Study Description
We have sequenced the genomes of 110 small cell lung cancers (SCLC), one of the deadliest human cancers. We found bi-allelic inactivation of TP53 and RB1 in nearly all the tumors analyzed, sometimes by complex genomic rearrangements. Two tumors with wild-type RB1 had evidence of chromothripsis leading to overexpression of Cyclin D1, revealing an alternative mechanism of Rb1 deregulation. Thus, loss of the tumor suppressors TP53 and RB1 is obligatory in SCLC. We further discovered somatic genomic rearrangements of TP73 that create an oncogenic version of this gene, TP73Δex2/3. In few cases, SCLC tumors exhibited kinase gene mutations, providing a possible therapeutic opportunity for individual patients. Finally, we observed inactivating mutations in NOTCH family genes in 25% of human SCLC. Accordingly, activation of Notch signaling in a pre-clinical SCLC mouse model dramatically reduced the number of tumors and extended the survival of the mutant mice. Furthermore, neuroendocrine gene expression was abrogated by Notch activity in SCLC cells. This first comprehensive study of somatic ... (Show More)

RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed with RNA extracted from fresh-frozen
human tumor tissue samples. cDNA libraries were prepared from poly-A selected
RNA applying the Illumina TruSeq protocol for mRNA. The libraries were then
sequenced with a 2 x 100bp paired-end protocol to a minimum mean coverage of 30x
of the annotated transcriptome.

Whole genome sequencing was performed with DNA extracted from fresh-frozen
tumor and normal material. Short insert DNA libraries were prepared with the TruSeq
DNA PCRfree sample preparation kit (Illumina) for paired-end sequencing at a
minimum read length of 2x100bp. Human DNA libraries were sequenced to an
average coverage of minimum 30x for both tumor and matched normal. Murine DNA
libraries of tumor and matched normal were both sequenced to a coverage of 25x.
