    • Transcript alterations often result from somatic changes in cancer genomes1. Various forms of RNA alterations have been described in cancer, including overexpression2, altered splicing3 and gene fusions4; however, it is difficult to attribute these to underlying genomic changes owing to heterogeneity among patients and tumour types, and the relatively small cohorts of patients for whom samples have been analysed by both transcriptome and whole-genome sequencing. Here we present, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive catalogue of cancer-associated gene alterations to date, obtained by characterizing tumour transcriptomes from 1,188 donors of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)5. Using matched whole-genome sequencing data, we associated several categories of RNA alterations with germline and somatic DNA alterations, and identified probable genetic mechanisms. Somatic copy-number alterations were the major drivers of variations in total gene and allele-specific expression. We identified 649 associations of somatic single-nucleotide variants with gene expression in cis, of which 68.4% involved associations with flanking non-coding regions of the gene. We found 1,900 splicing alterations associated with somatic mutations, including the formation of exons within introns in proximity to Alu elements. In addition, 82% of gene fusions were associated with structural variants, including 75 of a new class, termed 'bridged' fusions, in which a third genomic location bridges two genes. We observed transcriptomic alteration signatures that differ between cancer types and have associations with variations in DNA mutational signatures. This compendium of RNA alterations in the genomic context provides a rich resource for identifying genes and mechanisms that are functionally implicated in cancer.

  • Loss of function mutations of BCOR in classical Hodgkin lymphoma
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Leukemia and Lymphoma. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1042-8194 .- 1029-2403. ; 63:5, s. 1080-1090

    • BCOR is a component of a variant Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1.1). PRC1 and PRC2 complexes together constitute a major gene regulatory system critical for appropriate cellular differentiation. The gene is upregulated in germinal center (GC) B cells and mutated in a number of hematologic malignancies. We report BCOR inactivating alterations in 4/7 classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) cell lines, subclonal somatic mutations in Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells of 4/10 cHL cases, and deletions in HRS cells of 7/17 primary cHL cases. In mice, conditional loss of Bcor driven by AID-Cre in GC B cells resulted in gene expression changes of 46 genes (>2-fold) including upregulated Lef1 that encodes a transcription factor responsible for establishing T-cell identity and Il9r (interleukin-9 receptor), an important member of the cytokine network in cHL. Our findings suggest a role for BCOR loss in cHL pathogenesis and GC-B cell homeostasis.

  • Combined Heterozygous Genetic Variations in Complement C2 and C8B : An Explanation for Multidimensional Immune Imbalance?
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Journal of Innate Immunity. - : S. Karger. - 1662-811X .- 1662-8128. ; 15:1, s. 412-427

    • The complement system plays a crucial role in host defense, homeostasis, and tissue regeneration and bridges the innate and the adaptive immune systems. Although the genetic variants in complement C2 (c.839_849+17del; p.(Met280Asnfs*5)) and C8B (c.1625C>T; p.(Thr542Ile)) are known individually, here, we report on a patient carrying their combination in a heterozygous form. The patient presented with a reduced general condition and suffers from a wide variety of autoimmune diseases. While no autoimmune disease-specific autoantibodies could be detected, genetic analysis revealed abnormalities in the two complement genes C2 and C8B. Therefore, we performed a comprehensive investigation of the innate immune system on a cellular and humoral level to define the functional consequences. We found slightly impaired functionality of neutrophils and monocytes regarding phagocytosis and reactive oxygen species generation and a diminished expression of the C5aR1. An extensive complement analysis revealed a declined activation potential for the alternative and classical pathway. Reconstitution with purified C2 and C8 into patient serum failed to normalize the dysfunction, whereas the addition of C3 improved the hemolytic activity. In clinical transfer, in vitro supplementation of the patient's plasma with FFP as a complement source could fully restore full complement functionality. This study describes for the first time a combined heterozygous genetic variation in complement C2 and C8B which, however, cannot fully explain the overall dysfunctions and calls for further complement deficiency research and corresponding therapies.
