• 2017_AML_WGS

  This 2017_AML_WGS study includes 10 paired samples derived from Korean AML paitients. 10 AML Bone Marrow samples were collected and paired with each normal(Saliva or BM derived) sequencing data. The results of this WGS study were analyzed by Mutect and GATK for ranking germline variants and cancer variants to make mutational profile matrix.

• Genomic analysis of Smoothened inhibitor resistance in basal cell carcinoma

  Smoothened inhibitors are currently being investigated for the treatment of several cancers. Vismodegib is approved for the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The majority of BCC patients treated with vismodegib experience significant clinical benefit, however, a small number of patients develop resistance. Knowledge of resistance mechanisms can generate predictive biomarkers and is critical for the design of additional therapeutic strategies aimed at circumventing resistance. To investigate mechanisms of resistance to vismodegib in BCC we sequenced and profiled biopsies from patients who initially responded to treatment and subsequently progressed on drug.We find that resistance is associated with re-activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway through diverse mechanisms, including concurrent copy number alterations in the downstream Hh pathway components SUFU and GLI2, as well as novel SMO mutations that reduce sensitivity to vismodegib. The latter fall into two classes: those that activate SMO and those that directly affect the vismodegib-binding pocket. Additionally, we observe evidence of clonal selection of SMO mutations and intra-tumor heterogeneity of resistance mechanisms, which implies diverse and combinatorial strategies are required to overcome resistance.

• RNA-sequençing of 21 inflammatory hepatocellular adenomas

  The French ICGC project on liver tumors is coordinated by Pr Jessica Zucman-Rossi and funded by Inca (French Institute for Cancer). The aim of the present project is to identify the catalog of somatic and germline mutations in liver tumors.The present series corresponds to 21 RNA-seq of IHCA samples. Aligned bam files correspond to hg38 human reference.

• Succession Of Transiently Active Tumour-Initiating Cell Clones inHuman Pancreatic Cancer

  To elucidate whether newly acquired genetic alterations during serial transplantation of patient derived primary pancreatic cancer cultures contribute to the observed clonal dynamics in vivo, all coding genes of two patient derived primary cultures and derived genetically marked serial xenografts (1°/2°/3°) were sequenced.

• Y_chromosome_mis_segregation_in_the_DLD_1_cell_line

  Study of the well-established DLD-1 colorectal cancer cell line, engineered with an inactivatable Y centromere that leads to mis-segregation. The goal is to gain insights into the mechanism of chromothripsis due to chromosome mis-segration.

• Origins and functional consequence of somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations

  Recent sequencing studies have extensively explored the somatic alterations present in the nuclear genomes of cancers. Although mitochondria control energy metabolism and apoptosis, the origins and impact of cancer-associated mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are unclear. Here, we analysed somatic alterations in mtDNA from 1,675 tumors across 31 histologies. We identified 1,907 somatic substitutions, which exhibited dramatic replicative strand bias, predominantly C>T and A>G on the mitochondrial heavy strand. This strand-asymmetric signature differs from those found in nuclear cancer genomes but matches the inferred germline process shaping primate mtDNA sequence content. Numbers of mtDNA mutations showed considerable heterogeneity across tumor types. Missense mutations were selectively neutral and often gradually drifted towards homoplasmy over time. In contrast, mutations resulting in protein truncation undergo negative selection and were almost exclusively heteroplasmic. Our findings indicate that the endogenous mutational mechanism has far greater impact than any other external mutagens in mitochondria, and is fundamentally linked to mtDNA replication.

• HSC_population_dynamics___LEUK4_samples

  My research project aims to use the clonal dynamics of spontaneously occurring somatic mutations to answer fundamental questions about human haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology. The four major questions I will address are: 1. How do age and aging affect normal human HSC dynamics in vivo? 2. How do in vivo perturbations, particularly chemotherapy and increased levels of reactive oxygen species, affect HSC population dynamics? 3. Is response to in vitro perturbation heritable and/or correlated with other features such as age of individual and contribution of the lineage to peripheral blood? 4. How are HSC dynamics altered in people with early driver mutations (clonal haematopoiesis)?
