Abstract
Tumor-infiltrating B and plasma cells (TIB) are prevalent in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD); however, they are poorly characterized. We performed paired single-cell RNA and B-cell receptor (BCR) sequencing of 16 early-stage LUADs and 47 matching multiregion normal tissues. By integrative analysis of ∼50,000 TIBs, we define 12 TIB subsets in the LUAD and adjacent normal ecosystems and demonstrate extensive remodeling of TIBs in LUADs. Memory B cells and plasma cells (PC) were highly enriched in tumor tissues with more differentiated states and increased frequencies of somatic hypermutation. Smokers exhibited markedly elevated PCs and PCs with distinct differentiation trajectories. BCR clonotype diversity increased but clonality decreased in LUADs, smokers, and with increasing pathologic stage. TIBs were mostly localized within CXCL13+ lymphoid aggregates, and immune cell sources of CXCL13 production evolved with LUAD progression and included elevated fractions of CD4 regulatory T cells. This study provides a spatial landscape of TIBs in early-stage LUAD. SIGNIFICANCE While TIBs are highly enriched in LUADs, they are poorly characterized. This study provides a much-needed understanding of the transcriptional, clonotypic states and phenotypes of TIBs, unraveling their potential roles in the immunopathology of early-stage LUADs and constituting a road map for the development of TIB-targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of this morbid malignancy.

Abstract
To explore the role of clonal hematopoiesis (CH) in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy outcomes, we performed targeted deep sequencing on buffy coats collected during the 21 days before lymphodepleting chemotherapy from 114 large B-cell lymphoma patients treated with anti-CD19 CAR T cells. We detected CH in 42 (36.8%) pretreatment samples, most frequently in PPM1D (19/114) and TP53 (13/114) genes. Grade ≥3 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) incidence was higher in CH-positive patients than CH-negative patients (45.2% vs. 25.0%, P = 0.038). Higher toxicities with CH were primarily associated with DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 genes (DTA mutations). Grade ≥3 ICANS (58.9% vs. 25%, P = 0.02) and ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (17.7% vs. 4.2%, P = 0.08) incidences were higher in DTA-positive than in CH-negative patients. The estimated 24-month cumulative incidence of therapy-related myeloid neoplasms after CAR T-cell therapy was higher in CH-positive than CH-negative patients [19% (95% CI, 5.5-38.7) vs. 4.2% (95% CI, 0.3-18.4), P = 0.028]. SIGNIFICANCE Our study reveals that CH mutations, especially those associated with inflammation (DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1), are associated with severe-grade neurotoxicities in lymphoma patients receiving anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy. Further studies to investigate the mechanisms and interventions to improve toxicities in the context of CH are warranted. See related content by Uslu and June, p. 382.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a rare cancer of skin-homing T cells. A subgroup of patients develops large cell transformation with rapid progression to an aggressive lymphoma. Here, we investigated the transformed CTCL (tCTCL) tumor ecosystem using integrative multiomics spanning whole-exome sequencing (WES), single-cell RNA sequencing, and immune profiling in a unique cohort of 56 patients. WES of 70 skin biopsies showed high tumor mutation burden, UV signatures that are prognostic for survival, exome-based driver events, and most recurrently mutated pathways in tCTCL. Single-cell profiling of 16 tCTCL skin biopsies identified a core oncogenic program with metabolic reprogramming toward oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), cellular plasticity, upregulation of MYC and E2F activities, and downregulation of MHC I suggestive of immune escape. Pharmacologic perturbation using OXPHOS and MYC inhibitors demonstrated potent antitumor activities, whereas immune profiling provided in situ evidence of intercellular communications between malignant T cells expressing macrophage migration inhibitory factor and macrophages and B cells expressing CD74. SIGNIFICANCE Our study contributes a key resource to the community with the largest collection of tCTCL biopsies that are difficult to obtain. The multiomics data herein provide the first comprehensive compendium of genomic alterations in tCTCL and identify potential prognostic signatures and novel therapeutic targets for an incurable T-cell lymphoma.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection causes 600,000 new cancers worldwide each year. HPV-related cancers express the oncogenic proteins E6 and E7, which could serve as tumor-specific antigens. It is not known whether immunity to E6 and E7 evolves during chemoradiotherapy or affects survival. Using T cells from 2 HPV16+ patients, we conducted functional T-cell assays to identify candidate HPV-specific T cells and common T-cell receptor motifs, which we then analyzed across 86 patients with HPV-related cancers. The HPV-specific clones and E7-related T-cell receptor motifs expanded in the tumor microenvironment over the course of treatment, whereas non-HPV-specific T cells did not. In HPV16+ patients, improved recurrence-free survival was associated with HPV-responsive T-cell expansion during chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with limited treatment options. VEGF inhibition enhances efficacy of immune-checkpoint inhibitors by reworking the immunosuppressive tumor milieu. Efficacy and safety of combined PD-L1 (atezolizumab) and VEGF (bevacizumab) blockade (AtezoBev) was assessed in 20 patients with advanced and unresectable MPeM with progression or intolerance to prior platinum-pemetrexed chemotherapy. The primary endpoint of confirmed objective response rate per RECISTv1.1 by independent radiology review was 40% (8/20; 95%CI:19.1-64.0) with median response duration of 12.8 months. Six (75%) responses lasted for >10 months. Progression-free and overall survival at 1-year were 61% (95%CI:35-80) and 85% (95%CI:60-95), respectively. Responses occurred notwithstanding low tumor mutation burden and PD-L1 expression status. Baseline epithelial-mesenchymal transition gene-expression correlated with therapeutic resistance/response (r=0.80; P=0.0010). AtezoBev showed promising and durable efficacy in patients with advanced MPeM with acceptable safety profile and these results address a grave unmet need for this orphan disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs) are pathologically classified into several widely diverse subtypes, of which adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC), and salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) are the most commonly encountered. A comparative genetic analysis of these subtypes provides detailed information on the genetic alterations that are associated with their tumorigenesis and may lead to the identification of biomarkers to guide tumor-specific clinical trials. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Whole-genome sequencing of 58 common SGCs (20 ACCs, 20 SDCs, and 18 MECs) was performed to catalog structural variations, copy number, rearrangements, and driver mutations. Data were bioinformatically analyzed and correlated with clinicopathologic parameters, and selected targets were validated. RESULTS Novel and recurrent type-specific and shared genetic alterations were identified within and among 3 subtypes. Mutually exclusive canonical fusion and nonfusion genomic alterations were identified in both ACC and MEC. In ACCs, loss of chromosome 12q was dominant in MYB or MYBL1 fusion-positive tumors and mutations of NOTCH pathway were more common in these fusion negatives. In MECs, CRTC1-MAML2 fusion-positive tumors showed frequent BAP1 mutation, and tumors lacking this fusion were enriched with LRFN1 mutation. SDCs displayed considerable genetic instability, lacked recurrent chromosomal rearrangements, and demonstrated nonoverlapping TP53 mutation and ERBB2 amplification in a subset of tumors. Limited genetic alterations, including focal amplifications of 8q21-q23, were shared by all subtypes and were associated with poor survival. CONCLUSIONS This study delineates type-specific and shared genetic alterations that are associated with early phenotypic commitment and the biologic progression of common SGCs. These alterations, upon validation, could serve as biomarkers in tumor-specific clinical trials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The heterogeneity of TNBC results in a spectrum of responses to NAST: 30-40% of patients (pts) have a pathologic complete response (pCR) with an excellent prognosis. Several methods have been used to measure and evaluate residual disease, including ultrasound, MRI scans, histo-pathology. In addition to these, we hypothesize that comprehensive molecular profiling of longitudinal biopsies, with an integrative evaluation of sub-clonal selection and changes in molecular pathways, will serve as a critical biomarker for chemotherapy, and subsequent targeted therapy trials.
Methods: Pts with stage I-III TNBC began a planned 4 cycles of Adriamycin-based chemo (AC). Biopsies were performed pre (mandatory) and post (optional) AC. Volumetric change by ultrasound (VUS) at completion of AC (or progression) was calculated. Pts with sensitive disease received subsequent taxane-based (T) therapy. Pts with insensitive disease were offered phase II trials. Pathologic response was assessed at surgical resection in 85 pts (Training N=55, Validation N=30). Matched samples, pre and post AC (N = 85 pts) underwent transcriptomic and genomic profiling. Samples were classified into six previously identified ARTEMIS subtypes of TNBC (ART-Type) and immune deconvolution and estimation were performed using RNA-Seq profiles. Multiplex IHC using the Vectra platform is being used to validate results from bulk RNASeq experiments. Somatic mutations and copy-number changes were evaluated using, Mutect2, Sequenza (and FACETs), and PhyloWGS (and PyClone).
Results: Predominately, tumors reacted to AC in 4 different patterns with variation in immune and EMT related pathways. Enrichment of EMT (Group 4) was associated with poor prognosis and higher RCB (10.3% vs 42% pCR rates, p<0.05). The global changes in transcription led to ART-Type switching in all subtypes (44% of pts), except LAR subtype. This subtype was enriched in Group 3 (low overall change), and associated with PIK3CA mutations. MYC amplification was more prevalent (40%) in Group 4, associated with higher EMT and poor prognosis than other groups (28%). Multiple time points were leveraged to constrain sub-clonal clustering and enhance the accuracy of phylogenetic tree construction. Significant sub-clonal selection was detected in 22% of evaluable cases with pre and post biopsies (N=55), with analysis of the validation cohort underway. Molecular subtypes were marginally associated with overall and progression-free survival.
Conclusions: Molecular profiling of longitudinal TNBC samples reveals distinct response patterns in tumors and their micro-environments upon treatment with AC. Integrative analysis of genomic and transcriptomic changes can lead to better stratification of response to NAST. These patterns were indicative of pathologic response in the initial cohort (N=55). Analysis of the second cohort (N=30) will be presented as a validation cohort.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are a class of RNAs that is under increasing scrutiny, although their functional roles are debated. We analyzed RNA-seq data of 348 primary breast cancers and developed a method to identify circRNAs that does not rely on unmapped reads or known splice junctions. We identified 95,843 circRNAs, of which 20,441 were found recurrently. Of the circRNAs that match exon boundaries of the same gene, 668 showed a poor or even negative (R < 0.2) correlation with the expression level of the linear gene. In silico analysis showed only a minority (8.5%) of circRNAs could be explained by known splicing events. Both these observations suggest that specific regulatory processes for circRNAs exist. We confirmed the presence of circRNAs of CNOT2, CREBBP, and RERE in an independent pool of primary breast cancers. We identified circRNA profiles associated with subgroups of breast cancers and with biological and clinical features, such as amount of tumor lymphocytic infiltrate and proliferation index. siRNA-mediated knockdown of circCNOT2 was shown to significantly reduce viability of the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and BT-474, further underlining the biological relevance of circRNAs. Furthermore, we found that circular, and not linear, CNOT2 levels are predictive for progression-free survival time to aromatase inhibitor (AI) therapy in advanced breast cancer patients, and found that circCNOT2 is detectable in cell-free RNA from plasma. We showed that circRNAs are abundantly present, show characteristics of being specifically regulated, are associated with clinical and biological properties, and thus are relevant in breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Triple-negative breast cancer is a highly diverse group of cancers, with poor prognosis, and currently, there are no targeted drugs available in the clinic. In TNBC around 50% percent of the patients respond to chemotherapy, while, the other 50% percent relapse with poor prognosis. There is a need to understand better the targetable mechanisms driving TNBC via integrative analysis of gene-expression, copy-number, and mutational data.
Samples from 220 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) pts treated with NACT were prioritized for transcriptomic and genomic profiling. Non-negative matrix factorization was used on array-based profiling to identify six robust (ARTEMIS) subtypes. Comparing ARTEMIS subtypes with Vanderbilt subtypes, revealed significant overlap with 4/6 clusters while identifying two new clusters. Logistic regression on ssGSEA scores vs. subtypes revealed several pathways, selectively enriched specific subtypes. CL1/IM (Immune subtype), was enriched in INFg and INFa, while CL2 (MYC/mTOR), showed enrichment of several proliferation-related pathways. In addition, LAR and M (Mesenchymal) pts formed overlapping clusters, using either method.
Two new subtypes did not associate significantly with any of the previous subtypes. The majority of the tumors from the Vanderbilt BL2 and MSL were reclassified into a CL5 (ANGIO) cluster, which was enriched in angiogenesis geneset, including targetable genes like VEGF and FGFR. Also, an MYO (CL3) subtype was identified, with myogenesis-related genes. Of note, TIL (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) and LAR quantification using IHC were associated with respective ARTEMIS subtypes. Finally, the IM subtype was significantly associated with higher rates of RCB 0-I and the M (CL4) subtype was associated with higher rates of RCB II-III, irrespective of the neoadjuvant treatment regimen.
ARTEMIS subtypes are a novel classification system for TNBC that is focused on therapeutic translation. Further, we show a possibility to classify previously un-classified (UNS) tumors, which will be validated using additional cohorts (TCGA/METABRIC).

Abstract
Studies of microbial communities by targeted sequencing of rRNA genes lead to recovering numerous rare low-abundance taxa with unknown biological roles. We propose to study associations of such rare organisms with their environments by a computational framework based on transformation of the data into qualitative variables. Namely, we analyze the sparse table of putative species or OTUs (operational taxonomic units) and samples generated in such studies, also known as an OTU table, by collecting statistics on co-occurrences of the species and on shared species richness across samples. Based on the statistics we built two association networks, of the rare putative species and of the samples respectively, using a known computational technique, Association networks (Anets) developed for analysis of qualitative data. Clusters of samples and clusters of OTUs are then integrated and combined with metadata of the study to produce a map of associated putative species in their environments. We tested and validated the framework on two types of microbiomes, of human body sites and that of the Populus tree root systems. We show that in both studies the associations of OTUs can separate samples according to environmental or physiological characteristics of the studied systems.

Abstract
The panel of 60 human cancer cell lines (the NCI-60) assembled by the National Cancer Institute for anticancer drug discovery is a widely used resource. We previously sequenced 24 cancer genes in those cell lines. Eleven of the genes were found to be mutated in three or more of the lines. Using a pharmacogenomic approach, we analyzed the relationship between drug activity and mutations in those 11 genes (APC, RB1, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, PTEN, STK11, MADH4, TP53, and CDKN2A). That analysis identified an association between mutation in BRAF and the antiproliferative potential of phenothiazine compounds. Phenothiazines have been used as antipsychotics and as adjunct antiemetics during cancer chemotherapy and more recently have been reported to have anticancer properties. However, to date, the anticancer mechanism of action of phenothiazines has not been elucidated. To follow up on the initial pharmacologic observations in the NCI-60 screen, we did pharmacologic experiments on 11 of the NCI-60 cell lines and, prospectively, on an additional 24 lines. The studies provide evidence that BRAF mutation (codon 600) in melanoma as opposed to RAS mutation is predictive of an increase in sensitivity to phenothiazines as determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt assay (Wilcoxon P = 0.007). That pattern of increased sensitivity to phenothiazines based on the presence of codon 600 BRAF mutation may be unique to melanomas, as we do not observe it in a panel of colorectal cancers. The findings reported here have potential implications for the use of phenothiazines in the treatment of V600E BRAF mutant melanoma.

Abstract
Cancers arise because of the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal programs of cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAP kinase pathway mediates cellular responses to growth signals. RAS is mutated to an oncogenic form in approximately 15% of human cancer. The three RAF genes code for cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by binding RAS. ARAF and c-RAF are infrequently mutated in human cancer. However, BRAF is mutated in a wide range of human cancers. Most mutations are within the kinase domain, with a single amino acid substitution (V600E) accounting for most mutations.

Abstract
The known susceptibility genes for breast cancer, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, only account for a minority of the familial aggregation of the disease. A recent study of 77 multiple case breast cancer families from Scandinavia found evidence of linkage between the disease and polymorphic markers on chromosome 13q21. We have evaluated the contribution of this candidate "BRCA3" locus to breast cancer susceptibility in 128 high-risk breast cancer families of Western European ancestry with no identified BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. No evidence of linkage was found. The estimated proportion (alpha) of families linked to a susceptibility locus at D13S1308, the location estimated by Kainu et al. [(2000) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 97, 9603-9608], was 0 (upper 95% confidence limit 0.13). Adjustment for possible bias due to selection of families on the basis of linkage evidence at BRCA2 did not materially alter this result (alpha = 0, upper 95% confidence limit 0.18). The proportion of linked families reported by Kainu et al. (0.65) is excluded with a high degree of confidence in our dataset [heterogeneity logarithm of odds (HLOD) at alpha = 0.65 was -11.0]. We conclude that, if a susceptibility gene does exist at this locus, it can only account for a small proportion of non-BRCA1/2 families with multiple cases of early-onset breast cancer.
