• Mutational patterns and regulatory networks in epigenetic subgroups of meningioma (H033)

  DNA methylation patterns delineate clinically relevant subgroups of meningioma. We previously established the six meningioma methylation classes (MC) benign-1, 2, 3, intermediate-A, B and malignant. Here, we set out to identify subgroup-specific mutational patterns and pathway regulation. Whole-genome-sequencing was performed on 62 samples across all MCs and WHO grades from 62 patients with matched blood control, including 40 sporadic and 22 radiation-induced (Mrad) meningiomas. RNA sequencing was added for 18 cases and chromatin-immunoprecipitation for the enhancer mark H3K27ac followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) for 16 samples. Besides the known mutations in meningioma, structural alterations were found to contribute to the spectrum of mechanisms inactivating NF2 in sporadic meningioma similar to previous reports for Mrad. Aberrations of DMD were found to be enriched in MCs with NF2 mutations and DMD was among the most differentially upregulated genes in NF2 mutant compared to NF2 wild-type cases. The mutational signature AC3 was detected in both sporadic meningioma and Mrad, but distributed across the genome in sporadic cases and enriched near genomic breakpoints in Mrad. In general, the malignant MC presented a significantly higher exposure to AC3 and higher genomic instability beyond the mutational load than the other MCs. Pathway analysis of the ChIP-seq clusters revealed that the FOXM1 is most differentially activated in high-grade cases, along with super enhancer recruitment near HOX genes and respective upregulation of expression. This data further elucidate the biological mechanisms differentiating meningiomas of different WHO grade and epigenetic subgroups and suggest leveraging the genomic instability as novel therapeutic targets.

• Deep amplicon sequencing to infer malignant clonal populations for The interface of malignant and immunologic clonal dynamics in high-grade serous ovarian cancer

  A total of 192 positions per patient were deeply sequenced in each corresponding tumor sample (including 4 experimental controls and SNVs predicted to originate at each node of the sample phylogeny, see Zhang et al. for details). Genomic DNA templates were used as starting material to generate PCR products. PCR was set up using Phusion DNA polymerase according to the manufacturer’s specifications. The standard PCR conditions used were an initial denaturation at 98C for 30 seconds, followed by 35 cycles of 98C for 10 seconds, 60C for 15 seconds and 72C for 8 seconds, and a final extension at 72C for 10 minutes. PCR products were cleaned up using PCRClean DX beads. Amplicons were pooled by template for sequencing sample preparation. Sample preparation involved a second round of amplification using Phusion DNA polymerase with 6 PCR cycles, with primers specified in Zhang et al. DNA quality was assessed using the Caliper LabChip GX HighSensitivity Assay and DNA quantity was measured using a Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit on a Qubit fluorometer. The indexed libraries were pooled together and sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq500 platform with paired-end 150bp reads using v2 chemistry reagents.

• The mutational landscape of skin tumours in CYLD cutaneous syndrome determined

  Patients with germline mutations in CYLD can develop hundreds of benign skin tumours called cylindromas. The development of multiple tumours within a single patient at sun-protected and sun-exposed sites, varying tumour histological patterns and grades of malignancy allow for the testing of several genetic hypothesis in relation to cutaneous carcinogenesis. By adopting the unprecedented approach of whole genome sequencing of multiple benign skin tumours within individuals in multigenerational families, we set out to study the impact of mutational diversity on models such as multistep carcinogenesis as well as non-sequential carcinogenesis. Using non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) to discover mutational signatures, we found distinct mutational signatures in identical benign tumours (N=2 patients; n=11 tumours) at sun exposed and sun protected skin tumours within a mother and her daughter. We found recurrent mutations in epigenetic modifying genes in CCS tumours which are known to have an oncogenic dependency on Wnt signalling. We also demonstrate that cutaneous tumours that metastasize to the lung carry a a UV signature, supporting the origin from the skin. Distinct malignant tumours, such as BCC and malignant spiradenocarcinoma carried unique driver mutations. These findings add new dimensions to the existing paradigms of UV-induced skin cancer and highlight the utility of studying rare disease to gain novel insights into genetic mechanisms of tumour formation.

• Capmatinib shows superior efficacy for MET-fusion driven pediatric high-grade glioma and synergizes with radiotherapy

  Pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGG) is the most frequent malignant brain tumor in children and can be subclassified into multiple entities. Fusion genes activating the MET receptor tyrosine kinase often occur in infant-type hemispheric glioma (IHG) but also in other pHGGs, and are associated with devastating morbidity and mortality. To identify new treatment options, we established and characterized two novel orthotopic mouse models harboring distinct MET fusions. These included an immunocompetent, murine allograft model and patient-derived orthotopic xenografts (PDOX) from a MET-fusion iHG patient who failed conventional therapy and targeted therapy with cabozantinib. With these models, we analyzed the efficacy and pharmacokinetic properties of three MET inhibitors, capmatinib, crizotinib and cabozantinib, alone or combined with radiotherapy (RT).

• The University of Hong Kong Gastric Cancer Organoids RHO Signaling Study

  Objective: Cell-cell (CC) and cell-matrix (CM) adhesions are essential for epithelial cell survival, yet dissociation-induced apoptosis is frequently circumvented in malignant cells. Design: We explored CC and CM dependence in 58 gastric cancer (GC) organoids by withdrawing either ROCK inhibitor, matrix, or both, to evaluate their tumorigenic potential in terms of apoptosis resistance, correlation with oncogenic driver mutations and clinical behaviour. We performed mechanistic studies to determine the role of diffuse-type GC drivers: ARHGAP fusions, RHOA, and CDH1, in modulating CC (CCi) or CM (CMi) adhesion independence. Results: 97% of the tumour organoids were CMi, 66% were CCi and 52% were resistant to double withdrawal (CCi/CMi), while normal organoids were neither CMi nor CCi. Clinically, the CCi/CMi phenotype was associated with an infiltrative tumour edge and advanced tumour stage. Moreover, the CCi/CMi transcriptome signature was associated with poor patient survival when applied to 3 public GC datasets. CCi/CMi and CCi phenotypes were enriched in diffuse-type GC organoids, especially in those with oncogenic driver perturbation of RHO signalling via RHOA mutation or ARHGAP fusions. Inducible knockout of ARHGAP fusions in CCi/CMi tumour organoids led to re-sensitization to CC/CM dissociation-induced apoptosis, upregulation of focal adhesion and tight junction genes, partial reversion to a more normal cystic phenotype, and inhibited xenograft formation. Normal gastric organoids engineered with CDH1 or RHOA mutations became CMi or CCi, respectively. Conclusions: The CCi/CMi phenotype has a critical role in malignant transformation and tumour progression, offering new mechanistic information on RHO-ROCK pathway inhibition that contributes to GC pathogenicity.

• Discovery and validation of an ancillary genomic test of malignancy for primary melanocytic tumors

  Background:Pathological diagnosis of melanocytic tumors can be difficult and prone to error. More accurate and reliable ancillary investigations than those currently available are required to improve diagnostic accuracy. Goals: (1) to generate a genomic model for distinguishing benign (nevi) from malignant (melanoma) melanocytic skin tumors, developed from a customized gene panel evaluated on a cohort of 250 nevi and melanomas. (2) To evaluate the performance of the genomic model in melanocytic tumors of uncertain diagnosis/behavior. Details: The cohort of 250 melanomas and naevi was split into a discovery set and a validation set. Our genomic model obtained an area under the curve of 95% in the discovery cohort and 96% for the validation cohort. Based on a Youden index threshold, the resulting classifier shows high specificity (>95% in the discovery and validation cohorts), with sensitivities >80% in the discovery and validation cohorts. Evaluation of the genomic model on a cohort of 110 melanocytic tumors identifies key driver mutations in agreement with the likely pathway of origin of the tumors. The probability of melanoma (p=0.02) from the genomic model was significantly associated with pathology-based estimates of malignancy for melanocytic tumors lacking pathway-defining genomic aberrations (conventional tumors). The genomic model identified 8/36 (22%) conventional tumors with unresolved malignancy to have a high probability of melanoma, with 7/8 of these cases showing negative/non-aberrant results with either fluorescent in-situ hybridization, PRAME and/or p16 immunostains. Furthermore, no evidence of malignant behavior based on the genomic model was seen in 4 conventional borderline tumors with more than 1 year follow-up. Conclusion: This genomic model can become a clinically useful ancillary tool that is highly specific for differentiating melanomas from nevi.

• Single-cell RNA-seq data of the tumor microenvironment of lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin lymphoma and other Hodgkin lymphoma subtypes

  Lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoma (LR-CHL) is a rare subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma. Recent technical advances have allowed for the characterization of specific crosstalk mechanisms between malignant Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and different normal immune cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of CHL. However, the TME of LR-CHL has not yet been characterized at single cell resolution. Here, using single cell RNA sequencing, we examined the immune cell profile of 8 cell suspension samples of LR-CHL in comparison to 20 samples of the mixed cellularity (9 cases) and nodular sclerosis (11 cases) subtypes of CHL, as well as 5 reactive lymph node controls.
