• CALGB 80303:Genome-Wide Association Study of Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Patients - A Randomized Phase III trial of Gemcitabine Plus Bevacizumab versus Gemcitabine Plus Placebo in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

  CALGB 80303 was a randomized, phase III study in advanced pancreatic cancer patients treated with Gemcitabine plus either Bevacizumab or placebo. No difference in overall survival (OS) was observed between the two arms. We prospectively collected germline DNA and conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS).

• Genomic evolution of pancreatic cancer at single-cell resolution

  This project assesses genomic evolution of pancreatic cancer using the Mission Bio Tapestri platform and Whole Exome Sequencing. The Mission Bio Tapestri platform is a single-cell DNA sequencing platform using a targeted gene panel to assess SNV/CNV. Several samples, including primary and metastatic tissue, were used to investigate changes at single-cell resolution.

• Single-cell RNA-seq profiling of patient derived organoids

  The aim of this study was to profile developement of resistance to cancer treatments using organoids. Two patient derived colorectal cancer organoids were profiled using single cell RNAseq after treatment with a combination of different anticancer drugs. The organoids were profiled both after 4 weeks of treatment and after a drug holiday of 2 weeks.

• Primary ER-positive Breast Cancer Treated with Neoadjuvant Letrozole

  These are tumor biopsies and corresponding normal samples from patients with early stage ER+/HER2- breast cancer who had received the aromatase inhibitor letrozole for 10-21 days prior to surgery.

• The RNA, ChIP and whole exome sequencing analysis of human colorectal cancer organoids and normal colon organoids treated with (+)-JQ1

  To reveal the mechanism of anti-tumor effect of (+)-JQ1, we performed RNA, ChIP and whole exome sequencing using human colorectal cancer and normal colon organoids.

• Molecular Classification of Hormone Sensitive and Castration Resistant prostate cancer, using non-negative matrix factorization molecular subtyping

  We aim to identify molecular subtypes of prostate cancer using consensus non-negative matrix factorization and correlate these with existing biomarkers to inform future immunotherapeutic strategies.

• Integrative modeling of tumor genomes and epigenomes for enhanced cancer diagnosis by cell-free DNA.

  3784 whole genome sequencing bam files were generated from plasma cell-free DNA of healthy individuals and patients with cancer. Paired reads were mapped to hg19 human reference genome.

• Circulating Tumor Cell Heterogeneity in Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer by Single Cell Copy Number Analysis

  Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is an aggressive variant of prostate cancer that may arise de novo or develop from pre-existing prostate adenocarcinoma as a mechanism of treatment resistance. Combined loss of tumor suppressors RB1, TP53, PTEN are frequent in NEPC but also present in a subset of prostate adenocarcinomas. Most clinical and preclinical studies support a trans-differentiation process, whereby NEPC arises clonally from a prostate adenocarcinoma precursor during the course of treatment resistance. Here we highlight a case of NEPC with significant intra-patient heterogeneity observed across metastases. We further demonstrate how single-cell genomic analysis of circulating tumor cells combined with phenotypic evaluation of cellular diversity can be considered as a window into tumor heterogeneity in patients with advanced prostate cancer. We performed whole genome sequencing of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patients with castration resistant adenocarcinoma (n=4) and neuroendocrine prostate cancer (n=8). CTCs were collected via Epic Sciences platform and single CTC genomic data (n=215) generated via Illumina NextSeq500.

• Genomic Alterations in Normal Breast Tissues Preceding Breast Cancer Diagnosis (GANPBC)

  This study was designed to examine the genomic alterations in histologically normal breast tissues of women who subsequently developed breast cancer and compare it to breast tissues from women who did not. Breast core needle biopsy tissues from 160 healthy women at the Susan G. Komen Tissue Bank were requested for this study and sequenced using whole exome sequencing. The samples included tissues from 79 participants who, during the annual follow-up with Susan G. Komen self-reported a subsequent diagnosis of invasive or non-invasive breast cancer after tissue submission; these cases were classified as pre-diagnosis normal tissues. The remaining 81 samples were from women who had no cancer diagnosis at their last follow-up and were classified as healthy control samples. Among the pre-diagnosis samples, the average time from tissue donation to breast cancer diagnosis was 4.7 years (range: 0-11). For the healthy controls, the average time from tissue donation to the last follow up was 6.1 years (range: 0-14).

• Identification and Characterization of Cancer Mutations in Japanese LungAdenocarcinoma without Sequencing of Normal Tissue Counterparts

  We analyzed whole-exome sequencing data from 97 Japanese lung adenocarcinomapatients and identified several putative cancer-related genes and pathways. Particularly, we observed that cancer-related mutation patterns were significantly different between different ethnic groups. As previously reported, mutations in the EGFR gene were characteristic to Japanese, while those in the KRAS gene were more frequent in Caucasians. Furthermore, during the course of this analysis, we found that cancer-specific somatic mutations can be detected without sequencing normal tissue counterparts. 64% of the germline variants could be excluded using a total of 217 external Japanese exome datasets. We also show that a similar approach may beused for other three ethnic groups, although the discriminative power depends on the ethnic group. We demonstrate that the ATM gene and the PAPPA2 gene could be identified as cancer prognosis related genes. By bypassing the sequencing of normaltissue counterparts, this approach provides a useful means of not only reducing the time and cost of sequencing but also analyzing archive samples, for which normal tissue counterparts are not available.
