Divergent Routes toward Wnt and R-spondin Niche Independency during Human Gastric Carcinogenesis.

Cell | 2018

Recent sequencing analyses have shed light on heterogeneous patterns of genomic aberrations in human gastric cancers (GCs). To explore how individual genetic events translate into cancer phenotypes, we established a biological library consisting of genetically engineered gastric organoids carrying various GC mutations and 37 patient-derived organoid lines, including rare genomically stable GCs. Phenotype analyses of GC organoids revealed divergent genetic and epigenetic routes to gain Wnt and R-spondin niche independency. An unbiased phenotype-based genetic screening identified a significant association between CDH1/TP53 compound mutations and the R-spondin independency that was functionally validated by CRISPR-based knockout. Xenografting of GC organoids further established the feasibility of Wnt-targeting therapy for Wnt-dependent GCs. Our results collectively demonstrate that multifaceted genetic abnormalities render human GCs independent of the stem cell niche and highlight the validity of the genotype-phenotype screening strategy in gaining deeper understanding of human cancers.

Computational Genomics Analysis Tools (software resource)

RRID:SCR_006390

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 3, 2023. A collection of tools for the computational genomicist written in the python language to assist in the analysis of genome scale data from a range of standard file formats. The toolkit enables filtering, comparison, conversion, summarization and annotation of genomic intervals, gene sets and sequences. The tools can both be run from the Unix command line and installed into visual workflow builders, such as Galaxy. Please note that the tools are part of a larger code base also including genomics and NGS pipelines. Everyone who uses parts of the CGAT code collection is encouraged to contribute. Contributions can take many forms: bugreports, bugfixes, new scripts and pipelines, documentation, tests, etc. All contributions are welcome.
