AbstractBackgroundThe human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification status is a crucial marker for evaluating clinical therapies of breast or gastric cancer. Therefore, the detection of HER2 gene amplification status is highly relevant in histopathological diagnostics. Recently, the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has shown large improvements in the automation of classification and object detection in medical image analysis.MethodsHere, we propose a deep

... learning-based pipeline for the detection, localization and classification of interphase nuclei depending on their HER2 gene amplification state in Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) images. Our pipeline combines two RetinaNet-based object localization networks which are trained (1) to detect and classify interphase nuclei into distinct classes normal, low-grade and high-grade and (2) to detect and classify FISH signals into distinct classes HER2 or centromere of chromosome 17 (CEN17). By independently classifying each nucleus twice, the two-step pipeline provides both robustness and interpretability for the automated detection of the HER2 amplification status.ResultsWe demonstrate that the accuracy of this deep learning-based pipeline is on par with that of three pathologists. We demonstrate that our pipeline accurately classifies FISH images on a set of 57 validation images containing several hundreds of nuclei. Consequently, high quality FISH images can now be analyzed at once regarding their image-wide HER2 gene amplification status.ConclusionsThe automatic pipeline is a first step towards assisting pathologists in evaluating the HER2 status of tumors using FISH images, for analyzing FISH images in retrospective studies, and for optimizing the documentation of each tumor sample by automatically annotating and reporting of the HER2 gene amplification specificities.

... es from therapy-naïve patients. By far less common are such investigations to identify specific, predictive and/or prognostic gene signatures in patients or cancer cells refractory to a specific molecular-targeted intervention. This, however, might have a great value to foster the development of tailored, personalized cancer therapy. Based on our identification of a differential radiosensitization by single and combined β1 integrin (AIIB2) and EGFR (Cetuximab) targeting in more physiological, three-dimensional head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) cell cultures, we performed comparative whole exome sequencing, phosphoproteome analyses and RNAi knockdown screens in responder and nonresponder cell lines. We found a higher rate of gene mutations with putative proteinchanging characteristics in non-responders and different mutational profiles of responders and non-responders. These profiles allow stratification of HNSCC patients and identification of potential targets to address treatment resistance. Consecutively, pharmacological inhibition of mTOR and KEAP1 effectively diminished non-responder insusceptibility to β1 integrin and EGFR targeting for radiosensitization. Our data pinpoint the added value of genetic biomarker identification after selection for cancer subgroup responsiveness to targeted therapies.

The genome of the recently domesticated crop plant sugar beet (Beta vulgaris)
2013
Nature
Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. vulgaris) is an important crop of temperate climates which provides nearly 30% of the world's annual sugar production and is a source for bioethanol and animal feed. The species belongs to the order of Caryophylalles, is diploid with 2n 5 18 chromosomes, has an estimated genome size of 714-758 megabases 1 and shares an ancient genome triplication with other eudicot plants 2 . Leafy beets have been cultivated since Roman times, but sugar beet is one of the most

... ntly domesticated crops. It arose in the late eighteenth century when lines accumulating sugar in the storage root were selected from crosses made with chard and fodder beet 3 . Here we present a reference genome sequence for sugar beet as the first non-rosid, non-asterid eudicot genome, advancing comparative genomics and phylogenetic reconstructions. The genome sequence comprises 567 megabases, of which 85% could be assigned to chromosomes. The assembly covers a large proportion of the repetitive sequence content that was estimated 4 to be 63%. We predicted 27,421 protein-coding genes supported by transcript data and annotated them on the basis of sequence homology. Phylogenetic analyses provided evidence for the separation of Caryophyllales before the split of asterids and rosids, and revealed lineage-specific gene family expansions and losses. We sequenced spinach (Spinacia oleracea), another Caryophyllales species, and validated features that separate this clade from rosids and asterids. Intraspecific genomic variation was analysed based on the genome sequences of sea beet (Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima; progenitor of all beet crops) and four additional sugar beet accessions. We identified seven million variant positions in the reference genome, and also large regions of low variability, indicating artificial selection. The sugar beet genome sequence enables the identification of genes affecting agronomically relevant traits, supports molecular breeding and maximizes the plant's potential in energy biotechnology. During the last 200 years of sugar beet breeding, the sugar content has increased from 8% to 18% in today's cultivars. Breeding has also actively selected for traits like resistance to viral and fungal diseases, improved taproot yield, monogermy of the seed and bolting resistance.

Recommendations on test datasets for evaluating AI solutions in pathology
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions that automatically extract information from digital histology images have shown great promise for improving pathological diagnosis. Prior to routine use, it is important to evaluate their predictive performance and obtain regulatory approval. This assessment requires appropriate test datasets. However, compiling such datasets is challenging and specific recommendations are missing. A committee of various stakeholders, including commercial AI developers,

... hologists, and researchers, discussed key aspects and conducted extensive literature reviews on test datasets in pathology. Here, we summarize the results and derive general recommendations for the collection of test datasets. We address several questions: Which and how many images are needed? How to deal with low-prevalence subsets? How can potential bias be detected? How should datasets be reported? What are the regulatory requirements in different countries? The recommendations are intended to help AI developers demonstrate the utility of their products and to help regulatory agencies and end users verify reported performance measures. Further research is needed to formulate criteria for sufficiently representative test datasets so that AI solutions can operate with less user intervention and better support diagnostic workflows in the future.
Targeted capture-based NGS is superior to multiplex PCR-based NGS for hereditary BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene analysis in FFPE tumor samples
2019
BMC Cancer
With the introduction of Olaparib treatment for BRCA-deficient recurrent ovarian cancer, testing for somatic and/or germline mutations in BRCA1/2 genes in tumor tissues became essential for treatment decisions. In most cases only formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, containing fragmented and chemically modified DNA of minor quality, are available. Thus, multiplex PCR-based sequencing is most commonly applied in routine molecular testing, which is predominantly focused on the

... cation of known hot spot mutations in oncogenes. Methods: We compared the overall performance of an adjusted targeted capture-based enrichment protocol and a multiplex PCR-based approach for calling of pathogenic SNVs and InDels using DNA extracted from 13 FFPE tissue samples. We further applied both strategies to seven blood samples and five matched FFPE tumor tissues of patients with known germline exon-spanning deletions and gene-wide duplications in BRCA1/2 to evaluate CNV detection based solely on panel NGS data. Finally, we analyzed DNA from FFPE tissues of 11 index patients from families suspected of having hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, of whom no blood samples were available for testing, in order to identify underlying pathogenic germline BRCA1/2 mutations. Results: The multiplex PCR-based protocol produced inhomogeneous coverage among targets of each sample and between samples as well as sporadic amplicon drop out, leading to insufficiently or non-covered nucleotides, which subsequently hindered variant detection. This protocol further led to detection of PCR-artifacts that could easily have been misinterpreted as pathogenic mutations. No such limitations were observed by application of an adjusted targeted capture-based protocol, which allowed for CNV calling with 86% sensitivity and 100% specificity. All pathogenic CNVs were confirmed in the five matched FFPE tumor samples from patients carrying known pathogenic germline mutations and we additionally identified somatic loss of the second allele in BRCA1/2. Furthermore we detected pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants in four the eleven FFPE samples from patients of whom no blood was available for analysis. Conclusions: We demonstrate that an adjusted targeted capture-based enrichment protocol is superior to commonly applied multiplex PCR-based protocols for reliable BRCA1/2 variant detection, including CNV-detection, using FFPE tumor samples.
