• The landscape of chromothripsis across adult cancer types

  Chromothripsis is a recently identified mutational phenomenon, by which a presumably single catastrophic event generates extensive genomic rearrangements of one or a few chromosome(s). Considered as an early event in tumour development, this form of genome instability plays a prominent role in tumour onset. Chromothripsis prevalence might have been underestimated when using low-resolution methods, and pan-cancer studies based on sequencing are rare. We analysed chromothripsis in 28 tumour types covering all major adult cancers (634 tumours, 316 whole-genome and 318 whole-exome sequences). We show that chromothripsis affects a substantial proportion of human cancers, with a prevalence of 49% across all cases. Chromothripsis generates entity-specific genomic alterations driving tumour development, including clinically relevant druggable fusions. Chromothripsis is linked with specific telomere patterns and univocal mutational signatures in distinct tumour entities. Longitudinal analysis of chromothriptic patterns in 24 matched tumour pairs reveals novel insights in the clonal evolution of tumours with chromothripsis. (H021)

• Plasma sequencing data for ctDNA monitoring for NSCLC in TRACERx

  Ultrasensitive circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) detection can stratify clinical risk in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here, we applied a whole-genome, tumour-informed approach to study ctDNA in more than 400 NSCLC of the TRACERx project. This study captures the plasma sequencing data from the project.

• The UVA-induced single-base mutational signature of CX5461 in human cells

  Drug-related UVA-induced photoreactions have been reported for several therapeutic compounds, including fluoroquinolones. CX5461 is a clinically relevant quinolone-derived anti-cancer small molecule with documented UVA-sensitising activity. Here we compared, by bulk and clonal whole genome sequencing (WGS) under light-protected conditions, the mutational signatures in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE1) exposed to UVA, CX5461, or co-exposed to UVA and CX5461. Treatment with CX5461 or UVA alone resulted in a low SNV burden and background-like mutational profiles. In contrast, bulk sequencing of human cells co-exposed to UVA and CX5461 had a markedly higher SNV burden characterized by T>A and T>C substitutions. Furthermore, single-cell clonal expansion and sequencing of CX5461 alone, UVA alone or CX5461+UVA treatments confirmed that the pattern was only observed when cells were exposed to both UVA and CX5461. The CX5461+UVA-associated SNV signature we report arises only when CX5461-treated cells are exposed to UVA, and is not observed when CX5461-treated cells are shielded from light. We do not observe strong single base mutagenic activity of CX5461 alone, under light protected conditions. Our data emphasise the need for appropriate controls and light-exposure precautions when studying base mutagenesis activity of known photosensitiser molecules.

• GCAT Hereditary Cancer Panel Sequencing Dataset

  This dataset comprises targeted sequencing data from 191 participants of the GCAT cohort generated using the I2HCP custom hereditary cancer panel. The panel is based on a custom bait library covering 122 genes associated with hereditary cancer syndromes, including genes related to hereditary colorectal cancer, hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, neurofibromatosis, and related disorders. Target enrichment was performed using a clinically validated design optimized for diagnostic accuracy. The panel and associated bioinformatic pipeline were previously validated, achieving analytical sensitivity and specificity greater than 99%. Sequencing data were processed using standardized alignment and variant calling procedures against the human reference genome. The dataset includes raw sequencing reads (FASTQ format) and processed variant call files (VCF format). All samples were pseudonymized prior to submission in accordance with ethical approvals and participant consent. Data are available under controlled access.

• Emergence of oncofetal plasticity is ubiquitous in early colorectal cancers

  Metastasis formation is classically considered a late-stage event in colorectal cancer (CRC) evolution. Yet, the time and patterning by which metastatic competence is acquired remain poorly understood. Here, we show that metastasis-associated oncofetal cell states already emerge at the earliest stages of CRC, concurrent with invasive front formation. However, while necessary for metastasis, we detect them ubiquitously among early non-metastatic cancers, highlighting additional bottlenecks like immune evasion. To understand how oncofetal cells first emerge, we generated multiregional organoid models that reflect successive tumor progression stages within individual early-stage CRCs. Whole-genome sequencing and growth factor-dependency assays exclude tumor cell-intrinsic acquired traits. In contrast, single-cell spatial atlases of the tumor-microenvironment before and after malignant transformation revealed stereotypic patterning of fibroblast subtypes resembling normal tissue architecture, resulting in distinct regional microenvironments. At the onset of malignant growth into the submucosa, the first cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) to appear strongly resemble submucosal trophocytes and colocalize with oncofetal cell states at invasive fronts. Functionally, fibroblast-organoid co-cultures confirm that these trophocyte-like CAFs induce plastic transitioning to oncofetal states. Thus, interactions between tumor and submucosal fibroblasts directly following malignant transformation dictate the timing and location at which oncofetal plasticity first occurs during CRC progression.

• METABRIC

  The elucidation of breast cancer subgroups and their molecular drivers requires integrated views of the genome and transcriptome from representative numbers of patients. We present an integrated analysis of copy number and gene expression in a discovery and validation set of 997 and 995 primary breast tumours, respectively, with long-term clinical follow-up. Inherited variants (CNVs, SNPs) and acquired somatic copy number aberrations (CNAs) were associated with expression in 40% of genes, although the landscape was dominated by cis and trans-acting CNAs. By delineating expression outlier genes driven in cis by CNAs, we identified putative cancer genes, including deletions in PPP2R2A, MTAP, and MAP2K4. Unsupervised analysis of paired DNA/RNA profiles revealed novel subgroups with distinct clinical outcomes, which reproduced in the validation cohort. These include a high-risk, ER-positive 11q13/14 cis-acting subgroup and a favourable prognosis subgroup devoid of CNAs. Trans-acting aberration 0152hotspots were found to modulate subgroup-specific gene networks, including a TCR deletion-mediated adaptive immune response in the 0152CNA-devoid sub-group and a Basal-specific chromosome 5 deletion-driven mitotic network. Our results provide a novel molecular stratification of the breast cancer population, derived from the impact of somatic copy number aberrations on the transcriptome.
