• Direct Transposition of Native DNA for Sensitive Multimodal Single-Molecule Sequencing

  STUDY GOALS: This study focuses on elucidating the epigenetic modulators of prostate cancer progression and metastasis at high resolution. This is achieved by applying a novel, high-sensitivity single molecule sequencing assay that measures chromatin state on single DNA molecules (SMRT-Tag) to matched primary and metastatic tumor samples from the same patient. Samples are obtained from patient derived xenograft (PDX) models. STUDY DESIGN: Individuals diagnosed with primary and metastatic prostate cancer in the course of routine care were consented and enrolled, and biopsies of primary and/or metastatic lesions performed to obtain sample material used for generating PDX models. Samples collected from these models were processed with a novel strategy developed for highly-sensitive multimodal profiling of single chromatin fibers using the third generation long-read sequencing. The resulting data indicates genetic variants, chromatin organization, and m5dCpG methylation status across the genome. PRINCIPLE FINDINGS: We determined characteristic single-molecule patterns of chromatin organization (spacing of nucleosomes, presence and absence of m5dCpG marks, etc.) that were altered in the transition from primary malignancy to metastasis. Broadly, global chromatin organization was severely disrupted in metastatic samples, resulting in increased accessibility at CTCF motifs, which may be relevant for disease progression. We further identified specific genomic domains including constitutive heterochromatin significantly enriched for irregular or hyper-accessible chromatin. Together, these findings suggest the involvement of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in evicting nucleosomes as a facet of metastatic prostate cancer. DATA AVAILABILITY: SAMOSA-Tag, the assay used in this study, is a sequencing assay that uses the third generation long read sequencing, specifically the SMRT sequencing platform from Pacific Biosciences. Demultiplexed raw SMRT sequencing BAM files generated in this study are deposited. Individual raw subread BAM files correspond to replicate sequencing assays performed on either primary or metastatic PDX prostate tumors.

• Bulk-RNA Sequencing of high-grade pancreatic and non-pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

  Therapeutic decisions in oncology depend on a precise pathological classification of individual neoplasms. Recent years have seen an intensification of research activities aimed at the extraction of clinically relevant information from patient-derived 'omics' data based on Machine-Learning models. However, a comprehensive training of Machine-Learning models requires sufficiently large numbers of training samples, which are usually not available for rare cancer types. The problem is worsened when individual tissues segregate into different cancer subtypes, as their discrimination would require even more training samples. Methods: Here, we report on a new data-augmentation technique to support the training of Machine-Learning models on ‘omics’ data from pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNEN). PanNENs display all properties described above: Only about 2-3% of all pancreatic neoplasms are neuroendocrine and they fall into different subtypes with distinctly different prognosis, which makes the precise classification of such samples both difficult and important for therapy decisions. The approach reconstructs a given transcriptome based on healthy pancreatic cell type signatures and creates a Machine-Learning model that integrates the observed reconstruction error and predicted cell type proportions as features. Results: A benchmark of the deconvolution model predictions with the ground-truth found that the model could efficiently predict the sample grading, disease-related patient survival time, and differentiate between different subtypes in four panNEN and one mixed panNEN and non-pancreatic NENs dataset. We compared the predictive performance of the deconvolution-trained model to that of a model trained directly on the transcriptomic data, under inclusion of the Ki-67 classification gold standard biomarker, and found the performances to be comparable. Conclusion: Our approach serves as a data-augmentation technique to facilitate the training of Machine Learning models for rare cancer types via utilization of data from healthy origin. Additionally, the deconvolution results were clinically interpretable and further research can render the deconvolution approach an effective complementary asset for the clinical classification of neoplasms.
