Remarkable similarities of chromosomal rearrangements between primary human breast cancers and matched distant metastases as revealed by whole-genome sequencing.

ABSTRACT: To better understand and characterize chromosomal structural variation during breast cancer progression, we enumerated chromosomal rearrangements for 11 patients by performing low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of 11 primary breast tumors and their 13 matched distant metastases. The tumor genomes harbored a median of 85 (range 18-404) rearrangements per tumor, with a median of 82 (26-310) in primaries compared to 87 (18-404) in distant metastases. Concordance between paired tumors from the same patient was high with a median of 89% of rearrangements shared (range 61-100%), whereas little overlap was found when comparing all possible pairings of tumors from different patients (median 3%). The tumors exhibited diverse genomic patterns of rearrangements: some carried events distributed throughout the genome while others had events mostly within densely clustered chromothripsis-like foci at a few chromosomal locations. Irrespectively, the patterns were highly conserved between the primary tumor and metastases from the same patient. Rearrangements occurred more frequently in genic areas than expected by chance and among the genes affected there was significant enrichment for cancer-associated genes including disruption of TP53, RB1, PTEN, and ESR1, likely contributing to tumor development. Our findings are most consistent with chromosomal rearrangements being early events in breast cancer progression that remain stable during the development from primary tumor to distant metastasis.

Intratumoral heterogeneity of colorectal cancers with distant metastases

Project description:Copy number analyses of regionally separated biopsies from primary and metastatic lesions of five colorectal cancers A total of 35 intratumoral biopsies were obtained from primary and metastatic lesions of five colorectal cancers. Board-certified pathologists reviewed the hematoxylin&eosin stained sections and identified tumor-rich regions (> 80% purity) to ensure minimal contamination of normal tissues. We selected two to six different areas for biopsy that were at least 5mm apart in primary and distant metastatic lesions from a same patient. Copy number profiling was performed using Agilent 180K platform according to the manufacturer's protocol. The genomic DNA obtained from the adjacent normal tissues were used as reference genomic DNA for the tumor DNA of the corresponding patients.

Proteomic changes between primary tumors and matched distant metastases of lung adenocarcinomas

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and lung adenocarcinoma is the most common form of lung cancer. Genomic studies of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) have advanced our understanding of the disease's biology and accelerated targeted therapy. However, the proteomic characteristics of LUAD are still insufficiently understood. Prognosis for lung cancer patients remains poor and is strongly related to the stage of disease at the time of diagnosis. Therefore, our study focuses on metastasis formation in LUAD. We performed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) on a total of 40 FFPE samples and compared proteomic profiles of primary tumors to those of matched distant metastases. Using differential expression analysis and unsupervised clustering we identified candidate proteins playing a role in metastatic spread. Selected proteins were validated by immunoblotting. Our findings give a better understanding of tumor progression and metastasis formation in LUAD and might help to develop biomarker specific therapy.

Genetic heterogeneity and evolutionary history of high-grade ovarian carcinoma and matched distant metastases.

Project description:BackgroundHigh-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most frequent type of ovarian carcinoma, associated with poor clinical outcome and metastatic disease. Although metastatic processes are becoming more understandable, the genomic landscape and metastatic progression in HGSOC has not been elucidated.MethodsMulti-region whole-exome sequencing was performed on HGSOC primary tumours and their metastases (n = 33 tumour regions) from six patients. The resulting somatic variants were analysed to delineate tumour evolution and metastatic dissemination, and to compare the repertoire of events between primary HGSOC and metastasis.ResultsAll cases presented branching evolution patterns in primary HGSOC, with three cases further showing parallel evolution in which different mutations on separate branches of a phylogenetic tree converge on the same gene. Furthermore, linear metastatic progression was observed in 67% of cases with late dissemination, in which the metastatic tumour mostly acquires the same mutational process active in primary tumour, and parallel metastatic progression, with early dissemination in the remaining 33.3% of cases. Metastatic-specific SNVs were further confirmed as late dissemination events. We also found the involvement of metastatic-specific driver events in the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and identified potential clinically actionable events in individual patients of the metastatic HGSOC cohort.ConclusionsThis study provides deeper insights into clonal evolution and mutational processes that can pave the way to new therapeutic targets.

Differential Proteome Analysis of Human Neuroblastoma Xenograft Primary Tumors and Matched Spontaneous Distant Metastases.

Project description:Metastasis formation is the major cause for cancer-related deaths and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study we describe spontaneous metastasis xenograft mouse models of human neuroblastoma used for unbiased identification of metastasis-related proteins by applying an infrared laser (IR) for sampling primary tumor and metastatic tissues, followed by mass spectrometric proteome analysis. IR aerosol samples were obtained from ovarian and liver metastases, which were indicated by bioluminescence imaging (BLI), and matched subcutaneous primary tumors. Corresponding histology proved the human origin of metastatic lesions. Ovarian metastases were commonly larger than liver metastases indicating differential outgrowth capacities. Among ~1,900 proteins identified at each of the three sites, 55 proteins were differentially regulated in ovarian metastases while 312 proteins were regulated in liver metastases. There was an overlap of 21 and 7 proteins up- and down-regulated at both metastatic sites, respectively, most of which were so far not related to metastasis such as LYPLA2, EIF4B, DPY30, LGALS7, PRPH, and NEFM. Moreover, we established in vitro sublines from primary tumor and metastases and demonstrate differences in cellular protrusions, migratory/invasive potential and glycosylation. Summarized, this work identified several novel putative drivers of metastasis formation that are tempting candidates for future functional studies.

Inverted DNA repeats channel repair of distant double-strand breaks into chromatid fusions and chromosomal rearrangements.

Project description:Inverted DNA repeats are known to cause genomic instabilities. Here we demonstrate that double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) introduced a large distance from inverted repeats in the yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) chromosome lead to a burst of genomic instability. Inverted repeats located as far as 21 kb from each other caused chromosome rearrangements in response to a single DSB. We demonstrate that the DSB initiates a pairing interaction between inverted repeats, resulting in the formation of large dicentric inverted dimers. Furthermore, we observed that propagation of cells containing inverted dimers led to gross chromosomal rearrangements, including translocations, truncations, and amplifications. Finally, our data suggest that break-induced replication is responsible for the formation of translocations resulting from anaphase breakage of inverted dimers. We propose a model explaining the formation of inverted dicentric dimers by intermolecular single-strand annealing (SSA) between inverted DNA repeats. According to this model, anaphase breakage of inverted dicentric dimers leads to gross chromosomal rearrangements (GCR). This "SSA-GCR" pathway is likely to be important in the repair of isochromatid breaks resulting from collapsed replication forks, certain types of radiation, or telomere aberrations that mimic isochromatid breaks.

Chromosomal Mapping of Tandem Repeats Revealed Massive Chromosomal Rearrangements and Insights Into <i>Senna tora</i> Dysploidy.

Project description:Tandem repeats can occupy a large portion of plant genomes and can either cause or result from chromosomal rearrangements, which are important drivers of dysploidy-mediated karyotype evolution and speciation. To understand the contribution of tandem repeats in shaping the extant Senna tora dysploid karyotype, we analyzed the composition and abundance of tandem repeats in the S. tora genome and compared the chromosomal distribution of these repeats between S. tora and a closely related euploid, Senna occidentalis. Using a read clustering algorithm, we identified the major S. tora tandem repeats and visualized their chromosomal distribution by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We identified eight independent repeats covering ~85 Mb or ~12% of the S. tora genome. The unit lengths and copy numbers had ranges of 7-5,833 bp and 325-2.89 × 106, respectively. Three short duplicated sequences were found in the 45S rDNA intergenic spacer, one of which was also detected at an extra-NOR locus. The canonical plant telomeric repeat (TTTAGGG)n was also detected as very intense signals in numerous pericentromeric and interstitial loci. StoTR05_180, which showed subtelomeric distribution in Senna occidentalis, was predominantly pericentromeric in S. tora. The unusual chromosomal distribution of tandem repeats in S. tora not only enabled easy identification of individual chromosomes but also revealed the massive chromosomal rearrangements that have likely played important roles in shaping its dysploid karyotype.

Quantification of Somatic Chromosomal Rearrangements in Circulating Cell-Free DNA from Ovarian Cancers.

Project description:Recently, the use of a liquid biopsy has shown promise in monitoring tumor burden. While point mutations have been extensively studied, chromosomal rearrangements have demonstrated greater tumor specificity. Such rearrangements can be identified in the tumor and subsequently detected in the plasma of patients using quantitative PCR (qPCR). In this study we used a whole-genome mate-pair protocol to characterize a landscape of genomic rearrangements in the primary tumors of ten ovarian cancer patients. Individualized tumor-specific primer panels of aberrant chromosomal junctions were identified for each case and detected by qPCR within the cell-free DNA. Selected chromosomal junctions were detected in pre-surgically drawn blood in eight of the ten patients. Of these eight, three demonstrated the continued presence of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) post-surgery, consistent with their documented presence of disease, and in five ctDNA was undetectable in the post-surgical blood collection, consistent with their lack of detectable disease. The ctDNA fraction was calculated using a novel algorithm designed for the unique challenges of quantifying ctDNA using qPCR to allow observations of real-time tumor dynamics. In summary, a panel of individualized junctions derived from tumor DNA could be an effective way to monitor cancer patients for relapse and therapeutic efficacy using cfDNA.

Whole-chromosome paints in maize reveal rearrangements, nuclear domains, and chromosomal relationships.

Project description:Whole-chromosome painting probes were developed for each of the 10 chromosomes of maize by producing amplifiable libraries of unique sequences of oligonucleotides that can generate labeled probes through transcription reactions. These paints allow identification of individual homologous chromosomes for many applications as demonstrated in somatic root tip metaphase cells, in the pachytene stage of meiosis, and in interphase nuclei. Several chromosomal aberrations were examined as proof of concept for study of various rearrangements using probes that cover the entire chromosome and that label diverse varieties. The relationship of the supernumerary B chromosome and the normal chromosomes was examined with the finding that there is no detectable homology between any of the normal A chromosomes and the B chromosome. Combined with other chromosome-labeling techniques, a complete set of whole-chromosome oligonucleotide paints lays the foundation for future studies of the structure, organization, and evolution of genomes.
