• A compendium of mutational signatures due to environmental exposures

  Whole-genome-sequencing (WGS) of human tumours has revealed distinct mutation patterns that hint at the causative origins of cancer. We examined mutational-signatures in 324 WGS of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) following exposure to known or suspected environmental carcinogens. 79 agents were tested with or without metabolic activation at concentrations that produced measurable cytotoxicity; 41 yielded characteristic substitution mutational signatures. Some exhibit similarity with signatures found in human tumours. Additionally, 6 agents produced double-substitution signatures and 8 produced indel signatures. Investigating mutation asymmetries across genome topography reveals fully functional mismatch and transcription-coupled repair pathways in iPSCs. Primary adducts induced by environmental carcinogens can be resolved by disparate repair/replicative pathways, resulting in an assortment of signature outcomes even for a single mutagen. This compendium of experimentally-induced mutational-signatures permits further exploration of roles of environmental agents in cancer aetiology, and underscores how human stem cell DNA is directly vulnerable to environmental agents.

• Impact of mutational profiles on response of primary oestrogen receptor-positive breast cancers to oestrogen deprivation

  Presurgical studies allow study of the relationship between mutations and response of estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) but have been limited to small biopsies. Here in Phase I of this study, we perform exome sequencing on baseline, surgical core-cuts and blood from 60 patients (40 AI treated, 20 Controls). In poor responders (based on Ki67 change) we find significantly more somatic mutations than good responders. Subclones exclusive to baseline or surgical cores   occur in approximately 30% of tumours. In Phase II we combine targeted sequencing on another 28 treated patients with Phase I. We find six genes frequently mutated: PIK3CA, TP53, CDH1, MLL3, ABCA13 and FLG with 71% concordance between paired cores. TP53 mutations are associated with poor response. We conclude that multiple biopsies are essential for confident mutational profiling of ER+ breast cancer and TP53 mutations are associated with resistance to oestrogen deprivation therapy.

• The landscape of somatic mutation in normal colorectal epithelial cells

  The colorectal adenoma-carcinoma sequence has provided a paradigmatic framework for understanding the successive somatic genetic events and consequent clonal expansions leading to cancer. As for most cancer types, however, understanding of the earliest phases of colorectal neoplastic change, which may occur in morphologically normal tissue, is comparatively limited because of the difficulty of detecting somatic mutations in normal cells. Each colorectal crypt is a small clone of cells derived from a single recently-existing stem cell. Here, we sequenced hundreds of normal crypts from 42 individuals. Signatures of multiple mutational processes were revealed, some ubiquitous and continuous, others only found in some individuals, in some crypts or during some phases of the cell lineage from zygote to adult cell. Likely driver mutations were present in ~1% of normal colorectal crypts in middle-aged individuals, indicating that adenomas and carcinomas are rare outcomes of a pervasive process of neoplastic change across morphologically normal colorectal epithelium.

• Lung cancer organoids addition

  Organoids are self-organizing 3D structures grown from stem cells that recapitulate essential aspects of organ structure and function. Here we describe a method to establish long-term culture conditions of human airway epithelial organoids that contain all major cell populations and allow personalized human disease modelling. We collected macroscopically inconspicuous lung tissue from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing medically indicated surgery and isolated epithelial cells to engineer 3D organoids. We exploit the potential to derive sub-clones from AOs to demonstrate the feasibility of CRISPR gene editing. Finally, we show that AOs readily allow modelling of viral infections such as RSV and for the first time demonstrate the possibility to study neutrophil-epithelium interaction in an organoid model. Taken together, we anticipate that human AOs will find broad applications in the study of adult human airway epithelium in health and disease.

• Targeted Sequencing of 173 genes

  Targeted sequencing of 173 genes in 2433 primary breast tumours. Data includes 2433 tumour samples, 523 adjacent normal (breast) samples and 127 blood samples. Libraries were prepared with Illumina's Nextera custom enrichment kit targetting all the exons of the most frequently mutated breast cancer genes. Libraries were multiplexed (48 libraries per lane) and sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2000 (100bp paired-end reads). Somatic mutations were calling with a custom pipeline. We identified 40 mutation-driver (Mut-driver) genes, and determined associations between mutations, driver CNA profiles, clinical-pathological parameters and survival. We assessed the clonal states of Mut-driver mutations, and estimated levels of intra-tumour heterogeneity using mutant-allele fractions. The results emphasize the importance of genome-based stratification of breast cancer, and have important implications for designing therapeutic strategies. Referece: Pereira et al.

• Monotherapy Breast Cancer

  These samples are from locally advanced breast cancers that have been treated with epirubicin monotherapy before surgery. We will sequence some samples from patients with good response to the therapy and some with poor response to the therapy.

• Signatures of mismatch repair deficiency in cancer genomes

  DNA replication errors occurring in mismatch repair (MMR) deficient cells persist as mismatch mutations and predispose to a range of tumors. Here, we sequenced the first whole-genomes from MMR-deficient endometrial tumors.
