• De Novo Characterization of Cell-Free DNA Fragmentation Hotspots in Plasma Whole-Genome Sequencing

  The raw sequencing data deposited here are low-coverage (~1X) whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA). The purpose is to validate the performance of early-stage cancer diagnosis in the Zhou et al. 2020 BioRxiv paper, mainly for two types of cancer: early-stage liver cancer and breast cancer. The cases and controls are matched with age, gender, smoking history, and alcohol usage. We developed a computational method to identify the cfDNA fragmentation hotspots from pooled low-coverage cfDNA WGS data. We found the cfDNA fragmentation hotspots are highly enriched in regulatory regions, such as open chromatin regions. The signals from these regions can help the diagnosis of early-stage cancers and their tissues-of-origin.

• Single-Cell ATAC and RNA Sequencing of Human Breast Cancer Reveals Salient Cancer-Specific Enhancers

  Matched single-cell chromatin accessibility sequencing (scATAC-seq) and single-cell transcriptomic sequencing (scRNA-seq) were performed for 12 human breast tumor samples, 4 normal human mammary reduction samples, and 4 human breast cancer cell lines (HCC1143, SUM149PT, MCF7, and T47D). Both scATAC-seq and scRNA-seq assays resolved the underlying cellular heterogeneity in chromatin accessibility and transcriptional output for each patient sample. In this work, we quantitatively linked variation in chromatin accessibility to gene expression across malignant and non-malignant cell types from patient samples. We then showed that our findings were recapitulated in the breast cancer cell line samples. These data will serve as an important resource for the single-cell genomics and breast cancer research communities.

• DNA Repair Capacity for Lung Disease Risk Assessment

  A focus of this work was to address the extent to which susceptibility for lung cancer varies by gene-environment-phenotype interactions involving DNA repair capacity and differences in risk from environmental stressors. GWAS from a subset of subjects from the Lovelace Smokers Cohort and New Mexico Lung Cancer cohort were used to derive polygenic risk scores for DNA repair pathways (nucleotide excision, base excision, single strand break, non-homologous, homologous recombination). Logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between polygenic risk score and lung cancer status. Polygenic risk scores were grouped by quartiles. Only diminished base excision repair was associated with increased risk for lung cancer at the 25-50% quartile and approached significance at the 50-75% quartile.

• Construction of endoscopic biopsy banking for understanding the intestinal environment in colorectal diseases and exploratory studies using these banking systems.

  Colorectal cancer is the most common type of cancer in Japan. Although some colorectal cancers have a genetic background, most colorectal cancers are sporadic. Known risk factors for colorectal cancer include smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and red and processed meat. Furthermore, although it has been suggested that changes in the intestinal environment due to changes in diet and lifestyle may be involved in the increased incidence of colorectal cancer in Japan, the molecular mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. The main objective of this study is to elucidate the changes in the intestinal environment that cause colorectal tumors, and also to contribute to the establishment of colorectal mucosal tissue banking in Japan.

• Ultrasensitive Detection and Monitoring of Circulating Tumor DNA using Structural Variants in Early-Stage Breast Cancer

  Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection has an emerging role in the management of breast cancer, offering a non-invasive means to monitor disease status and detect recurrence. This study demonstrates that longitudinal monitoring of tumor-specific structural variants - frequent alterations observed across many tumor types including all subtypes of breast cancer derived from Whole Genome Sequencing data - allows for ctDNA detection in nearly all participants in this cohort with untreated early breast cancer prior to starting neoadjuvant therapy. On-treatment ctDNA monitoring enabled the early identification of patients at high risk of recurrence and ctDNA was detected prior to relapse in participants across all receptor subtypes. These findings demonstrate the clinical validity of this assay approach for ultrasensitive ctDNA monitoring.

• Evaluation of novel therapies using primary cultured gynecological cancer cells and search for predictors of efficacy

  The objective of this study is to establish an optimal method to evaluate the anti-tumor efficacy and biological activity of the novel therapies under investigation in our department using cancer tissues and cells derived from patients with gynecological malignancies in vitro and to evaluate them in practice. This research will contribute to the development of new treatments for gynecological cancer.

• Canadian prostate cancer samples (CPC-GENE) for PanProstate study

  CPC-GENE has sequenced the genomes of 350 intermediate risk prostate cancers to identify genetic signatures that differ in cancers that responded well to treatment compared with those that did not. CPC-GENE also has sequenced multiple regions of prostate cancer from the same gland to determine if and how the genetic make-up of prostate cancer varies within an individual man’s prostate
