• Mutations conferring differential treatment response in breast cancer

  Poor prognosis primary breast cancer patients usually receive cytotoxic chemotherapy as a component of treatment, but despite this aggressive therapy recurrences remain common. Improved understanding of chemoresistance pathways would allow better stratification of chemotherapy using predictive markers, and may allow therapeutic inhibition of resistance mechanisms in order to chemosensitise tumours. We aimed to identify molecular pathways that define chemoresponse using the novel approach of examining the selection exerted by neoadjuvant chemotherapy on sub-clonal somatic mutational profiles of cancer cells.

• We performed an integrative analysis to determine genomic aberrations common to sporadic schwannomas.

  Schwannomas are common peripheral nerve sheath tumors that can cause significant debilitating morbidities. We performed an integrative analysis to determine genomic aberrations common to sporadic schwannomas. Exome sequence analysis with validation by targeted DNA-sequencing of 125 samples uncovered, in addition to expected NF2 disruption additional recurrent mutations. RNA sequencing identified a recurrent in-frame SH3PXD2A-HTRA1 fusion in 12/125 (10%) cases, and genomic analysis demonstrated the mechanism as resulting from a balanced 19Mb chromosomal inversion on chromosome 10q.

• A_compendium_of_mutational_signatures_due_to_environmental_exposures

  Analysis of mutational signatures caused by exposure to known mutagens in human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. A reference human iPS cell-line will be exposed to 100 chemicals known or proposed to be mutagenic. Following exposure to mutagen, cells will undergo a period of recovery before sub clones are generated and sequenced. The progenitor “parental” IPS cell-line will be used to generate reference sequence data, in order to determine the mutational signatures acquired as a result of exposure to different mutagens.

• Mutational_burden_in_human_hair_follicles

  We would like to dissect human hair follicles and assess the mutations found in diffferent parts of the follicle eg bulge, root etc. We can also compare this with mutations found in the surrounding epidermis of the same patients (this is done under a different study). This may provide insights into the origin of PTCH1 mutants frequently seen in basal cell carcinoma but so far not located in our whole epidermis work as well as defining the clonality of the hair follicle

• Genomewide copy number alteration screening of circulating plasma DNA

  Early cancer diagnosis might improve survival rates. As circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) carries cancer-specific modifications, it has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker for detection of incipient tumors. We collected cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples of 1002 elderly without a prior malignancy, carried out whole-genome massive parallel sequencing and scrutinized the mapped sequences for the presence of (sub)chromosomal copy number alterations (CNAs) predictive for a malignancy. When imbalances were detected, 6-monthly clinical follow-up was carried out.

• Molecular analysis of FIT interval colorectal cancers

  To optimize a fecal immunochemical test-based screening program, the rate of missed colorectal cancers (CRCs), so-called FIT-interval CRCs, should be minimized. A specific molecular make-up of those CRCs could be an explanation for those interval CRCs. Knowledge of the molecular make-up of these missed lesions could facilitate more accurate detection of all precursor lesions. In this study we aimed to compare the molecular make-up of FIT-interval CRCs and screen-detected CRCs (SD-CRCs).

• Defining structural variation associated with breast cancer susceptibility by long-read genome sequencing

  Germline structural variants (SVs) are challenging to identify by conventional genetic testing assays. Long-read sequencing has improved the global characterization of SVs, but its sensitivity at genetic loci associated with high- and moderate-penetrance cancer susceptibility has not been reported. This study used long-read genome sequencing performed on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies' PromethION to resolve variants underlying breast cancer susceptibility in sixteen individuals with pathogenic germline SVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2 or PALB2.

• Endothelium-derived stromal cells contribute to bone marrow niche formation

  Comprehensive transcriptional characterization of bone marrow stromal cells by RNA sequencing was performed to determine the molecular properties/signatures of endothelium during niche formation.Here, we identify a rare subset of cells in the human fetal BM that co-express endothelial and stromal markers, including low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (LNGFR/CD271). They display transcriptional reprogramming consistent with endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), reflected in their potential to generate stromal cells with in vivo BM niche forming capacity.

• Tumorigenic role of Musashi-2 in aggressive mantle cell lymphoma

  SOX11 is overexpressed in the highly aggressive conventional mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) but rarely in the indolent non-nodal MCL subtype. We performed RNA-seq of SOX11+ and SOX11- MCLs to search for SOX11-regulated genes that contributed to MCL clinical evolution, identifying Musashi-2 (MSI2) stem cell-related gene. By performing RNA-seq upon MSI2 knockdown or inhibition in MCL, we identified MSI2 as a potential target to inhibit drug resistance in aggressive MCLs.

• Single nuclei RNA-Seq from 5 regions of the human fetal brain

  Data generated through single nuclei RNA sequencing on 5 regions of the brain (frontal cortex, ganglionic eminence, hippocampus, thalamus and cerebellum) from 3 fetuses (two of 14 and one of 15 post-conception weeks, all female). Tissue was acquired from the MRC-Wellcome Trust Human Developmental Biology Resource (HDBR) with ethical approval. snRNA-seq libraries were prepared from ∼10,000 nuclei from each sample using Chromium Single Cell 3ʹ (v3) reagents (10X Genomics). Quality control of libraries was performed using the Agilent 5200 Fragment Analyzer before sequencing on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of at least 865 million (median = 1.01 billion) read pairs per library. Raw sequencing data were converted into FASTQ files. For a full description of data generation, please see Cameron et al, Biological Psychiatry 2022, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biopsych.2022.06.033.

• Whole genome sequencing in prime-edited human organoids

  We performed whole genome sequencing to detect possible off-target mutations induced by prime editing. Liver organoids, derived from a healthy control, were transfected with either control (GFP) plasmids or prime editing plasmids (GFP+PE2+pegRNA+nickRNA) to induce a 6-bp deletion in CTNNB1. One control and two prime-edited organoid lines were clonally expanded from single cells. High-throughput sequencing was performed on the complete genomic DNA isolated from these clonal lines, as well as the starting culture (bulk). After correction for germline mutations in the starting culture, new mutations in the control and prime-edited lines were compared. The same approach was followed in small intestinal organoids, derived from a patient with disease-causing 3-bp deletion in DGAT1. In these small intestinal organoids, prime editing was used to insert the 3 missing nucleotides. Two corrected clones were compared to one control clone.

• Somatic L1 retrotransposition in normal colorectal epthelium

  Throughout an individual’s lifetime, genomic alterations accumulate in somatic cells. However, the mutational landscape induced by retrotransposition of long interspersed nuclear element-1 (L1), a widespread mobile element in the human genome, is poorly understood in normal cells. Here, we explored the whole-genome sequences of 406 normal colorectal clones, 12 MUTYH-associated adenomatous clones, and 19 matched colorectal cancer tissues. In addition, we analyzed promoter DNA methylation status of retrotransposition-competent L1 (in 139 clones) and read-through RNA expression profiles (in 116 clones) to investigate the epigenetic regulation of L1 activity.

• Cancer-independent, second somatic NF1 mutation of normal tissues in neurofibromatosis type 1

  Cancer predisposition syndromes mediated by recessive cancer genes generate tumours via somatic variants (second hits) in the unaffected allele. Second hits may or may not be sufficient for neoplastic transformation. Here, we performed whole genome and exome sequencing on 479 tissue biopsies from a child with neurofibromatosis type 1, a multi-system cancer-predisposing syndrome mediated by constitutive monoallelic NF1 inactivation. We identified multiple independent NF1 driver variants in histologically normal tissues, but not in 610 biopsies from two non-predisposed children. We corroborated this finding using targeted duplex sequencing, including a further nine adults with the same syndrome. Overall, truncating NF1 mutations were under positive selection in normal tissues from individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1. We demonstrate that normal tissues in neurofibromatosis type 1 commonly harbour second hits in NF1, the extent and pattern of which may underpin the syndrome's cancer phenotype.

• Targeted sequencing of Human esophageal epithelium microbiopsies

  NOTCH1 mutant clones occupy the majority of normal human esophagus by middle age, but are comparatively rare in esophageal cancers, suggesting NOTCH1 mutations may promote clonal expansion but impede carcinogenesis. Here we test this hypothesis. Visualizing and sequencing NOTCH1 mutant clones in aging normal human esophagus, reveals frequent biallelic mutations that block NOTCH1 signaling.  In mouse esophagus, heterozygous Notch1 mutation confers a competitive advantage over wild type cells, an effect enhanced by loss of the second allele.  Notch1 loss alters transcription but has minimal effects on epithelial structure and cell dynamics. In a carcinogenesis model, Notch1 mutations were less prevalent in tumors than normal epithelium. Deletion of Notch1 reduced tumor growth, an effect recapitulated by anti-NOTCH1 antibody treatment.  We conclude that Notch1 mutations in normal epithelium are beneficial as wild type Notch1 promotes tumor expansion. NOTCH1 blockade has therapeutic potential in esophageal squamous tumors.

• BE_screens_of_WRN_gene_in_MSI_models

  We will take advantage of a base-editing screening strategy to engineer mutations in the WRN gene by deep mutagenesis. Two MSI-H cell lines sensitive to WRNi will be genetically modified to express doxycycline-inducible ABE and CBE base editors through a knock-in strategy. Moreover, we will design a pooled library of ~4000 gRNAs targeting the WRN gene plus appropriate controls gRNAs. Library-transduced cells will be selected with WRNi to identify WRN mutations able to interfere with the activity of WRNi.
