Project description:T cell responses within pediatric brain tumors (PBT) remain poorly understood. We performed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and paired T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) of patient-derived brain tumor-infiltrating T cells to map T cell molecular profile with TCR repertoire and clonality. We demonstrate marked clonal expansion of intra-tumoral T cells and reveal their differential phenotype, transcriptional state and functional properties within brain tumors. To understand T cell responses within highly immunogenic tumors that respond to checkpoint blockers, we undertook analysis of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We performed single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) and paired T cell receptor sequencing (TCR-Seq) of patient-derived lung tumor-infiltrating T cells to map T cell molecular profile with clonality.

Project description:IFNγ is an immune mediator with concomitant pro- and anti-tumor functions. Here, we provide evidence that IFNγ directly acts on intra-tumoral CD8 T cells to restrict anti-tumor responses. We report that expression of the IFNγ receptor β chain (IFNγR2) in CD8 T cells negatively correlates with clinical responsiveness to checkpoint blockade in metastatic melanoma patients, suggesting that the loss of sensitivity to IFNγ contributes to successful antitumor immunity. Indeed, specific deletion of IFNγR in CD8 T cells promotes tumor control in a mouse model of melanoma. Chronic IFNγ inhibits the maintenance, clonal diversity and proliferation of stem-like T cells. This leads to decreased generation of T cells with intermediate expression of exhaustion markers, previously associated with beneficial anti-tumor responses. This study provides evidence of a negative feedback loop whereby IFNγ depletes stem-like T cells to restrict anti-tumor immunity. Targeting this pathway might represent an alternative strategy to enhance T cell-based therapies.

Project description:Heterogeneity of gene expression profiles in head and neck cancer Background: Results of gene expression profiling studies from different institutes often lack consistency. This could be due to the use of different microarray platforms and protocols, or to intra-tumoral heterogeneity in mRNA expression. The aim of our study was to quantify intra-tumoral heterogeneity in head and cancer. Methods: Forty-four fresh frozen biopsies were taken from 22 patients, two per tumor. RNA was extracted, tested for quality, amplified, labeled and hybridized to a 35k oligoarray. Results: Unsupervised clustering analyses using all genes, the most variable genes, or random gene sets showed that 80-90% of biopsy pairs clustered together. A within-pair-between-pair scatter ratio analysis showed that the similarity between matching pairs was significantly greater than that between random pairs (p < 0.00001). Conclusions: Two biopsies from the same tumor show far greater similarity in gene expression than biopsies from different tumors, supporting the use of one biopsy for expression profiling.

Project description:Intra-individual tumoral heterogeneity (ITH) is a hallmark of solid tumors and impedes accurate genomic diagnosis and selection of proper therapy. The purpose of this study was to identify ITH of ovarian serous adenocarcinomas (OSAs) and to determine the utility of ascitic cancer cells as a resource for mutation profiling in spite of ITH. We performed whole-exome sequencing, copy number profiling, and DNA methylation profiling of four OSA genomes using multiregional biopsies from 13 intraovarian lesions, 12 extraovarian tumor lesions (omentum/peritoneum), and ascitic cells. We observed substantial levels of heterogeneity in mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs) of the OSAs. We categorized the mutations into 'common', 'shared' and 'private' according to the regional distribution. Six common, 8 shared, and 24 private mutations were observed in known cancer-related genes,. but common mutations had a higher mutant allele frequency and included TP53 mutations in all four OSAs. Region-specific chromosomal amplifications and deletions involving BRCA1, PIK3CA, and RB1 were also identified. Of note, the mutations detected in ascitic cancer cells represented 92.3-100% of overall somatic mutations in the given case. Phylogenetic analyses of ascitic genomes predicted a polyseeding origin of somatic mutations in ascitic cells. Our results demonstrate that despite ITH, somatic mutations, CNAs, and DNA methylations in both â??commonâ?? category and cancer-related genes were highly conserved in ascitic cells of OSAs, highlighting the clinical relevance of genome analysis of ascitic cells. Ascitic tumor cells may serve as a potential resource to discover somatic mutations of primary OSA with diagnostic and therapeutic relevance. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of ascitic cells as well as biopsies from ovarian serous adenocarcinomas cases obtained by Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip Bisulphite converted DNA from the 16 samples were hybridized to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip

Project description:Hereditary endocrine neoplasias, including phaeochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) and medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), are caused by autosomal dominant mutations in a multitude of familial cancer genes. A common feature of these diseases is the presentation of multiple primary tumours or multifocal disease representing independent tumour clones that have arisen from the same initiating genetic lesion but have undergone independent clonal evolution. Such tumours provide a unique opportunity to discover common co-operative changes required for tumorigenesis while controlling for the genetic background of the individual. We performed an in-depth genomic analysis of synchronous and metachronous tumours from five patients harbouring germline mutations in the genes SDHB, RET and MAX. Using whole exome sequencing and high-density SNP-arrays we analyzed between two and four primary tumours from each patient. Furthermore, we applied multi-regional sampling to assess intra-tumoral heterogeneity and clonal evolution in two cases involving PPGL and MTC, respectively. Heterogeneous patterns of genomic change existed between synchronous or metachronous tumours with evidence of branching evolution. We observed striking examples of evolutionary convergence involving the same rare somatic copy-number events in synchronous primary PPGL. Convergent events also occurred during clonal evolution of metastatic MTC. These observations suggest that genetic or epigenetic changes acquired early within precursor cells, or pre-existing within the genetic background of the individual, create contingencies that determine the evolutionary trajectory of the tumour.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly fatal malignancy that is characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment. The immune suppression in PDAC is largely driven by heterogeneous stromal and tumor cells. However, how adipocyte in the tumor microenvironment (TME) is related to the immune cell infiltration in PDAC has rarely been published. We identified adipocytes by performing bioinformatics analyses, and explored the clinical outcomes and TME characters in PDAC with different levels of adipocyte infiltration. Interestingly, in contrast to adiposity, high adipocyte infiltration in the TME was related to significantly increased median overall survival and a lower total tumor mutational burden. Functionally, high adipocyte infiltration was associated with the immune response, particularly with the abundant cytokine infiltration in PDAC samples. Moreover, adipocyte infiltration in the TME was positively associated with anticancer signatures in the immune microenvironment. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR were performed with PDAC tissue samples from our center to study the expression of adipocytes in PDAC. The mature adipocytes were strongly associated with the immune composition and prognosis of patients with PDAC. Primary adipocytes were isolated from mice to construct a PDAC transplantation tumor model. In vivo experiments showed that adipocytes elicited increased CD8+ T cell infiltration and potent antitumor activity in tumor-bearing mice. Overall, we innovatively found that adipocytes facilitated the antitumor immune response in the TME by performing mouse experiments and analyzing PDAC samples. This study provides a new perspective on the activation of the immune microenvironment in PDAC.
