Abstract PD5-08: The human tumor atlas network (HTAN) breast pre cancer atlas: A multi-omic integrative analysis of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and correlation with clinical outcomes

Introduction. As nonobligate precursors of invasive disease, pre-cancers provide a unique vantage point from which to study the molecular pathways and evolutionary dynamics that lead to the development of life-threatening cancers. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most commonly diagnosed precursor of breast cancer, with variable propensity for invasive progression. In order to address the problems of over- and under-treatment, we performed a multimodal, integrated profile of DCIS with clinical outcomes with which to develop and validate predictors of invasive progression. Methods. We present observations on DNA, RNA, and protein expression on two independent patient cohorts of DCIS, diagnosed from 1981 to 2014, from the Translational Breast Cancer Research Consortium (TBCRC 038) and the Washington University Repository of Archival Human Breast Tissue (RAHBT). Patients initially diagnosed with DCIS, with either DCIS or invasive recurrence (cases; mean follow up 5.8 years) were matched to those without recurrence (controls; mean follow up 10.3 years), based upon age at diagnosis and year of diagnosis. Results. We present genomic and cellular changes that correlate with both disease states and patient outcomes in DCIS. DCIS can be clustered by classification systems developed for IBC. Specific immune cell types and pathways correlate with longitudinal outcome. Luminal cell adhesion and metabolism pathways are upregulated in controls and cases, respectively. Highly multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI) was used to validate RNA seq findings, and to provide single cell-level spatial context for molecular alterations.Conclusion. We have performed an integrated multi-omic analysis of DCIS and associated tumor micorenvironment. Our multi-scale approach employs in situ methods to generate a spatially resolved atlas of breast precancers where different modalities can be directly compared to each other, and correlated with conventional pathology findings and clinical outcome. The PreCancer Atlas represents a complex multi-modal database for DCIS study, whose design allows for future discovery and hypothesis generation.
