• Amplicon sequencing of various tumors

  In our previous studies on advanced esophageal, gastric, and colorectal carcinomas, measurement of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in terms of variant allele frequency (VAF) in blood suggested: (1) patients with high VAF have a high chance of relapse; (2) VAF changes in response to treatment; and (3) ctDNA VAF elevation precedes imaging diagnosis of relapse. It is thus necessary to investigate whether these findings can be generalized in a wide cancer spectrum, types of treatment, and relapse phenotypes across cancer types. In the present study, we conduct a non-interventional observational study in a wide cancer spectrum on the basis of technical establishment for ctDNA using our unique digital PCR probe library.

• Polygenic Risk Score for the Prediction of Breast Cancer Is Related to Lesser Terminal Duct Lobular Unit Involution of the Breast

  The Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank (KTB) at the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center is an annotated biobank, which has recruited healthy women who provided demographic, lifestyle, and cancer-related information via self-administered questionnaire, blood samples and normal breast tissues. H&E slides of the normal breast tissues were scanned for image analysis and a pathologist measured the number of terminal duct lobular units (TDLUs) ("TDLU count"). The acini count per TDLU was quantified using the TDLU analyzer software. In this analysis, we computed the recently developed polygenic risk score (PRS) based on 313 common variants for the prediction of breast cancer and related this PRS to TDLU count and acini count per TDLU. We did this for the overall PRS, the ER-positive PRS and the ER-negative PRS.

• HCI-PDX Trial Center for Breast Cancer Therapy

  The HCI-PDX Trial Center for Breast Cancer Therapy study is a collection of patient-tumor samples that are serially established as patient-derived tumor xenografts (human tumor in mouse) and matching organoids. For this study, we describe valuable methods and resources to generate organoids and use them as cost-effective models for precision drug screens. This study leveraged whole-exome sequencing, RNAseq, and SNP-array data to illustrate how the heterogeneity of tumors is preserved in xenograft and organoid models. Sequencing files are provided for whole-exome and RNAseq data. Processed copy number variant calls from the SNP arrays are also available. A full description of the study can be found in the article entitled, "A human breast cancer-derived xenograft and organoid platform for drug discovery and precision oncology," written by Guillen et al., 2022 in Nature Cancer (PMID: 35221336).

• MYC Inhibition By Omomyc Causes DNA Damage And Overcomes PARPi Resistance In Breast Cancer.

  This study investigates the role of MYC dysregulation in DNA damage response (DDR) and PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in breast cancer. Using Omomyc, a direct MYC inhibitor, we demonstrate that MYC inhibition shuts down DDR genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), causing DNA repair defects and inducing DNA damage that synergizes with PARPi treatment. Through patient-derived models and clinical samples from metastatic HR-altered breast cancer patients treated with PARPi, we identify MYC transcriptional activity as a predictive biomarker of PARPi resistance. Digital spatial profiling (DSP) analysis of pre-treatment tumor biopsies reveals that patients with progressive disease have significantly elevated MYC signatures compared to responders. These findings support the therapeutic strategy of combining MYC inhibition with PARPi in PARPi-resistant breast cancers where high MYC activity predicts poor response to therapy.

• Combination_therapies_for_personalized_cancer_medicine

  It is the ambition of the team formed by members of the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI) and the Cancer Genome Project at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) to unravel the genomic and phenotypic complexity of human cancers in order to identify optimal drug combinations for personalized cancer therapy. Our integrated approach will entail (i) deep sequencing of human tumours and cognate mouse tumours; (ii) drug screens in a 1000+ fully characterized tumour cell line panel; (iii) high-throughput in vitro and in vivo shRNA and cDNA drug resistance and enhancement screens; (iv) computational analysis of the acquired data, leading to significant response predictions; (v) rigorous validation of these predictions in genetically engineered mouse models and patient-derived xenografts. This integrated effort is expected to yield a number of combination therapies and companion-diagnostics biomarkers that will be further explored in our existing clinical trial networks.

• Integrative sequencing reveals alterations in untreated and castration resistant prostate cancer

  We report the integrative sequencing of genomic, transcriptomic and DNA methylation changes in 28 untreated (PC) and 13 castration resistant prostate cancers (CRPC). AR, TGF-β and WNT signaling pathways were altered in CRPCs. We identified two new fusion genes, TMPRSS2-SKIL and DOT1L-HES6. Fusion analysis in an independent cohort validated SKIL as a recurrent 3’ fusion partner and oncogene in prostate cancer. The HES6 fusion was found in an AR-negative CRPC, and HES6 overexpression in vitro led to androgen independent growth. A distinct DNA methylation signature was found for CRPC. Transcriptome assembly uncovered 128 previously unannotated prostate cancer associated transcripts, including the ERG regulated transcript TPCAT-10-36067 whose knockdown had a dramatic effect on the growth, invasiveness, and rate of apoptosis of prostate cancer cells.

• Genetic Basis of Breast Cancer Resistance in BRCA1 Mutation Carrier

  Our study addressed a specific question in NCI RFA-CA-12-022: "What underlying causal events - e.g., genetic, epigenetic, biologic, behavioral, or environmental - allow certain individuals to survive beyond the expected limits of otherwise highly lethal cancers?". A germline mutation in BRCA1 (BRCA1+) is the most penetrant genetic predisposition for breast cancer. Nevertheless, a portion of BRCA1+ carriers does not develop breast cancer in their lifetime, suggesting that the genetic predisposition can be antagonized by resistant factors. BRCA1+ was inherited from an ancestor of the carrier family thousand years ago. We hypothesize that evolution could select certain genetic components to suppress oncogenesis caused by the predisposition. We compared germline variants in all genes in 27 pairs of breast cancer-unaffected and -affected BRCA1+ carriers, each pair inherited the same BRCA1+. We identified 12 deleterious variants enriched in breast cancer-unaffected carriers, all are common variants. A variant rs3735400 is located in ANLN, a cytokinesis-essential gene. Overexpression of variant-containing ANLN and suppressed expression of endogenous ANLN decrease ANLN nuclear localization and delay cell growth. Our findings suggest that common variants can be selected to resist oncogenesis imposed by BRCA1+.

• The Somatic Mutational Landscape of Thyroid Cancer in Patients with Germline PTEN Mutations

  PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) is associated with a high rate of thyroid cancer and benign thyroid disease, yet nothing is known of the genomic landscape of PHTS-associated thyroid tumors. In this study, exome sequencing was performed on 58 thyroid tumors (28 cancers, 30 benign nodules) from 19 patients with PHTS, sequenced in tumor-normal pairs. Somatic variant calling was utilized to determine the somatic mutational landscape of thyroid tumors in this population. This was then compared to the known mutational landscape of sporadic thyroid cancer in the general population using sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. The primary finding of the study was that PHTS-associated thyroid tumors had a unique genomic landscape, including a high frequency of second-hit somatic PTEN alterations compared to the sporadic thyroid tumors. Additionally, PHTS-associated thyroid cancers were found to have somatic alterations in BRAF, RAS family members, and genes associated with DNA double stranded break repair. Data available through dbGAP will include tumor BAM files for each tumor, normal BAM files for each patient, and MAF files for PHTS-associated thyroid cancer and PHTS associated benign thyroid nodules.

• Whole Mitochondrial Sequencing of Gingivo-buccal Cancer: ICGC-India Project

  As a part of the ICGC, India has undertaken genomic studies on gingivobuccal cancer of the oral cavity, which is the most prevalent form of cancer among men in India. There are various known environmental (life-style) correlates of this cancer, the most important of which are tobacco chewing and HPV infection. Detailed clinical characterization of the patients, collection of data on demographic and environmental exposures, and isolation of DNA samples from blood and tumor tissues collected from each patient are being done at the Advanced Centre for Research, Treatment and Education on Cancer, Mumbai. Whole genome and other sequencing experiments are being performed at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, Kalyani. Whole mitochondria sequencing of 89 patients was performed in this study. The mean depth of sequencing was at least 2500X, but variable across platforms, 2689X and 9894X for amplicon sequencing in Ion Torrent PGM (Tumor-blood pairs=16) and Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Tumor-blood pairs =48), respectively; and, 14,190X for whole genome sequencing in Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Tumor-blood pairs =25). Associations of mutation data with important clinical aspects have been found.

• Evolutionary analysis of primary tumors and metastatic lesions from 20 breast cancer patients (99 samples in total) using exome sequencing data.

  Metastatic breast cancers are still incurable. Characterizing their evolutionary landscape including the role of metastatic axillary lymph nodes to seed distant organ metastasis can provide rational basis for effective treatments. Here, we describe the genomic analyses of the primary tumors and metastatic lesions from 20 breast cancer patients (99 samples). Our evolutionary analyses revealed diverse spreading and seeding patterns governing tumor progression. Although linear evolution to successive metastatic sites was common, parallel evolution from the primary tumor to multiple distant sites was also evident. Metastatic spreading was frequently coupled with polyclonal seeding, where multiple metastatic subclones originated from primary tumor and/or other distant metastases. Synchronous axillary lymph node metastasis, a well-established prognosticator of breast cancer, was not involved in seeding distant metastasis, suggesting haematogenous route for cancer dissemination. Clonal evolution coincided frequently with emerging driver alterations and evolving mutational processes, notably a significant increase in apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide-like (APOBEC) associated mutagenesis. Our data provide the first genomic evidence regarding the role of axillary lymph node metastasis in seeding distant organ metastasis and elucidates the evolving mutational landscape during cancer progression.

• Pan Prostate Cancer Group data

  The Pan Prostate Cancer Group intends to provide breakthrough advances from the analysis of a very large series of Whole Genome DNA data, contributed by many of the leading scientists and clinicians working in prostate cancer genomics generating Whole Genome DNA Sequence (WGS) data from prostate cancer patients. The accumulated data, collected and compared in a common format including common storage, re-analysis through a single pipeline, and investigation to achieve a variety of scientific goals, are presented in this series. This project will provide a global framework for the future analysis of even larger series of genomes as costs of DNA sequencing, storage, and sequence analysis decrease. In addition to these WGS data from different clinical categories, ethnicities, levels of aggressiveness, and disease managed by different treatments with information linked to long-term clinical follow up, we intend to add additional layers of data, including transcriptome and methylation data. The current data series focuses primarily on the analysis of WGS data.

• Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of Pre-Transplant Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Pediatric Stem Cell Transplant Patients

  Children with malignancies, immunodeficiencies, and other life-threatening diseases sometimes receive allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as a treatment for their disease. The HCT process can be complicated by the development of lung disease from infection, alloreactivity, or other causes. To identify patients at-risk for post-HCT lung disease, this study uses metatranscriptomic RNA sequencing of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) obtained prior to HCT. Sequencing results are associated with the development of post-HCT lung injury.
