• Prostate_Cancer_Whole_Genome_Validations

  We propose to definitively characterise the somatic genetics of Prostate cancer through generation of comprehensive catalogues of somatic mutations by high coverage genome sequencing. This study will aim to validate the findings of the whole genome study by re-sequencing regions of interest using a bespoke pulldown bait.

• Whole Exome Sequencing of High grade T1 non-muscle invasive bladder cancer

  High-grade T1 (HGT1) bladder cancer (BC) is the highest risk subtype of non-muscle-invasive BC with unpredictable outcome and poorly understood risk factors. Here we performed whole exome sequencing across 61 HGT1 samples to identify genomic predictors of good outcome, recurrence or progression. This study includes somatic mutation calls and clinical data for 61 HGT1 tumors.

• SCAT_osteosarcoma_sequencing

  Agilent whole exome hybridisation capture will be performed on genomic DNA derived from 50 osteosarcoma cancers and matched normal DNA from the same patients. Three lanes of Illumina GA sequencing will be performed on the resulting 100 exome libraries and mapped to build 37 of the human reference genome to facilitate the identification of novel cancer genes

• A Study to Evaluate Denosumab in Young Patients With Primary Breast Cancer (D-Beyond)

  This is a prospective, single arm phase IIa trial in which patients with early breast cancer will receive pre-operatively two doses of denosumab 120mg subcutaneously one week apart (maximum 12 days) followed by surgery. Tumor, normal breast tissue and blood samples will be collected at baseline and at surgery. Post-operative treatment will be at the discretion of the investigator.Primary objective: to determine if a short course of RANKL inhibition with denosumab can induce a decrease in tumor proliferation rates as determined by Ki67 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in newly diagnosed, early stage breast cancer in pre-menopausal women.

• Spatial targeted gene sequencing of metastatic melanoma

  We performed deep targeted DNA sequencing for a panel of 265 cancer-related genes. This included subsampling 35 different regions of a metastatic melanoma biopsy that was treated with anti-PD-1 inhibitor. Samples with cancer cell purity greater than 80% based on pathologic assessment were used for cancer gene panel DNA sequencing. Mean sequencing coverage was 861x and paired-end reads in FASTQ format were generated by the Illumina pipeline and aligned to the reference human genome hg19 build using the Burrows-Wheeler Alignment Tool (BWA, v0.7.5) with default settings. Aligned reads were further processed using GATK with best practices for removing duplicates, indel removal and recalibration.

• Whole-genome sequencing in gastric cancer (part2)

  we analysis structural variations (SVs) and mutational signatures via whole-genome sequencing of 168 GCs. Our data demonstrates diverse models of complex SVs operative in GC, which lead to high-level amplification of oncogenes. We find varying proportion of tandem-duplications (TDs) among individuals and identify 24 TD hotspots involving well-established cancer genes such as CCND1, ERBB2 and MYC.

• The molecular landscape of homologous recombination deficient, end-stage, high grade serous ovarian cancer

  High grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is frequently characterized by homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair deficiency, and while most such tumors are sensitive to initial treatment, acquired resistance is common. We undertook a multi-omics approach to interrogating mechanisms of resistance, using multiple autopsy samples collected from 15 women with HR-deficient HGSC.

• Colon cancer targeted sequencing study contaning WBCs, primary tumor tissue and plasma samples

  In the setting of localized colon cancer (CC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring in plasma has shown potential for detecting minimal residual disease (MRD) and predicting higher risk of recurrence. With the tumor-only sequencing approach, however, germline variants may be misidentified as somatic variations, precluding the possibility of tracking in up to 11% of patients due to a lack of known somatic mutations. In this study comprising 148 prospectively recruited localized CC patients, a custom 29-gene panel was utilized to sequence both tumor tissue and matched white blood cells (WBCs) to enhance the accuracy of sequencing results. Performing targeted sequencing of paired tumor tissue and WBCs samples detected additional somatic mutations and increased the number of patients eligible for MRD tracking in plasma, although MRD detection sensitivity was not increased. Furthermore, the germline testing approach revealed the presence of pathogenic germline variants, thereby helping identify patients at elevated risk of hereditary cancer syndromes.

• Homopolymer switches mediate adaptive mutability in mismatch repair-deficient colorectal cancer

  Mismatch repair (MMR) deficient cancer evolves through the continuous erosion of coding homopolymers in target genes. Curiously, the MMR genes MSH6 and MSH3 also contain coding homopolymers and these are frequent mutational targets in MMR-deficient cancers. The impact of incremental MMR mutations on MMR-deficient colorectal cancer evolution is unknown. We show that microsatellite instability modulates DNA repair by toggling hypermutable mononucleotide homopolymer runs in MSH6 and MSH3 through stochastic frameshift switching. Spontaneous mutation and reversion modulates subclonal mutation rate, mutation bias, and clonal HLA and neoantigen diversity. Patient-derived organoids corroborate these observations and show that in the absence of immune selection MMR homopolymer sequences drift back into reading frame, suggesting a fitness cost of elevated mutation rates. Combined experimental and simulation studies demonstrate that subclonal immune selection favours incremental MMR mutations. Overall, our data demonstrate that MMR-deficient colorectal cancers fuel intratumour heterogeneity by adapting subclonal mutation rate and diversity to immune selection.

• Spatially resolved niche and tumor microenvironmental alterations in gastric cancer peritoneal metastases

  Peritoneal metastases (PM) in gastric cancer (GC) portend a poor prognosis, yet our understanding of tumor microenvironmental (TME) characteristics associated with GCPM remain limited. Here, we analyzed intrinsic genomic alterations and transcriptomic programs predictive of GCPM in a prospective cohort of 248 patients, identifying CDH1, PIGR, and ELF3 mutations as predictors. By inspecting the spatial dynamics of the TME, we find that tumor compartment infiltration of pro-tumorigenic cell types such as inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) predict peritoneal recurrence. Next, in a cross-sectional study of 205 samples from 55 patients, distinct pathways and immune compositions in GCPM relative to liver metastases highlight the TME's significance in transcoelomic metastases. Notably, several putative therapeutic targets exhibited distinct expression patterns between PTs and PMs. Our findings highlight transcriptomic variations and niche reprogramming in the GCPM peritoneal environment, revealing roles of myeloid dendritic cells, effector memory CD8+ T cells, and CAFs in metastatic progression.
