Cell-autonomous inflammation of BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancers drives both tumor-intrinsic immunoreactivity and immune resistance via STING

Christian Iseli, Julien Dorier, Mauro Delorenzi, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Marco Mina, George Coukos, Alexandre Harari, Giovanni Ciriello

In this study, we investigate mechanisms leading to inflammation and immunoreactivity in ovarian tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). BRCA1 loss is found to lead to transcriptional reprogramming in tumor cells and cell-intrinsic inflammat ...

Systematic inference and comparison of multi-scale chromatin sub-compartments connects spatial organization to cell phenotypes

Marco Mina, Elisa Oricchio, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Giovanni Ciriello, Daniele Tavernari

Chromatin compartmentalization reflects biological activity. However, inference of chromatin sub-compartments and compartment domains from chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) experiments is limited by data resolution. As a result, these have been charac ...

Cathepsin S Regulates Antigen Processing and T Cell Activity in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Julien Racle, Jessica Sordet, Marco Mina, George Coukos, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Elena Battistello, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Elie Charles Eugène Dheilly, Sarah Wehrle, Giovanni Ciriello

Genomic alterations in cancer cells can influence the immune system to favor tumor growth. In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, physiological interactions between B cells and the germinal center microenvironment are coopted to sustain cancer cell proliferation. We fou ...

EZH2 oncogenic mutations drive epigenetic, transcriptional, and structural changes within chromatin domains

Suliana Manley, Marco Mina, Kyle Michael Douglass, Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Maria Christine Donaldson, Elena Battistello, Timo Henry René Rey, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Giovanni Ciriello, Daniele Tavernari

Chromatin is organized into topologically associating domains (TADs) enriched in distinct histone marks. In cancer, gain-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the enhancer of zeste homolog 2 protein (EZH2) lead to a genome-wide increase in histone-3 L ...

Pan-Cancer Landscape of Aberrant DNA Methylation across Human Tumors

Douglas Hanahan, Marco Mina, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Giovanni Ciriello

The discovery of cancer-associated alterations has primarily focused on genetic variants. Nonetheless, altered epigenomes contribute to deregulate transcription and promote oncogenic pathways. Here, we designed an algorithmic approach (RESET) to identify a ...

Conditional Selection of Genomic Alterations Dictates Cancer Evolution and Oncogenic Dependencies

Marco Mina, Franck Claude Raynaud, Mohammad Sadegh Saghafinia, Titouan Laessle, Elisa Oricchio, Elena Battistello, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Giovanni Ciriello, Daniele Tavernari

Cancer evolves through the emergence and selection of molecular alterations. Cancer genome profiling has revealed that specific events are more or less likely to be co-selected, suggesting that the selection of one event depends on the others. However, the ...
