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.

Project description:INTRODUCTION. Liquid biopsies are a minimally invasive collection of a patient body fluid sample. In oncology, they offer several advantages compared to traditional tissue biopsies. However, potential of this method in endometrial cancer (EC) remains poorly explored. We studied the utility of tumor educated platelets (TEPs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for preoperative EC diagnosis, including histology determination. MATERIALS AND METHODS. TEPs from 297 subjects (53 EC patients, 40 patients with benign gynecologic conditions and 204 healthy women) were RNA-sequenced. DNA sequencing was performed in 519 primary tumor tissue samples and in16 plasma samples. Artificial intelligence was applied to sample classification. RESULTS. Platelet-dedicated classifier yielded AUC of 93.1% in test set when discriminating between healthy subjects and cancer patients. However, the discrimination between endometrial cancer and benign gynecologic conditions was relatively low, with AUC of 60.7%. ctDNA-dedicated classifier discriminated primary tumor tissue samples with AUC of 91.4% and ctDNA blood samples with AUC of 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS Liquid biopsies show potential in EC diagnosis. Both TEPs and ctDNA profiles coupled with artificial intelligence constitute a source of useful information. Further work, involving more cases, is warranted.

Project description:This study aims to compared ctDNA methylation status induced by ionizing to different ograns. SD rats were irradiated with local radaition to brain, lung or skin. Serum was collected and subjiected to ctDNA extraction. ctDNA were then treated by methylation-sensive bisulfite and sequencing.

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.

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 of ctDNA derived from small amount of CSF (200 µL) and matched tumor DNA from four subtypes of MB patients. We find highly concordance of DNA methylation between CSF ctDNA and tumor DNA in a subtype manner. Our results show that CSF ctNDA methylation can be a minimal invasive precisely method to assess epigenetic alterations of MB in a subtype manner, which is complementary to current diagnoses of MB tumors.

Project description:Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common malignancy of the central nervous system (CNS) that is prone to recurrent and has a short survival period. Clinical biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of recurrent GBM are lacking.Methods: We collected 4 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples and 1 normal CSF sample from recurrent GBM, as well as paired tissue samples. Genome-wide methylation profiles of CSF circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tissue mRNA transcription profiles were analyzed, and genes were screened by univariate Cox analysis, Lasso regression analysis, and multivariate Cox analysis by the Chinese Glioma Genome Atlas (CGGA) database. Data analysis and visualization were performed using R software, SPSS software, and Graphpad Prism.Results: By taking the intersection of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 892 genes were selected for Lasso regression analysis and multivariate Cox analysis, and 12 hub genes were finally screened to construct diagnostic and prognostic models. The diagnostic (AUC=0.982) and prognostic (5-years AUC=0.931) models based on the 12 hub genes had high accuracy.Conclusions: This study reveals that 12 hub genes in CSF ctDNA can diagnose and prognosticate recurrent GBM and provide new biomarkers for clinical research into the mechanisms of GBM recurrent.
