• Exploiting evolutionary steering in cancer therapy

  Drug resistance, mediated by intra-tumour heterogeneity and clonal evolution, is arguably the biggest problem in cancer therapy today. However, evolving resistance to one drug may come at the cost of increased sensitivity to another due to so-called evolutionary trade-offs. This weakness can be exploited in the clinic using an approach called ‘evolutionary herding’ that aims at controlling the tumour cell population to delay or prevent resistance. However, model systems able to recapitulate cancer evolution experimentally are lacking and current in vitro techniques based on small populations, re-plating and escalating dose, are unsuitable to develop evolutionary herding strategies. We present a novel methodology for evolutionary herding in vitro and ex vivo using patient-derived organoids. Our approach is based on a combination of single-cell barcoding, very large populations of 108-109 cells grown without re-plating, realistic high drug doses, time-course monitoring of cancer clones, and mathematical modelling of tumour evolutionary dynamics. We demonstrate evolutionary herding in non-small cell lung cancer in vitro and in patient-derived colorectal cancer organoids (PDO). We show that herding causes controlled evolutionary bottlenecks that lead to collateral sensitivity. Through genomic analysis, we were also able to determine the mechanisms that drive such sensitivity. Our approach allows modelling evolutionary trade-offs experimentally to test patient-specific evolutionary herding strategies that can be translated into the clinic to control treatment resistance.

• Methylome profiling of Solitary fibrous tumor/Hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) and a patient derived cell-line model

  Solitary fibrous tumor/Hemangiopericytoma (SFT/HPC) is a rare subtype of soft tissue sarcoma associated with NAB2-STAT6 gene fusions. This study established and characterized a novel SFT/HPC patient-derived cell line called SFT-S1 using the twist human methylome panel.

• Pan Cancer Investigation of Human Leukocyte Antigen Loss of Heterozygosity

  Cancer cells can escape immune recognition through human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loss of heterozygosity (LOH) which results in deletion of HLA alleles, causing a reduction in presentation of tumor neoantigens. Despite its influence on immunotherapy response, few methods exist to detect HLA LOH, and accuracy of the approaches is poorly defined. Here, we present DASH (Deletion of Allele-Specific HLAs), a machine learning-based algorithm developed to detect HLA LOH from paired tumor-normal sequencing data. Using DASH to characterize HLA LOH in 610 patients across 15 cancer types, we found that 18% of patients had loss of heterozygosity in at least one HLA allele, suggesting the HLA LOH is a widespread, and potentially key immune resistance strategy in multiple cancers.

• Chronic lymphocytic leukemia IGHV somatic hypermutation detection by targeted capture next-generation sequencing

  Somatic hypermutation (SHM) status of the immunoglobulin heavy variable (IGHV) gene locus plays a crucial role in determining the prognosis and treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A common approach for determining SHM status is multiplex PCR of the IGH gene followed by Sanger sequencing; however, this technique is low throughput, vulnerable to failure, and does not allow multiplexing with other molecular diagnostic assays. Here we designed and validated a DNA targeted capture approach that allows the assessment of IGHV SHM status as a sub-module of a larger next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay. We developed an end-to-end assay that takes as input raw FASTQ files and outputs a report containing IGHV SHM status and V-allele usage following the guidelines of the European Research Initiative on CLL (ERIC). We validated the approach on 35 CLL patient samples, 34 of which were previously characterized using Sanger sequencing. The targeted capture NGS panel identified the SHM status of 34 of 35 CLL patients. We showed 100% sensitivity and specificity among the 33 CLL samples with both NGS and Sanger calls. Furthermore, we demonstrated that this panel can be combined with additional targeted capture panels to detect common and prognostically important CLL single nucleotide variants (SNV) and insertion/deletion (indel) variants as well as copy number variants (del17p). Thus, a targeted capture approach to IGHV SHM detection can be easily integrated into broader sequencing panels, allowing broad CLL prognostication in a single molecular assay.

• Human PMS1-dependent non-canonical mismatch repair converges with MBD4 to repair 5-methylcytosine deamination

  CpG dinucleotides are mutational hotspots due to spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine (5mC), resulting in T:G mismatches that can lead to CpG>TpG transitions. These mutations are a hallmark of aging and cancer and play a central role in the evolution of vertebrate genomes. We have previously uncovered MBD4 as the primary Base Excision Repair (BER) glycosylase responsible for 5mC deamination repair. Here, we employ an APOBEC1 deaminase fused to a catalytically dead Cas9 to induce targeted 5mC deamination independently of DNA replication, and track its repair in human cells. This approach reveals that MBD4 elicits a coordinated repair response with a non-canonical branch of Mismatch Repair (MMR) involving complexes MutLβ (MLH1-PMS1) and MutSα (MSH2-MSH6). We demonstrate that human PMS1 loss phenocopies the CpG>TpG hypermutation associated with MBD4 deficiency, revealing 5mC deamination repair as one of its main functions. Structural predictions with functional validation reveal that MBD4 activity is dependent on its physical interaction with MutLβ. In alignment with our experimental data, we show that the CpG>TpG mutational burden of MMR-deficient tumors is partly explained by replication-independent processes. Altogether, we uncover a novel function of non-canonical MMR that underscores its interplay with BER in safeguarding genomic integrity against damage to methylated DNA.

• The_Little_Princess_Knowledge_Bank_RNAseq

  The purpose of the knowledge bank is to serve as a community resource and to address the following specific questions about Wilms tumour: (1) Do genetic, epigenetic, or transcriptional features predict outcome and thus lend themselves to treatment stratification? (2) What are the genetic drivers of Wilms tumour, considering the entire histological spectrum of Wilms tumour including the most common subtypes classified as intermediate risk?

• National Cancer Institute (NCI) Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Genome-wide Association Study

  A discovery GWAS is performed, consisting of genotyping 221 Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) cases on the Illumina Omni Express 12v1.1 platform and analyzing the genotypes together with those of 3798 previously genotyped controls in a model taking into account gender, age, and principal components of ancestry (i.e., significant eigenvectors). Directly genotyped data are supplemented by imputation using the Haplotype Reference Consortium.

• Molecular Analysis of Alliance A031201 Study

  This is the first study examining the relationship between clonal hematopoiesis and clinical outcomes in prostate cancer patients. We used a targeted gene sequencing panel to identify patients in the A031201 clinical trial with and without clonal hematopoiesis. We found that clonal hematopoiesis did not affect overall or progression free survival in A031201 but was associated more adverse cardiac events.
