Nanopore and Illumina sequencing of human glioblastomas

ABSTRACT: Liquid biopsy analysis refers to methods designed to detect tumour-specific material (e.g., circulating tumour cells or tumour DNA) in body fluids, such as urine or blood samples. A widely-used liquid biopsy approach consists of genotyping the circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) through sequencing of plasma/serum DNA. Although useful in the context of metastatic disease (where the concentration of ctDNA is high), current liquid biopsy technologies show limited sensitivity of detection for the early detection of cancer, and low specificity, as cancer-related mutations accumulate in healthy tissues as part of the ageing process, thus making it difficult to distinguish these from tumour mutations, and because sequencing errors and true mutations show overlapping profiles. Therefore, developing liquid biopsy protocols with increased sensitivity and specificity represents an urgent clinical need. Here we harness extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) elements, which are circular DNA structures physically separated from the chromosomes of up to several Mbp long pervasive in human cancers, for liquid biopsy analysis. In this pilot study we will focus on the analysis of glioblastomas, because there is strong evidence for the presence of eccDNA in these tumour types, and because developing liquid biopsy approaches for brain tumours to reduce the invasiveness of brain tumour biopsies remains an unmet clinical need.

Clinical Application of an Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the most preventable cancers when precancerous lesions are detected at an early stage. Current screening methods for CRC require bowel prep or stool-based testing that are inconvenient, resulting in low compliance. Stool based tests have limited sensitivity for the detection of precancerous lesions. The CMx platform has been showed to be able to the detection of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in high sensitivity and specificity. In published studies, circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) are captured and quantified in advanced-stages of colorectal cancer. In order to detect early and pre-cancer circulating tumor cells, we have developed an Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform that improves the detection of CTCs in early cancer stages. Therefore, this study goals are: 1) to establish a standard detection process utilizing the Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform. 2) Parallel comparison of laboratory manual operation and Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform. 3) Verify the feasibility of use of an Automated Liquid Biopsy Platform in the clinical setting.

Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Signalling Mediates Etoposide Resistance in Progressing Small Cell Lung Cancer

Project description:We exploited six paired pre-treatment and post-chemotherapy circulating tumour cell patient-derived explant (CDX) models from donors with extensive stage SCLC to investigate changes at disease progression after chemotherapy. WES data from the patient germ line and from the biopsy of the solid tumour is reported in this submission and RNASeq data from these models is reported previously (E-MTAB-8465 - RNA of Small Cell Lung Cancer Circulating Tumour Cells Derived Explants). Both chemo naive and progression models were taken from patients and their drug sensitivity tested within the mouse models. Blood samples were taken from patients, and RosetteSep CTC Enrichment was used to implant these cells into mice. Tumours were allowed to grow, then extracted and re-implanted into second and third generations of mice, before finally being subjected to molecular profiling.

TAp73 is a marker of glutamine addiction in medulloblastoma

Project description:Metabolically-targeted therapies hold the promise of offering an effective and less toxic treatment for tumours including medulloblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumour of childhood. Current treatment relies on the sensitivity of these tumours to DNA damage that was discovered more than 50 years ago. Finding new tumour-specific susceptibilities to complement sensitivity to DNA damage is key to developing new more effective adjuvant therapies. The specific metabolic program of tumours is an attractive vulnerability, as restriction diet are low cost and easy to implement. Here, we present compelling pre-clinical evidence that glutamine restriction diet can be used as an adjuvant treatment for p73-expressing medulloblastoma.

Identification of urinary exosomal non-coding RNAs biomarkers for high-grade prostate cancer using RNA-seq analysis

Project description:Prostate cancer is one of the major cancers that seriously affect men's health. The low specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for prostate cancer has resulted in the overdiagnosis and subsequent overtreatment of clinically indolent tumors. There is an urgent need for noninvasive and easy diagnostic assays to help evaluate whether a prostate biopsy is warranted. Many non-coding RNAs (eg, microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs) have been reported to play key roles in prostate cancer progression, showing great potential to impact cancer diagnostics and therapies. Remarkably, exosomes secreted by cells into body fluids contain molecules that reflect the disease information, and urinary exosomes could be used to detect prostate cancer as a new type of liquid biopsies. Non-coding RNAs are enriched and stable in exosomes. We performed high-throughput sequencing on urine-derived exosomes of 11 patients with high-grade (Gleason score 7 or greater) prostate cancer and 11 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia to screen differentially expressed non-coding RNAs.

Tissue- and plasma-derived exosomal protein biomarkers define multiple human cancers

Project description:There is an unmet clinical need for improved tissue and liquid biopsy tools for cancer detection. We investigated the proteomic profile of exosomes in 426 human samples from tissue explants (TE), plasma and other bodily fluids. Among traditional exosome markers, CD9, HSPA8, ALIX, HSP90AB1 represent pan-exosomes/exomeres. Moreover, we identified novel pan-exosome/exomere markers (e.g., ACTB, MSN, RAP1B). As proof of principle that exosomes are ideal diagnostic tools, we analyzed the proteome of TE exosomes (n=151) or plasma-derived exosomes (n=120). Comparison of TE exosomes identified proteins (e.g., VCAN, TNC, THBS2) that distinguish tumors from normal tissues with 90% sensitivity/94% specificity. Machinelearning classification of plasma-derived exosomes revealed 95% sensitivity/90% specificity in identifying cancer-associated exosomes. Finally, we defined a panel of tumor-type specific exosomal proteins in TE and plasma, which may help classify tumors of unknown primary origin. Overall, exosomal proteins can serve as reliable biomarkers for cancer detection and for determining cancer type

HER2 expression identifies dynamic functional states within circulating breast cancer cells

Project description:Circulating tumour cells in women with advanced oestrogen-receptor (ER)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer acquire a HER2-positive subpopulation after multiple courses of therapy. In contrast to HER2-amplified primary breast cancer, which is highly sensitive to HER2-targeted therapy, the clinical significance of acquired HER2 heterogeneity during the evolution of metastatic breast cancer is unknown. Here we analyse circulating tumour cells from 19 women with ER+/HER2- primary tumours, 84% of whom had acquired circulating tumour cells expressing HER2. Cultured circulating tumour cells maintain discrete HER2+ and HER2- subpopulations: HER2+ circulating tumour cells are more proliferative but not addicted to HER2, consistent with activation of multiple signalling pathways; HER2- circulating tumour cells show activation of Notch and DNA damage pathways, exhibiting resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy, but sensitivity to Notch inhibition. HER2+ and HER2- circulating tumour cells interconvert spontaneously, with cells of one phenotype producing daughters of the opposite within four cell doublings. Although HER2+ and HER2- circulating tumour cells have comparable tumour initiating potential, differential proliferation favours the HER2+ state, while oxidative stress or cytotoxic chemotherapy enhances transition to the HER2- phenotype. Simultaneous treatment with paclitaxel and Notch inhibitors achieves sustained suppression of tumorigenesis in orthotopic circulating tumour cell-derived tumour models. Together, these results point to distinct yet interconverting phenotypes within patient-derived circulating tumour cells, contributing to progression of breast cancer and acquisition of drug resistance.
