• Spatial transcriptome analysis of aging of healthy skin samples

  Previous studies have revealed that skin T cells accumulate and maintain immune responses in the elderly. However, we questioned why these functional T cells fail to recognize and eliminate malignant cells, making elderly skin more prone to developing malignant tumors. To address this question, we examined the overall skin microenvironment in aging using Xenium digital spatial RNA sequencing.

• Sézary Syndrome Originates from Heavily Mutated Hematopoietic Progenitors

  The pathogenesis of cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) remains unclear. To study the malignant transformation of CTCL, we collected matched hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) extracts from bone marrow, CD4+CD26- malignant T cells, CD4+CD26+ normal T cells, and CD34+ HSCs from apheresis performed on 4 patients. To establish the baseline for calling true mutations without using hematopoietic cells, we also cultured bone marrow fibroblasts from each patient to use as normal controls. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on all samples for somatic mutation calling. We identified >200 mutations in CD34+ HSCs derived from either bone marrow or apheresis. Previously reported key oncodrivers in Sezary Syndrome were identified in autologous HSCs and malignant peripheral cells, but not in progenitor (bone marrow HSCs) cells. Also, we identified specific mutations shared by autologous HSCs and malignant peripheral cells in every patient. WES data of bone marrow HSCs, apheresis HSCs, CD4+CD26- T cells, CD4+CD26+ T cells, and fibroblasts will be available through dbGaP.

• Mapping Genotypes to Chromatin Accessibility Profiles in Single Cells

  In somatic tissue differentiation, chromatin accessibility changes govern priming and precursor commitment towards cellular fates1–3. Therefore, somatic mutations likely alter chromatin accessibility patterns, as they disrupt differentiation topologies leading to abnormal clonal outgrowth. However, defining the impact of somatic mutations on the epigenome in human samples is challenging due to admixed mutated and wild-type cells. To chart how somatic mutations disrupt epigenetic landscapes in human clonal outgrowths, we developed Genotyping of Targeted loci with single-cell Chromatin Accessibility (GoT-ChA). This high-throughput platform links genotypes to chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution, across thousands of cells within a single assay. We applied GoT-ChA to CD34+ cells from myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients with JAK2V617F-mutated hematopoiesis.

• STAT5 is a therapeutically targetable vulnerability in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma

  Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative disorders characterized by the infiltration and expansion of mature malignant T-cells into the skin. The disease encompasses distinct variants such as mycosis fungoides a skin resident variant, in which the malignant cells are restricted to skin lesions, and leukemic variant sézary syndrome characterized by circulating malignant T-cells. Here we integrated shallow whole genome sequencing and whole exome sequencing, on samples from four sézary syndrome patients and two advanced mycosis fungoides patients with blood involvement, to characterize genetic alterations and assess their therapeutic actionability. We identified an elevated copy number of 17q, resulting in increased STAT5 expression and activation, as a key factor in the pathophysiology of the disease.

• Dissecting intratumor heterogeneity of nodal B cell lymphoma on the transcriptional, genetic, and drug response level

  Tumor heterogeneity encompasses both the malignant cells and their microenvironment. While heterogeneity between individual patients is well-known to affect the efficacy of anti-cancer, most personalized treatment approaches do not account for intratumor heterogeneity. We addressed this issue by studying the heterogeneity of lymph node-derived B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) by single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and transcriptome-informed flow cytometry. We identified transcriptionally distinct malignant subclones and compared their drug response and genomic profiles. Malignant subclones of the same patient responded strikingly different to anti-cancer drugs ex vivo, which recapitulated subclone-specific drug sensitivity during in vivo treatment. Tumor infiltrating T cells represented the majority of non-malignant cells, whose gene expression signatures were similar across all donors, whereas the frequencies of T cell subsets varied significantly between the donors. Our data provide new insights into the heterogeneity of B-NHL and highlight the relevance of intratumor heterogeneity for personalized cancer therapies.

• Combined single-cell transcriptomics and T-cell receptor sequencing reveal heterogeneity of mycosis fungoides between and within patients and identify a CD4+ cytotoxic subtype

  Comprehensive analysis of the malignant cells present in the skin lesions of Mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, is complicated by the fact that malignant from reactive T cells are challenging to distinguish with certainty. To this end, combined single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing allows unambiguous identification of MF cells, thereby revealing a marked heterogeneity between and within patients with unexpected functional phenotypes. It should be further noted, that mRNA expression of established CTCL protein markers in single-cell transcriptomics to identify MF cells should be used with caution; however, our study uncovered an exciting gene expression pattern that serves as a beacon separating malignant from reactive T cells.

• Genomics Define Malignant Transformation in Myeloma Precursor Conditions

  Multiple myeloma (MM) is consistently preceded by monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). While these precursor conditions are asymptomatic, they are not entirely benign and carry a lifelong risk of progression to MM. Unlike other cancers defined by pathology, malignant transformation from MGUS or SMM to MM has so far relied on demonstration of clinical end-organ damage as morphology and cytogenetics cannot reliably distinguish them. In this study, using genomic data from 374 patients with MGUS or SMM (277 training, 97 validation), to our knowledge, we demonstrate for the first time the ability to identify malignant transformation in MGUS and SMM. We introduce the concept of genomic MM and genomic MGUS to differentiate the subsets of MGUS and SMM that are biologically malignant with genomic features indistinguishable from MM from the subset that is premalignant and unlikely to progress to malignancy. Importantly, we find that most SMM has biological features of malignant transformation indistinguishable from MM. As expected, this subset that we consider having genomic MM is associated with a high risk of progression to MM although some patients remained progression-free beyond 5 years. Conversely, 60% of MGUS and 10% of SMM have no evidence of malignant transformation (genomic MGUS), with no progression during follow-up. Integration of genomic features with the 2/20/20 International Myeloma Working Group model significantly improved the prediction of progression among genomic MM. These findings support the use of genomic criteria to refine the classification and the risk stratification in myeloma precursor conditions.

• Dynamics of Tumor Heterogeneity from Primary to Metastatic Dissemination in Prostate Cancer

  PRO-SPeCT: PROstate cancer heterogeneity deconvolution through Single cell Profiling of Chromatin accessibility and Transcriptomic output Identifying drivers of cancer progression to guide treatment selection is hindered by limited abilities to understand tumor heterogeneity’s impact on evolution. Here, we delineated the phenotypic variability across ~300,000 prostate tumor cells collected from multiple loci in primary and matched locoregional metastases. We found inter-patient heterogeneity to be confined to malignant populations. While malignant cell populations exhibit intra-locus heterogeneity, they maintain inter-loci phenotypic similarity within a patient’s prostate gland. In addition, the intra-locus heterogeneity between malignant cell populations is paired with a common clonal architecture. Lastly, we show that malignant cell populations disseminating to locoregional lymph nodes mirror the clonal architecture and phenotypic heterogeneity observed across primary tumor loci while showcasing cell state transition toward inflammatory phenotypes. These findings provide insights into distinct measures of tumor heterogeneity, revealing diverse evolutionary paths across patients converging to common phenotypic adaptations in early prostate cancer progression.

• Evolutionary analysis of pancreatic cancer and coexistent precursor lesions using whole exome sequencing data

  Most adult carcinomas develop from noninvasive precursor lesions, a progression that is supported by genetic analysis. Further, the evolution of these lesions contextualizes the dynamics of advanced stage disease. We analyzed the somatic variants of co-existing pancreatic cancers and precursor lesions sampled from distinct regions of the same pancreas. After inferring evolutionary relationships, we found that the ancestral cell had initiated and clonally expanded to form one or more lesions, and that subsequent driver gene mutations eventually led to a pancreatic cancer. We also found that this multi-step progression generally spans many years. Our data suggest that independent, high-grade pancreatic lesions observed in a histologic cross section often represent a single neoplasm that can spread and colonize the ductal system, accumulating spatial and genetic divergence over time.

• RNA-seq of MPNSTs

  Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors (MPNSTs) are highly aggressive soft-tissue sarcomas with a poor prognosis and a lack of therapeutic options. In this study, we analyse the whole-transcriptome MPNST and combine them with WGS data from a partially overlapping sample set. These analyses and the inclusion of another public dataset allow us to identify three genomic MPNST subgroups with distinct biological and clinicopathological features that can inform management and precision treatments.

• Deterministic Evolution and Stringent Selection During Pre-Neoplasia

  The earliest events during human tumor initiation are poorly characterized but may hold clues as to how to detect and prevent malignancy. Here we model this occult process by engineering TP53 deficiency in primary human gastric organoids and performing experimental evolution in multiple clonally derived cultures over two years, thereby defining causal relationships between this common initiating genetic lesion and resulting phenotypes. TP53 loss induced progressive aneuploidy, including copy number alterations and complex structural variants that are common in established gastric cancers, and which accrued along a defined temporal order. Longitudinal single cell sequencing of TP53 deficient gastric organoids similarly indicates progression towards malignant transcriptional programs. Moreover, lineage tracing with expressed cellular barcodes revealed highly reproducible dynamics whereby initially rare subclones with shared transcriptional programs repeatedly attain clonal dominance. This powerful platform for experimental evolution reveals stringent selection and convergence at the genotypic and phenotypic levels in pre-malignant epithelial organoids, illuminating evolutionary constraints and barriers to malignant transformation.

• Delineation of the heterogeneous molecular landscape of HRS cells and their biological contributions to forming comprehensive TME ecosystems.

  The tissue architecture of classic Hodgkin Lymphoma (CHL) is unique among cancers and characterized by rare malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells that are co-evolving in a complex ecosystem of immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. The lack of a comprehensive systems-level interrogation has hindered the description of disease heterogeneity and clinically relevant molecular subtypes. Here, we employed an integrative, multimodal approach to characterize CHL tumors using malignant cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics and imaging mass cytometry. We identified four molecular subtypes (CST, CN913, STB, and CN2P) each characterized by distinct clinical features, mutational patterns, malignant cell gene expression profiles, and spatial architecture of immune cell populations. Functional modeling of CSF2RB mutations, a characteristic feature of CST, revealed dysregulated oncogenic signaling and changes in tumor microenvironment crosstalk. These findings highlight the significance of multi-dimensional profiling in elucidating patterns of molecular alterations that drive immune ecosystems and underlie therapeutically exploitable vulnerabilities.
