• Heterogeneous metabolic signatures are linked to cancer cell differentiation in colorectal cancer

  Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by functional intratumor heterogeneity that shares many similarites with the hierarchical organization of the normal intestinal epithelium. In order to relate transcriptional subtypes to functional tumor cell heterogeneity we applied scRNA-seq to 12 patient-derived CRC spheroid cultures. We identified shared expression programs that relate to intestinal lineages and revealed metabolic signatures that are linked to cancer cell differentiation. In addition, we validated and complemented sequencing results by quantitative microscopy using live-dyes and multiplexed RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization, thereby revealing metabolic compartmentalization and potential cell-cell interactions. Finally, we demonstrate functional differences between metabolically distinct lineage subtypes that might have strong implications for future treatment strategies of CRC.

• Genomic Resistance Patterns to Second Generation Androgen Blockade in Paired Tumor Biopsies of Metastatic Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer

  We examined genetic resistance to second generation androgen targeting therapies (abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide) by analyzing whole exome sequencing of patient-matched pre-treatment and post-resistance tumors from a series of castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients. Abiraterone resistant tumors harbored alterations in AR and MYC, whereas patients treated with enzalutamide had acquired alterations in the cell cycle pathway. We experimentally confirmed expression of cell-cycle kinases sufficed to drive enzalutamide resistance, which was mitigated through CDK4/6 blockade. These observations link genetic resistance to specific therapeutic agents to inform strategies in genomically selected advanced CRPC.

• APOL1 Risk Variants Induce Metabolic Reprogramming of Podocytes in Patient-Derived Kidney Organoids

  Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) high-risk genotypes G1 and G2 are responsible for the increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the African-American population, especially in the presence of interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Here, we applied single cell transcriptomics on kidney organoids generated from patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model human APOL1 nephropathy. iPSCs were generated from fibroblasts of two patients with APOL1 nephropathy homozygous for G1 or G2 risk variants, and an isogenic control (G0) was created by gene correction. Kidney organoids were generated according to previously published protocol (Takasato M et al. Nat. Protoc. 2016) and treated with IFN-γ for two days to induce APOL1. Twenty-four hours after IFN-γ removal, treated organoids from all three lines that were cultured in parallel were harvested for single cell transcriptomics.

• ctDNA monitoring using patient-specific sequencing and integration of variant reads - Breast cohort

  Circulating tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA) can be used to monitor cancer dynamics noninvasively. Detection of ctDNA can be challenging in patients with low-volume or residual disease, where plasma contains very few tumor-derived DNA fragments. We show that sensitivity for ctDNA detection in plasma can be improved by analyzing hundreds to thousands of mutations that are first identified by tumor genotyping. We describe the INtegration of VAriant Reads (INVAR) pipeline, which combines custom error-suppression methods and signal-enrichment approaches based on biological features of ctDNA. With this approach, the detection limit in each sample can be estimated independently based on the number of informative reads sequenced across multiple patient-specific loci. We applied INVAR to custom hybrid-capture sequencing data from 176 plasma samples from 105 patients with melanoma, lung, renal, glioma, and breast cancer across both early and advanced disease. By integrating signal across a median of >105 informative reads, ctDNA was routinely quantified to 1 mutant molecule per 100,000, and in some cases with high tumor mutation burden and/or plasma input material, to individual parts per million. This resulted in median Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of 0.98 in advanced cancers, and 0.80 in early stage and challenging settings for ctDNA detection. We generalized this method to whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing, showing that the INVAR may be applied without requiring personalized sequencing panels, so long as a tumor mutation list is available. As tumor sequencing becomes increasingly performed, such methods for personalized cancer monitoring may enhance the sensitivity of cancer liquid biopsies.

• A Comprehensive Genetic Study of Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma Using Circulating Tumour DNA

  This study on classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) used advanced methods to analyse circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in 297 cases, offering insights into its genetic landscape and linking it to disease pathophysiology and clinical progression. Key findings include the identification of whole genome duplication as a predictor of poor chemotherapy response. Additionally, a highly recurrent somatic expression quantitative trait locus of the BCL6 gene was discovered, implicating regulatory mutations in cHL pathophysiology and highlighting BCL6 as both a vulnerability and therapeutic target. Consensus clustering identified two cHL subtypes distinguished by the underlying mechanisms of genetic instability, rather than by specific genetic mutations or EBV infection. The study also linked the number and clonality of neoantigens with tumour microenvironment and response to checkpoint blockade. Finally, our results suggested ctDNA analysis as a tool to distinguish ambiguous PET/CT-positive lesions persisting after treatment, aiming to reduce unnecessary medical interventions.

• Rapid identification of somatic genome rearrangements as personalized biomarkers for blood-based cancer monitoring

  Increasing evidence shows the value of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) to detect cancer and monitor its progression. Somatic genomic structural variations (SVs) are promising personalized biomarkers for sensitive and specific detection of ctDNA in liquid biopsies. However, accurate, affordable, and fast identification of such SV biomarkers is challenging, which hinders routine use in the clinic. Here, we demonstrate a novel approach - termed SHARC - for rapid discovery of somatic SV breakpoints as personalized tumour biomarkers. SHARC combines low-coverage cancer genome sketching by using Oxford Nanopore portable sequencing with a random forest classification and a dedicated filtering pipeline to enrich for somatic SVs. Our method leverages the real-time and long-read capabilities of Nanopore sequencing to identify somatic SV breakpoints at nucleotide resolution from a tumour biopsy within two days. We applied SHARC to tumour samples of high-grade ovarian and prostate cancer and validated on average 10 somatic SVs per sample with the use of PCR mini-amplicons. Finally, we demonstrate that these somatic SV biomarkers can be used to detect tumour presence from liquid biopsies in a quantitative manner and we retrospectively monitored treatment response in patients with prostate cancer, demonstrating its potential benefit for clinical practice.

• Genome-wide cell-free DNA termini in patients with cancer

  The structure, fragmentation pattern, length and terminal sequence of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is under the influence of nucleases present in the blood. We hypothesized that differences in the diversity of bases at the end of cfDNA fragments can be leveraged on a genome-wide scale to enhance the sensitivity for detecting the presence of tumor signals in plasma. We surveyed the cfDNA termini in 72 plasma samples from 319 patients with 18 different cancer types using low-coverage whole genome sequencing. The fragment-end sequence and diversity were altered in all cancer types in comparison to 76 healthy controls. We converted the fragment end sequences into a quantitative metric and observed that this correlates with circulating tumor DNA tumor fraction (R = 0.58, p < 0.001, Spearman). Using these metrics, we were able to classify cancer samples from control at a low tumor content (AUROC of 91% at 1% tumor fraction) and shallow sequencing coverage (mean AUROC = 0.99 at >1M fragments). Combining fragment-end sequences and diversity using machine learning, we classified cancer from healthy controls (mean AUROC = 0.99, SD = 0.01). Using unsupervised clustering we showed that early-stage lung cancer can be classified from control or later stages based on fragment-end sequences. We observed that fragment-end sequences can be used for prognostication (hazard ratio: 0.49) and residual disease detection inresectable esophageal adenocarcinoma patients, moving fragmentomics toward a greater clinical implementation.

• Whole genome and transcriptome analysis of a sporadic and recurring parathyroid carcinoma

  Parathyroid carcinoma is an extremely rare endocrine malignancy with an estimated incidence of less than 1 per million population. Excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone, extremely high serum calcium level and the deleterious effects of hypercalcemia are the clinical manifestations of the disease. Up to 60% of patients develop multiple disease recurrences and although long-term survival is possible with palliative surgery, permanent remission is rarely achieved. Molecular drivers of sporadic parathyroid carcinoma have remained largely unknown. Previous studies, mostly based on familial cases of the disease, suggested a potential role for the tumor suppressor MEN1 and proto-oncogene RET in benign parathyroid tumorigenesis while the tumor suppressor HRPT2 and proto-oncogene CCND1 may also act as drivers in parathyroid cancer. Here, we report the complete genomic analysis of a sporadic and recurring parathyroid carcinoma. Mutational landscapes of the primary and recurrent tumor specimens were analyzed using high throughput sequencing technologies. Such molecular profiling allowed for identification of somatic mutations never previously identified in this malignancy. These included single nucleotide point mutations in well characterized cancer genes such as mTOR, MLL2, CDKN2C and PIK3CA. Comparison of acquired mutations in patient-matched primary and recurrent tumors revealed loss of PIK3CA activating mutation during the evolution of the tumor from the primary to the recurrence. Structural variations leading to gene fusions and regions of copy loss and gain were identified at a single-base resolution. Loss of short arm of chromosome 1 along with somatic mis-sense and truncating mutations in CDKN2C and THRAP3, respectively, provide new evidence for the potential role of these genes as tumor suppressors in parathyroid cancer. The key somatic mutations indentified in this study can serve as novel diagnostic markers as well as therapeutic targets.

• The characterization of gene expression pattern of anticancer agent-resistant cancer stem cells using RNA sequencing analysis.

  Slow cycling cancer stem cells persist and contribute to tumor regrowth after chemotherapy.To investigate this mechanism, we developed stemness- and cell cycle-visualized colon cancer organoids from patient tissues, and perfomed comparative transcriptome analysis using sorted rapid cycling stem cells (LGR5+p27-) and slow cycling stem cells (LGR5+p27+). In addition, we analyzed the changes in the gene expression patterns in the slow cycling stem cells and all of tumor cells after chemotherapy (camptothecin) treatment. Gene ontology analysis and gene set enrichment analysis using these transcriptome data revealed cell adhesion signal and YAP siganling pathway were important to maintain the dormancy and resume propagation after chemotherapy. In each experiments, total RNA was extracted from organoids and sequenced with HiSeq X Ten (Illumina).

• The mutational landscape of human somatic and germline cells

  During the course of a lifetime normal human cells accumulate mutations. Here, using multiple samples from the same individuals we compared the mutational landscape in 29 anatomical structures from soma and the germline. Two ubiquitous mutational signatures, SBS1 and SBS5/40, accounted for the majority of acquired mutations in most cell types but their absolute and relative contributions varied substantially. SBS18, potentially reflecting oxidative damage, and several additional signatures attributed to exogenous and endogenous exposures contributed mutations to subsets of cell types. The mutation rate was lowest in spermatogonia, the stem cell from which sperm are generated and from which most genetic variation in the human population is thought to originate. This was due to low rates of ubiquitous mutation processes and may be partially attributable to a low cell division rate of basal spermatogonia. The results provide important insights into how mutational processes affect the soma and germline.

• Tumor Evolution Analysis Uncovered Immune-Escape Related Mutations in Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

  More than 60% of patients with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) achieve durable remissions upon the chemoimmunotherapy with R-CHOP. However, the outcome of the relapse patients is extremely poor. To characterize the molecular features that underlie treatment resistance, we performed whole-exome sequencing (n=44) and deep targeted sequencing (n=27) of 44 diagnosis-relapse DLBCL pairs. We found that the overall landscape of genetic alterations was concordant between diagnosis and relapse DLBCL. By a deep comparison of the longitudinal sequencings, we identified relapse-enriched mutations that involved in evasion of immune surveillance (CD58, TNFRSF14, PKD1, FAS), resistance to DNA damaging agents (ATM, TP53), and critical tumor suppressor gene (ZFHX3). Knockdown of ATM and ZFHX3 resulted in increased drug resistance in both germinal center B cell like (GCB) and activated B cell like (ABC) DLBCL cell lines in vitro, while the knockdown of TNFRSF14 and FAS conferred resistance specifically in GCB cell lines. Furthermore, we summarized two evolutionary patterns of DLBCL relapse as the “durable retention” model with stable clone structure, and the “selective sweep” model which exhibited significant clonal switch. Of note, genetic alterations leading to attenuated immune responses usually presented as trunk mutations in the “durable retention” model (7/12) while were newly acquired or expanded upon relapse in the “selective sweep” model (9/16). Overall, our study demonstrated that relapse DLBCL derives from distinct clonal evolutionary patterns, and highlighted immune escape as an important contributor of tumor relapse.

• Gut metagenome associations with extensive digital health data in a volunteer-based EstMB cohort second timepoint data

  As part of the Estonian Biobank, we established the Estonian Microbiome Cohort which includes stool, oral and plasma samples from 2,509 participants and is supplemented with multi-omic measurements, questionnaires, and regular linkages to national electronic health records. Out of the 2,509 Estonian Microbiome Project participants, a sub-cohort of over 300 individuals provided an additional stool sample after a median follow-up period of 4.4 years. All participants of the EstMB cohort gave informed consent for the data and samples to be used for scientific purposes. In the second time point, the participants were instructed to send the samples by post immediately after taking the sample and time their sample collection to avoid shipping on the weekends. In the study, by utilising retrospective medication usage data from the electronic health records and the Estonian microbiome cohort shotgun metagenomics data set (n = 2,509), we systematically evaluate the long-term effects of antibiotics and human-targeted medications on the gut microbiome. We show that past usage of medications is associated with the gut microbiome. For example, the effects of antibiotics, psycholeptics, antidepressants, proton pump inhibitors, and beta-blockers are detectable several years after use. Furthermore, by analysing a subcohort (n >300 individuals) from the second time point, we show that similar changes in the gut microbiome occur after treatment initiation or discontinuation, possibly indicating causal effects.

• Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics - Digital Health Technologies (RADx-DHT): NIH Digital Health Solutions for COVID-19: IBM Covid19 Contact Tracing and Data Exchange Tools

  The goal of this project is to develop both contact tracing and secure data exchange tools. The contact tracing solution securely combines data from a variety of sources (including manual self-report data and mobile device surveys) to enable tracing of contacts with individuals that have tested positive for COVID-19 or have been exposed to COVID-19. The data exchange solution is a secure mechanism that empowers users to control the data they share in the course of their return to work, including the ability to provide a verifiable health status claim. These tools are being used by an employer to evaluate the risk of allowing individuals to return to normal activities, and also the ability to trace user contact with individuals diagnosed with or suspected of having contracted COVID-19.

• RNA sequencing of surgically removed lung adenocarcinoma afterwards treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors

  Patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were enrolled in the training cohort to establish a prognostic signature based on the expression of tumor-specific amino acid metabolism related genes. The established signature was further investigated against an original cohort, KCC-ICI, of chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors. The signature consisting of nine genes, KYNU, PSPH, PPAT, MIF, GCLC, ACAD8, TYRP1, ALDH2, and HDC, could effectively stratify the OS in LUAD patients. The KCC-ICI cohort confirmed the predictive ability of the established signature in the clinical response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy, which correlated with the infiltration of immune cells (e.g., T lymphocytes and nature killer cells). We discovered that the high signature risk score patients showed a significantly lower concentration of plasma-free ??-aminobutyric acid (AABA).

• 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.
