Consistent testing for recurrent genomic aberrations.

ABSTRACT: We consider the detection and identification of recurrent departures from stationary behaviour in genomic or similarly arranged data containing measurements at an ordered set of variables. Our primary focus is on departures that occur only at a single variable, or within a small window of contiguous variables, but involve more than one sample. This encompasses the identification of aberrant markers in genome-wide measurements of DNA copy number and DNA methylation, as well as meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies. We propose and analyse a cyclic shift-based procedure for testing recurrent departures from stationarity. Our analysis establishes the consistency of cyclic shift [Formula: see text]-values for datasets with a fixed set of samples as the number of observed variables tends to infinity, under the assumption that each sample is an independent realization of a stationary Markov chain. Our results apply to any test statistic satisfying a simple invariance condition.

Cells Comprising the Prostate Cancer Microenvironment Lack Recurrent Clonal Somatic Genomic Aberrations

Project description:Prostate cancer-associated stroma (CAS) plays an active role in malignant transformation, tumor progression, and metastasis. Molecular analyses of CAS have demonstrated significant changes in gene expression; however, conflicting evidence exists on whether genomic alterations in benign cells comprising the tumor microenvironment (TME) underlie gene expression changes and oncogenic phenotypes. This study evaluates the nuclear and mitochondrial DNA integrity of prostate carcinoma cells, CAS, matched benign epithelium and benign epithelium-associated stroma by whole genome copy number analyses, targeted sequencing of TP53, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) of CAS revealed a copy-neutral diploid genome with only rare and small somatic copy number aberrations (SCNAs). In contrast, several expected recurrent SCNAs were evident in the adjacent prostate carcinoma cells, including gains at 3q, 7p, and 8q, and losses at 8p and 10q. No somatic TP53 mutations were observed in CAS. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extracted from carcinoma cells and stroma identified 23 somatic mtDNA mutations in neoplastic epithelial cells but only one mutation in stroma. Finally, genomic analyses identified no SCNAs, no loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or copy-neutral LOH in cultured cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are known to promote prostate cancer progression in vivo.
