Disruption of chromatin folding domains by somatic genomic rearrangements in human cancer (original) (raw)

Data availability

Aligned sequencing data, as well as somatic and germline variant calls from PCAWG tumors, including SNVs, indels, copy number alterations and SVs, are available for download at https://dcc.icgc.org/releases/PCAWG. Additional information on accessing the data, including raw read files, can be found at https://docs.icgc.org/pcawg/data/. In accordance with the data-access policies of the ICGC and TCGA projects, most molecular, clinical and specimen data are in an open tier that does not require access approval. To access potentially identifying information, such as germline alleles and underlying sequencing data, researchers will need to apply to the TCGA Data Access Committee (DAC) via dbGaP (https://dbgap.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/aa/wga.cgi?page=login) for access to the TCGA portion of the dataset, and to the ICGC Data Access Compliance Office (DACO; http://icgc.org/daco) for the ICGC portion. In addition, to access somatic SNVs derived from TCGA donors, researchers will also need to obtain dbGaP authorization.

We obtained the consensus SV calls and annotations of each variation (deletions, inversions, duplications and complex rearrangements), which can be found at Synapse (https://www.synapse.org/) with accession number syn7596712.

Hi-C data have been deposited at GEO under accession code GSE116694.

Code availability

The core computational pipelines used by the PCAWG Consortium for alignment, quality control and variant calling are available to the public at https://dockstore.org/search?search=pcawg under a GNU General Public License v.3.0, which allows for reuse and distribution.

a, Distribution of average long-range (length of SV>2 Mb) structural variations (deletion (dashed-red), inversion (dashed-cyan), duplication (dashed-green) and complex rearrangements (dashed-orange)) per sample for each cancer histology subtypes. b, A recurrently deleted TAD boundary in colorectal adenocarcinoma samples near to the RBFOX1 gene. Colored bars on top depict chromosomal locations of the boundaries. Columns of the heatmap are TAD boundaries and rows represent each colorectal adenocarcinoma sample. TAD boundaries affected by BA-deletions are colored in red. Schematic below show the deleted boundary (red box) near to the RBFOX1 gene. c, Distributions of total SV burden (deletions: red, inversions: cyan, duplications: green, complex: orange) across chromosomes. d, Distributions of boundary affecting SVs across chromosomes.

Extended Data Fig. 5 Distribution of structural variation burden in different cancer histology subtypes.

a, Distribution of boundary-affecting (top) and total (bottom) SVs (deletions: red, inversions: cyan, duplications: green, complex: orange) across chromosomes in each cancer histology subtypes[22](/articles/s41588-019-0564-y#ref-CR22 "The ICGC/TCGA Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes Consortium.

             (2020).").

Extended Data Fig. 6 Examples of genomic alterations that potentially affect CTCF-CTCF chromatin folding loops.

a-b, Potentially affected insulated neighborhoods a, in esophageal, gastric and colon adenocarcinoma samples near to the CLCN4 gene and b, in liver-HCC and breast cancers near to BCL6 gene. Black boxes show TAD boundaries, arcs represent CTCF ChIA-PET loops observed in three different cell types (gray). CTCF ChIP-Seq (from NHEK cell line) signal is represented by purple histogram. Red vertical bars depict deletions in individual samples.

Extended Data Fig. 7 Classification of TADs based on the epigenetic landscape.

a, Box plots show length distributions of different TAD annotations. Heterochromatin: 61; Low: 705; Repressed: 481; Low-Active: 764; Active: 365. In these and all other boxplots in subsequent figures, the center line is the median; box limits are the upper and lower quantiles; whiskers represent 1.5x the interquartile range. b, Pie chart represents percent of mappable genome covered by each TAD annotation. c, Box plots represent median expression level (RPKM) for a gene residing in a given TAD annotation for GTEX consortia dataset. Number of genes in each annotation group: heterochromatin: 624; low: 2874; repressed: 3690; low-active: 4319; active: 4578. d, Box plots represent replication timing (Repli-Seq) values divided by domain length (in Kb) for each TAD annotations. Heterochromatin: 61; Low: 705; Repressed: 481; Low-Active: 764; Active: 365. e, Bar plots show percent of a TAD annotation covered by open (orange) or closed (black) chromatin domains calls from a previous study37 across different TCGA cancer types.

Extended Data Fig. 8 The majority of the domain disruptions do not result in drastic gene expression changes.

a, Occurrence of different SV types between domain types. Significance of the observed numbers calculated based on the expected distribution which is based on randomly shuffled boundary data, cumulative distribution of expected overlaps, z-scores were calculated based on observed number and obtained distribution from this bootstrapping exercise A two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test was used to calculate p-values. Significantly enriched (E) or depleted (D) numbers are denoted next to the numbers. b, Box plots show log2 fold-change for the genes nearest to BA-deletions between repressed-repressed (n: 19; blue; left) or active-active (n: 36; red; right) domains. In these and all other boxplots in subsequent figures, the center line is the median; box limits are the upper and lower quantiles; whiskers represent 1.5x the interquartile range. c, Box plots show log2 fold-change for the genes nearest to BA-duplication (n: 1008) and BA-complex (n: 617) break-ends on different domain types. Here ‘less’ or ‘more’ transcriptionally active refers to the ordering of domain annotations in Fig. 4a (that is a low domain is considered less compared to a repressed domain). Fold change was calculated based on the gene’s expression in the sample harboring the BA-SV compared to the rest of the samples in the same cancer type. d, Observed (arrows) and expected distribution (histograms) of SVs between constitutive LADs and interLADs. The expected distribution is based on randomly shuffled LAD and interLADs. e, Box plots show log2 fold-change for the genes nearest to deletion (n: 50), duplication (n: 66) and complex (n: 39) SVs between constitutive LAD and interLADs.

Extended Data Fig. 9 Cell-type specific alterations of chromatin folding patterns by different structural variation types.

a, Pie chart represents the ratio of BA-SVs with detectable changes in Hi-C data from HCC1954, OE33, SNU-C1, SW480 cell lines. b, Average contact enrichment between break-ends of BA-SVs in cancerous and non-cancerous cell. Interactions between break-ends of BA-SVs longer than 1 Mb in length were included in this analysis. Breast epithelial cell line (HMEC) Hi-C data was used to represent non-cancerous cell interaction profile as the majority of BA-SVs in this analysis (56.3%) was detected in breast adenocarcinoma cell line (HCC1954). c, Examples of shortest BA-SVs with detectable changes in Hi-C maps and an SV with no detectable changes in Hi-C maps. Contact frequencies (log2) of each cell type, plotted with a 20KB (SW480) and 40Kb (HCC1954) window size. Arcs below represent SV breakpoint locations with rearrangements coded by color. Green: tandem duplication; red: deletion; cyan and purple: inversion. (Left) an 460Kb long duplication in SW480 cells; (middle) an 800 kb long deletion in HCC1954 cells; (right) a duplication overlapping with a translocation in HCC1954 cells resulted in no apparent contact map change. d-f) Represented regions for the effects of ‘simple’ genomic rearrangements on chromatin folding domains: d, A deletion on chromosome 4 in OE33 cells; e, A duplication on chromosome 14 in HCC1954 cells; f, A large inversion and a small deletion on chromosome 8 in SNU-C1 cells. g, A duplication (green arc) in SW480 cells results in a TAD-like formation on chromosome 4. Below histograms show CTCF and H3K27AC ChIP-Seq data from NHEK and SW480 cell lines, respectively. Red dashed line denotes the location of distinct genomic regions.

Extended Data Fig. 10 Specificity and reproducibility of chromatin organization alterations in cancer cell lines.

a, Hi-C data around the neoTAD regions demonstrated in Fig. 5c and Supplementary Fig 10g in all cell lines. b, A smaller window of chromosome 15 represented in Fig. 5d which depicts a massive chromothripsis event covering all of the chromosome15 in SNU-C1 cell line. c, Biological reproducibility of SV’s effect on chromatin folding patterns represented for each Hi-C replicates of cell lines. Contact frequencies (log2) of each cell type, plotted with a 40Kb window size. Arcs below represent SV breakpoint locations with rearrangements coded by color. Green: tandem duplication; red: deletion; cyan and purple: inversion.
