Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Signalling Mediates Etoposide Resistance in Progressing Small Cell Lung Cancer

ABSTRACT: We exploited six paired pre-treatment and post-chemotherapy circulating tumour cell patient-derived explant (CDX) models from donors with extensive stage SCLC to investigate changes at disease progression after chemotherapy. WES data from the patient germ line and from the biopsy of the solid tumour is reported in this submission and RNASeq data from these models is reported previously (E-MTAB-8465 - RNA of Small Cell Lung Cancer Circulating Tumour Cells Derived Explants). Both chemo naive and progression models were taken from patients and their drug sensitivity tested within the mouse models. Blood samples were taken from patients, and RosetteSep CTC Enrichment was used to implant these cells into mice. Tumours were allowed to grow, then extracted and re-implanted into second and third generations of mice, before finally being subjected to molecular profiling.

Project description:Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype of breast cancer with high intra-tumoral heterogeneity, frequently resistant to treatment and no known targeted therapy available to improve patient outcomes. It has been hypothesized that the genomic architecture of a TNBC tumour evolves over time, both before, and during therapy, leading to therapy resistance and a high propensity to relapse. Whether this is an inherent property of the tumour or acquired over time is not well characterized. Despite this important clinical implication, limited studies have been carried out to unravel temporal evolution of TNBC over time. Herein, we report an OMICS based analysis of three TNBC patients who were longitudinally sampled during their treatment at different times of relapse. We recruited three TNBC patients at the time of their first relapse who were then followed-up through the course of their treatment. We obtained retrospective samples (tumour samples) from patient tumours at diagnosis (before neo-adjuvant chemotherapy - NACT) at surgery (post NACT) and prospectively sampled them at each subsequent relapse (tumour, blood plasma, and buffy coat) as determined by RECIST criteria. Tumor and buffy coat DNA were subjected to whole exome sequencing (WES) at 200x, and SNP arrays for copy number variation (CNV) analysis. RNA from tumour samples at relapse was subjected to whole transcriptome sequencing. Pathogenic germline BRCA1 variants identified in WES were validated using Sanger sequencing. 1084 somatic mutations identified in whole exome sequencing of all tumour tissues (n=13) from three patients, were subjected to a custom amplicon ultra-deep sequencing assay at 30,000X in their germline DNA (n=3), tumour DNA (n=10), and cfDNA from plasma samples at relapse (n=8). Copy number corrected allele frequencies, tumour ploidy, tumour purity, and ultra-deep sequencing assay derived variant allele frequencies were used to infer clonal and phylogenetic architecture of each patient as it evolved under selective pressure of therapy over time. Clonality analysis incorporating allele fractions from ultra-deep sequencing identified clones comprising of mutations that are present throughout the course of therapy which we term as founding clones and stem mutations respectively. Such founding clones comprising of stem mutations in all 3 patients were present throughout the course of treatment, irrespective of change in treatment modalities. These stem clones included well characterized cancer related genes like PDGFRB & ARID2 (Patient 02), TP53, BRAF & CSF3R (Patient 04) and ESR1, APC, EZH2 & TP53 (Patient 07). Such branching evolution is seen in all three patients wherein the dominant clone (stem clone) acquires additional mutations to form sub-clones, while persisting over time. These sub-clones may be chemo and radio resistant, while also providing for organ specific metastatic potential. Allele fractions of expressed variants inferred from RNA-Seq data co-related with allele fractions from WES data indicating that all somatic.
