• A Pilot Study of Rapid Autopsy and Procurement of Tissue in Thoracic Malignancy Cancer Patients to Investigate Tumor Heterogeneity

  Integrated proteo-genomics studies to characterize tumor heterogeneity of metastatic lung adenocarcinoma and thymic carcinoma are lacking. We carried out whole exome sequencing, RNA sequencing, copy number estimation and mass spectrometry-based proteomics of 40 tumors from five rapid/warm autopsy patients. We found highly variable mutational heterogeneity that was largely driven by APOBEC-mutagenesis with the expression of APOBEC3B (Gene ID: 9582) and APOBEC3A_B (Gene ID: 100913187) due to underlying APOBEC3 region germline variants as the likely mediating mechanism. APOBEC3A_B expression was associated with increased immune tumor microenvironment and CD274 (Gene ID: 29126) expression while smoking was associated with increased APOBEC-mutagenesis in TP53 (Gene ID: 7157) mutant tumors with high APOBEC3B expression. Heterogeneity at the level of the transcriptome and proteome occurred in association with copy number heterogeneity, not APOBEC-induced mutational heterogeneity. Arm and focal copy number alterations (CNAs) occurred as an evolutionarily late event in a subset of patients, with corresponding changes in the transcriptome and proteome, implicating CNAs as a driving force of heterogeneity in the evolution of metastatic disease.

• Immunogenomics of colorectal cancer response to immune checkpoint blockade

  Molecular and cellular determinants of response to immune checkpoint inhibitors are mostly unknown. Here we use whole exome, RNA and T cell receptor sequencing, imaging mass cytometry, immunohistochemistry and PD1-PDL1 interaction detection to profile 543 regions from 16 colorectal cancers (CRCs) subsequently treated with Pembrolizumab or Nivolumab. Independent of treatment response, CRCs express low levels of PD1 and PDL1 proteins and form less PD1-PDL1 complex than other cancers. Non hypermutated CRCs have no benefit from treatment, show WNT activation and low T cell infiltrates. Among hypermutated CRCs, those with durable benefit have clonal immunogenic alterations, clonally expanded T cells and potential for immune escape through dysfunctional antigen presentation. Responsive tumours are enriched in PD1-expressing cytotoxic and proliferating CD8 T cells and PDL1-expressing antigen presenting macrophages, which form high-density clusters of interacting cells. Our study shows that immune checkpoint inhibitors are most effective in highly infiltrated CRCs where they may release the interactions between macrophages and CD8 T cells thus promoting their priming and expansion in intra-tumour niches.

• Palindromic Amplification of The ERBB2 Oncogene in HER2-Positive Breast Cancer

  DNA Inverted Repeats as an At-risk Motif for Palindromic Gene Amplificatio defines oncogene amplification that is configured as a series of inverted duplications (palindromic gene amplification). There are several, recurrently amplified oncogenes throughout the human genome. However, it remains unclear whether this recurrent amplification is solely a manifestation of increased fitness resulting from random amplification mechanisms, or if genomic locus-specific amplification mechanism plays a role. In this study, we show that the ERBB2 oncogene at 17q12 is susceptible to palindromic gene amplification in HER2-positive breast tumors. We investigated eight tumors in this study, of which five tumors were HER2-positive, and three tumors were HER2-negative. HER2-status was determined by clinical FISH tests. We applied three genomic approaches to investigate the amplification mechanism: (1) copy number analysis by array-CGH on the Affymetrix SNP6.0 platform (8 files), (2) sequencing of DNA libraries enriched with tumor-derived palindromic DNA (Genome-wide Analysis of Palindrome Formation, GAPF-seq) (8 files) and (3) unbiased whole genome sequencing (WGS) (1 file). These molecular data is made available in the dbGaP. Genomic studies using tumor DNA was approved under the Internal Institutional Review Board at the Cleveland Clinic (IRB07-136: EXEMPT: Chromosome Breakage and DNA Palindrome Formation). Specimens were obtained and methods were carried out under the auspices of IRB 7881 (Evaluation of Genetic and Molecular Markers in Patients with Breast Cancer). All patients consented to allow their cancer specimens to be used by researchers in an anonymized fashion. The consent form indicates that publication will take place without identifiers to protect the identity of any specific individual. We observed significant and enrichment of palindromic DNA within amplified ERBB2 genomic segments in four out of five HER2-positive tumors. None of three HER2-negative tumors showed such enrichment. Palindromic DNA was particularly enriched at amplification peaks and boundaries between amplified and normal copy-number regions. Thus, palindromic gene amplification shaped the amplified ERBB2 locus. The moderate enrichment of palindromic DNA throughout the amplified segments leads us to propose that the ERBB2 locus is amplified through a mechanism that repeatedly generates palindromic DNA, such as Breakage-Fusion-Bridge cycles. Our results reveal a potential interaction between local genomic environments and gene amplification mechanisms. This study is published under the title "Palindromic amplification of the ERBB2 oncogene in primary HER2-positive breast tumors" (PMID:28211519).

• Phase I Clinical Trial Describing the Pharmacogenomics of Aspirin

  The study protocol for both cohorts has been previously described (Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis 2012:1-12). HV1 cohort: Briefly 50 healthy volunteers were exposed to two weeks of 325mg/day aspirin after which whole blood RNA was collected in PAXgene tubes and profiled by microarray before and after aspirin exposure. The pre-aspirin samples were profiled on the U133A 2.0 array and the post-aspirin samples were profiled on the U1333plus 2.0 array. HV2 cohort: Briefly 53 healthy volunteers were exposed to four weeks of 325mg/day aspirin after which whole blood RNA was collected in PAXgene tubes and profiled by U133plus 2.0 array before and after aspirin exposure.

• Metatranscriptomic Sequencing of Pulmonary Fluid in Immunocompromised Children

  Despite improved diagnostics, pulmonary pathogens in immunocompromised children frequently evade detection, leading to significant mortality. In version 1.0 of this study, we performed RNA-based next generation sequencing (mNGS) on 41 lower respiratory samples collected from 34 children. We identified a rich cross-domain pulmonary microbiome containing bacteria, fungi, RNA viruses, and DNA viruses in each patient. Potentially pathogenic bacteria were ubiquitous among samples but could be distinguished as possible causes of disease by parsing for outlier organisms. Potential pathogens were detected in half of samples previously negative by clinical diagnostics. In version 2.0, we included an addition 278 samples from 229 pediatric stem cell transplant patients with pulmonary disease.

• Impact of cryopreservation on transcriptome analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells

  To investigate the effect of cryopreservation on PBMCs, we conducted an experiment using samples from three healthy donors under four conditions: fresh PBMCs, PBMCs subjected to a single freeze–thaw cycle, PBMCs refrozen in freezing mix, and PBMCs refrozen in TRIzol. This resulted in a total of 12 samples (three replicates per condition). RNA was extracted from all PBMC samples using the Qiagen miRNeasy Mini Kit, followed by polyA RNA sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. Blood was collected from one male and two female adult donors. Sequencing yielded high-quality data, with an average of 27.8 million reads per sample and over 94% of bases exceeding a Q30 quality score.
