• Primary breast tumor heterogeneity through therapy

  We performed whole-exome sequencing on multiple regions (n=2-3) from four primary untreated breast tumors (n=1 HER2+, n=2 ER+/HER2-, n=1 triple-negative), as well as matched normal. We also performed whole-exome sequencing on one region from the pre-treatment diagnostic core biopsy and multiple regions (n=2-6) from the post-treatment surgical specimen for five HER2+ primary breast tumors, as well as matched normal; all were treated with combination chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Analysis of these specimens allows characterization of breast tumor heterogeneity and clonal evolution.

• Spatial predictors of response to immunotherapy in microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer

  Microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancers (CRC) are largely unresponsive to immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI), prompting investigation into strategies to enhance sensitivity. The MAYA trial, which utilized temozolomide (TMZ) in MGMT-silenced MSS mCRC, hypothesized that TMZ-induced hypermutation could sensitize tumors to ICI. This phase II trial met its primary endpoint, demonstrating durable clinical responses with TMZ combined with ipilimumab and nivolumab. To elucidate factors in uencing response heterogeneity, we conducted multi-omic spatial pro ling of samples from patients who participated in the MAYA trial, including baseline and on-treatment tissue and blood specimens. While increased neoantigen load following TMZ exposure did not consistently predict for deep responses, spatial profiling revealed key determinants. Lymphocyte proportions, particularly CD8+KI67+ cells, within stromal and tumor compartments, along with macrophage composition (CD68+CD163+ cells) at the tumor-stromal interface, were predictive of response. Treatment pressures dynamically altered the tumor microenvironment composition and activated peripheral immune cells. This study is the first to identify spatial predictors of response to this promising novel treatment approach for MSS CRC.

• Other NS tumors

  The dataset represents a total of 18 DNA samples from 6 male and 3 female pediatric patients affected with central or peripheral nervous system tumors not classified as embryonal central nervous system tumors, nor gliomas, glioneuronal, or neuronal tumors. One tumor tissue sample and one peripheral blood sample from each patient were subject to whole genome sequencing (WGS) and were sequenced 2x150 bp paired-end on an Illumina HiSeqX v2.5 instrument. The FASTQ files generated were aligned to the human reference genome sequence GRCh38/hg38 using bwa-mem, with the ALT-aware option turned on. Sorting of reads and marking of PCR duplicates was performed with GATK. Base quality score recalibration and joint realignment of reads around insertions and deletions (indels) were conducted using GATK tools. The dataset consists of 18 files in the CRAM format (lossless compression) with a total file size of ~3,4 TB. Additional genomic and molecular data (FASTQ, BAM, IDAT, and VCF files) and limited clinical data can be requested by ethically approved projects conducting research in the field of pediatric cancer.

• The_Causes_of_Clonal_Blood_Cell_Disorders_Study___SCOR

  We will take a bone marrow aspirate and peripheral blood samples from a healthy patient aged around 60, and use flow cytometry to isolate 100 HSCs, 50 MEPs, and 50 GMPs. We will grow these up into colonies, then whole genome sequence each colony. Somatic mutations will act as a unique barcode for each clone. We will then design a panel for targeted resequencing of the mutations that we find. It will then be possible to look for these mutations in the peripheral blood over several years, to see the dynamics of how HSCs contribute to the peripheral blood in health.

• Unraveling metastatic progression of breast cancer

  To reconstruct the trajectories of BC progression, we performed exome sequencing (Illumina HiSeq2000, Truseq DNA sample preparation kit v2 and Exome Enrichment Kit v2; alignement done with BWA, substitutions and indels called with GATK and DINDEL respectively) coupled to validation by Sequenom and deep re-sequencing (ongoing), as well as copy number (CN) analyses (Oncoscan, Affymetrix) on DNA from matched primary (n=1-6/pt), axillary lymph node (ALN, n=1-6 for 4 pts), local recurrence (for 1 pt) and distant metastatic (n=1-5/pt) FFPE samples obtained from an autopsy series of 10 BC pts.

• WXS of 147 lung cancer patients treated with immunotherapy

  We first attempted to predict MHC-binding neoantigens at high accuracy with convolutional neural networks. This prediction model outperformed previous methods in > 70% of test cases. Importantly, our method remarkably increased the predictive value of neoantigen load especially in combination with known resistance parameters. We then developed a classifier that can predict resistance from point mutations that are deleterious to protein function. Notably, genes involved in the adaptive immune response, cytokine signaling,and EGFR signaling held high explanatory power. Furthermore, when integrated with our neoantigen profiling, these anti-immunogenic mutations revealed significantly higher predictive power than known resistance factors.

• NRG1 Fusions in KRAS Wild-type Pancreatic Cancer (H021)

  We used whole-genome and transcriptome sequencing to identify clinically actionable gene fusions in young adults with KRAS wild-type (KRASwt) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). These alterations included recurrent NRG1 rearrangements predicted to drive PDAC development through aberrant ERBB receptor-mediated signaling, and pharmacologic ERBB inhibition resulted in clinical improvement and remission of liver metastases in two patients with NRG1-rearranged tumors that had proved resistant to standard treatment. Our findings demonstrate that systematic screening of KRASwt tumors for oncogenic fusion genes will substantially improve the therapeutic prospects for a sizeable fraction of PDAC patients.

• NanoSring of PBMC from bladder cancer and RCC patients

  PBMCs from patients were isolated using 50 mL Leucosep™ tubes (Greiner Bio-One International, Germany) and Ficoll-Paque™ PLUS (GE Healthcare, Sweden). Whole blood drawn into sodium heparin blood collection tubes were diluted 3x with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without calcium or magnesium (Lonza, Walkersville, MD). Diluted cell suspensions were carefully layered on Leucosep tubes and centrifuged for 15 minutes at 800 x g at room temperature (RT). Interphase containing PBMCs were harvested and washed with PBS and subsequently centrifuged for 10 minutes at 250 x g at RT before further processing.

• Chromosome Segregation Errors Promote a Diverse Spectrum of Simple and Complex Genomic Rearrangements

  Cancer genomes are frequently characterized by numerical and structural karyotypic abnormalities. Here we combined an inducible centromere-specific inactivation approach with selection for a conditionally essential gene, a strategy we term ‘CEN-SELECT’, and show that single-chromosome missegregation during cell division can directly drive a broad spectrum of structural rearrangement types. Cytogenetic profiling revealed that missegregated chromosomes are 120-fold more susceptible to developing seven major categories of structural variants, including translocations, insertions, deletions, and reassembly into chromothriptically rearranged chromosomes. Whole-genome sequencing of clones with genetically propagatable derivative chromosomes identified complex rearrangements and copy-number alterations that can result in gene inactivation or extrachromosomal gene amplification. We conclude that chromosome segregation errors are sufficient to drive extensive structural variation that recapitulates those commonly associated with human cancers.
