    Abstract Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) is a heterogeneous disease and at least two major studies have recently provided a molecular classification for this tumor: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Asian Cancer Research Group (ARCG). Both classifications quote four molecular subtypes, but these subtypes only partially overlap. In addition, the classifications are based on complex and cost-intensive technologies, which are hardly feasible for everyday practice. Therefore, simplified approaches using immunohistochemistry (IHC), in situ hybridization (ISH) as well as commercially available next generation sequencing (NGS) have been considered for routine use. In the present study, we screened 115 GAC by IHC for p53, MutL Homolog 1 (MLH1) and E-cadherin and performed ISH for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In addition, sequencing by NGS for TP53 and tumor associated genes was performed. With this approach, we were able to define five subtypes of GAC: (1) Microsatellite Instable (MSI), (2) EBV-associated, (3) Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition (EMT)-like, (4) p53 aberrant tumors surrogating for chromosomal instability and (5) p53 proficient tumors surrogating for genomics stable cancers. Furthermore, by considering lymph node metastasis in the p53 aberrant GAC, a better prognostic stratification was achieved which finally allowed us to separate the GAC highly significant in a group with poor and good-to-intermediate prognosis, respectively. Our data show that molecular classification of GAC can be achieved by using commercially available assays including IHC, ISH and NGS. Furthermore, we present an integrative workflow, which has the potential to overcome the uncertainty resulting from discrepancies from existing classification schemes.

    Abstract Identification of bacterial pathogens in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples is limited to targeted and resource-intensive methods such as sequential PCR analyses. To enable unbiased screening for pathogens in FFPE tissue samples, we established a whole genome sequencing (WGS) method that combines shotgun sequencing and metagenomics for taxonomic identification of bacterial pathogens after subtraction of human genomic reads. To validate the assay, we analyzed more than 100 samples of known composition as well as FFPE lung autopsy tissues with and without histological signs of infections. Metagenomics analysis confirmed the pathogenic species that were previously identified by species-specific PCR in 62% of samples, showing that metagenomics is less sensitive than species-specific PCR. On the other hand, metagenomics analysis identified pathogens in samples, which had been tested negative for multiple common microorganisms and showed histological signs of infection. This highlights the ability of this assay to screen for unknown pathogens and detect multi-microbial infections which is not possible by histomorphology and species-specific PCR alone.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mortality can be estimated based on reliable mortality data. Variable testing procedures and heterogeneous disease course suggest that a substantial number of COVID-19 deaths is undetected. To address this question, we screened an unselected autopsy cohort for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and a panel of common respiratory pathogens. Lung tissues from 62 consecutive autopsies, conducted during the first and second COVID-19 pandemic waves in Switzerland, were analyzed for bacterial, viral and fungal respiratory pathogens including SARS-CoV-2. SARS-CoV-2 was detected in 28 lungs of 62 deceased patients (45%), although only 18 patients (29%) were reported to have COVID-19 at the time of death. In 23 patients (37% of all), the clinical cause of death and/or autopsy findings together with the presence of SARS-CoV-2 suggested death due to COVID-19. Our autopsy results reveal a 16% higher SARS-CoV-2 infection rate and an 8% higher SARS-CoV-2 related mortality rate than reported by clinicians before death. The majority of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients (75%) did not suffer from respiratory co-infections, as long as they were treated with antibiotics. In the lungs of 5 patients (8% of all), SARS-CoV-2 was found, yet without typical clinical and/or autopsy findings. Our findings suggest that underreporting of COVID-19 contributes substantially to excess mortality. The small percentage of co-infections in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients who died with typical COVID-19 symptoms strongly suggests that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients died from and not with the virus.

    Abstract Molecular or immunological differences between responders and nonresponders to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs) remain incompletely understood. To address this question, we performed next-generation sequencing, methylation analysis, genome wide copy number analysis, targeted RNA sequencing and T-cell receptor sequencing, and we studied frequencies of tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, presence of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and PD-L1 expression in 8 treatment-naive ccRCC patients subsequently treated with ICI (3 responders, 5 nonresponders). Unexpectedly, we identified decreased frequencies of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating T cells and TLS, and a decreased expression of PD-L1 in ICI responders when compared with nonresponders. However, neither tumor-specific genetic alterations nor gene expression profiles correlated with response to ICI or the observed immune features. Our results underline the challenge to stratify ccRCC patients for immunotherapy based on routinely available pathologic primary tumor material, even with advanced technologies. Our findings emphasize the analysis of pretreated metastatic tissue in line with recent observations describing treatment effects on the tumor microenvironment. In addition, our data call for further investigation of additional parameters in a larger ccRCC cohort to understand the mechanistic implications of the observed differences in tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cells, TLS, and PD-L1 expression.

    Abstract While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily affects the respiratory tract, pathophysiological changes of the cardiovascular system remain to be elucidated. We performed a retrospective cardiopathological analysis of the heart and vasculature from 23 autopsies of COVID-19 patients, comparing the findings with control tissue. Myocardium from autopsies of COVID-19 patients was categorised into severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positive (n = 14) or negative (n = 9) based on the presence of viral RNA as determined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Control tissue was selected from autopsies without COVID-19 (n = 10) with similar clinical sequelae. Histological characteristics were scored by ordinal and/or categorical grading. Five RT-PCR-positive cases underwent in situ hybridisation (ISH) for SARS-CoV-2. Patients with lethal COVID-19 infection were mostly male (78%) and had a high incidence of hypertension (91%), coronary artery disease (61%), and diabetes mellitus (48%). Patients with positive myocardial RT-PCR died earlier after hospital admission (5 versus 12 days, p < 0.001) than patients with negative RT-PCR. An increased severity of fibrin deposition, capillary dilatation, and microhaemorrhage was observed in RT-PCR-positive myocardium than in negatives and controls, with a positive correlation amongst these factors All cases with increased cardioinflammatory infiltrate, without myocyte necrosis (n = 4) or with myocarditis (n = 1), were RT-PCR negative. ISH revealed positivity of viral RNA in interstitial cells. Myocardial capillary dilatation, fibrin deposition, and microhaemorrhage may be the histomorphological correlate of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy. Increased cardioinflammation including one case of myocarditis was only detected in RT-PCR-negative hearts with significantly longer hospitalisation time. This may imply a secondary immunological response warranting further characterisation.
