary timing of locus-specific loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and their relationships with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) have not been systematically examined in BRCA1/2-associated GC. We conducted integrative genomic analyses of four GCs from BRCA1/2 GPV carriers using tumour-normal tissue paired whole-exome sequencing and allele-specific copy number profiling. LOH directionality was inferred by integrating the variant allele fraction, tumour purity, and locus-specific copy number. The relative timing of LOH events during tumour evolution was estimated, and HRD was evaluated using genome instability scores and mutational signature analyses.

• Malignancy of breast cancer cells is increased in a luminal-hybrid state defined by progenitor markers CD146 and keratin 14

  We first analyzed a patient-derived xenograft (PDX)-derived breast cancer cell line by dividing cell populations based on CD146-expression by FACS and found that this marker defines a cellular state with increased expression of a selection of luminal hybrid markers, including KRT14. We then knocked out CD146 or KRT14 in another patient-derived xenograft (PDX)-derived breast cancer cell line to investigate further the role of these markers in the hybrid state. For all these populations, we studied their gene expression by bulk RNA sequencing.

• Transcriptomic characterization of breast cancer cells in a luminal-hybrid state

  Background: We have previously identified a subset of early human breast epithelial progenitors that, despite their luminal affiliation, are enriched for basal markers, including CD146 and keratin 14 (K14). This simultaneous presence of both lineages thus defines a luminal-hybrid state. As luminal progenitors are generally proposed as a cell of origin of breast carcinoma, we examined how cells within this luminal hybrid state relate to breast cancer malignancy. Findings: We first analyzed two patient-derived xenograft (PDX)-derived breast cancer cell lines by dividing cell populations based on CD146-expression by FACS and found that this marker defines a cellular state with increased expression of a selection of luminal hybrid markers, including KRT14. When subjecting the sorted cells to in vitro transwell filter analysis, CD146HI/K14HI luminal hybrid state cells were less invasive. Knocking out either CD146- or K14-expression by CRISPR/Cas9 on a CD146/K14-positive background did not affect the in vivo tumorigenic potential, nor the differentiation state. However, when subjecting the respective sorted populations to a soft agar colony formation assay or as in vivo xenografts, CD146HI/K14HI cells exhibited more growth and metastasis, suggesting that the luminal hybrid state contributes to malignant properties. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that multiple components of the luminal hybrid state provide distinct properties to tumor malignancy. The fact that breast cancer can reflect a significant part of the original breast gland differentiation hierarchy may add weight to the argument that the search for novel strategies for treating basal-like breast cancer should include manipulation of cellular differentiation states.

• NGS sequencing data of archival FFPE tumor tissue

  The aim of the study was to identify mutations in key ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1, BRCA2,TP53, PTEN, ATM, ATR, NF1) in archival fresh-frozen paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue from platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients enrolled in the phase I/II GANNET53 clinical trial. From the enrolled 133 patients, archival FFPE tissue was available and DNA was extracted thereof. The DNA samples passing quality control (n=118) were NGS sequenced using the SureSeq™ Ovarian Cancer Panel and the NGS Library Preparation kit (Oxford Gene Technology), which covers all exons of 7 key ovarian cancer genes for single nucleotide variants (SNV) and indels, and the Illumina MiSeq platform. For the paired-end runs, one Read 1 (R1) and one Read 2 (R2) FASTQ file were created for each sample. FASTQ files were compressed and created with the extension .fastq.gz.

• Tissue architecture and immune niches govern ctDNA release in colorectal cancer

  Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is central to liquid biopsy-based cancer detection, yet its release into the bloodstream varies widely and remains poorly understood. To define the tissue-level determinants of ctDNA shedding in colorectal cancer (CRC), we integrated tumor-informed plasma sequencing with detailed histopathology, immunophenotyping, spatial transcriptomics, and in situ mutation detection in resectable stages (I–III). ctDNA detectability increased with tumor burden, and high ctDNA shedders exhibited a distinct architectural and microenvironmental phenotype characterized by expanded necrotic pseudolumina, frequent epithelial barrier disruption, and dense myeloid infiltration. Spatial profiling revealed stress-associated malignant programs and a myeloid-rich immune-luminal niche. In situ sequencing confirmed plasma-detected mutations within pseudoluminal debris, identifying these structures as focal reservoirs of shed DNA. These findings provide a mechanistic framework linking tissue architecture, immune remodelling, and spatially organized cell death to ctDNA release with implications for refining liquid biopsy applications.

• Type 1 interferon perturbates clonal competition by reshaping human blood development

  We studied hematopoietic stem cells, progenitors and immune cells from patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) at baseline and following interferon-⍺ (IFN⍺) treatment, the only therapy to deplete mutated stem cells. We deployed single-cell multi-omics methods that distinguish the IFN⍺ effects on mutated stem cells from the admixed wildtype HSCs, with respect to their differentiation, transcriptomes, immunophenotypes, and chromatin accessibility.

• FGFR2b Prevalence in Biliary Tract Cancers

  Patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) often have limited effective treatment options after first-line therapy. Actionable driver mutations are present in only a small subset of patients with iCCA; therefore, therapeutic strategies such as antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) that do not exclusively rely on presence of specific oncogenic mutations may be particularly attractive. However, there is a critical lack of knowledge regarding prevalent and actionable cell-surface targets in iCCA. We applied a novel isoform-resolved proteogenomic discovery framework for profiling cell surface targets and identified FGFR2b, a splicing isoform of FGFR2, as a therapeutic target in iCCA that is highly-expressed, tumor-enriched, localized to the membrane, and associated with prognosis. FGFR2b is the dominant isoform in iCCA, and it was present in all patients with FGFR2 fusions. These findings provide a strong rationale for further research and therapeutic development of FGFR2b-targeted biologics, including therapeutic antibodies and ADCs, in iCCA.

• How to use the EGA search box

  Tips on how to search Tip 1: Use simple and clear keywords No matter what you are searching: a study, a dataset or a committee; the search will look recursively in all the fields of all the entities in the database. Thus, there is no need to specify which type of data you are looking for. Try to use single and specific words and avoid long and complex expressions. Try it out: cancer rna-seq instead of cancer studies using RNA-seq. Tip 2: Narrow your results using search operators Search operators give you more control over the results. They manage the way keywords are used to restrict the search. By default, the search engine applies an AND operator when a space is inserted between two words. Include OR (capitalised) between the keywords in your search in order to show pages containing either term or both terms. Try it out: Search all the studies based on transcriptomic data, including those ones that use RNA sequencing to obtain this data. Tip 3: Do not worry about details The search engine automatically checks for the most common spelling mistakes of given words and suggests the use of the correct version. It also ignores capital letters and most punctuation so none of these mistakes will hamper the accuracy of your search. Besides, when using a combination of words, the search engine will suggest similar combinations with a higher number of results. Tip 4: Use words that are likely to appear within the text Unfortunately, our search engine is not able to interpret words yet. Therefore, words which do not appear in the body text will not return any result despite them denoting a group of present terms. For instance, if we are looking for studies focused on neurological diseases, using neurological as a keyword would not be the best option. Instead, you should use the name of each neurological disease such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or depression. In the same fashion, incomplete words do not return any result. Please include an asterisk (*) before and/or after the incomplete word in order to allow for partial matching. Try it out: canc* instead of canc(without wildcard). Also you can try out *oma, or even *geneti* Tip 5: Narrow down your search by filtering the results You can filter the results by the following options: general, study, and dataset. Under these categories, you will find more sub-filters to refine your search. Make sure that you click on Apply in order to filter the results. You can clear the filtering anytime. Advanced Searches Additional example queries: Search for DUO:0000005 and word lung example query Or write: DUO:0000005 AND lung Search for an exome sequencing study in dbGaP example query Or write: study_type: "exome sequencing" AND repository:dbGaP Search for an exome sequencing study in EGA example query Or write: study_type: "exome sequencing" AND repository:ega Search for a dataset that is at the EGA beacon and with type "Whole genome sequencing" and with number of samples between 100 and 2000 and with technology "Illumina HiSeq 2000" example query Or write: is_in_beacon:true AND dataset_types:"Whole genome sequencing" AND samples:[100 TO 2000] AND dataset_technologies:"Illumina HiSeq 2000" Search for PMIDS example query Or write: pmids:32025007

• EGA synthetic data

  Synthetic Data One of the limitations in genomics research is that human genomics data is not openly available; access must be controlled according to participant consent agreements and data protection regulations such as GDPR. Obtaining authorization to access such data can sometimes take a long time, resulting in delays to important research work. In this context, synthetic genomic and phenotype data can be useful resources for researchers to avoid these delays. Synthetic data are artificially generated datasets, often created with algorithms, which can be used without the need for authorization to test new products and tools, build technical demonstrators, validate data models, and train AI models. The EGA provides access to synthetic cohort datasets augmented with rich synthetic metadata that overcomes these real data usage restrictions. Whilst synthetic datasets are not included in the general EGA mandate and services, we can consider such submissions and evaluate their acceptance on the basis of their unique use cases not already covered by existing synthetic datasets. All synthetic data studies are open and permission will be granted automatically, however it is still required to request access. Requests are handled by the responsible DAC at Central EGA or the relevant Federated EGA Node.

• Submission FAQ

  Submission FAQ Before Submission Is the EGA the right archive for my data? The most suitable archive for your data is dependent on the type of data you are wishing to submit and whether the data require public or controlled access. Public access is defined as complete and open access to all submitted data. On the contrary, controlled access, exerted by the EGA, requires formal applications to be made to access the submitted data files and metadata. EGA only accepts human-derived data subject to controlled access. If your submission contains other types of data, please choose the appropriate repository for it (see image below): ENA, EVA, ArrayExpress, BioSD and GWAS catalog.  Should your submission be subjected to controlled access? Data access conditions are normally defined in the original informed consent agreements signed by the participants involved in your study. All data submitted to the EGA is subject to controlled access. These consents prevent the derived data files, potentially identifiable, from being dispersed by open and public access. Controlled access data often refers to human data derived from medical research and consortium projects. If in doubt, consult the informed consent agreements that apply to your study The EGA enables you to hold a submission before publication. What data types can be submitted to the EGA? Data types accepted by the EGA can be split into three categories: Sequences: both in generic and platform-specific formats. Array-based: from raw signal files to processed matrices. Phenotypes: all possible phenotype formats are accepted. All manufacturer-specific raw data formats derived from major next generation sequencing platforms are accepted. Also generic sequence formats: flat reads in a FASTQ file, aligned sequences (BAM or CRAM files) as well as sequence variation files in VCF format. All array-based technologies are accepted, including raw data, intensity and analysis files, without any restriction on data formats accepted. We also accept and distribute phenotype data (associated to the samples) in almost any format: from an image to a README file. How long does a submission take? Submissions to EGA come in a variety of formats and sizes, thus it is difficult for us to exactly predict how long a submission will take. We, therefore, advise all of our submitters to allow as much time as possible to make a submission. Based on previous records, we anticipate that the submission process may take at least one month. The submitter’s familiarity with the procedures, possible technical issues that may arise during submission and the amount of data that is being submitted are the main factors that will affect the length of the submission process. However, each step of a regular submission should be considered when estimating the time it would take: Encryption of the files Upload of the files Metadata submission Archival of the files Release of the study and datasets to EGA webpage For example, the upload of the files depends on the submission size, while metadata submission mainly relies on each submitter’s expertise. Further, some steps (e.g. answering to inquiries) depend on the EGA Helpdesk team, which may take some days to be processed during busy times Is data deposited in the EGA secure? The EGA set-up consists of a secure computing facility for data processing, a shared EBI set-up for data submissions and distribution of data via data requests made through the EGA website. Data is also copied in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) infrastructure, where all stored and distributed data is encrypted Data is encrypted along the submission process and stored securely, granting its access to authorised users exclusively. During the download process, through our Python Client or Aspera, all requested data is downloaded over secure https connections. All data at the EGA is encrypted, and only accessible (for log-in and download) through secure protocols. For further information please, visit our security overview. What documentation do I need to provide? All submissions require policy’s documentation: 'Data Access Agreement (DAA)', 'Data Processing Agreement (DPA)' and 'Authorized Submitters Formulary'. The data processors (EGA) and the data owners will also sign the DPA. Will all metadata be public? Among the submitted metadata we need to make the distinction between identifiable and unidentifiable metadata: (1) the former may allow the identification of the human the sample derived from (e.g. detailed geographical providence, personal name, family ancestry…); (2) while the latter can be used to interpret the data without compromising the anonymity of the patients. The majority of the metadata submitted to the EGA corresponds to the unidentifiable category (e.g. sequencer's model). This type of metadata is publicly available on the EGA website and other EBI resources/partners’ websites. On the other hand, some parts samples’ metadata are subject to being identifiable, and thus only accessible by authorized data requesters, with the exception of: 5 submitter-defined attributes of the sample: alias, title, subject_id, gender and phenotype. It is the submitter’s responsibility not to submit sensitive metadata in these public fields. 3 anonymised fields that pinpoint the sample record in archivals: sample’s EGA stable ID (EGAN…), BioSample ID (SAMEA…) and submitter’s center name. During Submission Are there any sample specific requirements for EGA? All samples submitted to the EGA must include the attributes of biological sex, subject ID (anonymised individual identifier) and phenotype information. These are critical for data findability and its analysis, and we highly recommend using controlled ontology terms where applicable. For example: defining tumour and non-tumour samples and/or defining disease state. The EGA recommends using the Experimental Factor Ontology Database to find ontologized terms that describe your sample phenotypes. How do I get an accession number to use in my publication? You will receive your study accession number (EGAS…) upon complete your submission, either: Programmatically. As soon as the metadata is submitted and validated your study will be assigned an accession number that will be given in the submission’s response. Manually registering your study and relevant metadata using the online metadata submission tool: the EGA submitter Portal. How are files uploaded to the EGA? Data files are uploaded into private submission drop boxes (i.e. environments to which you are granted access and where you can transfer your files) using INBOX or FTP. These spaces are provided as part of the submission procedure. Before uploading any file, you must encrypt your files, . Only encrypted files shall be uploaded to the drop boxes. Why does data need to to encrypted for my submitted files? It is one of the security steps the EGA has implemented. In case of a security breach, people without the proper encryption key will not be able to read or use the information that could have been leaked. This measure is essential when working with sensitive data, such as controlled access human data. All submitters must use crypt4gh to create EGA compliant files prior to uploading them. This encryption is GPG-based, using EGA’s public key. Why are my files not available if I see them in the INBOX? There exists a time window between the data upload and the availability of such files via the Submitter Portal. For this reason, some metadata (run and analysis objects) cannot be registered until at least 24 hours after the files have been uploaded to your box. Why are MD5 sum values generated for my submitted files? We require pre- and post- encryption MD5 (message-digest) checksum values to be provided for all submitted files. These 128-bit values are computed using the content of each file, creating unique sequences that allow us to ensure that file integrity has been maintained during the transfer process. In other words, if the MD5 checksums we generate and those you generated match, we infer that the content of the transferred files is correct (i.e. files are not corrupted or truncated). MD5 checksums are computed automatically using the crypt4gh tool provided. Your submission will not be accepted and may be significantly delayed if you do not provide MD5 checksum values for all data files in the required format. How can I check if my files are correctly uploaded to the inbox? It is important to check the status pf your file so you know whether your files are in the inbox, being processed, or if there is any issue with one of them. In order to check this, you should: Look for the file locally. Drag and drop it to the file table. Then bars will appear on the table, which means that we are processing it. Green: The files checksum are correct and your file will move to “ingested files”. No further actions are needed from your end.. Red: The files checksum does not match and your file needs to be re-uploaded. Please re-upload relevant files to your inbox using the same path. How can I add my dataset to the cBioPortal instance? In order to link your data to the cBioPortal, you must register it as a normal dataset in the Submitter Portal. For more information, please refer to the cBioPortal documentation. After Submission How do I use my accession number in my publication? We suggest the use of the below template, using your study accession ID (EGAS…) : Data has been deposited at the European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA), which is hosted by the EBI and the CRG, under accession number EGASXXXXXXXXXXX. Further information about EGA can be found at https://ega-archive.org and "The European Genome-phenome Archive of human data consented for biomedical research" Your study ID will be the one that groups your whole submission, and thus its usage is recommended as such. Nevertheless, all metadata submitted to EGA hold a unique and persistent identifier (starting with EGA…) that can be used to identify specific records. For example, you could reference a specific dataset (EGAD…) or sample (EGAN…) in your publications (see full list of identifiers). How do I make my data searchable? Once you have finalized your submission, you can schedule the data release. Please take into account that the release process needs time for the files to be archived in our system, and for the Helpdesk team to validate your submission. Can I withdraw (meta)data from the EGA? We have methods in place for the secure removal of deposited (meta)data. Contact EGA-helpdesk for further details. EGA complies with FAIRness of (meta)data, and thus, even when the data is removed we keep an entry for their identifiers in our system. In other words, we execute a soft delete on canceled objects (e.g. a study): metadata is still stored in our systems, but it loses all links, cannot be queried and data files cannot be retrieved anymore. The reason behind this behaviour is so that queries using withdrawn data properly respond back (see example of a canceled study). What happens to the data once it has been submitted to the EGA? When the data is submitted, the submitter can choose either keep their data private or schedule the release of their data.

• Tumoral immune microenvironment profiling in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma stratifies patients in different prognostic groups

  Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) are heterogeneous B-cell malignancies in which the tumor immune microenvironment (TIM) influences disease progression and has emerging potential for prognostic patient stratification. This project investigates the TIM of NHL by combining multiparameter flow cytometry with targeted DNA sequencing of NHL biopsies. The study aimed to characterize the immune cell composition, immune checkpoint expression, and mutational landscape, and to evaluate their association with clinical and prognostic features across NHL subtypes. The classification of TIM profiles by flow cytometry predicts clinical outcomes in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL), highlighting its potential value for risk stratification and the identification of novel immunotherapeutic targets in NHL.

• Single-cell transcriptome and TCR profiles of T cells from supercentenarians

  Our previous study identified CD4 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CD4 CTLs) as a hallmark of supercentenarians. Using single-cell immune profiling, we found that CD4 CTLs begin expanding around age 100, characterized by sequential CD27/CD28 loss without exhaustion. These cells showed strong clonal expansion and shared CDR3beta sequences with tumor-infiltrating T cells, especially from lung cancer. These findings suggest that CD4 CTLs adapt to persistent antigens and may contribute to cancer surveillance in extreme aging.

• Impact of Mutated CTCF DNA binding sites of Topologically associating domains on nearby Cancer Gene Regulation: A Multi-Omics Analysis

  Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common lethal malignancy world-wide. Due in most part to the extremely high mutational burden (TMB) in cSCC, making sense of it’s non-coding and regulatory regional genomic variation has lagged that of other far less common cancers. This study presents the first investigation of mutations at CCCTC-binding factor binding sites (CTCFbs) of Topologically associating domains (TAD) across defined cSCC progression stages—primary non-metastatic (PNM), primary metastat-ic (PM), and lymph node metastasis (LNM).

• Non-invasive anal (pre)cancer dataset

  Molecular analysis of DNA from human anal swabs offers a non-invasive method for anal cancer screening. Current guidelines recommend anal swab-based screening and highlight the need for objective biomarkers to improve risk stratification. We performed genome-wide methylation profiling on DNA from 86 anal swab samples, including 40 HSIL-AIN3 cases (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions), 39 controls (<=LSIL), and 7 anal cancer patients, using the 850K Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip (Illumina). From this analysis, we identified a three-gene methylation classifier that showed strong discriminatory performance in distinguishing HSIL-AIN3 and anal cancer from <=LSIL lesions and successfully identified all anal cancer cases when applied to an independent validation cohort.

• DAC for Early detection of ovarian cancer using cell-free DNA fragmentomes and protein biomarkers

  Ovarian cancer is a leading cause of death from gynecological malignancies worldwide. No effective screening methods exist resulting in tumor detection at advanced stages where treatment is less effective. In this study, we used whole-genome cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentome and protein biomarker (CA-125 and HE4) analyses to evaluate 591 women, mostly post-menopausal, from the European Union or the United States with ovarian cancer, benign adnexal masses, or without ovarian lesions. Using a machine learning model that incorporated multi-analyte fragmentome data and protein measurements, we evaluated the detection of ovarian cancer in two clinical settings, detection of ovarian cancers among a healthy population, and classification of adnexal masses as benign or malignant. The combined approach detected ovarian cancer with specificity >99% and sensitivity of 72%, 69%, 87%, and 100% for stages I–IV, respectively (AUC=0.96, 95% CI: 0.94-0.99), including 90% of high grade serous ovarian cancers. At the same specificity, CA-125 alone detected 34%, 62%, 63%, and 100% of ovarian cancers for stages I–IV (p=0.001, two-sided test of equal proportions). Additionally, our approach differentiated benign masses from ovarian cancers with high accuracy (AUC of 0.88, 95% CI=0.83-0.92). These results were validated in an independent population. These findings show that integrated cfDNA fragmentome and protein analyses detect ovarian cancers with high performance, enabling a new accessible approach for noninvasive ovarian cancer screening and diagnostic evaluation.

• Prefibrotic Bone Marrow Microenvironment is a Hallmark of Clonal Hematopoiesis

  Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is linked to systemic inflammation and increased malignant risk, yet its impact on the bone marrow (BM) niche remains poorly understood. Through single-cell transcriptomic profiling of freshly isolated BM, we identify fibro-inflammatory rewiring as an early hallmark of CHIP. Beyond a myeloid-biased inflammatory state, CHIP BM exhibited coordinated TNFα activation across hematopoietic progenitor, monocyte, and stromal compartments. Stromal populations displayed early fibrotic remodeling, with mesenchymal and vascular cells upregulating collagen and extracellular matrix programs. Fibroblasts were markedly expanded independent of mutational subtype and acquired cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF)-like programs, rewiring niche interactions through IL-6, TGFβ, and collagen-integrin signaling. Together, these findings establish fibro-inflammatory BM remodeling as an early hallmark of clonal expansion, linking CHIP to prefibrotic stromal remodeling, immune dysregulation, and a niche architecture consistent with increased malignant risk.

• Ex vivo therapy-driven selection of glioblastoma stem-like cells models resistance evolution

  Glioblastoma (GBM) remains lethal, creating an urgent need for experimental models of therapy- specific resistance evolution. Within-patient GSC models were developed by parallel ex-vivo selection under temozolomide (TMZ-GSC) or ionizing radiation (IR-GSC), alongside untreated controls (CTRL- GSC). • O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) expression was confirmed as a determinant of primary TMZ resistance and was maintained during GSC evolution. • In MGMT-negative GSCs, primary TMZ sensitivity evolved into stable secondary resistance through mismatch-repair gene inactivation, recapitulating patient findings, or was retained along with a newly identified drug-tolerant phenotype. • Primary radioresistance was commonly observed, while its further evolution was associated with more efficient DNA double-strand-break repair and enrichment of homologous- recombination and checkpoint-control transcriptional programs. • In GSCs emerging after either TMZ or IR, broad transcriptional patient-specific programs and classification-relevant subtypes were largely preserved. • Across treatments, GSC evolution was accompanied by shared genome-maintenance and mitotic chromosome-segregation transcriptional programs and increased RTK expression and activity, collectively promoting recovery after genotoxic stress.

• A spatiotemporal cancer cell trajectory underlies glioblastoma heterogeneity

  Abstract: Cancer cells display highly heterogeneous and plastic states in glioblastoma, an incurable brain tumour. However, how these malignant states arise and whether they follow a tractable cellular trajectory across tumours is poorly understood. Here, we generated a deep single cell and spatial multi-omic atlas of human glioblastoma that pairs transcriptomic, epigenomic and genomic profiling of 12 tumours across multiple regions. We identify that glioblastoma heterogeneity is driven by spatially-patterned transitions of cancer cells from developmental-like states towards those defined by a glial injury response and hypoxia. This cancer cell trajectory regionalizes tumours into distinct tissue niches and manifests in a conserved manner across tumours as well as genetically distinct tumour subclones. Moreover, using a new deep learning framework to jointly map cancer cell states and clones in situ, we show that tumour subclones are finely spatially intermixed through glioblastoma tissue niches. Finally, we show that this cancer cell trajectory is intimately linked to myeloid heterogeneity and unfolds across regionalised myeloid signalling environments. Our findings define a stereotyped trajectory of cancer cells in glioblastoma and unify glioblastoma tumour heterogeneity into a tractable cellular and tissue framework.

• PBMCs Bellini TNBC anti-PD1 monotherapy

  Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) combined with chemotherapy (CT) has improved outcome in high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); yet it is unclear which patients benefit from the addition of ICB beyond chemotherapy alone. We profiled 67 serial tumor and 175 blood samples obtained before and during anti-PD1 treatment across 3 breast cancer trials using single-cell transcriptomic and T cell receptor (TCR) sequencing. Early intratumoral T cell expansion emerged as a consistent hallmark of clinical benefit. This expansion was reflected in increased TCR sharing between tumor and blood after treatment initiation, with shared blood T cells displaying immune-activated programs and their tumor counterparts enriched for expanding clonotypes, suggesting blood-to-tumor trafficking of activated T cells. In TNBC treated with anti-PD1+CT, T cell expansion distinguished an immune-driven response from a chemotherapy-dominant route to pathological complete response (pCR). To enable baseline patient stratification, we derived a 15-gene tumor signature predictive of T cell expansion, which associated with response in independent breast cancer cohorts and with improved survival across ICB-treated cancer types. Our data establish T cell expansion as an early marker of sustained ICB response and could allow stratification of patients likely to benefit from the addition of ICB to chemotherapy.

• Single-cell profiling reveals mechanisms of response to anti-PD-L1 versus anti-PD-L1 combined with anti-CTLA4 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

  Cancer patients often receive a combination of PD-(L)1 and CTLA4 inhibitors, but the mechanisms underlying their concerted actions remain unclear. We conducted a neoadjuvant study in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) involving anti-PD-L1 monotherapy versus anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 combination. Single-cell profiling of on- versus pre-treatment biopsies confirmed T-cell expansion as response biomarker. We identified a type 1 immune response accompanying T-cell expansion on-treatment across treatment arms, and herein characterized co-localized IgG plasma cell expansion as important contributor. In pre-treatment biopsies, similar features correlated with expansion upon anti-PD-L1, but not anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4. By profiling tumor-draining lymph nodes, we found the addition of anti-CTLA4 to trigger activation and subsequent trafficking of CD4+ T-cells via the blood, to become T-helper 1 cells in the tumor. anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 indeed facilitated co-localized expansion of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells in tumors versus mostly CD8+ T-cells with anti-PD-L1 alone. Hence, we identify complimentary mechanisms underlying anti-PD-L1/anti-CTLA4 therapy in HNSCC.
