White blood cell and cell-free DNA analyses for detection of residual disease in gastric cancer

ABSTRACT: Liquid biopsies are providing new opportunities for detection of residual disease in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) after surgery but may be confounded through identification of alterations arising from clonal hematopoiesis. Here, we identify circulating tumor-derived DNA alterations (ctDNA) through ultrasensitive targeted sequencing analyses of matched cfDNA and white blood cells from the same patient. We apply this approach to analyze samples from patients in the CRITICS trial, a phase III randomized controlled study of perioperative chemotherapy in patients with operable gastric cancer. After filtering alterations derived from matched white-blood cells, the presence of ctDNA predicts recurrence when analyzed within nine weeks after preoperative treatment and after surgery in patients eligible for multimodal treatment. These analyses provide a facile method for distinguishing ctDNA from other cfDNA alterations and highlight the utility of ctDNA as a predictive biomarker of patient outcome to perioperative cancer therapy and surgical resection in patients with gastric cancer.

Longitudinal analysis of personal cfDNA methylome patterns in metastatic prostate cancer [plasma]

Project description:Disease progression and therapeutic resistance are hallmarks of advanced stage prostate cancer (PCa), which remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality around the world. Longitudinal studies, coupled with the use of liquid biopsies, offer a potentially new and minimally invasive platform to study the dynamics of tumour progression. Our study aimed to investigate the dynamics of personal methylomic profiles of metastatic PCa (mPCa) patients, during disease progression and therapy administration. 52 plasma samples from 9 patients with mPCa were collected, longitudinally, over 13-21 months. After cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolation, DNA methylation was profiled using the Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip and analysed using the minfi software. The top 5% most variable probes across time, within each individual, were utilised to study dynamic methylation patterns during disease progression and therapeutic response. Statistical testing was carried out to identify and validate ctDNA differentially methylated genes (DMGs). Personal cfDNA global methylation patterns were temporally stable throughout disease course. A proportion of analysed CpG sites presented a dynamic temporal pattern that was consistent with clinical events, such as therapy administration, and were prominently associated with immune response pathways. Study of ctDNA identified >2,000 DMGs with dynamic methylation patterns. We concluded that longitudinal assessment of cfDNA methylation in mPCa patients unveiled dynamic patterns associated with the occurrence of specific clinical events, thus highlighting the potential of using liquid biopsies to study PCa progression.

Reliable tumor detection using cerebrospinal fluid cell-free DNA methylomes in pediatric medulloblastoma

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is an embryonal tumor of the cerebellum and a highly malignant childhood brain tumor. Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with brain tumors faithfully represent genomic alterations of brain tumors. Distinct epigenetic signatures among subgroups of MB allow us to detect epigenetic alterations in CSF to aid classify and guide therapy of MB tumors. Here, we evaluate DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation of ctDNA derived from small amount of CSF (200 µL) and matched tumor DNA from 3 MB patients. We find highly concordance of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation between CSF ctDNA and tumor DNA, especially in CpG islands. Importantly, CSF ctDNA can mostly recapitulate the dynamic changes of DNA methylation and hydroxymehtylation in tumor species compared to healthy cerebellums. Those MB tumor signature CpGs’ DNA methylation status are recovered in CSF ctDNA can clearly distinguish MB subgroups by utilizing public large cohort data. We further identified potential diagnostic and prognostic DNA methylation markers in CSF ctDNA. Our results show that CSF ctNDA methylation and hydroxymethylation can be a minimal invasive method to assess epigenetic alterations of MB, which is complementary to current diagnoses of MB tumors.

FGF19 as a Surgical Factor Contributing to the Metabolic Effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery

Project description:Gastric bypass surgery has proven to be the most effective treatment in controlling hyperglycemia in severely obese patients with diabetes. Here we show that FGF19, a gut hormone, is rapidly induced by bypass surgery in rodents and humans. Administration of FGF19 achieves remission of diabetes through mechanisms beyond weight loss in animal models of diabetes, supporting a role of FGF19 as part of hormonal changes that influence metabolism following surgery. Through an unbiased phenotypic screen in diabetic mice, we identified selective, safe and effective FGF19 analogues. Unexpectedly, FGF19 analogue failed to correct hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. In contrast, administration of FGF19 analogue resulted in rapid, robust and sustained improvement in liver fat content and histology in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, faithfully replicating effect of the surgery. Thus, our work identifies a strategy of replacing gastric bypass surgery by equally effective, but less invasive, treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression affected by gastric bypass surgery in rats.

Genome-wide plasma cell-free DNA methylation profiling in lung cancer patients using MeDIP-seq

Project description:As a non-invasive blood testing, the detection of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) methylation in plasma is raising increasing interest due to its diagnostic and biology applications. Although extensively used in cfDNA methylation analysis, bisulfite sequencing is less cost-effective. Through enriching methylated cfDNA fragments with MeDIP followed by deep sequencing, we aimed to characterize cfDNA methylome in cancer patients. In this study, we investigated the cfDNA methylation patterns in lung cancer patients by MeDIP-seq. MEDIPS package was used for the identification of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) between patients and normal ones. Overall, we identified 330 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in gene promoter regions, 33 hypermethylation and 297 hypomethylation respectively, by comparing lung cancer patients and healthy individuals as controls. The 33 hypermethylation regions represent 32 genes. Some of the genes had been previously reported to be associated with lung cancers, such as GAS7, AQP10, HLF, CHRNA9 and HOPX. Taken together, our study provided an alternative method of cfDNA methylation analysis in lung cancer patients with potential clinical applications.

Genome-scale DNA methylation analysis of tissue-of-origin of plasma cell-free DNA

Project description:Current methods for mapping the tissue-of-origin of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) are still insufficient. Here, we have extended a previously developed methylated CpG tandems amplification and sequencing (MCTA-Seq) method for quantitative analysis of tissue-of-origin of plasma cfDNA. By comparing paired plasma cfDNA and white blood cell genomic DNA, we have demonstrated that the liver is the major non-hematopoietic tissue contributing to plasma cfDNA in healthy adults, accounting for approximately 2%. Furthermore, we have detected changes in liver-derived DNA in patients with benign liver diseases and increases in pancreas-derived DNA in acute pancreatitis patients. Interestingly, our results suggest that DNA derived from pathological tissues makes a minor contribution to the increased cfDNA in many clinical cases. Finally, we have identified a tissue-specific hypermethylated cfDNA marker located in the intragenic regions of tissue-specifichighlyexpressed genes. This study represents valuable progress in the field of cfDNA and offers promise for clinical research and medical diagnostics using the described method.

Circulating tumor DNA for monitoring classic Hodgkin lymphoma patients: correlation with FDG-PET/CT

Project description:Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker of disease activity in classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) patients are still not well-defined. By profiling primary tumors and ctDNA, we identified common variants between primary tumors and longitudinal plasma samples in most of the cases, confirming high PBatial and temporal heterogeneity. Though ctDNA analyses mirrored HRS cell genetics overall, the prevalence of variants shows that none of them can be used as a single biomarker. Conversely, the estimation of hGE/mL, based in total ctDNA quantification, reflects disease activity and is almost perfectly correlated with standard parameters such as PET/CT that are associated with refractoriness.

Cell-free DNA methylation markers in diagnosis and prognosis of common cancers (COAD)

Project description:To identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, we compared methylation profiles of COAD tissues and normal blood at 485,000 CpG markers and identified a marker panel differently methylated in COAD. We developed diagnostic and prognostic prediction models with the selected panel and compared their efficacy in ctDNA to current available approaches. Our data indicate that cfDNA methylation patterns provide reliable biomarkers in the diagnosis, surveillance, and prognosis of COAD.
