Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consorti-um (Collaborators (1341)

Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the ad-vent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale. 1341 collaborators worked for the integrative analysis of 2,658 whole-cancer ge-nomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We describe the generation of

the PCAWG resource, facilitated by international data sharing using compute clouds. On average, cancer ge-nomes contained 4-5 driver mutations when combin-ing coding and non-coding genomic elements; how-ever, in around 5% of cases no drivers were identified, suggesting that cancer driver discovery is not yet complete. Chromothripsis, in which many clustered structural variants arise in a single catastrophic event, is frequently an early event in tumour evolution; in acral melanoma, for example, these events precede most somatic point mutations and affect several can-cer-associated genes simultaneously.

cal levels. Common and rare germline variants affect patterns of somatic mutation, including point muta-tions, structural variants and somatic retrotransposi-tion. A collection of papers from the PCAWG Consor-tium describes non-coding mutations that drive cancer beyond those in the TERT promoter; identifies new signatures of mutational processes that cause base substitutions, small insertions and deletions and structural variation; analyses timings and patterns of tumour evolution; describes the diverse transcrip-tional consequences of somatic mutation on splicing, expression levels, fusion genes and promoter activity; and evaluates a range of more-specialized features of cancer genomes

The supercomputer SHIROKANE of Human Ge-nome Center performed computational analyses as one of the six centers for this project.

2. Systems Cancer Research and Systems Biolo-gy

a. Divergent lncRNA MYMLR regulates MYC by eliciting DNA looping and promoter-enhancer interaction

Kajino T1, Shimamura T1, Gong S1, Yanagisawa K1, Ida L1, Nakatochi M1, Griesing S1, Shimada Y1, Kano K1, Suzuki M1, Miyano S, Takahashi T1,2; 1Na-goya University, 2Aichi Cancer Center

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) function in a wide range of processes by diverse mechanisms, though their roles in regulation of oncogenes and/or tumor suppressors remain rather elusive. We per-formed a global search for lncRNAs affecting MYC activity using a systems biology-based approach with a K supercomputer and the GIMLET algorism based on local distance correlations. Consequently, MYMLR was identified and experimentally shown to maintain MYC transcriptional activity and cell cycle progres-sion despite the low levels of expression. A proteomic search for MYMLR-binding proteins identified PCBP2, while it was also found that MYMLR places a 557-kb upstream enhancer region in the proximity of the MYC promoter in cooperation with PCBP2. These findings implicate a crucial role for MYMLR in regu-lation of the archetypical oncogene MYC and warrant future studies regarding the involvement of low copy number lncRNAs in regulation of other crucial onco-genes and tumor suppressor genes.

K computer at RIKEN performed the data analy-sis.

b. Virtual Grid Engine: a simulated grid engine environment for large-scale supercomputers

Ito S, Yadome M, Nishiki T3, Ishiduki S3, Inoue H3, Yamaguchi R2, Miyano S; 3Fujitsu Limited

Supercomputers have become indispensable in-

frastructures in science and industries. In particular, most state-of-the-art scientific results utilize massive-ly parallel supercomputers ranked in TOP500. How-ever, their use is still limited in the bioinformatics field due to the fundamental fact that the asynchro-nous parallel processing service of Grid Engine is not provided on them. To encourage the use of massively parallel supercomputers in bioinformatics, we devel-oped middleware called Virtual Grid Engine, which enables software pipelines to automatically perform their tasks as MPI programs.

We conducted basic tests to check the time re-quired to assign jobs to workers by VGE. The results showed that the overhead of the employed algorithm was 246 microseconds and our software can manage thousands of jobs smoothly on the K computer. We also tried a practical test in the bioinformatics field. This test included two tasks, the split and BWA align-ment of input FASTQ data. 25,055 nodes (2,000,440 cores) were used for this calculation and accom-plished it in three hours.

We considered that there were four important re-quirements for this kind of software, non-privilege server program, multiple job handling, dependency control, and usability. We carefully designed and checked all requirements. And this software fulfilled all the requirements and achieved good performance in a large scale analysis.

c. A Bayesian model integration for mutation calling through data partitioning

Moriyama T, Imoto S4, Hayashi S, Shiraishi Y5, Mi-yano S, Yamaguchi R; 4Health Intelligence Center, 5National Cancer Center

Detection of somatic mutations from tumor and matched normal sequencing data has become among the most important analysis methods in cancer re-search. Some existing mutation callers have focused on additional information, e.g. heterozygous sin-gle-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) nearby muta-tion candidates or overlapping paired-end read infor-mation. However, existing methods cannot take multiple information sources into account simultane-ously. Existing Bayesian hierarchical model-based methods construct two generative models, the tumor model and error model, and limited information sources have been modeled.

We proposed a Bayesian model integration frame-work named as partitioning-based model integration. In this framework, through introducing partitions for paired-end reads based on given information sources, we integrate existing generative models and utilize multiple information sources. Based on that, we con-structed a novel Bayesian hierarchical model-based method named as OHVarfinDer. In both the tumor model and error model, we introduced partitions for a set of paired-end reads that cover a mutation candi-

date position, and applied a different generative model for each category of paired-end reads. We demonstrated that our method can utilize both hete-rozygous SNP information and overlapping paired-end read information effectively in simulation data-sets and real datasets. The software application is available from https: //github.com/takumorizo/OHV arfinDer.

d. Accurate and flexible Bayesian mutation call from multi-regional tumor samples

Moriyama T, Imoto S4, Miyano S, Yamaguchi R2

We propose a Bayesian method termed MultiMuC for accurate detection of somatic mutations (mutation call) from multi-regional tumor sequence data sets. To improve detection performance, our method is based on the assumption of mutation sharing: if we can predict at least one tumor region has the muta-tion, then we can be more confident to detect a muta-tion in more tumor regions by lowering the original threshold of detection. We find two drawbacks in ex-isting methods for leveraging the assumption of mu-tation sharing. First, existing methods do not consider the probability of the “No-TP (True Positive)” case: we could expect mutation candidates in multiple regions, but actually, no true mutations exist. Second, existing methods cannot leverage scores from other state-of-the-art mutation calling methods for a single-regional tumor. We overcome the first drawback through eval-uation of the probability of the No-TP case. Next, we solve the second drawback by the idea of Bayes-fac-tor-based model construction that enables flexible in-tegration of probability-based mutation call scores as building blocks of a Bayesian statistical model. We empirically evaluate that our method steadily im-proves results from mutation calling methods for a single-regional tumor, e.g., Strelka2 and NeuSomatic, and outperforms existing methods for multi-regional tumors through a real-data-based simulation study. Our implementation of MultiMuC is available at https: //github.com/takumorizo/MultiMuC.

e. ALPHLARD-NT: Bayesian method for human leukocyte antigen genotyping and mutation calling through simultaneous analysis of nor-mal and tumor whole-genome sequence data

Hayashi S, Moriyama T, Yamaguchi R, Mizuno S6, Komura M, Miyano S, Nakagawa H7, Imoto S4; 6Kyusu University, 7RIKEN

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes provide useful information on the relationship between can-cer and the immune system. Despite the ease of ob-taining these data through next-generation sequenc-ing methods, interpretation of these relationships remains challenging owing to the complexity of HLA

genes. To resolve this issue, we developed a Bayesian method, ALPHLARD-NT, to identify HLA germline and somatic mutations as well as HLA genotypes from whole-exome sequencing (WES) and whole-ge-nome sequencing (WGS) data. ALPHLARD-NT showed 99.2% accuracy for WGS-based HLA geno-typing and detected five HLA somatic mutations in 25 colon cancer cases. In addition, ALPHLARD-NT identified 88 HLA somatic mutations, including re-current mutations and a novel HLA-B type, from WES data of 343 colon adenocarcinoma cases. These results demonstrate the potential of ALPHLARD-NT for conducting an accurate analysis of HLA genes even from low-coverage data sets. This method can become an essential tool for comprehensive analyses of HLA genes from WES and WGS data, helping to advance understanding of immune regulation in can-cer as well as providing guidance for novel immuno-therapy strategies.

Clonal expansion in aged normal tissues has been implicated in the development of cancer. However, the chronology and risk dependence of the expansion are poorly understood. Here we intensively sequence 682 micro-scale oesophageal samples and show, in physiologically normal oesophageal epithelia, the progressive age-related expansion of clones that carry mutations in driver genes (predominantly NOTCH1), which is substantially accelerated by alcohol con-sumption and by smoking. Driver-mutated clones emerge multifocally from early childhood and in-crease their number and size with ageing, and ulti-mately replace almost the entire oesophageal epitheli-um in the extremely elderly. Compared with mutations in oesophageal cancer, there is a marked overrepresentation of NOTCH1 and PPM1D muta-tions in physiologically normal oesophageal epithe-

lia; these mutations can be acquired before late ado-lescence (as early as early infancy) and significantly increase in number with heavy smoking and drink-ing. The remodelling of the oesophageal epithelium by driver-mutated clones is an inevitable consequence of normal ageing, which-depending on lifestyle risks-may affect cancer development.

Our DNA and RNA-sequence analysis pipe line Genomon (https: //github.com/Genomon-Project) on HGC supercomputer SHIROKANE played an impor-tant role in this study. We contributed to sequence data analysis and statistical methodology develop-ment using HGC supercomputer SHIROKANE.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is highly preva-lent in humans and is implicated in various diseases, including cancer. Chronic active EBV infection (CAEBV) is an intractable disease classified as a lym-phoproliferative disorder in the 2016 World Health Organization lymphoma classification. CAEBV is characterized by EBV-infected T/natural killer (NK) cells and recurrent/persistent infectious mononucleo-sis-like symptoms. Here, we show that CAEBV origi-nates from an EBV-infected lymphoid progenitor that acquires DDX3X and other mutations, causing clonal evolution comprising multiple cell lineages. Conspic-uously, the EBV genome in CAEBV patients har-boured frequent intragenic deletions (27/77) that were also common in various EBV-associated neoplastic disorders (28/61), including extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma and EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lym-phoma, but were not detected in infectious mononu-cleosis or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disor-ders (0/47), which suggests a unique role of these

mutations in neoplastic proliferation of EBV-infected cells. These deletions frequently affected BamHI A rightward transcript microRNA clusters (31 cases) and several genes that are essential for producing vi-ral particles (20 cases). The deletions observed in our study are thought to reactivate the lytic cycle by up-regulating the expression of two immediate early genes, BZLF1 and BRLF1, while averting viral pro-duction and subsequent cell lysis. In fact, the deletion of one of the essential genes, BALF5, resulted in up-regulation of the lytic cycle and the promotion of lym-phomagenesis in a xenograft model. Our findings highlight a pathogenic link between intragenic EBV deletions and EBV-associated neoplastic prolifera-tions.

Our DNA and RNA-sequence analysis pipe line Genomon on HGC supercomputer SHIROKANE played an important role in this study. We contribut-ed to sequence data analysis and statistical methodol-ogy development using HGC supercomputer SHI-ROKANE.

for relapse of acute myeloid leukemia and myelodys-plastic syndrome (AML/MDS) after undergoing mye-loablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell trans-plantation (alloSCT). We retrospectively collected tumor and available matched serum samples at diag-nosis and 1 and 3 months post-alloSCT from 53 pa-tients with AML/MDS. After identifying driver muta-tions in 51 patients using next-generation sequencing, we designed at least 1 personalized digital polymer-ase chain reaction assay per case. Diagnostic ctDNA and matched tumor DNA exhibited excellent correla-tions with variant allele frequencies. Sixteen patients relapsed after a median of 7 months post-alloSCT. Both mutation persistence (MP) in bone marrow (BM) at 1 and 3 months post-alloSCT and corresponding ctDNA persistence (CP) in the matched serum (MP1 and MP3; CP1 and CP3, respectively) were compara-bly associated with higher 3-year cumulative inci-dence of relapse (CIR) rates (MP1 vs non-MP1, 72.9% vs 13.8% [P = .0012]; CP1 vs non-CP1, 65.6% vs 9.0% [P = .0002]; MP3 vs non-MP3, 80% vs 11.6% [P = .0002]; CP3 vs non-CP3, 71.4% vs 8.4% [P < .0001]). We subsequently evaluated whether subset analysis of patients with 3 genes associated with clonal he-matopoiesis, DNMT3A, TET2, and ASXL1 (DTA), could also be helpful in relapse prediction. As a re-sult, CP based on DTA gene mutations also had the prognostic effect on CIR. These results, for the first time, support the utility of ctDNA as a noninvasive prognostic biomarker in patients with AML/MDS un-dergoing alloSCT.

b. The first case of elderly TCF3-HLF-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia

A 67-year-old man, who complained of persistent fever and general fatigue, was referred to our hospi-tal. Peripheral blood examination showed that white blood cell (WBC) count was elevated to 9.2 × 109/L, with 27.5% myeloperoxidase-negative blasts. Anemia (hemoglobin, 9.2 g/dL) and thrombocytopenia (plate-lets, 43 × 109/L) were also observed. Lactate dehydro-genase was elevated to approximately four times the upper normal limit. The patient also presented with severe DIC, hypercalcemia, and mild renal dysfunc-tion. Computed tomography (CT) revealed mild gen-eralized lymphadenopathy without hepatospleno-megaly and osteolytic changes in bones. Bone marrow (BM) aspiration showed infiltration of myeloperoxi-dase-negative blasts in 86% of the counted nuclear cells. Flowcytometric analysis showed that these blast cells were positive for CD10, CD19, cytoplasmic

CD79a, TdT, CD13, CD33, and HLA-DR. Cytogenetic analysis identified the chromosomal translocation t(17; 19)(q22; p13). Transcription of chimeric TCF3-HLF in leukemia cells was detected by reverse tran-scription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Hence, the patient was diagnosed with TCF3-HLF-positive B-ALL. He initially received standard chemotherapy for adult B-ALL, containing daunorubicin, cyclophos-phamide, vincristine (VCR), L-asparaginase, and prednisolone. After the chemotherapy was adminis-tered, the leukemia cell count decreased rapidly, ac-companied by amelioration of DIC and hypercalce-mia. However, the response was transient, resulting in primary induction failure. The leukemia cells re-grew with exacerbation of the complications. Four additional lines of conventional chemotherapies also failed to achieve durable remission. Thus, this case of leukemia appeared refractory to agents including glucocorticoids, L-asparaginase, anthracyclines, cy-clophosphamide, VCR, cytarabine (Ara-C), etopo-side, and methotrexate (MTX). At the end of the fifth chemotherapy, the patient lost consciousness due to intracerebral hemorrhage, followed by drastic growth of the leukemia cells and DIC. The patient died of leu-kemia five months after the initial diagnosis.

c. Development of an MSI-positive colon tumor with aberrant DNA methylation in a PPAP pa-tient

Polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) is a disease caused by germline variations in the POLE and POLD1 genes that encode catalytic sub-units of DNA polymerases. Studies of cancer genomes have identified somatic mutations in these genes, sug-gesting the importance of polymerase proofreading of DNA replication in suppressing tumorigenesis. Here, we identified a germline frameshift variation in the POLE gene (c.4191_4192delCT, p.Tyr1398*) in a case with multiple adenomatous polyps and three synchronous colon cancers. Interestingly, one of the colon cancers showed microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and another microsatellite stable. Immuno-histochemical staining revealed that the MSI-H tumor cells lost the expression of MLH1 protein. Whole ge-nome sequencing of the MSI-H tumor did not find pathogenic somatic mutations in mismatch repair genes but found frameshift mutations in the TET genes that catalyze 5-methylcytosine hydroxylation. Bisulfite sequencing of the tumor corroborated an in-crease in the number of hypermethylated regions in-cluding the MLH1 promoter. These data indicate that PPAP patients might develop MSI-positive tumors

through epigenetic silencing of MLH1. These findings will contribute to comprehensive understanding of

the molecular basis of tumors that involve deficiency of proofreading activity of DNA polymerases.
