    Abstract Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has become the predominant analyte of liquid biopsy; however, recent studies suggest the presence of subnucleosomal-sized DNA fragments in circulation that are likely single-stranded. Here, we report a method called direct capture and sequencing (DCS) tailored to recover such fragments from biofluids by directly capturing them using short degenerate probes followed by single strand-based library preparation and next-generation sequencing. DCS revealed a new DNA population in biofluids, named ultrashort single-stranded DNA (ussDNA). Evaluation of the size distribution and abundance of ussDNA manifested generality of its presence in humans, animal species, and plants. In humans, red blood cells were found to contain abundant ussDNA; plasma-derived ussDNA exhibited modal size at 50 nt. This work reports the presence of an understudied DNA population in circulation, and yet more work is awaiting to study its generation mechanism, tissue of origin, disease implications, etc.

    Abstract Purpose: Cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has shown its potential as a quantitative biomarker for longitudinal monitoring of response to anticancer therapies. However, ctDNA dynamics have not been studied in patients with heavily pretreated, advanced solid tumors, for whom therapeutic responses can be weak. We investigated whether changes in ctDNA could predict clinical outcomes in such a cohort treated with combined poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor inhibitor therapy.
    Materials and methods: Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), or non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received up to 7 days of cediranib 30 mg orally once daily monotherapy lead-in followed by addition of olaparib 200 mg orally twice daily. Patients had progressed on a median of three previous lines of therapy. Plasma samples were collected before and after cediranib monotherapy lead-in and on combination therapy at 7 days, 28 days, and every 28 days thereafter. ctDNA was quantified from plasma samples using a multigene mutation-based assay. Radiographic assessment was performed every 8 weeks.
    Results: ctDNA measurements were evaluable in 63 patients. The median baseline ctDNA variant allele fractions (VAFs) were 20%, 28%, 27%, and 34% for PDAC, TNBC, SCLC, and NSCLC, respectively. No association was observed between baseline VAF and radiographic response, progression-free survival, or overall survival (OS). Similarly, no association was found between ctDNA decline and radiographic response or survival. However, an increase in ctDNA at 56 days of combination therapy was associated with disease progression and inferior OS in a landmark analysis.
    Conclusion: ctDNA levels or dynamics did not correlate with radiographic response or survival outcomes in patients with advanced metastatic malignancies treated with olaparib and cediranib.

    Abstract Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the circulating blood plasma of patients with cancer contains tumour-derived DNA sequences that can serve as biomarkers for guiding therapy, for the monitoring of drug resistance, and for the early detection of cancers. However, the analysis of cfDNA for clinical diagnostic applications remains challenging because of the low concentrations of cfDNA, and because cfDNA is fragmented into short lengths and is susceptible to chemical damage. Barcodes of unique molecular identifiers have been implemented to overcome the intrinsic errors of next-generation sequencing, which is the prevailing method for highly multiplexed cfDNA analysis. However, a number of methodological and pre-analytical factors limit the clinical sensitivity of the cfDNA-based detection of cancers from liquid biopsies. In this Review, we describe the state-of-the-art technologies for cfDNA analysis, with emphasis on multiplexing strategies, and discuss outstanding biological and technical challenges that, if addressed, would substantially improve cancer diagnostics and patient care.

    Abstract META RNA profiling is a simple and inexpensive method to measure the expression of multiple targeted RNAs across many samples. By assigning sample-specific tags up-front during reverse-transcription, cDNAs from multiple samples can be pooled prior to amplification and deep sequencing. Such early parallelization of samples simplifies the workflow, minimizes cross-sample experimental variability, and reduces reagent and sequencing costs. Herein we describe the theoretical framework of the method and provide a detailed protocol to facilitate its implementation.

    Abstract DNA sequence variants with allele fractions below 1% are difficult to detect and quantify by sequencing owing to intrinsic errors in sequencing-by-synthesis methods. Although molecular-identifier barcodes can detect mutations with a variant-allele frequency (VAF) as low as 0.1% using next-generation sequencing (NGS), sequencing depths of over 25,000× are required, thus hampering the detection of mutations at high sensitivity in patient samples and in most samples used in research. Here we show that low-frequency DNA variants can be detected via low-depth multiplexed NGS after their amplification, by a median of 300-fold, using polymerase chain reaction and rationally designed 'blocker' oligonucleotides that bind to the variants. Using an 80-plex NGS panel and a sequencing depth of 250×, we detected single nucleotide polymorphisms with a VAF of 0.019% and contamination in human cell lines at a VAF as low as 0.07%. With a 16-plex NGS panel covering 145 mutations across 9 genes involved in melanoma, we detected low-VAF mutations (0.2-5%) in 7 out of the 19 samples of freshly frozen tumour biopsies, suggesting that tumour heterogeneity could be notably higher than previously recognized.

    Abstract Current understanding of tumor immunosuppressive mechanisms forms the basis for modern day immunotherapies. Immunoregulatory role of platelets in cancer remains largely elusive. Platelets from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients revealed a distinct activation phenotype. TREM-like transcript 1 (TLT-1), a platelet protein, was increased along with enhanced extracellular release from NSCLC platelets. The increased platelet TLT-1 was also evident in humanized mice with patient-derived tumors. In immunocompetent mice with syngeneic tumors, TLT-1 binding to T cells, in vivo, led to suppression of CD8 T cells, promoting tumor growth. We identified direct interaction between TLT-1 and CD3ε on T cells, implicating the NF-κB pathway in CD8 T cell suppression. Anti-TLT-1 antibody rescued patients' T cells from platelet-induced suppression ex vivo and reduced tumors in mice in vivo. Clinically, higher TLT-1 correlated with reduced survival of NSCLC patients. Our findings thus identify TLT-1 as a platelet-derived immunosuppressor that suppresses CD8 T cells and demonstrate its therapeutic and prognostic significance in cancer.

    Abstract We describe a method called modular, early-tagged amplification (META) RNA profiling that can quantify a broad panel of microRNAs or mRNAs simultaneously across many samples and requires far less sequence depth than existing digital profiling technologies. The method assigns quantitative tags during reverse transcription to permit up-front sample pooling before competitive amplification and deep sequencing. This simple, scalable and inexpensive approach improves the practicality of large-scale gene expression studies.
