    Abstract: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly lethal cancer of the lining of the chest cavity. To expand our understanding of MPM, we conducted a comprehensive integrated genomic study, including the most detailed analysis of BAP1 alterations to date. We identified histology-independent molecular prognostic subsets, and defined a novel genomic subtype with TP53 and SETDB1 mutations and extensive loss of heterozygosity. We also report strong expression of the immune-checkpoint gene VISTA in epithelioid MPM, strikingly higher than in other solid cancers, with implications for the immune response to MPM and for its immunotherapy. Our findings highlight new avenues for further investigation of MPM biology and novel therapeutic options. Significance: Through a comprehensive integrated genomic study of 74 MPMs, we provide a deeper understanding of histology-independent determinants of aggressive behavior, define a novel genomic subtype with TP53 and SETDB1 mutations and extensive loss of heterozygosity, and discovered strong expression of the immune-checkpoint gene VISTA in epithelioid MPM.

    Abstract: Melanoma is a cancer of melanocytes, with multiple subtypes based on body site location. Cutaneous melanoma is associated with skin exposed to ultraviolet radiation; uveal melanoma occurs in the eyes; mucosal melanoma occurs in internal mucous membranes; and acral melanoma occurs on the palms, soles, and nail beds. Here, we present the largest whole-genome sequencing study of melanoma to date, with 570 tumors profiled, as well as methylation and RNA sequencing for subsets of tumors. Uveal melanoma is genomically distinct from other melanoma subtypes, harboring the lowest tumor mutation burden and with significantly mutated genes in the G-protein signaling pathway. Most cutaneous, acral, and mucosal melanomas share alterations in components of the MAPK, PI3K, p53, p16, and telomere pathways. However, the mechanism by which these pathways are activated or inactivated varies between melanoma subtypes. Additionally, we identify potential novel germline predisposition genes for some of the less common melanoma subtypes. Significance: This is the largest whole-genome analysis of melanoma to date, comprehensively comparing the genomics of the four major melanoma subtypes. This study highlights both similarities and differences between the subtypes, providing insights into the etiology and biology of melanoma.

    Abstract: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for which there are no approved molecularly targeted agents and few good treatment options beyond cisplatin-based chemotherapy. As part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Project, we analyzed 131 chemotherapy-naive, muscle-invasive UC tumors for somatic mutations, DNA copy number variants (CNVs), mRNA and microRNA expression, protein expression and phosphorylation, DNA methylation, transcript splicing, gene fusion, viral integration, pathway perturbation, clinical correlates, and histopathology (TCGA Research Network, Nature, in press). Whole-exome sequencing showed 29 recurrently mutated genes. Potential therapeutic targets include altered PIK3CA, ERBB2, FGFR3, TSC1, and ERBB3, plus mutated chromatin-regulating genes MLL, MLL2, MLL3, CREBBP, CHD7, SRCAP, ARID1A, KDM6A (UTX), and EP300. There were 22 arm-level CNVs and 27 focally amplified or deleted regions. CDKN2A was deleted in 47%. Low-pass whole genome sequencing identified FGFR3-TACC3 fusions. Viral DNA was identified in 6% (CMV, HHV6B, HPV16, BK polyoma), and viral transcripts were identified in 4% (CMV, BK polyoma, HPV16). . mRNA-seq identified 4 tumor clusters. Cluster I shows papillary morphology and FGFR3 dysregulation. Clusters I and II express high HER2 (ERBB2) and estrogen receptor beta signaling signature, sharing features with Luminal A breast cancer. Cluster III shows similarities to Basal-like breast and squamous cell head and neck carcinomas. . Integrated analyses confirm alteration of multiple pathways, including cell cycle regulation (93%), kinase and PI3-K signaling (72%), and epigenetic regulation (histone-modifiers: 89%; SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeling complex: 64%). Recurrent alterations in the PI3-kinase/AKT/mTOR pathway (42%) and RTK/RAS pathway (44%) are potentially actionable. . Overall, this study and others have identified multiple druggable targets in UC. FGFR3 is activated by mutation, gene fusion, and overexpression, suggesting clinical trials of FGFR3 inhibitors. PI3-kinase/mTOR/AKT/TSC1 pathway alterations are frequent, and mutation in TSC1 has been associated with response to mTOR inhibitors. ERBB2 amplifications and activating mutations may be targetable with agents such as trastuzumab, trastuzumab-DM1, lapatinib, and neratinib. The frequent alterations in epigenetic regulatory pathways suggest trials of agents such as the bromodomain inhibitors. The project is now being updated on the basis of data on 117 additional tumors.

    Abstract: Purpose: Breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) diagnosis is increasing in frequency due to improved systemic control and imaging techniques. Differences have been noted in rates of central nervous system (CNS) relapse and biologic subtype. The modified breast graded prognostic assessment (breast-GPA) was initially validated in patients treated between 1996-2013 and considers biologic subtype. In this study, we characterize patients diagnosed with BCBM by subtype and validate the breast-GPA in a modern cohort of patients. Methods: All patients with BCBM treated at our institution with radiotherapy between 2016 and 2019 were identified. Characteristics of patients’ initial brain metastasis diagnosis were retrieved from the clinical chart and radiologic examinations. To test differences between cohorts, the Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson’s chi-square tests were used when appropriate. Overall survival (OS) was calculated from the date of brain metastasis diagnosis to the date of death using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) method, with the log-rank test used to examine differences between groups. Results: A total of 122 BCBM patients were identified. Breast cancer subtypes included hormone receptor (HR)+/HER2- (45%), triple negative (TN) (25%), HR-/HER2+ (16%), and HR+/HER2+ (14%). The first treatment for BCBM patients following diagnosis was whole brain radiation (51%), surgery followed by stereotactic radiation (28%), and stereotactic radiation (21%). The interval between breast cancer diagnosis and diagnosis of BCBM was longest for HR+/HER2- 4.5 years, followed by TN 2.8 years, HR+/HER2+ 2.3 years, HR-/HER2+ 1.9 years, p=0.003. The interval from systemic metastases to BCBM diagnosis trended towards the shortest for TN patients 6.6 months, p=0.15. A total of 34 patients (28%) were diagnosed with leptomeningeal disease (LMD) at initial brain metastases presentation. LMD was diagnosed most commonly at presentation in HR+/HER2- (36%) followed by , TN (26%), HR-/HER2+ (26%), and HR+/HER2+ (6%), p=0.06. No differences were noted based on receptor typessubtype and age, symptomatic intracranial disease, number of brain metastases, type of first intracranial treatment or concurrent systemic metastases at initial BCBM presentation, all p & gt; 0.05. Twenty-four month KM OS rates following diagnosis of brain metastasis for breast-GPA 0-1, 1.5-2, 2.5-3, and 3.5-4 groups were 14%, 27%, 33%, and 86% (p=0.0005), respectively. Conclusions: In our institutional analysis, similarities were noted in the initial presentation of BCBM based on receptor typesubtype. Significant differences were noted in OS based on the modified breast-GPA. Further investigation is needed to determine which subtypes of asymptomatic breast cancer patients are at sufficient risk to warrant brain MRI screening.

    Abstract: In 2014, as part of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Project, we reported molecular profiling of 131 chemotherapy-naive, muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancers for DNA copy number variants (CNVs), somatic mutations by whole exome sequencing (WES), DNA methylation, mRNA expression, microRNA expression, protein expression and phosphorylation, transcript splicing, gene fusion, viral integration, pathway perturbation, clinical correlates, and histopathology (TCGA Research Network, Nature 507:315, 2014). Since that time, the number of tumors (from 19 tissue source sites) profiled comprehensively has doubled, and the final analyzed cohort will total 412 by February 2015. Unsupervised consensus clustering for the data from miRNAseq on the first 310 tumor samples shows five robust clusters, with miR-99a, miR-100, and miR-200 family members differentially abundant across the clusters. mRNA clusters I-IV remained stable as well. For the 266 tumour samples for which we have both miRNA and mRNA data, potential miRNA-mRNA targeting relationships supported by functional validation publications include miR-100-5p targeting FGFR3. The data also highlight the miR-200 family, miR-29abc, miR-17-92 and 106b-25 complexes, as well as miR-34a, miR-155, and miR-21. At this time, mutation analysis of WES data has been completed for 238 samples (including the first 131). Seven additional significantly mutated genes (using MutSig) have been identified: ASXL2 (11%), HSP90AA1 (7%), PSIP1 (5%), ZFP36L2 (5%), ZNF513 (5%), PTEN (4%), CEBPB (2%) (mutant frequency in parentheses). A sample with a POLE exonuclease domain mutation (P286R) exhibited an ultra-mutant phenotype (mutation rate ∼100 per MB). Many of the 38 (total) SMGs have not previously been described in bladder cancer. Combining copy number variation and somatic mutation data, 69% of tumors harbor one or more potentially actionable targets. Three mutation clusters were identified and characterized as: 1) “Focally amplified” - enriched in focal copy number alterations (e.g., 3p loss/PPARG) and MLL2 mutations; 2) Enriched for TP53 and RB1 mutations, E2F3 amplifications; and 3) Papillary histology, FGFR3 mutant CDKN2A-deficient.

    Abstract: Introduction: In 2014, TCGA's Bladder Cancer Working Group presented a preliminary integrated molecular analysis of 131 muscle-invasive urothelial carcinomas (Nature 507:315, 2014). We now report on the entire cohort of 412 fresh-frozen, chemotherapy-naïve tumors. Included in the analysis were paired blood and/or tumor-adjacent tissue samples. This is the largest sequencing project on bladder cancer to date. After strict clinical and pathologic quality control, tumors were analyzed for DNA copy number variants, somatic mutations, DNA methylation, mRNA, microRNA and (phospho-) protein expression, transcript splicing, gene fusions, viral integration, APOBEC mutagenesis, pathway perturbation, clinical correlates, and histopathology. Results: There was a high overall somatic mutation rate (8.0/Mb), with a median of 245 and mean of 348 coding-region mutations per sample. That is the third highest mutation rate among the cancer types profiled by TCGA (after cutaneous melanoma and non-small cell lung cancers). We identified 54 genes as significantly mutated, compared with 32 in the original report on 131 tumors. TP53 mutations were the most common (49%), and also quite common were mutations in a number of chromatin-modifying genes, including MLL2 (29%), KDM6A (26%), ARID1A (25%), MLL3 (19%), EP300 (15%), CREBBP (12%), and MLL (11%). Other cancer-related genes showing frequent mutations included PIK3CA (22%), RB1 (17%), FGFR3 (14%), STAG2 (14%), ATM (14%), ELF3 (12%), FAT1 (12%), SPTAN1 (12%), ERBB2 (12%), ERBB3 (11%), ASXL2 (10%), ERCC2 (9%), CDKN1A (9%), TSC1 (8%), CDKN2A (7%), RHOB (6%), NFE2L2 (6%), PARD3 (6%), FAM47C (5%), RBM10 (5%),HRAS (5%), KRAS (4%), and PTEN (3%). High mutation burden was associated with improved outcome (p = 0.0004). APOBEC mutagenesis explained 70% of the mutation burden and was associated with survival. Gene silencing by promoter hypermethylation was identified in 167 genes with at least 5% frequency in the cohort. The previously identified four mRNA expression subtypes were again found in the complete set of 412 tumors, and the proportions of samples in each subtype were similar to the previous proportions. Reverse-phase proteomic array analysis of 344 of the samples revealed clusters associated with diagnostic subtype, pathological stage, and grade but not with smoking history or non-muscle invasive status. Conclusions: This integrated molecular analysis of 412 TCGA tumor samples largely validates and considerably extends observations from the initial cohort of 131 patients. The larger cohort significantly increased our power to detect lower-frequency aberrations that were not identified in the original cohort. The results provide a robust basis for further functional studies of bladder cancer biology and also provide additional incisive information for the identification of molecular targets for therapy.

    Abstract: Bispecific T cell engager (TCE) therapies have exhibited clinical utility against hematological cancers, but limited success in solid tumors. Treatment of solid tumors has additional challenges - including immunosuppressive environments and low T cell infiltration - limiting the antitumor activity of CD3-bispecific TCEs. Conventional T cell activation and sustained proliferation requires signaling via CD3 (signal 1) and costimulatory molecules (signal 2), such as CD28. The balance between signals 1 and 2 is critical for optimal T cell activation – signal 1 in the absence of signal 2 results in T cell anergy, while overactivation via signals 1 and 2 can lead to T cell dysfunction and cytokine release, as observed with toxicities associated with αCD28 superagonist antibodies (Abs). Optimal signal 2 costimulation via CD28 results in improved T cell fitness, activation and proliferation. To improve T cell responses in solid tumors, we developed costimulatory trispecific TCEs (TriTCE Co-stim) that engage CD3, CD28 and a tumor-associated antigen (TAA). Our novel TriTCE Co-stim Abs were generated using the AzymetricTM and EFECTTM platforms to facilitate heterodimeric TriTCE Co-stim assembly and to knockout Fc gamma receptor interactions, respectively. To limit potential CD28-mediated toxicities, we evaluated a conventional αCD28 agonist paratope and generated a paratope library with varying affinities for CD28. TriTCE Co-stim Abs were engineered with various formats, geometries, paratope affinities, and TAA specificities. To understand the impact of TriTCE Co-stim Abs on T cell activation, we assessed in vitro cytotoxicity, cytokine production and proliferation of primary human CD3 T cells in co-culture with TAA-expressing cancer cell lines. A human PBMC-engrafted xenograft model was used to assess in vivo antitumor activity in a TAAhigh tumor model. TriTCE Co-stim Abs exhibited a range of cytotoxic potency, with several formats exhibiting greater potency than bispecific TCEs, and induced greater cytotoxicity of tumor cells in long term co-cultures at low effector to target ratios. TriTCE Co-stim Abs exhibited TAA-dependent cytokine release and T cell proliferation, with enhanced IL-2 production and proliferation compared to that induced by bispecific TCEs. Tumor growth regression was observed in vivo following treatment with different TriTCE Co-stim Ab formats. In summary, we identified TriTCE Co-stim Ab formats that exhibit improved proliferation and antitumor activity against multiple TAA targets compared to bispecific TCE, which may translate to improved and more durable antitumor responses in solid tumors with low T cell infiltration. The evaluation of multiple formats, geometries and paratope affinities allowed optimization of activity and selectivity to promote maximal therapeutic index and efficacy, key factors that may contribute to improved clinical outcomes.

    Abstract: To target DNA repair vulnerabilities in cancer, we discovered nanomolar potent, selective, low molecular weight (MW), allosteric inhibitors of the polymerase function of DNA polymerase Polθ, including ART558. ART558 inhibits the major Polθ-mediated DNA repair process, Theta-Mediated End Joining (TMEJ), without targeting Non-Homologous End Joining. Moreover, we show that exposure to ART558 can elicit DNA damage and synthetic lethality in BRCA1- or BRCA2-mutant tumor cells and enhances the effects of a PARP inhibitor. Genetic perturbation screening revealed that defects in the 53BP1/Shieldin complex, which are a cause of PARP inhibitor resistance, result in in vitro and in vivo sensitivity to Polθ polymerase inhibitors. Mechanistically, ART558 increases biomarkers of single-stranded DNA and synthetic lethality in 53BP1-defective cells. The inhibition of DNA nucleases that promote end-resection, such as Exo1 or Blm-Dna2 reversed these effects, implicating these in the synthetic lethal mechanism-of-action. Taken together, these observations describe a drug class that elicits BRCA-gene synthetic lethality and PARP inhibitor synergy, as well as targeting a biomarker-defined mechanism of PARPi-resistance.
