CapTCR-seq: hybrid capture for T-cell receptor repertoire profiling.

ABSTRACT: Mature T-cell lymphomas consisting of an expanded clonal population of T cells that possess common rearrangements of the T-cell receptor (TCR) encoding genes can be identified and monitored using molecular methods of T-cell repertoire analysis. We have developed a hybrid-capture method that enriches DNA sequencing libraries for fragments encoding rearranged TCR genes from all 4 loci in a single reaction. We use this method to describe the TCR repertoires of 63 putative lymphoma clinical isolates, 7 peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) populations, and a collection of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Dominant Variable (V) and Joining (J) gene pair rearrangements in cancer cells were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and Sanger sequencing; clonality assessment of clinical isolates using BIOMED-2 methods showed agreement for 73% and 77% of samples at the ? and ? loci, respectively, whereas ? locus V and J allele prevalence in PBMCs were well correlated with results from commercial PCR-based DNA sequencing assays (r 2 = 0.94 with Adaptive ImmunoSEQ, 0.77-0.83 with Invivoscribe LymphoTrack TRB Assay). CapTCR-seq allows for rapid, high-throughput and flexible characterization of dominant clones within TCR repertoire that will facilitate quantitative analysis of patient samples and enhance sensitivity of tumor surveillance over time.

Project description:BackgroundGenomic changes that occur in breast cancer during the course of disease have been informed by sequencing of primary and metastatic tumor tissue. For patients with relapsed and metastatic disease, evolution of the breast cancer genome highlights the importance of using a recent sample for genomic profiling to guide clinical decision-making. Obtaining a metastatic tissue biopsy can be challenging, and analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from blood may provide a minimally invasive alternative.Patients and methodsHybrid capture-based genomic profiling was carried out on ctDNA from 254 female patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Peripheral blood samples were submitted by clinicians in the course of routine clinical care between May 2016 and March 2017. Sequencing of 62 genes was carried out to a median unique coverage depth of 7503×. Genomic alterations (GAs) in ctDNA were evaluated and compared with matched tissue samples and genomic datasets of tissue from breast cancer.ResultsAt least 1 GA was reported in 78% of samples. Frequently altered genes were TP53 (38%), ESR1 (31%) and PIK3CA (31%). Temporally matched ctDNA and tissue samples were available for 14 patients; 89% of mutations detected in tissue were also detected in ctDNA. Diverse ESR1 GAs including mutation, rearrangement and amplification, were observed. Multiple concurrent ESR1 GAs were observed in 40% of ESR1-altered cases, suggesting polyclonal origin; ESR1 compound mutations were also observed in two cases. ESR1-altered cases harbored co-occurring GAs in PIK3CA (35%), FGFR1 (16%), ERBB2 (8%), BRCA1/2 (5%), and AKT1 (4%).ConclusionsGAs relevant to relapsed/metastatic breast cancer management were identified, including diverse ESR1 GAs. Genomic profiling of ctDNA demonstrated sensitive detection of mutations found in tissue. Detection of amplifications was associated with ctDNA fraction. Genomic profiling of ctDNA may provide a complementary and possibly alternative approach to tissue-based genomic testing for patients with estrogen receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer.
