• Dissecting intratumor heterogeneity of nodal B cell lymphoma on the transcriptional, genetic, and drug response level

  Tumor heterogeneity encompasses both the malignant cells and their microenvironment. While heterogeneity between individual patients is well-known to affect the efficacy of anti-cancer, most personalized treatment approaches do not account for intratumor heterogeneity. We addressed this issue by studying the heterogeneity of lymph node-derived B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) by single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) and transcriptome-informed flow cytometry. We identified transcriptionally distinct malignant subclones and compared their drug response and genomic profiles. Malignant subclones of the same patient responded strikingly different to anti-cancer drugs ex vivo, which recapitulated subclone-specific drug sensitivity during in vivo treatment. Tumor infiltrating T cells represented the majority of non-malignant cells, whose gene expression signatures were similar across all donors, whereas the frequencies of T cell subsets varied significantly between the donors. Our data provide new insights into the heterogeneity of B-NHL and highlight the relevance of intratumor heterogeneity for personalized cancer therapies.

• Proteomic Analysis of Non-Muscle Invasive and Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Highlights Distinct Subgroups With Metabolic, Matrisomal, and Immune Hallmarks

  We present the proteome biology of bladder cancer based on a cohort comprising treatment-naïve non-muscle invasive (NMIBC, N=17) and treatment-naïve muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC, N=51), as well as neoadjuvant-treated MIBC (N=11); using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples and data-independent acquisition yielding >8,000 protein identifications. The NMIBC proteome reveals two subgroups that represent cell adhesion or lipid metabolism biology. MIBC, compared to NMIBC, shows an altered metabolic proteome together with enrichment of extracellular matrix (ECM), immune response, and complement proteins; in line with three proteomic MIBC subgroups that represent ECM, metabolic, or immune signatures. The ECM and immune subgroups are enriched for markers of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages and dendritic cells, while markers for natural killer cells are exclusive for the ECM subgroup, and markers for cytotoxic T-cells are a hallmark of the immune subgroup. Infiltration of CD8+ PD1+ positive cytotoxic T cells correlated with PD-L1 expression of MIBC, as demonstrated by multiplex immunofluorescence analysis. The metabolic subgroup presents a comparably immune-depleted microenvironment. YAP1 signaling is particularly prominent in the ECM subgroup. The protein BSCL2 emerges as a prognostic marker for MIBC. We highlight increased endogenous proteolysis in MIBC alongside the upregulation of matrix metalloproteases exceeding the upregulation of their endogenous inhibitors. Genomic panel sequencing underlines prevalent FGFR3 mutations in NMIBC and prevalent TP53 mutations in MIBC, but a genomic underpinning of the MIBC subgroups remains elusive. Proteogenomic analysis yields protein-level evidence for more than 1,300 single amino acid variants. The proteomes of neoadjuvant-treated MIBC resembled treatment-naïve MIBC. Tumor-stroma interaction of MIBC was further investigated by proteomic analysis of patient-derived xenografts of MIBC. Our study adds to the proteome-level understanding of bladder cancer.

• CNV detection in targeted NGS panel data

  The aim of this study was to compare copy-number-variation (CNV) detection methods for targeted NGS panel data in a clinical diagnostic setting. We present targeted NGS panel data from 170 samples that were processed using the TruSight(TM) Cancer (TSC) panel (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA), which targets 94 genes and 284 SNPs associated with a predisposition towards cancer. The samples are enriched for CNVs in the genes of interest. All CNVs have previously been assessed with MLPA and can therefore be considered as confirmed.

• Hereditary Cancer Diagnostics with I2HCP gene panel

  This dataset contains targetted DNA sequencing data generated in the context of genetic diagnostics of hereditary cancer. Target enrichment was performed with the I2HCP, a custom hereditary cancer gene panel based in Agilent SureSelect and developed by the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP, Badalona, Catalonia, Spain) and the Catalan Institute of Oncology (ICO, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Catalonia, Spain). After the enrichment, 108 samples were sequenced in Illumina HiSeq machines and 130 in MiSeq machines. Some of the samples were sequenced on both platforms. The dataset also includes MLPA validation data for all identified copy-number alterations, annotated with exon resolution and information about negative MLPA results. All this data was generated in the context of routine diagnostics and compiled together with MPLA validation data for a genetic diagnostics oriented benchmark of germline CNV calling tools.

• A dataset compiled as a resource a for orthogonal assessment of exon CNV calling in NGS data

  The dataset includes high-quality sequencing data from a targeted NGS assay (the TruSight Cancer Panel) together with Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) results for 96 independent samples. 66 samples contain at least one validated exon CNV and 30 samples have validated negative results for exon CNVs in 26 genes. The dataset includes 46 exon CNVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM and PTEN, giving excellent representation of the cancer predisposition genes most frequently tested in clinical practice. Moreover, the validated exon CNVs include 25 single exon CNVs the most difficult exon CNV to detect. The full dataset includes FASTQ files, target BED file, and MLPA results.

• Adeno-associated virus in the liver: natural history and consequences in tumor development

  Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a defective mono-stranded DNA virus, endemic in human population (40-80%). AAV infection has long been considered as non-pathogenic1, however few years ago we reported for the first time recurrent clonal AAV2 insertion in the pathogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developed on normal liver. These clonal viral insertions target cancer driver genes, including CCNA2, CCNE1, TERT, TNFSF10 and MLL4, leading to their overexpression. The viral inserted sequences involved in almost all the cases the 3’ inverse tandem repeat (ITR) of AAV2, which is important for virus integration in host DNA and exhibits a promoter/enhancer activity. Here, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to investigate their functional impact on the tissue, such as fusion transcript generation events.

• Ductal keratin 15+ luminal progenitors in normal breast exhibit a basal-like breast cancer transcriptomic signature

  Normal breast luminal epithelial progenitors have been implicated as cell of origin in basal-like breast cancer, but their anatomical localization remains understudied. Here, we combine micro-collection of uncultured organoids and single cell mRNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) of FACS-sorted luminal epithelial cells with multicolor imaging to profile ducts and terminal ductal lobular units (TDLUs) and compare them with breast cancer subtypes. Unsupervised clustering reveals eleven distinct clusters and a differentiation trajectory starting with keratin 15+ (K15+) progenitors enriched in ducts. Spatial mapping of luminal progenitors is confirmed at the protein level by staining with critical duct markers. Comparison of the gene expression profiles of normal luminal cells with those of breast cancer subtypes reveals a strong correlation between normal breast K15+ ductal progenitors and basal-like breast cancer. We propose that K15+ basal-like breast cancers originate in ductal progenitors, which emphasizes the importance of not only lineages but also cellular position within the ductal-lobular tree.
