Single-cell multimodal profiling of pan-cancer cell lines uncovers gene regulatory principles underlying intrinsic cell states and environmental features

ABSTRACT: Cancer arises from somatic mutations whose effects are executed through dysregulated gene-regulatory programs that reshape chromatin, transcription, and malignant phenotypes. To uncover gene regulatory principles underlying heterogeneous cancer cell states and their linked environmental features, here we present a pan-cancer single-cell, multi-omic atlas of human cancer cell lines, including a compendium of 240,957 transcriptomes and 223,347 chromatin-accessibility profiles from primary cancers spanning 20 tumor types. We revealed extensive pan-cancer cell-state heterogeneity, core gene-regulatory networks, and consensus epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) trajectories that transcend tissue of origin and are governed by conserved epigenomic and transcriptomic features. In addition, our copy-number variation analysis implicated transcription factor amplification, followed by hyperactive downstream regulation, as a major driver of malignant states. Further focused analysis of acral versus cutaneous melanoma cell lines uncovers a universal inflammation-suppressive program in acral melanoma versus an inflamed regulatory landscape in cutaneous melanoma, highlighting the JAK–STAT axis as a key discriminator. Finally, by integrating single-cell and bulk datasets across models and patient cohorts, we revealed tumor–microenvironment co-adaptation in vivo, and this was associated with immunotherapy responsiveness.

Acral Melanoma microRNA Ratio Classification

Project description:We performed microRNA sequencing of primary human FFPE Acral Melanoma (AM), Cutaneous Melanoma (CM), Acral Nevi (AN), and Cutaneous Nevi (CN). We found that previously identified ratios of microRNAs, particularly miR-21-5p and miR-211-5p, were able to accurately classify benign and malignant melanocytic neoplasia, both in non-acral cutaneous melanomas and nevi (CM vs CN), as well as matched acral melanoma and nevi (AM vs AN). Receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC) of Ensemble models trained using these microRNA ratios demonstrated AUCs of 0.88-0.90 across these melanoma subtypes, suggesting the potential utility of these ratios as a biomarker of malignancy in melanocytic neoplasia.

Anatomic position determines oncogenic specificity in melanoma

Project description:Oncogenic alterations to DNA are not transforming in all cellular contexts. This may be due to pre-existing transcriptional programs in the cell of origin. Here, we define anatomic position as a major determinant of why cells respond to specific oncogenes. Cutaneous melanoma arises throughout the body, whereas the acral subtype arises on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or under the nails. We sequenced the DNA of cutaneous and acral melanomas from a large cohort of human patients and found a specific enrichment for BRAF mutations in cutaneous melanoma but CRKL amplifications in acral melanoma. We modeled these changes in transgenic zebrafish models and found that CRKL-driven tumors predominantly formed in the fins of the fish. The fins are the evolutionary precursors to tetrapod limbs, indicating that melanocytes in these acral locations may be uniquely susceptible to CRKL. RNA profiling of these fin/limb melanocytes, compared to body melanocytes, revealed a positional identity gene program typified by posterior HOX13 genes. This positional gene program synergized with CRKL to drive tumors at acral sites. Abrogation of this CRKL-driven program eliminated the anatomic specificity of acral melanoma. These data suggest that the anatomic position of the cell of origin endows it with a unique transcriptional state that makes it susceptible to only certain oncogenic insults.

Cutaneous and acral melanoma cross-OMICs reveals prognostic cancer drivers associated with pathobiology and ultraviolet exposure

Project description:Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is causally linked to cutaneous melanoma, yet the underlying epigenetic mechanisms, known as molecular sensors of exposure, have never been characterized in clinical biospecimen. DNA methylome, genome and transcriptome analyses of cutaneous melanoma in two cohorts identified UV-related alterations in regulatory regions and immunological pathways and revealed novel cancer driver genes affecting patient survival. TAPBP, the top gene and a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, encompassed several CpG methylation sites altered by UV and independently validated by bisulfite pyrosequencing, providing cost-effective opportunities for clinical application. The DNA methylome also highlighted non UV-related aberrations underlying pathological differences between cutaneous and acral melanomas. Unsupervised epigenomic mapping demonstrated that non UV-mutant cutaneous melanoma more closely resembles acral rather than UV-exposed cutaneous melanoma, with the latter showing better patient prognosis than the other two forms. These gene-environment interactions in multi-ethnic backgrounds reveal translationally impactful mechanisms in melanomagenesis.

scRNA-seq of fin and body zebrafish melanocytes

Project description:Oncogenic alterations to DNA are not transforming in all cellular contexts. This may be due to pre-existing transcriptional programs in the cell of origin. Here, we define anatomic position as a major determinant of why cells respond to specific oncogenes. Cutaneous melanoma arises throughout the body, whereas the acral subtype arises on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or under the nails3. We sequenced the DNA of cutaneous and acral melanomas from a large cohort of human patients and found a specific enrichment for BRAF mutations in cutaneous melanoma but CRKL amplifications in acral melanoma. We modeled these changes in transgenic zebrafish models and found that CRKL-driven tumors predominantly formed in the fins of the fish.

Comparative quantitative proteomic analysis of melanoma subtypes, nevus-associated melanoma, and corresponding nevi

Project description:A substantial part of cutaneous malignant melanomas develops from benign nevi. However, the precise molecular events driving the transformation from benign to malignant melanoma are not well understood. We used laser microdissection and mass spectrometry to analyze the proteomes of melanoma subtypes, including superficial spreading melanomas (SSM, n=17), nodular melanomas (NM, n=17), and acral melanomas (AM, n=15). Furthermore, we compared the proteomes of nevi cells and melanoma cells within the same specimens (nevus-associated melanoma (NAM, n=14)). In total, we quantified 7,935 proteins. Despite the genomic and clinical differences of the melanoma subtypes, our analysis revealed relatively similar proteomes, except for the upregulation of proteins involved in immune activation in NM vs AM. Examining NAM versus nevi, we found 1,725 differentially expressed proteins. Among these proteins were 140 that overlapped with cancer hallmarks, tumor suppressors, and regulators of metabolism and cell cycle. Pathway analysis indicated aberrant activation of the RAS/MAPK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathways, as well as the Hippo-YAP pathway. Using a classifier, we identified six proteins capable of distinguishing melanoma from nevi samples. Our study represents the first comprehensive comparative analysis of the proteome in melanoma subtypes and associated nevi, offering new insights into the biological behavior of these distinct entities.

Single-cell profiling of acral melanoma infiltrating lymphocytes reveals a suppressive tumor microenvironment

Project description:Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is the most common melanoma subtype in non-Caucasians. Despite advances in cancer immunotherapy, current immune checkpoint inhibitors remain unsatisfactory for ALM. Hence, we conducted comprehensive immune profiling using single-cell phenotyping with reactivity screening of the T cell receptors of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) in ALM. Compared with cutaneous melanoma, ALM showed a lower frequency of tumor-reactive CD8 clusters and an enrichment of regulatory T cells with direct tumor recognition ability, suggesting a suppressive immune microenvironment in ALM. Tumor-reactive CD8 TILs showed heterogeneous expression of coinhibitory molecules, including KLRC1 (NKG2A), in subpopulations with therapeutic implications. Overall, our study provides a foundation for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy in ALM.

Whole genome landscapes of major melanoma subtypes

Project description:Cutaneous, acral and mucosal subtypes of melanoma were evaluated by whole-genome sequencing, revealing genes affected by novel recurrent mutations to the promoter (TERT, DPH3, OXNAD1, RPL13A, RALY, RPL18A, AP2A1), 5’-UTR (HNRNPUL1, CCDC77, PES1), and 3’-UTR (DYNAP, CHIT1, FUT9, CCDC141, CDH9, PTPRT) regions. TERT promoter mutations had the highest frequency of any mutation, but neither they nor ATRX mutations, associated with the alternative telomere lengthening mechanism, were correlated with greater telomere length. Genomic landscapes largely reflected ultraviolet radiation mutagenesis in cutaneous melanoma and provided novel insights into melanoma pathogenesis. In contrast, acral and mucosal melanomas exhibited predominantly structural changes, and mutation signatures of unknown aetiology not previously identified in melanoma. The majority of melanomas had potentially actionable mutations, most of which were in components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphoinositol kinase pathways.
