• RNASeq of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer Patients

  Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are a subset of dendritic cells with unique immunophenotypic properties and functions. While their role in antiviral immunity through production of type I interferons is well-established, their contributions to anti-tumor immunity are less clear. While some evidence demonstrates that pDC in the tumor microenvironment (TME) may drive CD4+ T cell to become Foxp3+ T regulatory cells, little is understood about the relationship of pDC with cytotoxic CD8+ T cell, the key player in antitumor immune responses. In this study, we perform comprehensive immunophenotyping and functional analysis of pDC from the TME and draining lymph nodes of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and identify a novel pDC subset characterized by expression of the TNF receptor superfamily member CD134 (OX40). We show that OX40 expression is expressed on intratumoral pDC in both humans and mice in a tumor-model specific fashion and that this subset of pDC enhances tumor associated-antigen (TAA)-specific CD8+ T cell responses. Through transcriptomic profiling of OX40-expressing pDC from the TME, we further characterize gene signatures unique to this pDC subset that support its role as an important immunostimulatory immune population in the TME.

• The molecular landscape of homologous recombination deficient, end-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer

  High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is frequently characterized by homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency, and while most such tumors are sensitive to initial treatment, acquired resistance is common. We undertook a multi-omics approach to interrogating mechanisms of resistance, using multiple autopsy samples collected from 15 women with HR-deficient HGSC.

• NHLBI GO-ESP: Early-Onset Myocardial Infarction Exome Chip (Broad EOMI)

  The NHLBI "Grand Opportunity" Exome Sequencing Project (GO-ESP), a signature project of the NHLBI Recovery Act investment, was designed to identify genetic variants in coding regions (exons) of the human genome (the "exome") that are associated with heart, lung and blood diseases. These and related diseases that are of high impact to public health and individuals from diverse racial and ethnic groups will be studied. These data may help researchers understand the causes of disease, contributing to better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, as well as determine whether to tailor prevention and treatments to specific populations. This could lead to more effective treatments and reduce the likelihood of side effects. GO-ESP is comprised of five collaborative components: 3 cohort consortia - HeartGO, LungGO, and WHISP - and 2 sequencing centers - BroadGO and SeattleGO. As part of this initiative, the Broad has performed genotyping on several thousand subjects from 4 different cohorts on Illumina's ExomeChip platform as described below: The Duke Study: The Duke study enrolled cases from the Duke University Medical Center with myocardial infarction or coronary artery stenosis > 50%. Controls were individuals who were > 50 years old without coronary stenosis > 30% and without history of myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous coronary intervention, or heart transplant. The InterMountain Heart Study: The Intermountain Heart Study is an observational registry of individuals with coronary artery disease and healthy controls who received care at participating Intermountain Healthcare facilities. The Ottawa Heart Study: The Ottawa heart study enrolled cases with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (> 1 coronary artery with > 50% stenosis) who did not have type 2 diabetes and were ≤ 50 years old for males and ≤ 50 years old for females. Controls were also enrolled who were asymptomatic males > age 65 and females > age 70. PennCATH: PennCATH is a case-control study that recruited individuals undergoing coronary angiography at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. Cases had angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (>1 coronary artery with 50% stenosis) and were ≤ 55 years old if male and ≤ 60 years old if female. Controls were men > 40 years old and women > 45 years old with normal coronary angiography.

• Whole exome sequencing of uterine adenomyosis

  Uterine adenomyosis, defined by proliferation of the ectopic endometrial glands in myometrium, is a common benign uterine disorder that significantly impairs the quality of life of the women it affects. Adenomyosis lesions have chronic inflammatory reactions as well as cancer-like features such as invasive capacity into the normal myometrium. In contrast to endometriosis and leiomyoma, the genomic characterization of adenomyosis has yet to be reported. We conducted high-coverage whole exome sequencing analyses of freshly frozen adenomyosis samples, as well as co-occurring leiomyoma. Our WES analyses showed that adenomyosis is a clonal disorder with somatic mutations.

• Cutaneous Melanoma GWAS Combining Multiple Populations and Risk Phenotypes

  Most genetic susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma (CM) remains to be discovered. Meta-analysis genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 36,760 melanoma cases (67% newly-genotyped) and 375,188 controls identified 54 significant loci with 68 independent SNPs. Analysis of risk estimates across geographical regions and host factors suggests the acral melanoma subtype is uniquely unrelated to pigmentation. Combining this meta-analysis with nevus count and hair colour GWAS, and transcriptome association approaches, uncovered 31 potential secondary loci, for a total of 85 CM susceptibility loci. These findings provide substantial insights into CM genetic architecture, reinforcing the importance of nevogenesis, pigmentation, and telomere maintenance together with identifying potential new pathways for CM pathogenesis.

• Pancreatitis after Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (SJIRB XPD04-123 and XPD05-078)

  A complication of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment is acute pancreatitis, which is one of the common causes of asparaginase intolerance. To determine clinical and genetic risk factors for pancreatitis, we studied a cohort of children and young adults with ALL enrolled on COG trials (9904/9905/9906, AALL0232) and on St. Jude trial Total XV. We performed a genome-wide association study using germline DNA collected from blood in patients at remission in this cohort of 5185 patients and in an independent case-control group of 213 patients on AALL0331. The frequency of pancreatitis in the cohort was 2.3% (117 of 5185). No common variants reached genome-wide significance, but a rare nonsense variant rs199695765 in CPA2, encoding carboxypeptidase A2, was highly associated with pancreatitis (odds ratio = 587, 95% confidence interval 66.8-5166, P = 9.0 x 10-9). A gene-level analysis showed an excess of additional CPA2 variants in patients who did versus those who did not develop pancreatitis (P = 0.018). Sixteen CPA2 SNPs were associated (P < 0.05) with pancreatitis, and 13 of 24 patients who carried at least one of these variants developed pancreatitis. Biological functions that were overrepresented by common variants modestly associated with pancreatitis included purine metabolism and cytoskeleton regulation.

• High response rate to anti PD-1 therapy in desmoplastic melanoma

  Desmoplastic melanoma (DM) is a rare subtype of melanoma characterized by dense fibrous stroma, resistance to chemotherapy and a lack of actionable driver mutations, but is highly associated with ultraviolet light DNA damage. We analysed 60 patients with advanced DM treated with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) or PD-1 ligand (PD-L1) blocking antibody therapy. Objective tumor responses were observed in 42 of the 60 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval 57-81%), including 19 patients (32% overall) with a complete response. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a high mutational load and frequent NF-1 mutations (14 out of 17 cases). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis from 19 DM and 13 non-DM revealed a higher percentage of PD-L1 positive cells in the tumor parenchyma in DM (p = 0.04), highly associated with increased CD8 density and PD-L1 expression in the tumor invasive margin. Therefore, patients with advanced DM derive significant clinical benefit from PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint blockade therapy despite being a cancer defined by its dense desmoplastic fibrous stroma. The benefit is likely derived from the high mutational burden and a frequent pre-existing adaptive immune response limited by PD-L1 expression.
