Project description:Mongolia has the highest incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the world, but its causative factors and underlying tumor biology remain unknown. Here, we describe molecular characteristics of HCC from 76 Mongolian patients by whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing. We present a comprehensive analysis of mutational signatures, driver genes, and molecular subtypes of Mongolian HCC compared to 373 HCC patients of different races and ethnicities and diverse etiologies. Mongolian HCC consists of prognostic molecular subtypes similar to those found in patients from other areas of Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as other unique subtypes, suggesting the presence of distinct etiologies linked to Mongolian patients. In addition to common driver mutations (TP53, CTNNB1) frequently found in pan-cancer analysis, Mongolian HCC exhibits unique drivers (most notably GTF2IRD2B, PNRC2, and SPTA1), the latter of which is associated with hepatitis D viral infection. These results suggest the existence of new molecular mechanisms at play in Mongolian hepatocarcinogenesis.

Project description:Cancer is a genetic disease with frequent somatic alterations in DNA. Study of recurrent copy number aberrations (CNAs) in human cancers would enable the elucidation of disease mechanisms and the identification of key oncogenic drivers with causal roles in oncogenesis. We have comprehensively and systematically characterized CNAs and accompanied gene expression changes in the tumors and their matched non-tumor liver tissues from 286 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Our analysis identified 29 recurrently amplified regions and 22 deleted regions with a high level of copy number changes, harboring established oncogenes and tumor suppressors, including CCND1, MET, CDKN2A and CDKN2B, as well as many other genes not previously reported to be involved in liver carcinogenesis. Cis-acting genes in the amplification and deletion peaks were enriched in core cancer pathways, including cell cycle, p53, PI3K, MAPK, Wnt and TGFβ signaling in large proportions of HCCs. We further validated two candidate driver genes, BCL9 and MTDH, from the recurrent focal amplification peaks and showed that they play a significant role in HCC growth and survival. In summary, we have demonstrated that characterizing the CNA landscape in HCC will facilitate the understanding of disease mechanisms and the identification of oncogenic drivers that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of this devastating disease. Two hundred and eighty-six hepatocellular carcinoma tumors and their matched non-tumor adjacent liver tissue samples were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip to estimate their somatic copy number profiles.

Thirty hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip to estimate their copy number profiles relative to pooled Hapmap samples.

Project description:Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has extremely skewed ethnic and geographic distributions, is poorly understood at the genetic level and is in need of effective therapeutic approaches. Here we determined the mutational landscape of 128 cases with NPC using whole-exome and targeted deep sequencing, as well as SNP array analysis. These approaches revealed a distinct mutational signature and nine significantly mutated genes, many of which have not been implicated previously in NPC. Notably, integrated analysis showed enrichment of genetic lesions affecting several important cellular processes and pathways, including chromatin modification, ERBB-PI3K signaling and autophagy machinery. Further functional studies suggested the biological relevance of these lesions to the NPC malignant phenotype. In addition, we uncovered a number of new druggable candidates because of their genomic alterations. Together our study provides a molecular basis for a comprehensive understanding of, and exploring new therapies for, NPC Examination of mRNA expression levels in 4 individuals dignosed for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma using RNA sequencing.
