• PHRT study of longitudinal sampling in ovarian cancer

  High-grade serous ovarian cancer presents significant challenges due to its poor prognosis and high heterogeneity, both of which complicate treatment responses. This project aims to understand intra-patient tumor evolution by investigating different sampling sites (primary and metastatic) at the time of diagnosis and during disease recurrence.

• 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.

• 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.

• Detection of isoforms and genomic alterations by high-throughput full-length single-cell RNA sequencing in HGSOC

  Understanding the complex background of cancer requires genotype-phenotype information in single-cell resolution. Long-read single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), capturing full-length transcripts, lacked the depth to provide this information so far. Here, we increased the PacBio sequencing depth to 12,000 reads per cell, leveraging multiple strategies, including artifact removal and transcript concatenation, and applied the technology to samples from three human ovarian cancer patients. Our approach captured 152,000 isoforms, of which over 52,000 were novel, detected cell type- and cell-specific isoform usage, and revealed differential isoform expression in tumor and mesothelial cells. Furthermore, we identified gene fusions, including a novel scDNA sequencing-validated IGF2BP2::TESPA1 fusion, which was misclassified as high TESPA1 expression in matched short-read data, and called somatic and germline mutations, confirming targeted NGS cancer gene panel results. With multiple new opportunities, especially for cancer biology, we envision long-read scRNA-seq to become increasingly relevant in oncology and personalized medicine.

• MutWP1__CRUK_Grand_Challenge_Mutographs_of_Cancer__clear_cell_renal_cell_carcinoma

  The Mutographs project aims to advance our understanding of the causes of cancer through studies of mutational signatures. Led by Mike Stratton, together with Paul Brennan, Ludmil Alexandrov, Allan Balmain, David Phillips and Peter Campbell, this large-scale international research endeavour was awarded a Cancer Research UK Grand Challenge. Different patterns of somatic mutation are generated by the different environmental, lifestyle and genetic factors that cause cancer, many of them are still unknown. Within Mutographs, the International Agency for Research on Cancer is coordinating the recruitment of 5000 individuals with cancer (colorectal, renal, pancreatic, oesophageal adenocarcinoma or oesophageal squamous cancers) across 5 continents to explore whether different mutational signatures explain marked variation in incidence. In brief, through an international network of collaborators around the world, biological materials are collected, along with demographic, histological, clinical and questionnaire data. Whole genome sequences of tumour-germline DNA pairs are generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Somatic mutational signatures are subsequently extracted by non-negative matrix factorisation methods and correlated with risk factors data. Through an enhanced understanding of cancer aetiology, Mutographs unprecedented effort is anticipated to outline modifiable risk factors, lead to new approaches to prevent cancer, and provide opportunities to empower early detection, refine high-risk groups and contribute to further therapeutic development.

• TCR β-chain repertoire characterization of regulatory and conventional T cells in peripheral blood from breast cancer patients and healthy individuals.

  Identification of tumor-specific effects on peripheral TCRβ repertoire formation in humans, investigation of the clonal origin of regulatory T cells in breast cancer patients and impact analysis of the tumor-specific conversion of conventional T cells into induced regulatory T cells on the peripheral Treg repertoire in humans.
