• Novel driver variants in the histone 3.3 genes, H3F3A and H3F3B, define bone and cartilage cancer sub-types

  A selection of human cancers harbours somatic driver mutations in genes encoding histones, most notably childhood brain tumours with K27M substitutions of the histone 3.3 gene, H3F3A. We performed whole genome sequencing of the benign cartilage tumour, chondroblastoma, and targeted sequencing of histone 3.3 genes, H3F3A and H3F3B, in seven further skeletal tumour types. We identified an exceptionally high prevalence of novel histone 3.3 driver mutations at glycine 34 and at lysine 36. Histone 3.3 gene mutations were found in 91% in giant cell tumours of bone (48/53), mainly H3F3A G34W variants, and in 92% of chondroblastoma (73/79), predominantly K36M mutations in H3F3B. H3F3B is paralogous to the cancer gene H3F3A. However, H3F3B driver variants have not previously been reported in human cancer. Our observation demonstrate remarkable tumour-specificity of mutations, with respect to which histone 3.3 gene and residue is mutated, indicating that the advantage these mutations confer is tumour dependent. Moreover, tumour-specific mutation of H3F3A and H3F3B suggests, that although both genes encode identical proteins, they are likely non-redundant and employed differentially during skeletal development.

• Myocardial Infarction Genetics Exome Sequencing Consortium: Malmo Diet and Cancer Study

  The Malmo Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) is a community-based prospective epidemiologic cohort of 28,449 subjects who were recruited for baseline examination between 1991 and 1996. From this cohort, 6103 subjects were randomly selected to participate in a cardiovascular cohort (MDCSCC), which seeks to investigate risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study is a subset of those samples. All exome sequencing was performed at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT; samples sequence capture was performed using Illumina's ICE Capture reagent and sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500.

• Genomic Characterization of Patient-Derived Xenograft Models to Improve Targeted Therapy for HER2+ Breast Cancer Brain Metastases Treatments

  We have developed orthotopic patient-derived xenograft models of HER2 positive breast cancer metastasized into the brain of patients to test novel therapeutic strategies. In this study, we identified a novel combinatorial therapeutic strategy that has resulted in a durable remission and markedly increased overall survival in majority of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models tested. We performed whole exome sequencing analysis of these PDX tumors and their matched blood and patient samples to investigate drug sensitive and resistance mechanisms. Our sequencing data revealed an interesting association of genotyping and phenotyping with tumors responses to drug treatment.

• Multiregion Sequencing of Localized Prostate Cancer

  Ten patients with treatment-naïve, locally advanced or localized prostate cancer underwent radical prostatectomy. Pathological stage ranged from T2aN0 to T3bN1, and Gleason scores from 3+4 to 4+5. Tumor foci were mapped, and DNA was extracted from multiple (5-9) regions from a single, contiguous index focus. Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify single nucleotide variants and indels, and low coverage whole genome sequencing was performed to estimate copy number variation. Phylogenetic relationships between foci was determined, and alterations associated with advanced disease or response to targeted therapy were identified.

• Combined Targeting of CDK4/6 and HER2 Signaling in Orthotopic Patient-Derived Xenografts of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Brain Metastases

  Patients with metastatic HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer will frequently develop brain metastases (BCBMs). Here, we report that p16INK4A, a tumor suppressor, is deficient in the majority of HER2+ BCBMs. Furthermore, p16INK4A deficiency, as measured by protein immunohistochemistry, can be a predictive marker associated with response to combined treatment with tucatinib and abemaciclib in our orthotopic patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) models of HER2+ BCBMs. Our findings provide the rationale for a biomarker-driven clinical trial of combined treatment with CDK4/6- and HER2-targeted agents for patients with HER2+ BCBM.

• Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TIL) Recognize Unique Somatic Mutations and Mediate Objective Clinical Responses in Metastatic Breast Cancer

  The purpose of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity of tumor mutations in patients with metastatic cancer. Harvest and analysis of progressing metastatic lesions are used for generation of tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cultures and the detections of somatic mutations. In vitro T cell activation assays are used to examine the immune recognition of tumor mutations by autologous TIL. Once a candidate is determined to have a cell product that meets the requirements of one of the Surgery Branch clinical trials, the candidate is evaluated for enrollment in a prospective adoptive cell therapy trial.

• ERBB2/HER2 alterations in ctDNA and metachronous tissues of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer - WGS

  Whole genome sequencing data related to the publication "ERBB2/HER2 alterations in ctDNA and metachronous tissues of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer." ERBB2 alterations, usually amplifications or activating mutations, are seen in up to 20% of urothelial carcinoma and can be targeted by monoclonal antibodies, small molecule inhibitors, and most recently, antibody-drug conjugates. Here, we perform targeted and whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA and archival FFPE of mUC with and without ERBB2 alterations to identify unique genomic and clinical features of ERBB2-altered cancers, accompanied by IHC, FISH, and detailed clinical outcomes.

• WES analysis of paired tumor and non-tumoral DNA of 4 patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

  We performed WES of tumor DNA and non-tumoral DNA (extracted from PBMC) of 4 patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, who after the tumor resection went on to receive BCG treatment as they had high-risk disease. In order to identify tumor-specific mutations that could give rise to patient-specific neo-epitopes, we performed paired WES of tumor and non-tumoral DNA for each patient. For patient UC2, 3 different tumors were resected at the same time and DNA from these 3 tumors were sent separately for WES.

• Breast Cancer - Subtype defined by an amplification of the HER2 gene

  Clinically positive HER2 (cHER2+) breast cancers (BC) are defined by the amplification and overexpression of the human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2/ERBB2) gene on chromosome region 17q12 and represent 15% of all BCs. Although anti-HER2 targeted therapies have improved BC’s natural history, the magnitude of their benefit varies widely between patients and deciphering the genomic heterogeneity of cHER2+ BC may provide a basis to better understand patients’ outcome. As part of the ICGC Breast Cancer Working Group effort, we combined whole genome sequencing and transcriptomic analyses of 64 cHER2+ primary invasive carcinomas.

• Structural rearrangements generate cell-specific, gene-independent CRISPR-Cas9 loss of fitness effects.

  CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is widely used to study gene function, from basic biology to biomedical research. Structural rearrangements are a ubiquitous feature of cancer cells and their impact on the functional consequences of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing has not yet been assessed. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens for 250 cancer cell lines, we demonstrate that targeting structurally rearranged regions, in particular tandem or interspersed amplifications, is highly detrimental to cellular fitness in a gene independent manner. In contrast, amplifications caused by whole chromosomal duplications have little to no impact on fitness. This effect is cell line specific and dependent on the ploidy status. We devise a copy-number ratio metric that substantially improves the detection of gene-independent cell fitness effects in CRISPR-Cas9 screens. Furthermore, we develop a computational tool, called Crispy, to account for these effects on a single sample basis and provide corrected gene fitness effects. Our analysis demonstrates the importance of structural rearrangements in mediating the effect of CRISPR-Cas9-induced DNA damage, with implications for the use of CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing in cancer cells.

• Spatial and temporal intra-tumoural heterogeneity in advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer: implications for surgical and clinical outcomes

  Limited evidence exists on the extent and impact of spatial and temporal heterogeneity of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) on tumour evolution and patients surgical and clinical outcome. We investigated this through systematic mapping of multi-site tumours at initial presentation and matched relapse from 49 chemo-naïve HGSOC patients with high tumour load, operated upfront. Our data provides a unique insight into the tumour evolution and metastatic pathways of HGSOC across time and space, how this complexity relates to surgical and clinical outcome and its consequences on clinical decision-making.

• Whole transcriptome sequencing of chemotherapy-resistant muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer

  All mRNA sequencing data were acquired from single patients (BC159T) at a different time (BC159-T#1, BC159-T#2, and BC159-T#3). The first transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) (BC159-T#1) was diagnosed with non-MIUBC (muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer). Despite of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), the patient progressed into MIUBC at the second TUR-BT (BC159-T#2). After undergoing multiple neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens (gemcitabine/paclitaxel and sequential paclitaxel), the patient developed local recurrence and multiple lung metastases and removed following palliative partial cystectomy (BC159-T#3).

• Pancreatic cancer organoids recapitulate disease and allow personalized drug screening

  We report derivation of 30 Patient-Derived Organoid lines (PDOs) from tumors arising in the pancreas and distal bile duct. PDOs recapitulate tumor histology and contain genetic alterations typical for pancreatic cancer. In vitro testing of a panel of 76 therapeutic agents revealed sensitivities currently not exploited in the clinic. The PRMT5 inhibitor EZP015556, shown to target MTAP negative tumors, was validated as such, but also appeared to constitute an effective therapy for a subset of MTAP+ tumors. Taken together, the work presented here provides a platform to identify novel therapeutics to target pancreatic tumor cells using PDOs.
