    Abstract The use of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in liquid biopsy as a biomarker is becoming the new paradigm for the screening and surveillance of breast and many other cancers. Liquid biopsies provide prognostic and predictive information without the limitations of tissue biopsies. Most early studies of the use of ctDNA focused on metastatic disease. However, recent advancements in ctDNA technologies have improved sensitivity and selectivity, allowing ctDNA to be detected in early-stage disease, including early-stage breast cancer. Despite a clear potential for utility, the implementation of ctDNA liquid biopsy in standard of care is significantly lacking. Researchers and clinicians are currently working to validate the clinical utility of ctDNA in diagnostics, prognostics, the surveillance of minimal residual disease, and the monitoring of therapeutic response. This review summarizes the current applications of ctDNA in early-stage breast cancer and discusses its potential uses in clinical practice.

    Abstract Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is characterized by the expansion of hematopoietic cells harboring leukemia-associated somatic mutations in otherwise healthy people and occurs in at least 10% of adults over 70. It is well established that people with CHIP have increased rates of hematologic malignancy, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and worse all-cause mortality compared with those without CHIP. Despite recent advancements in understanding CHIP as it relates to these known outcomes, much remains to be learned about the development and role of CHIP in other disease states. Emerging research has identified high rates of CHIP in patients with solid tumors, driven in part by oncologic therapy, and revealed associations between CHIP and differential outcomes in both solid tumors and other diseases. Recent studies have demonstrated that CHIP can contribute to dysregulated inflammatory signaling in multiple contexts, underscoring the importance of interrogating how CHIP might alter tumor immunology. Here, we review the role of CHIP mutations in clonal expansion of hematopoietic cells, explore the relationship between CHIP and solid tumors, and discuss the potential roles of CHIP in inflammation and solid tumor biology.

    Abstract Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a component of the "naked" DNA found in blood. It can be isolated from plasma and represents combined genetic material from the primary tumor and metastases. Quantitative and qualitative information about a cancer, including mutations, can be derived using digital polymerase chain reaction and other technologies. This "liquid biopsy" is quicker and more easily repeated than tissue biopsy, yields real-time information about the cancer, and may suggest therapeutic options. All stages of cancer therapy have the ability to benefit from ctDNA, starting with screening for cancer before it is clinically apparent. During treatment of metastatic disease, it is useful to predict response and monitor disease progression. Currently, ctDNA is used in the clinic to select patients who may benefit from epidermal growth factor receptor-targeted therapy in non-small cell lung cancer. In the future, ctDNA technology promises useful applications in every part of clinical oncology care.

    Abstract CDK4/6 inhibitors are remarkable anti-cancer drugs that can arrest tumor cells in G1 and induce their senescence while causing only relatively mild toxicities in healthy tissues. How they achieve this mechanistically is unclear. We show here that tumor cells are specifically vulnerable to CDK4/6 inhibition because during the G1 arrest, oncogenic signals drive toxic cell overgrowth. This overgrowth causes permanent cell cycle withdrawal by either preventing progression from G1 or inducing genotoxic damage during the subsequent S-phase and mitosis. Inhibiting or reverting oncogenic signals that converge onto mTOR can rescue this excessive growth, DNA damage, and cell cycle exit in cancer cells. Conversely, inducing oncogenic signals in non-transformed cells can drive these toxic phenotypes and sensitize the cells to CDK4/6 inhibition. Together, this demonstrates that cell cycle arrest and oncogenic cell growth is a synthetic lethal combination that is exploited by CDK4/6 inhibitors to induce tumor-specific toxicity.

    Abstract Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has garnered much excitement over the past few years for its potential clinical utility as a surrogate for tumor biopsies in early cancer detection and prognosis. Numerous studies have demonstrated that ctDNA is shed into the circulation and is elevated in disease states such as cancer. Despite the low levels of ctDNA in the "sea" of normal DNA, advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) and digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technologies have led to dramatic improvements in variant detection sensitivity and specificity. These technologies allow the quantification of ctDNA, providing both prognostic and predictive information. Here, we review the history of cell-free DNA and different technologies for the detection of ctDNA in cancer and describe the different modalities for using ctDNA in clinical oncology.

    Abstract Abtract: Clinical circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) testing is now routine, however test accuracy remains limited. By understanding the life-cycle of cfDNA, we might identify opportunities to increase test performance. Here, we profile cfDNA release across a 24-cell line panel and utilize a cell-free CRISPR screen (cfCRISPR) to identify mediators of cfDNA release. Our panel outlines two distinct groups of cell lines: one which releases cfDNA fragmented similarly to clinical samples and purported as characteristic of apoptosis, and another which releases larger fragments associated with vesicular or necrotic DNA. Our cfCRISPR screens reveal that genes mediating cfDNA release are primarily involved with apoptosis, but also identify other subsets of genes such as RNA binding proteins as potential regulators of cfDNA release. We observe that both groups of cells lines identified primarily produce cfDNA through apoptosis. These results establish the utility of cfCRISPR, genetically validate apoptosis as a major mediator of DNA release in vitro, and implicate ways to improve cfDNA assays.
