• ecDNA copy number heterogeneity

  Neuroblastoma exhibits significant inter- and intra-tumour genetic heterogeneity and varying clinical outcomes. Here, we used DNA and RNA sequencing from the same single cells in cell lines and neuroblastoma patients to investigate these effects. We reveal extensive intercellular ecDNA copy number heterogeneity. We also provide direct evidence of how this heterogeneity influences the expression of cargo genes, including MYCN and its downstream targets, and the overall transcriptional state of neuroblastoma cells.

• cell-free DNA Target sequencing from primary and recurrent/metastatic breast cancer patients

  Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers occurring worldwide in women. Even after curative treatment based on clinical subtypes according to molecular features, the risk of relapse still remains. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is an emerging tool for clinical cancer detection to monitor the risk of recurrence, therapeutic efficacy and tumor progression. In occurrence of relapse, genomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic profiles are altered, and reflected in cfDNA fragmentation patterns. In this study, we focus on the transcriptionally dynamic loci associated with therapy resistance in breast cancer, and develop the target sequencing approach using cfDNAs to detect individuals with recurrent/metastatic breast cancer.

• Smoking-dependent expression alterations in nasal epithelium reveal immune impairment linked to germline variation and lung cancer risk.

  Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. In contrast to many other cancers, a direct connection to lifestyle risk in the form of cigarette smoke has long been established. More than 50% of all smoking-related lung cancers occur in former smokers, often many years after smoking cessation. Despite extensive research, the molecular processes for persistent lung cancer risk are unclear. CT screening of current and former smokers has been shown to reduce lung cancer mortality by up to 26%. To examine whether clinical risk stratification can be improved upon by the addition of genetic data, and to explore the mechanisms of the persisting risk in former smokers, we have analyzed transcriptomic data from accessible airway tissues of 487 subjects. We developed a model to assess smoking associated gene expression changes and their reversibility after smoking is stopped, in both healthy subjects and clinic patients. We find persistent smoking associated immune alterations to be a hallmark of the clinic patients. Integrating previous GWAS data using a transcriptional network approach, we demonstrate that the same immune and interferon related pathways are strongly enriched for genes linked to known genetic risk factors, demonstrating a causal relationship between immune alteration and lung cancer risk. Finally, we used accessible airway transcriptomic data to derive a non-invasive lung cancer risk classifier. Our results provide initial evidence for germline-mediated personalised smoke injury response and risk in the general population, with potential implications for managing long-term lung cancer incidence and mortality.

• Cellular Dynamics Upon Immune Checkpoint Inhibition

  Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer treatment, yet most patients experience limited or no clinical benefit. To elucidate the mechanisms of response and resistance, we analyzed single-cell RNA-sequencing data from 141 patients across multiple cancer types and ICI treatment modalities, with longitudinally paired samples. Using a robust, integration-free deep phenotyping framework, we annotated 876,410 cells into 80 granular states. We identified consistent compositional changes in 17 cell subtypes following ICI treatment, including enhanced adaptive immune responses and reduced interferon-responsive cells. Co-regulated cell communities within the tumor microenvironment (TME) highlighted coordinated interplay between immune and non-immune components. Importantly, we discovered two distinct patient groups with divergent TME dynamics post-treatment: responders showed expansion of naive lymphocytes, while non-responders exhibited increased immune-experienced/suppressive cells. This dichotomy offers a potential predictive biomarker for patient stratification. Our comprehensive analysis of TME dynamics during ICI treatment advances understanding of response mechanisms and personalized cancer immunotherapy.

• WGS, DuplexSeq and NanoSeq genomic data from histologically normal tissue in cancer patients

  The extent to which mutagenic and non-mutagenic processes, including cancer treatment, contribute to somatic evolution in histologically normal tissue remains unclear. We subjected 168 cancer-free normal samples representing 16 different organs from 22 patients with metastatic cancer enrolled in the PEACE research autopsy study to high-depth duplex panel sequencing (coverage >20,000x). In every sample we identified somatic mutations (range 170 - 2,978) at exceedingly low variant allele frequencies (median VAF 0.0000323), consistent with a patchwork of mutated cells in normal tissue. By analysing the mutational spectra of each sample, we extracted 16 distinct single base substitution mutational signatures, reflecting somatic mutational processes that have moulded the genomes of normal cells. Signatures were found to be associated with diverse aetiologies, including alcohol-related mutation acquisition in liver tissue, smoking-induced mutagenesis in lung and cardiac tissue, and multiple distinct treatment-induced processes, which correlated with treatment and its duration. On average, in this cohort in which patients had each received several lines of anti-cancer therapy, exogenous sources, including treatment-related mutagenesis, underpinned >40% of mutations in liver samples, yet <10% in brain samples. Finally, we observed clear differences in the extent and effects of selection in different tissues, with positive selection in certain tissues, including lung (TP53, EGFR and PIK3CA), liver (NF2L2) and spleen (BRAF, NOTCH2), and limited selection in others, such as brain and cardiac. Over 25% of driver mutations in normal tissue exposed to systemic anti-cancer therapy, including mutations in TP53, could be attributed to treatment-induced mutagenesis. Immunotherapy, while not associated with mutagenesis, was linked to an excess of driver mutations in PPM1D and TP53, illustrating how non-mutagenic treatment can sculpt somatic evolution. Our study reveals the rich tapestry of mutational processes and driver mutations in cancer-free normal tissue, and the profound impact of cancer therapeutic and life-time environmental exposures on normal tissue somatic evolution.

• Multiple Myeloma treated with anti-BCMA T-cell-redirecting therapy (1st Batch)

  Bone marrow samples were collected from patients treated with either anti-BCMA CART and/or anti-BCMA TCE. All samples were sorted using the StemCell EasySep Human CD138 positive selection kit II (StemCell, Cambridge, MA). The positive CD138+ were submitted for WGS, using peripheral blood mononuclear cells as normal matched. WGS was carried out by the Molecular Genomics Core Facility at Moffitt Cancer Center contingent on the availability of high-quality pre-treatment samples. Germline DNA was obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells, while tumor DNA was extracted from CD138-enriched bone marrow aspirate specimens using magnetic bead-based selection. Genomic DNA was isolated using the AllPrep DNA/RNA/miRNA Universal Kit (Qiagen). For library preparation, 100 ng of genomic DNA was fragmented using the Covaris ML230 focused ultrasonicator (Covaris, Inc.), followed by library construction with the TruSeq DNA Nano Library Prep Kit (Illumina) in accordance with manufacturer instructions. Library quality and fragment size distribution were assessed via Agilent TapeStation, and quantification was performed using the Kapa Library Quantification Kit (Roche). Sequencing was conducted on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 system using S4-300 reagent kits with a 2×150 bp paired-end configuration. Tumor samples were sequenced to a median coverage of 60×, and matched germline controls to 30×. Reference Genome: GRCh38.

• A conserved enhancer in ecDNA-containing Medulloblastoma

  Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) fundamentally reshapes the regulatory landscape of cancer cells by providing a platform for massive oncogene amplification and heightened chromatin accessibility. This research investigates how ecDNA-resident enhancers operate within large-scale molecular hubs to drive potent, long-range transcriptional activation that transcends standard chromosomal boundaries. By analyzing the unique structural configurations of these elements, the work identifies key mechanisms that contribute to rapid tumor evolution and significant phenotypic plasticity. These findings highlight the critical role of non-chromosomal regulatory elements in maintaining oncogenic signaling and suggest new avenues for therapeutic intervention in aggressive, ecDNA-driven malignancies.

• Transposable Elements Shape Stemness in Normal and Leukemic Hematopoiesis

  Despite most acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients achieving complete remission after induction chemotherapy, two-thirds will relapse with fatal disease within five years. AML is organized as a cellular hierarchy sustained by leukemia stem cells (LSC) at the apex, with LSC properties directly linked to tumor progression, therapy failure, and disease relapse 1–5. Despite the central role of LSC in poor patient outcomes, little is known about the genetic determinants driving their stemness properties. As LSCs share many functional and molecular properties with normal hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) 6, we investigated accessible chromatin unique across normal hematopoietic and cancer cell states and identified transposable elements (TEs) as genetic determinants of both primitive populations in comparison with their downstream mature progeny. A clinically-relevant TE chromatin accessibility-based LSCTE121 signature was developed that enabled patient classification based on survival outcomes. Through functional assays, primitive cell specific-TE subfamilies were found to serve as docking sites for stem cell-associated regulators of genome topology or lineage-specific transcription factors, including LYL1 in LSCs. Finally, using chromatin editing tools, we establish that chromatin accessibility at LTR12C elements in LSCs are necessary to maintain stemness properties. Our work identifies TEs as genetic drivers of primitive versus mature cell states, where distinct TE subfamilies account for stemness properties in normal versus leukemic hematopoietic stem cells.

• Ultra-sensitive tumor-informed ctDNA monitoring of treatment response in advanced esophagogastric cancer patients

  To explore whether ultra-sensitive circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling enables earlier prediction of treatment response and detection of disease progression, we applied NeXT Personal, an ultra-sensitive bespoke tumor-informed liquid biopsy platform, to profile tumor samples from the KeyLargo study, a phase II trial in which metastatic esophagogastric cancer (mEGC) patients received capecitabine, oxaliplatin, and pembrolizumab. A total of 24 patients were evaluated, and all were ctDNA-positive at baseline. ctDNA levels varied from 406,067 down to 1.5 parts per million (PPM) with a median limit of detection of 2.03 PPM. ctDNA dynamics were highly correlated with changes in tumor size (ρ = 0.59, p = 7.3×10-9). Lack of early molecular response (50% or greater decrease in ctDNA levels at first available time point after 30 days, C2D1 or C4D1) was associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR 6.6, 95% CI 1.8-24.1, p = 0.005) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR 15.4, 95% CI 2.7-87.0, p = 0.002). Lack of molecular clearance of ctDNA was associated with worse OS (HR 6.9, 95% CI 1.5-30.8, p = 0.012) and PFS (HR 19.2, 95% CI 2.4-152.8, p = 0.005). Molecular progression (ctDNA increase) preceded imaging-derived progression by a median lead time of 65 days. These results suggest that ultra-sensitive liquid biopsy approaches could improve treatment decision-making for mEGC patients receiving chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

• Sequencing data from triple-negative breast cancer tumors

  Autoimmunity and anti-cancer immunity lie on the same biological continuum1,2, but their link remains obscure. The paraneoplastic neurological syndrome anti-NMDA receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis (ANRE) is a paradigm for their connectivity3 given that intratumoral NMDAR expression correlates with the generation of anti-NMDAR antibodies4,5. Here, we verify ectopic expression of GluN1 and GluN2B NMDAR sub-units in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)6 and model this using orthotopic TNBC tumors with inducible expression of GluN1-GluN2B NMDARs. We show that NMDAR expression is sufficient to induce B cell recruitment and their affinity maturation, consistent with an integrated adaptive immune response. Reconstruction of extended intratumoral B cell phylogenies and cryo-EM structural analyses demonstrated that affinity-matured hypermutated and class-switched antibodies emerged from pre-existing germline-configuration lower-affinity anti-NMDAR antibodies. Distinct matured antibodies targeted specific epitopes and induced conformational rearrangements within the NMDAR amino-terminal domain, predictive of their functional effects, ranging from inhibition to potentiation. Passive transfer of an NMDAR-potentiating antibody caused autonomic dysregulation and lowered the seizure threshold in healthy female mice, recapitulating key diagnostic criteria of ANRE4,5. We further identify a correlation between intratumoral NMDAR expression and anti-NMDAR antibody titers in TNBC patients. Taken together, our data establish a direct connection between intratumoral NMDAR expression, antibody maturation, and the onset of autoimmunity. These findings suggest that germline-encoded anti-NMDAR antibodies contribute to immune surveillance but can also trigger autoimmune disease upon maturation, revealing a mechanistic tradeoff between cancer immunity and neurotoxicity.

• Frequent Genetic Alterations in Myositis Autoantigen Genes in Cancer-Associated Dermatomyositis

  One-third of patients diagnosed with dermatomyositis harbor an occult cancer, a rare condition named cancer-associated dermatomyositis (CAD). Emerging evidence suggests that genetic alterations in autoantibody-related genes give rise neoantigens and specific autoantibodies that initiate an autoimmune response characteristic of CAD. This study evaluated the prevalence of such genetic alterations and elucidated molecular mechanisms that may underlie their role in triggering autoimmunity. We detected highly frequent genetic alterations in autoantibody-related genes, supporting their role in the CAD pathogenic mechanisms. Distinct TCR repertoire and immune signatures between tumoral and non-tumoral tissues may underlie divergent cancer and dermatomyositis outcomes. Neglected, immunotherapy may offer clinical benefit in selected cases of CAD and warrants further investigation.

• 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.
