Project description:In this study we addressed subclonal evolutionary process after treatment and subsequent relapse in multiple myeloma (MM) in a cohort of 24 MM patients treated either with conventional chemotherapy or with the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib. Because MM is a highly heterogeneous disease coupled with a large number of DNA copy number alterations (CNAs) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH), we focused our study on the secondary genetic events: 1q21 gain, NF-kB activating mutations, RB1 and TP53 deletions, that seem to reflect progression. By using genome-wide high resolution SNP arrays we identified subclones with nonlinear complex evolutionary histories in a third of patients with myeloma, the relapse clone apparently derived from a minor subclone at diagnosis. Such reordering of the spectrum of genetic lesions during therapy is likely to reflect selection of genetically distinct subclones not initially competitive against the dominant population that survived chemotherapy, thrived and acquired new anomalies. In addition we found that emergence of minor subclones at relapse was significantly associated with bortezomib treatment. Altogether, these data support the idea of new strategy of future clinical trials in MM that would combine targeted therapy and subpopulations control to eradicate all myeloma subclones in order to obtain long-term remission.

Project description:Intratumor heterogeneity as a clinical challenge becomes most evident after several treatment lines, when multidrug-resistant subclones accumulate. To address this challenge, the characterization of resistance mechanisms at the subclonal level is key to identify common vulnerabilities. In this study, we integrate whole-genome sequencing, single-cell (sc) transcriptomics (scRNA sequencing), and chromatin accessibility (scATAC sequencing) together with mitochondrial DNA mutations to define subclonal architecture and evolution for longitudinal samples from 15 patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. We assess transcriptomic and epigenomic changes to resolve the multifactorial nature of therapy resistance and relate it to the parallel occurrence of different mechanisms: (1) preexisting epigenetic profiles of subclones associated with survival advantages, (2) converging phenotypic adaptation of genetically distinct subclones, and (3) subclone-specific interactions of myeloma and bone marrow microenvironment cells. Our study showcases how an integrative multiomics analysis can be applied to track and characterize distinct multidrug-resistant subclones over time for the identification of molecular targets against them.

Project description:We perform bulk RNA sequencing, tumor/normal DNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics on an initial discovery cohort of eleven glioma samples (comprising oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, one diffuse midline glioma, and glioblastomas) to identify both commonalities and distinct characteristics within the tumor microenvironment. Six additional high-grade IDH wild-type, EGFR positive glioblastomas are analyzed to validate subclonal somatic aneuploidy and copy number alterations associated with extrachromosomal DNA double-minutes. As part of the standard spatial transcriptomic analysis, we develop an integrated analysis framework combining germline/tumor exomes, bulk RNA-seq, and spatial transcriptomics to identify loss of heterozygosity by a hidden Markov model for segmenting consecutively expressed SNPs. In the discovery cohort, we identify focally amplified ecDNA in four of the eleven cases, with subclonal tumor heterogeneity present in two EGFR-amplified grade IV glioblastomas. In a TP53-mutated glioblastoma, we detect a subclone with EGFR amplification on ecDNA coupled to chromosome 17 LOH. To evaluate the impact of spatial subclonal chromosomal alterations on the p53/EGFR axis, we examine six additional EGFR positive gliomas, identifying MDM2/MDM4 ecDNA subclones in two samples. The spatial DNA heterogeneity of EGFR and p53 inactivation underscores the role of ecDNA in enabling rapid oncogene amplification and enhancing tumor adaptability under selective pressure.

Project description:Little is known about the extent of intraclonal heterogeneity of CLL tumor cells. We performed longitudinal whole genome analysis in 22 CLL cases with evidence of clinical progression and/or clinical relapse post therapy. We demonstrate the striking and unanticipated presence of genetic clonal heterogeneity, with at least 27% of patients exhibiting clonal evolution and 18% showing evidence of multiple subclones. We show that CLL progression can occur with multiple genetic subclones evolving either in a linear or branching manner. The analysis reveals a shift in the relative dominance of subclones with the emergence of initially minor clones after therapy all of which were very resistant to secondary therapies. This study uncovers the clinical importance of tracking subclone diversity in CLL.

Project description:Cancer evolves dynamically, as clonal expansions supersede or overlap one another, driven by shifting selective pressures, mutational processes and disrupted cancer genes. These processes mark the genome, such that a cancerÕs life history is encrypted in the timing, ploidy, clonality and patterns of somatic mutation. We developed bioinformatic algorithms to decipher this narrative, and applied them to 21 breast cancer genomes. We find that mutational processes evolve across the lifespan of a breast tumor, with cancer-specific signatures of point mutations and chromosomal instability often emerging late but contributing extensive genetic variation. Subclonal diversification is prominent, providing insight into the dynamics of clonal expansion in breast cancer. Most point mutations are found in just a fraction of tumor cells, together with frequent variegation in chromosomal copy number. Every tumor studied here has a dominant subclonal lineage, representing more than 50% of tumor cells. Minimal expansion of these subclones occurs until many hundreds to thousands of mutations have accumulated, implying the existence of long-lived, quiescent lineages of cells that are capable of substantial proliferation upon acquisition of enabling genomic changes. Expansion of the dominant subclone to an appreciable mass may therefore represent the final rate-limiting step in a breast cancer's development, triggering diagnosis.

Project description:Although radiotherapy plays a crucial role in treating many cancers, the effect of radiation on tumor evolution remains unclear. We integrated temporal genomic profiling of 120 spatially distinct tumor regions from 20 patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas (UPS), longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis, and evolutionary biology computational pipelines to study UPS evolution during tumorigenesis and in response to radiotherapy. Most unirradiated UPS displayed initial linear evolution followed by subsequent branching evolution with distinct mutational processes during early and late development. Using metrics of genetic divergence between regions, we demonstrated evidence of strong selection pressures during UPS development that further increased during radiotherapy. We observed changes in subclone abundance following radiotherapy with subclone contraction tied to alterations in calcium signaling and demonstrated that inhibiting calcium transporters can radiosensitize sarcoma cells. Finally, ctDNA analysis accurately measured subclone abundance and enabled non-invasive monitoring of subclonal changes. These results demonstrate that radiation exerts selective pressures on UPS and suggest that targeting radioresistant subclonal populations could improve outcomes after radiotherapy.

This study uncovers the clinical importance of tracking subclone diversity in CLL. All patients had genome wide genetic analysis performed by aCGH on at least two sequential tumor samples >6 months apart. For the purposes of this study, we classified samples as; time point 1 (TP1) collected >6 months before starting first-line treatment for disease progression; time point 2 (TP2) consisting of tumor samples at the time of progression requiring treatment; and time point 3 (TP3) consisting of tumor samples collected >6 months after initial treatment but prior to subsequent treatments. Overall, aCGH assay was performed in 54 samples from 22 patients (2 to 4 time points analyzed per patient). Thus, 6 patients were analyzed at TP1 and TP2, 8 patients at TP2 and TP3, 2 patients at TP1 and TP3, and the remaining 6 patients were analyzed at TP1, TP2 and TP3.

Project description:Single cell lineage analysis was used to assess clonal genetic heterogeneity and functional aspects of AML HSPCs derived at diagnosis and relapse. To address inherent limitations of single cell analysis, we developed a unique high-resolution technique capable of following single cell-derived subclones of different HSPC subpopulations during the AML course. Each of these subclones was evaluated for chemo-resistance, in-vivo leukemogenic potential in Nod Scid Gamma (NSG) mice, mutational profile, and the subclone cell of origin identified using retrospective cell lineage reconstruction.
