• Synovial Fibroblast Gene Expression in Response to Fibronectin Fragment

  Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease characterized by the progressive degradation of articular cartilage, hypertrophy of neighboring bone, and varying degrees of synovial inflammation. Recent research has highlighted the potential role of synovial fibroblasts in the pathogenesis of OA, particularly their inflammatory properties that disrupt cartilage homeostasis. Notably, degraded cartilage matrix components, such as fibronectin fragments (FN-f), have been identified in the synovial fluid of OA patients, suggesting that FN-f signaling influences the synovium where synovial fibroblasts reside. Despite affecting over 500 million individuals globally, our limited understanding of the underlying mechanisms of OA has significantly impeded the development of effective treatment strategies. To investigate this, we obtained deidentified surgical waste material from individuals undergoing knee replacement for OA. Synovial tissue was used to isolate synovial fibroblasts for cell culture studies. We generated bulk RNA-seq data from primary synovial fibroblasts (N=5 individuals) treated at passage 3 with either Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) as control or FN-f for 18h to model the OA synovial fibroblast phenotype. We identified differentially expressed genes at an adjusted p-value of

• Non-neuronal TGF-β–mediated extracellular matrix remodeling drives neurodegeneration in a PSP-Richardson syndrome model

  Progressive supranuclear palsy-Richardson syndrome (PSP-RS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder marked by rapid motor decline, cognitive impairment, and widespread accumulation of pathological tau. Yet, the molecular triggers of sporadic PSP-RS remain elusive. In this study, we combined patient-derived midbrain organoids with integrative multi-omics to uncover a previously unrecognized pathological cascade. At the core lies an early and aberrant activation of TGF-β signaling, which initiates profound extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and aberrant integrin-mediated focal adhesion. This cascade leads to persistent hyperactivation of PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK pathways, disrupting cytoskeletal integrity, impairing autophagy, promoting pathological tau phosphorylation and mislocalization, and ultimately driving synaptic degeneration. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed an ectopic expansion of vascular leptomeningeal-like cells (VLMCs), a collagen-producing population, accompanied by a broad ECM gene dysregulation unique to PSP-RS. Remarkably, pharmacological blockade of TGF-β, AKT, ERK, or mTOR signaling reversed tau pathology and restored synaptic integrity. These findings position TGF-β-driven ECM remodeling as a master regulator of neurodegeneration in sporadic PSP-RS and unveil multiple actionable therapeutic targets for this currently untreatable disease.

• Genome-wide cell-free DNA fragmentation in patients with cancer

  Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood provides a noninvasive diagnostic avenue for patients with cancer. However, characteristics of the origins and molecular features of cfDNA are poorly understood. We developed an approach to evaluate fragmentation patterns of cfDNA across the genome and found that cfDNA profiles of healthy individuals reflected nucleosomal patterns of white blood cells, while patients with cancer had altered fragmentation profiles. We applied this method to analyze fragmentation profiles of 236 patients with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, gastric, or bile duct cancers and 245 healthy individuals. A machine learning model incorporating genome-wide fragmentation features had sensitivities of detection ranging from 57% to >99% among the seven cancer types at 98% specificity, with an overall AUC of 0.94. Fragmentation profiles could be used to identify the tissue of origin of the cancers to a limited number of sites in 75% of cases. Combining our approach with mutation based cfDNA analyses detected 91% of cancer patients. The results of these analyses highlight important properties of cfDNA and provide a proof of principle approach for screening, early detection, and monitoring of human cancer.

• Genomic analysis of Smoothened inhibitor resistance in basal cell carcinoma

  Smoothened inhibitors are currently being investigated for the treatment of several cancers. Vismodegib is approved for the treatment of locally advanced and metastatic basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The majority of BCC patients treated with vismodegib experience significant clinical benefit, however, a small number of patients develop resistance. Knowledge of resistance mechanisms can generate predictive biomarkers and is critical for the design of additional therapeutic strategies aimed at circumventing resistance. To investigate mechanisms of resistance to vismodegib in BCC we sequenced and profiled biopsies from patients who initially responded to treatment and subsequently progressed on drug.We find that resistance is associated with re-activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway through diverse mechanisms, including concurrent copy number alterations in the downstream Hh pathway components SUFU and GLI2, as well as novel SMO mutations that reduce sensitivity to vismodegib. The latter fall into two classes: those that activate SMO and those that directly affect the vismodegib-binding pocket. Additionally, we observe evidence of clonal selection of SMO mutations and intra-tumor heterogeneity of resistance mechanisms, which implies diverse and combinatorial strategies are required to overcome resistance.

• Clinical significance of novel subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the context of minimal residual disease-directed therapy

  We evaluate clinical significance of recently identified subtypes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 598 children treated with minimal residual disease (MRD)-directed therapy. Among the 16 B-ALL and 8 T-ALL subtypes identified by next generation sequencing, ETV6-RUNX1, high-hyperdiploid and DUX4-rearranged B-ALL had the best five-year event-free survival rates (95% to 98.4%); TCF3-PBX1, PAX5alt, T-cell, ETP, iAMP21, and hypodiploid ALL intermediate rates (80.0% to 88.2%); and BCR-ABL1, BCR-ABL1-like and ETV6-RUNX1-like and KMT2A-rearranged ALL the worst rates (64.1% to 76.2%). All but three of the 142 patients with day-8 blood MRD <0.01% remained in remission. Among new subtypes, intensified therapy based on day-15 MRD≥1% improved outcome of DUX4-rearranged, BCR-ABL1-like, and ZNF384-rearranged ALL, and achievement of day-42 MRD<0.01% did not preclude relapse of PAX5alt, MEF2D-rearranged and ETV6-RUNX1-like ALL. Thus, new subtypes including DUX4-rearranged, PAX5alt, BCR-ABL1-like, ETV6-RUNX1-like, MEF2D-rearranged and ZNF384-rearranged ALL have important prognostic and therapeutic implications.

• Rucaparib in patients presenting a metastatic breast cancer with Homologous Recombination Deficiency, without germline BRCA1/2 mutation, pronostic value of high LOH genomic score and predictive value of HRDetect (microarray)

  Breast cancer may present genomic alterations leading to homologous recombination deficiency. PARP inhibitors have proved their efficacy in patients with HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC) harboring germline (g) BRCA1/2 mutations. We conducted the phase 2 RUBY trial to assess the efficacy of rucaparib in HER2-negative mBC with high genomic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) score or somatic, without gBRCA1/2 mutation. 220 of 711 patients with mBC screened for LOH presented high LOH score which was associated with a higher likelihood of death (HR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.11-1.75, p = 0.005). The primary objective was not reached with a clinical benefit rate (objective response or SD>16 weeks) of 13.5%. Two LOH-high patients, without somatic BRCA1/2 mutation, presented a complete and durable response (14 and 32 months). HRDetect tended to be associated with response to rucaparib, whithout reaching statistical significance (median HRDetect responders versus non responders: 0.465 versus, 0.040, p = 0.2135). Our data suggests that a small subset of patients with high LOH score could derive benefit from PARP inhibitors.

• A Single-cell Atlas of Progressive TKI Resistance in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

  High-dimensional scRNA seq and CyTOF were used to identify features predictive of treatment outcome at diagnosis. An optimal TKI response was characterised by erythroid lineage skewing of the CD34+ HSPC compartment. While TKI-resistant CP was reminiscent of a BC-like state, where HSPCs were enriched for inflammation, stemness and quiescence. We designed a machine-learning approach which assessed the prognostic potential of all 32 sub-populations of our scRNA seq dataset. LSCs and NK populations harboured the highest prognostic power at diagnosis. Within the LSCs, erythroid lineage priming and MYC activation were features of an optimal and poor TKI responses, respectively. With the NK cell compartment, apart from a higher abundance of NK cells in TKI optimal responders, a memory-like HLA-DR+ adaptive NK and KLRC1+ NK populations were hallmarks of an optimal and poor TKI responses, respectively. Mechanistically, both cell intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms contributed towards the higher sensitivity of EPs to TKI therapy. In summary, our high-dimensional single-cell atlas of TKI resistance highlights pivotal transcriptional features associated with TKI-resistance disease, some of which have the potential to be exploited as biomarkers.

• Heat selection enables highly scalable methylome profiling in cell-free DNA for noninvasive monitoring of cancer patients

  Genome-wide analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation profile has been recognized as a promising approach for sensitive and specific detection of many cancers. However, scaling such genome-wide assays for clinical translation is impractical due to the high cost of whole genome bisulfite sequencing. We have shown that the small fraction of GC-rich genome is highly enriched in CpG sites and disproportionately harbors the majority of cancer-specific methylation signature. Here, we report on the simple but effective Heat enrichment of CpG-rich regions for Bisulfite Sequencing (Heatrich-BS) platform that allows for focused methylation profiling in these highly informative regions. Our novel method and bioinformatics algorithm enable accurate tumor burden estimation with high sensitivity and quantitative tracking of colorectal cancer patient’s response to treatment, at much reduced sequencing cost suitable for frequent monitoring. We also show, for the first time, tumor epigenetic subtyping from cfDNA using Heatrich-BS, which could enable patient stratification from non-invasive liquid biopsy. As such, Heatrich-BS holds great potential for highly scalable screening and regular monitoring of cancer using liquid biopsy.
