Abstract
Adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs) are rare ovarian tumors with generally good prognosis after surgical resection; however, they do have recurrence potential. Therapeutic and management options for recurrences are currently limited, and the need for expanded adjuvant therapies is increasingly recognized. Anti-hormonal therapy is being explored as an option, which relies on the detection and assessment of hormone receptor expression (androgen, estrogen, and progesterone receptors) as a biomarker and therapeutic target. Our study identifies several clinicopathologic characteristics with significant associations for recurrence of AGCT, which were younger age, higher stage, and larger tumor size. Our study also demonstrates that androgen receptor (AR) expression may be utilized as a potential biomarker for hormonal therapy and that detection of AR expression in AGCT by immunohistochemistry (IHC) varies depending on the antibody clone used for testing. AR was detected in 95% of samples tested with antibodies derived from clone AR27. This detection rate is much higher than previously reported.

Abstract
Objective Incompletely resected epithelial ovarian cancer represents a poor prognostic subset of patients. Novel treatment strategies are needed to improve outcomes for this population. We evaluated a treatment strategy combining platinum-based chemotherapy with pembrolizumab followed by pembrolizumab maintenance therapy in the first-line treatment after incomplete resection of epithelial ovarian cancer patients. Methods This was a single-arm, non-randomized pilot study of carboplatin, taxane, and immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab, followed by 12 months of maintenance pembrolizumab in patients with incompletely resected epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Results A total of 29 patients were enrolled and evaluated for efficacy and safety. The best response to therapy was complete response in 16 (55%) patients, partial response in 9 (31%) patients, and 3 (10%) patients with progression of disease. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 13.2 months. Grade 3 and 4 toxicities occurred in 20% of patients. In all, 7 patients discontinued therapy due to adverse events. Quality-of-life scores remained high during therapy. Response to therapy did not correlate with PD-L1 tumor expression. Conclusions Combination platinum-taxane therapy with pembrolizumab did not increase median progression-free survival in this cohort of patients. Key message EOC is an immunogenic disease, but immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has yet to impact outcomes. The current study utilized pembrolizumab in combination with standard chemotherapy followed by a maintenance treatment strategy in incompletely resected EOC. Progression-free survival was not extended in this poor prognostic group with combined chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration has been implicated in transforming HPV infection into cancer, but its genomic consequences have been difficult to study using short-read technologies. To resolve the dysregulation associated with HPV integration, we performed long-read sequencing on 63 cervical cancer genomes. We identified six categories of integration events based on HPV-human genomic structures. Of all HPV integrants, defined as two HPV-human breakpoints bridged by an HPV sequence, 24% contained variable copies of HPV between the breakpoints, a phenomenon we termed heterologous integration. Analysis of DNA methylation within and in proximity to the HPV genome at individual integration events revealed relationships between methylation status of the integrant and its orientation and structure. Dysregulation of the human epigenome and neighboring gene expression in cis with the HPV-integrated allele was observed over megabase-ranges of the genome. By elucidating the structural, epigenetic, and allele-specific impacts of HPV integration, we provide insight into the role of integrated HPV in cervical cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adavosertib (AZD1775) is a first-in-class, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of Wee1. OBJECTIVE The safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of adavosertib monotherapy were evaluated in patients with various solid-tumor types and molecular profiles. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients had the following: confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), or small-cell lung cancer (SCLC); previous treatment for metastatic/recurrent disease; and measurable disease. Patients were grouped into six matched cohorts based on tumor type and presence/absence of biomarkers and received oral adavosertib 175 mg twice a day on days 1-3 and 8-10 of a 21-day treatment cycle. RESULTS Eighty patients received treatment in the expansion phase; median total treatment duration was 2.4 months. The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (56.3%), nausea (42.5%), fatigue (36.3%), vomiting (18.8%), and decreased appetite (12.5%). Treatment-related grade ≥ 3 AEs and serious AEs were reported in 32.5% and 10.0% of patients, respectively. AEs led to dose interruptions in 22.5%, reductions in 11.3%, and discontinuations in 16.3% of patients. One patient died following serious AEs of deep vein thrombosis (treatment related) and respiratory failure (not treatment related). Objective response rate, disease control rate, and progression-free survival were as follows: 6.3%, 68.8%, 4.5 months (OC BRCA wild type); 3.3%, 76.7%, 3.9 months (OC BRCA mutation); 0%, 69.2%, 3.1 months (TNBC biomarker [CCNE1/MYC/MYCL1/MYCN] non-amplified [NA]); 0%, 50%, 2 months (TNBC biomarker amplified); 8.3%, 33.3%, 1.3 months (SCLC biomarker NA); and 0%, 33.3%, 1.2 months (SCLC biomarker amplified). CONCLUSION Adavosertib monotherapy was tolerated and demonstrated some antitumor activity in patients with advanced solid tumors.

Abstract
A lack of diversity in the clinical cancer workforce causes undue burden limiting research and patient care advancements. Recruitment and retention of individuals underrepresented in medicine/research can enhance patient-provider concordance. The Student-centered Pipeline to Advance Research in Cancer Careers (SPARCC) uniquely prepares underrepresented minority students to quickly transition into the clinical research workforce and seek advanced graduate degrees. Experiential learning theory and culturally responsive pedagogy ground SPARCC's rigorous competency-based curriculum incorporating cancer care, clinical trial development, social supports, and mentored research experiences. Concurrent mixed-methods analysis includes evaluations of workshops, clinical-practicums, and pre-, post-, and 6-month-post-knowledge, attitudes, and practices. Analysis of data included stepwise multivariate regression analysis, Spearman's rho correlations, and assessments of inter-item reliability via Cronbach's alpha (IBM® SPSS® 24.0). Inductive content analysis coded phrases and analytic patterns were distilled enhancing descriptions of experiences. From January 2019 to March 2019, 62% of applications came from underrepresented minorities. Ten students were accepted, 90% identified as underrepresented minority. All ten students completed the pre-, post-, and 6-month-post-evaluations. Overall scores increased significantly from pre-evaluation to 6-month-post-evaluation. Evaluation data came from 431 responses of 60 workshops, with a mean score of 9.1 (10-point scale). Students completed three clinical practicums, which received an overall mean score of 8.2 (10-point scale). A robust curriculum, structured recruitment, diverse faculty, and comprehensive evaluations made SPARCC a compelling strategy for supporting underrepresented minority students to seek immediate employment as clinical research professionals or application to advanced graduate degree programs.

Abstract
Therapeutic options for recurrent adult granulosa cell tumors (AGCT) are limited. After examining the hormonal pathways involved in FOXL2-mutated granulosa cell tumor development, a novel treatment regimen was utilized for recurrent AGCT: a combination of an androgen receptor antagonist, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor agonist, and an aromatase inhibitor for hormonal blockade. In this case series, seven patients at our institution were treated with bicalutamide 50 mg orally once daily, Leuprolide acetate 7.5 mg intramuscular (IM) injection every 4 weeks, and a daily oral aromatase inhibitor. These patients had recurrent AGCT with androgen receptor positive tumors and had failed prior aromatase inhibitor therapy. All patients had undergone multiple surgical resections and many cycles of chemotherapy. Patients were monitored for toxicities and for response to treatment. Of the seven patients receiving the triple therapy, six saw clinical benefit. Two patients demonstrated a partial response and four patients had stable disease. One patient had progressive disease on the regimen. For the two patients who had a partial response to the triple therapy, there was strong expression of the androgen receptor (AR) noted on tumor immunohistochemistry. This drug combination was well-tolerated except for severe hot flashes in one patient. In conclusion, the triple therapy combination of an androgen receptor antagonist, aromatase inhibitor, and GnRH agonist demonstrated measurable responses in patients with recurrent AGCTs after multiple previous treatments. A prospective clinical trial is planned to further investigate these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the feasibility of cetuximab with chemoradiation in women with cervical carcinoma and evaluated fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) to assess early response to cetuximab (NCT00292955). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IB-IVB invasive carcinoma of the uterine cervix were treated on 1 of 3 dose levels (DL). DL1 consisted of neoadjuvant cetuximab, then concurrent radiotherapy with cetuximab 250 mg/m2/cisplatin 40 mg/m2, followed by weekly cetuximab. DL2 consisted of radiotherapy with cetuximab 200 mg/m2 and cisplatin 30 mg/m2. DL3 consisted of radiotherapy with cetuximab 250 mg/m2 and cisplatin 30 mg/m2. Patients underwent 18F-FDG-PET/CT before treatment, after neoadjuvant cetuximab, and at the end of treatment. RESULTS Of the 21 patients enrolled, 9, 3, and 9 were treated in DL1, DL2, and DL3, respectively. DL1 required dose reductions due to gastrointestinal toxicities. DL2 and 3 were tolerated with 1 dose-limiting toxicity (grade 4 renal failure) at DL3. Following 3 weekly treatments of neoadjuvant cetuximab in DL1, 7 patients had maximum standardized uptake value changes on 18F-FDG-PET/CT consistent with response to cetuximab. Of the 12 patients with locally advanced disease, eleven evaluable patients had no evidence of disease on 18F-FDG-PET/CT at treatment end. Five-year progression-free survival and overall survival rates for all patients were 57.5% and 58.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Cetuximab with cisplatin 30 mg/m2 and radiotherapy was tolerated. 18F-FDG-PET/CT demonstrated early evidence of response to neoadjuvant cetuximab. With advances in precision oncology and the recent approval of pembrolizumab in metastatic cervical cancer, dual-target inhibition with an epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor may be a promising treatment in the future.

Abstract
Simple Summary Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most fatal gynecological cancer with poor survival rates and high mortality. EOC patients respond to standard platinum-based chemotherapy in the beginning, but relapse often due to chemoresistance. Ovarian cancer cells disseminate from the ovarian tumors and spread within the abdomen, where ascites fluid supports the growth and transition. Malignant ascites is present in a third of patients at diagnosis and is considered as a major source of chemoresistance, recurrence, poor survival, and mortality. Malignant ascites is a complex fluid that contains a pro-tumorigenic environment with disseminated cancer cells in 3D spheroids form. In this study, we established an ovarian cancer cell line and identified that 3D spheroids develop from the 2D monolayer, and the platinum-resistant phenotype develops due to the aberrant PI3K-AKT signaling in tumor cells. Furthermore, when we used a combinatorial approach of cisplatin with LY-294002 (a PI3K-AKT dual kinase inhibitor) to treat the cisplatin version of both MCW-OV-SL-3 and A-2780 cell lines, it prevented the 3D spheroid formation ability and also sensitized the cells for cisplatin. In brief, our results provided evidence to advance therapeutic approaches to treat cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer patients. Abstract Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy among women worldwide and is characterized by aggressiveness, cancer stemness, and frequent relapse due to resistance to platinum-based therapy. Ovarian cancer cells metastasize through ascites fluid as 3D spheroids which are more resistant to apoptosis and chemotherapeutic agents. However, the precise mechanism as an oncogenic addiction that makes 3D spheroids resistant to apoptosis and chemotherapeutic agents is not understood. To study the signaling addiction mechanism that occurs during cancer progression in patients, we developed an endometrioid subtype ovarian cancer cell line named ‘MCW-OV-SL-3’ from the ovary of a 70-year-old patient with stage 1A endometrioid adenocarcinoma of the ovary. We found that the cell line MCW-OV-SL-3 exhibits interstitial duplication of 1q (q21–q42), where this duplication resulted in high expression of the PIK3C2B gene and aberrant activation of PI3K-AKT-ERK signaling. Using short tandem repeat (STR) analysis, we demonstrated that the cell line exhibits a unique genetic identity compared to existing ovarian cancer cell lines. Notably, the MCW-OV-SL-3 cell line was able to form 3D spheroids spontaneously, which is an inherent property of tumor cells when plated on cell culture dishes. Importantly, the tumor spheroids derived from the MCW-OV-SL-3 cell line expressed high levels of c-Kit, PROM1, ZEB1, SNAI, VIM, and Twist1 compared to 2D monolayer cells. We also observed that the hyperactivation of ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling in these cancer cells resulted in resistance to cisplatin. In summary, the MCW-OV-SL3 endometrioid cell line is an excellent model to study the mechanism of cancer stemness and chemoresistance in endometrioid ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Fragile X-related protein-1 (FXR1) gene is highly amplified in patients with ovarian cancer, and this amplification is associated with increased expression of both FXR1 mRNA and protein. FXR1 expression directly associates with the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. Surface sensing of translation (SUnSET) assay demonstrates that FXR1 enhances the overall translation in cancer cells. Reverse-phase protein array (RPPA) reveals that cMYC is the key target of FXR1. Mechanistically, FXR1 binds to the AU-rich elements (ARE) present within the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of cMYC and stabilizes its expression. In addition, the RGG domain in FXR1 interacts with eIF4A1 and eIF4E proteins. These two interactions of FXR1 result in the circularization of cMYC mRNA and facilitate the recruitment of eukaryotic translation initiation factors to the translation start site. In brief, we uncover a mechanism by which FXR1 promotes cMYC levels in cancer cells.

Abstract
While patients with advanced ovarian cancer may respond initially to treatment, disease relapse is common and nearly 50% of patients do not survive beyond five years, indicating an urgent need for improved therapies. To identify new therapeutic targets, we performed single cell and nuclear RNA-seq dataset analyses on 17 human ovarian cancer specimens, revealing the oncostatin M receptor (OSMR) as highly expressed in ovarian cancer cells. Conversely, oncostatin M (OSM), the ligand of OSMR, was highly expressed by tumor-associated macrophages and promoted proliferation and metastasis in cancer cells. Ovarian cancer cell lines and additional patient samples also exhibited elevated levels of OSMR when compared to other cell types in the tumor microenvironment or to normal ovarian tissue samples. OSMR was found to be important for ovarian cancer cell proliferation and migration. Binding of OSM to OSMR caused OSMR-IL6ST dimerization, which is required to produce oncogenic signaling cues for prolonged STAT3 activation. Human monoclonal antibody clones B14 and B21 directed to the extracellular domain of OSMR abrogated OSM-induced OSMR-IL6ST heterodimerization, promoted the internalization and degradation of OSMR, and effectively blocked OSMR-mediated signaling in vitro. Importantly, these antibody clones inhibited the growth of ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo by suppressing oncogenic signaling through OSMR and STAT3 activation. Collectively, this study provides a proof of principle that anti-OSMR antibody can mediate disruption of OSM-induced OSMR-IL6ST dimerization and oncogenic signaling, thus documenting the pre-clinical therapeutic efficacy of human OSMR antagonist antibodies for immunotherapy in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Peritoneal spread is the primary mechanism of metastasis of ovarian cancer, and survival of ovarian cancer cells in the peritoneal cavity as nonadherent spheroids and their adherence to the mesothelium of distant organs lead to cancer progression, metastasis, and mortality. However, the mechanisms that govern this metastatic process in ovarian cancer cells remain poorly understood. In this study, we cultured ovarian cancer cell lines in adherent and nonadherent conditions in vitro and analyzed changes in mRNA and protein levels to identify mechanisms of tumor cell survival and proliferation in adherent and nonadherent cells. EGFR or ERBB2 upregulated ZEB1 in nonadherent cells, which caused resistance to cell death and increased tumor-initiating capacity. Conversely, Forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) was required for the induction of integrin β1, integrin-α V, and integrin-α 5 for adhesion of cancer cells. FOXM1 also upregulated ZEB1, which could act as a feedback inhibitor of FOXM1, and caused the transition of adherent cells to nonadherent cells. Strikingly, the combinatorial treatment with lapatinib [dual kinase inhibitor of EGFR (ERBB1) and ERBB2] and thiostrepton (FOXM1 inhibitor) reduced growth and peritoneal spread of ovarian cancer cells more effectively than either single-agent treatment in vivo. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that FOXM1 and EGFR/ERBB2 pathways are key points of vulnerability for therapy to disrupt peritoneal spread and adhesion of ovarian cancer cells. SIGNIFICANCE: This study describes the mechanism exhibited by ovarian cancer cells required for adherent cell transition to nonadherent form during peritoneal spread and metastasis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: To address the paucity of workforce diversity in cancer research and the slow recruitment of underrepresented minority (URM) populations in clinical trials, we developed an education program - Student-centered Pipeline to Advance Research in Cancer Careers (SPARCC), to prepare URMs as clinical research professionals (CRPs). Procedures: To target cultural/racial incongruence between patient and physician/researcher requires increased diversity in the clinical cancer workforce. SPARCC is a five-year NCI R25 program to recruit URM undergraduate students to become CRPs and/or seek advanced degrees in cancer research. CRP jobs are readily available with several avenues for professional growth. These positions also provide excellent interim employment and financial resources for those exploring advanced science careers. Over eight weeks, the first cohort of SPARCC Scholars participated in 84 workshop learning experiences, ten different practicum rotations and a culminating research project. Mixed methods evaluated the components of SPARCC. Collected data informed programmatic modifications for subsequent cohorts. Summary: Within 16 weeks of announcement, 39 completed applications were received, 62% (24/39) identified as URM and 77% (30/39) were females. Most were pursuing biomedical science majors (30/39) with interest to seek careers in healthcare (34/39). The first cohort of ten scholars began in June 2019. Scholars globally evaluated each workshop on average of 9.1(10=excellent), Of the 433 workshop evaluations scholars completed, 92% (400/433) of sessions were rated ‘outstanding' or ‘very good' in “advancing understanding of the topic area, a chief request included more interactive elements, especially if sessions were solely lecture-based. Upon completion of the practicum rotations, scholars were evaluated by preceptors on average of 9.2(10 = excellent). Participants identified the benefit of learning from various professionals and specialties they did not know existed. Other programmatic modifications include: increased time between workshop sessions to allow for deeper comprehension of content, inclusion of a financial literacy session, and increased protected time to conduct and formalize research projects. All scholars identified a strong sense of belonging at the large academic medical institution, which is frequently cited as a barrier for URM. Upon SPARCC's conclusion, all scholars reported interest in seeking careers in research and/or medicine. Of the 10 graduates, 2 are applying to medical school, 2 obtained employment as CRPs immediately after SPARCC and both are planning to pursue advanced research degrees, 5 are currently completing their final year of under-grad, and 1 is currently working in a research laboratory.
Conclusion: Participation in SPARCC provided access to a professional network for 2 URM participants to quickly attain permanent employment in clinical trials research and be prepared for advanced education applications.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the most common cancer affecting sub-Saharan African women and is prevalent among HIV-positive (HIV+) individuals. No comprehensive profiling of cancer genomes, transcriptomes or epigenomes has been performed in this population thus far. We characterized 118 tumors from Ugandan patients, of whom 72 were HIV+, and performed extended mutation analysis on an additional 89 tumors. We detected human papillomavirus (HPV)-clade-specific differences in tumor DNA methylation, promoter- and enhancer-associated histone marks, gene expression and pathway dysregulation. Changes in histone modification at HPV integration events were correlated with upregulation of nearby genes and endogenous retroviruses.

Abstract
High-grade serous carcinoma, accounts for up to 70% of all ovarian cases. Furin, a proprotein convertase, is highly expressed in high-grade serous carcinoma of ovarian cancer patients, and its expression is even higher in tumor omentum than in normal omentum, the preferred site of ovarian cancer metastasis. The proteolytic actions of this cellular endoprotease helps the maturation of several important precursors of protein substrates and its levels increase the risk of several cancer. We show that furin activates the IGF1R/STAT3 signaling axis in ovarian cancer cells. Conversely, furin knockdown downregulated IGF1R-β and p-STAT3 (Tyr705) expression. Further, silencing furin reduced tumor cell migration and invasion in vitro and tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Collectively, our findings show that furin can be an effective therapeutic target for ovarian cancer prevention or treatment.

Abstract
Cancer is driven by genetic change, and the advent of massively parallel sequencing has enabled systematic documentation of this variation at the whole-genome scale1-3. Here we report the integrative analysis of 2,658 whole-cancer genomes and their matching normal tissues across 38 tumour types from the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) Consortium of the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). We describe the generation of the PCAWG resource, facilitated by international data sharing using compute clouds. On average, cancer genomes contained 4-5 driver mutations when combining coding and non-coding genomic elements; however, in around 5% of cases no drivers were identified, suggesting that cancer driver discovery is not yet complete. Chromothripsis, in which many clustered structural variants arise in a single catastrophic event, is frequently an early event in tumour evolution; in acral melanoma, for example, these events precede most somatic point mutations and affect several cancer-associated genes simultaneously. Cancers with abnormal telomere maintenance often originate from tissues with low replicative activity and show several mechanisms of preventing telomere attrition to critical levels. Common and rare germline variants affect patterns of somatic mutation, including point mutations, structural variants and somatic retrotransposition. A collection of papers from the PCAWG Consortium describes non-coding mutations that drive cancer beyond those in the TERT promoter4; identifies new signatures of mutational processes that cause base substitutions, small insertions and deletions and structural variation5,6; analyses timings and patterns of tumour evolution7; describes the diverse transcriptional consequences of somatic mutation on splicing, expression levels, fusion genes and promoter activity8,9; and evaluates a range of more-specialized features of cancer genomes8,10-18.

Abstract
Background Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) has been associated with approximately 50% breast cancer risk reduction among women with a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2), a finding that has recently been questioned. Methods We estimated incidence rates of breast cancer and all cancers combined during 5 years of follow-up among participants selecting RRSO or ovarian cancer screening (OCS) among women with a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant or strong breast and/or ovarian cancer family history. Ovarian or fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer incidence rates were estimated for the OCS group. Breast cancer hazard ratios (HRs) for time-dependent RRSO were estimated using Cox regression with age time-scale (4943 and 4990 women-years in RRSO and OCS cohorts, respectively). All statistical tests were two-sided. Results The RRSO cohort included 925 participants, and 1453 participants were in the OCS cohort (381 underwent RRSO during follow-up), with 88 incident breast cancers diagnosed. Among BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant carriers, a non-statistically significant lower breast cancer incidence was observed in the RRSO compared with the OCS cohort (HR = 0.86, 95% confidence interval = 0.45 to 1.67; P = .67). No difference was observed in the overall population or among subgroups stratified by prior breast cancer history or menopausal status. Seven fallopian tube and four ovarian cancers were prospectively diagnosed in the OCS cohort, and one primary peritoneal carcinoma occurred in the RRSO cohort. Conclusions These data suggest that RRSO might be associated with reduced breast cancer incidence among women with a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant, although the effect, if present, is small. This evolving evidence warrants a thorough discussion regarding the impact of RRSO on breast cancer risk with women considering this intervention.

Abstract
Background Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, and we recently reported human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles showing strong associations with cervical neoplasia risk and protection. HLA ligands are recognized by killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) expressed on a range of immune cell subsets, governing their proinflammatory activity. We hypothesized that the inheritance of particular HLA-KIR combinations would increase cervical neoplasia risk. Methods Here, we used HLA and KIR dosages imputed from single-nucleotide polymorphism genotype data from 2143 cervical neoplasia cases and 13858 healthy controls of European decent. Results The following 4 novel HLA alleles were identified in association with cervical neoplasia, owing to their linkage disequilibrium with known cervical neoplasia-associated HLA-DRB1 alleles: HLA-DRB3*9901 (odds ratio [OR], 1.24; P = 2.49 × 10-9), HLA-DRB5*0101 (OR, 1.29; P = 2.26 × 10-8), HLA-DRB5*9901 (OR, 0.77; P = 1.90 × 10-9), and HLA-DRB3*0301 (OR, 0.63; P = 4.06 × 10-5). We also found that homozygosity of HLA-C1 group alleles is a protective factor for human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16)-related cervical neoplasia (C1/C1; OR, 0.79; P = .005). This protective association was restricted to carriers of either KIR2DL2 (OR, 0.67; P = .00045) or KIR2DS2 (OR, 0.69; P = .0006). Conclusions Our findings suggest that HLA-C1 group alleles play a role in protecting against HPV16-related cervical neoplasia, mainly through a KIR-mediated mechanism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To date, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) has provided the most extensive molecular characterization of invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Analysis of reverse phase protein array (RPPA) data from TCGA samples showed that cervical cancers could be stratified into 3 clusters exhibiting significant differences in survival outcome: hormone, EMT, and PI3K/AKT. The goals of the current study were to: 1) validate the TCGA RPPA results in an independent cohort of ICC patients and 2) to develop and validate an algorithm encompassing a small antibody set for clinical utility. METHODS Subjects consisted of 2 ICC patient cohorts with accompanying RPPA and clinical-pathologic data: 155 samples from TCGA (TCGA-155) and 61 additional, unique samples (MCW-61). Using data from 173 common RPPA antibodies, we replicated Silhouette clustering analysis in both ICC cohorts. Further, an index score for each patient was calculated from the survival-associated antibodies (SAAs) identified using Random survival forests (RSF) and the Cox proportional hazard regression model. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and the log-rank test were performed to assess and compare cluster or risk group survival outcome. RESULTS In addition to validating the prognostic ability of the proteomic clusters reported by TCGA, we developed an algorithm based on 22 unique antibodies (SAAs) that stratified women with ICC into low-, medium-, or high-risk survival groups. CONCLUSIONS We provide a signature of 22 antibodies which accurately predicted survival outcome in 2 separate groups of ICC patients. Future studies examining these candidate biomarkers in additional ICC cohorts is warranted to fully determine their clinical potential.

Abstract
This integrated, multiplatform PanCancer Atlas study co-mapped and identified distinguishing molecular features of squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) from five sites associated with smoking and/or human papillomavirus (HPV). SCCs harbor 3q, 5p, and other recurrent chromosomal copy-number alterations (CNAs), DNA mutations, and/or aberrant methylation of genes and microRNAs, which are correlated with the expression of multi-gene programs linked to squamous cell stemness, epithelial-to-mesenchymal differentiation, growth, genomic integrity, oxidative damage, death, and inflammation. Low-CNA SCCs tended to be HPV(+) and display hypermethylation with repression of TET1 demethylase and FANCF, previously linked to predisposition to SCC, or harbor mutations affecting CASP8, RAS-MAPK pathways, chromatin modifiers, and immunoregulatory molecules. We uncovered hypomethylation of the alternative promoter that drives expression of the ΔNp63 oncogene and embedded miR944. Co-expression of immune checkpoint, T-regulatory, and Myeloid suppressor cells signatures may explain reduced efficacy of immune therapy. These findings support possibilities for molecular classification and therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Adavosertib (AZD1775) is a first-in-class, selective, small-molecule inhibitor of Wee1. Previously we reported safety and efficacy of adavosertib monotherapy in patients (pts) with advanced solid tumors (NCT02482311; Bauer et al Cancer Res 2016;76[14 Suppl]); here we report safety and efficacy data from expansion cohorts based on tumor type.
Methods
A total of 80 pts grouped into 6 biomarker-matched cohorts (Table) received adavosertib (175 mg PO bid; days 1–3 and 8–10 per 21-day cycle). Eligible pts had: confirmed diagnosis of ovarian cancer (OC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); prior treatment (Tx) for metastatic/recurrent disease (≥3 prior Tx for pts with BRCAwt OC; progression following PARPi Tx for BRCA1/2m OC pts; ≤1 chemotherapy-based Tx for SCLC and ≥1 chemotherapy-based Tx for TNBC); measurable disease. Primary objective assessments: ORR; DCR; PFS (RECIST v1.1); safety. Tumor assessments were performed every 6 weeks in year 1 and every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. Blood and tumor samples were collected for correlative biomarker and pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses.
Results
Median total Tx duration was 2.4 months. Most frequently reported adverse events (AEs) were diarrhea (61%), nausea (50%) and fatigue (43%). Most commonly reported grade ≥3 AEs were diarrhea (7.5%), nausea, fatigue and small intestine obstruction (6%). AEs leading to dose interruptions (22.5%), reductions (11.3%) or discontinuations (16.3%) were reported. The study showed preliminary antitumor activity, particularly in BRCAwt as well as PARPi-failure BRCAm OC pts (Table). PK and biomarker analyses will be presented.

Abstract
SCOPE The chemopreventive effects of black raspberries (BRBs) have not been studied in endometrial tumorigenesis. Here, they are examined in a mouse model of endometrial cancer. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild-type and Pten heterozygous (+/-) female mice are weaned at 3 weeks and fed with four AIN-93G diets: 93G; 93G+5% BRBs powder; high-fat (HF); and HF+5% BRBs. Body weight and diet consumption are recorded weekly until the mice are euthanized at 28 weeks of age. Mice fed with HF diets are found to significantly gain body weight over time. BRBs are not found to affect the development of obesity. Mice in the HF+BRBs group consume less food than the HF-only mice. HF+BRBs diets suppress uterine tumor initiation and promotion more than the HF-only diet by inhibiting cell proliferation. It also reduces HF-induced levels of plasma leptin and 17β-estradiol (E2). Urolithin A, a metabolite of BRBs, suppresses cell proliferation induced by leptin and E2. CONCLUSION BRBs are preventive in HF-mediated uterine tumorigenesis because they suppress cell growth and plasma leptin and E2 levels.

Abstract
We previously reported that SOX4 is overexpressed in endometrial cancer and that it partially contributes to hypermethylation of miR-129-2 and miR-203. The current study seeks to identify methylation and expression levels of the SOX gene family in endometrial carcinomas. Methylation levels of the 16 SOX gene family members were measured by combining bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA), MassARRAY, and pyrosequencing assays of cell lines and endometrial cancer samples. Gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR. The methylation level of the SOX11 locus was correlated with clinicopathologic factors in primary endometrial tumors and in TCGA endometrial cohort. It was also examined in DNA of serum and endometrial specimens from a longitudinal cohort of early stage endometrial cancer patients. COBRA assays indicated that hypermethylation of SOX1, SOX2, SOX11, SOX14, SOX15, SOX17, and SOX18 was present in endometrial cancer cell lines and not in the normal control. SOX11 expression was reactivated only by a DNA methylation inhibitor. Moreover, aberrant DNA methylation of SOX11 was detected in the majority of endometrioid endometrial carcinomas (n=114) and none of the 22 adjacent normal endometrial samples (P<0.0001). The methylation status of SOX11 associated significantly with microsatellite instability and MLH1 methylation in endometrial tumors (P<0.0001), and this finding was validated in TCGA endometrial cohort. Furthermore, SOX11 was not hypermethylated in serum DNA from early stage endometrial cancer patients. This study found that hypermethylation of SOX11 is common in endometrial carcinomas and strongly associates with microsatellite instability and MLH1 methylation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ability to stratify a patient's risk of metastasis and survival permits more refined care. A proof of principle study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in literature based candidate cancer genes and the risk of nodal metastasis and clinical outcome in endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) patients. METHODS Surgically-staged EEC patients from the Gynecologic Oncology Group or Washington University School of Medicine with germline DNA available were eligible. Fifty-four genes represented by 384 SNPs, were evaluated by Illumina Custom GoldenGate array. Association with lymph node metastases was the primary outcome. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was also evaluated. RESULTS 361 SNPs with high quality genotype data were evaluated in 337 patients with outcome data. Five SNPs in CXCR2 had an odds ratio (OR) between 0.68 and 0.70 (p-value ≤ 0.025). The A allele rs946486 in ABL had an OR of 1.5 (p-value = 0.01) for metastasis. The G allele in rs7795743 in EGFR had an OR for metastasis of 0.68 (p-value = 0.02) and hazard ratio (HR) for progression of 0.66 (p-value = 0.004). Importantly, no SNP met genome wide significance after adjusting for multiple test correcting and clinical covariates. The A allele in rs2159359 SNP in NME1 and the G allele in rs13222385 in EGFR were associated with worse OS. Both exhibited genome wide significance; rs13222385 remained significant after adjusting for prognostic clinical variables. CONCLUSION SNPs in cancer genes including rs2159359 SNP in NME1 and rs13222385 in EGFR may stratify risk in EEC and are prioritized for further investigation.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo identify factors that affect successful adaptation of sentinel lymph node mapping and those that lead to unintended adipose-only sentinel lymph node identification.MethodsSurgical and pathological data were prospectively collected on patients with endometrial cancer who underwent sentinel lymph node mapping with indocyanine green with or without pelvic and/or para-aortic lymph node dissection between November 2013 and April 2017. All mapping cases were performed with the robotic system. Adipose-only specimens were defined as a sentinel lymph node without a pathologically identified lymph node after ultrastaging.ResultsA total of 202 patients were included: 83% had endometrioid pathology, 12% serous, 3% carcinosarcoma, and 2% clear cell, with mixed pathology noted in 2%. The bilateral sentinel lymph node detection rate was 66%, and the rate of mapping at least a unilateral sentinel lymph node was 86%. Neither the bilateral nor the unilateral sentinel lymph node mapping rate changed with increased surgeon experience. The rate of adipose-only sentinel lymph node identification was more frequent when comparing the first 10 cases (37%), cases 11 – 30 (28%), and > 30 cases (9%) (P = 0.006). Body mass index > 30 kg/m2, uterine fibroids, The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) grade, and histology were not found to have a statistically significant impact on either sentinel lymph node identification or adipose-only sentinel lymph node identification. Adipose-only sentinel lymph nodes were more likely with increased time from cervical injection to identification of the sentinel lymph node in the right hemipelvis. The median range was 28 min (14–73) for true sentinel lymph node identification vs 33 min (23–74) for adipose-only sentinel lymph node identification (P = 0.02).ConclusionPatient and surgeon factors did not impact the identification of sentinel lymph nodes over time. Adipose-only sentinel lymph nodes were more frequently identified in the initial cases and represent a potential complication to adapting sentinel lymph node biopsy without lymphadenectomy. The increase in adipose-only sentinel lymph node identification that was associated with time from cervical injection may represent delayed or disrupted uptake of indocyanine green.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is driven by persistent infection of human papillomavirus (HPV), which is influenced by HPV type and intratypic variants, yet the impact of HPV type and intratypic variants on patient outcomes is far less understood. Here, we examined the association of cervical cancer stage and survival with HPV type, clade, lineage, and intratypic variants within the HPV E6 locus. Of 1,028 HPV-positive cases recruited through the CerGE study, 301 were in-situ and 727 were invasive cervical cancer (ICC), with an average post-diagnosis follow-up of 4.8 years. HPV sequencing was performed using tumor-isolated DNA to assign HPV type, HPV 16 lineage, clade, and intratypic variants within the HPV 16 E6 locus, of which nonsynonomous variants were functionally annotated by molecular modeling. HPV 18-related types were more prevalent in ICC compared to in-situ disease and associated with significantly worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) compared to HPV 16-related types. The HPV 16 Asian American lineage D3 and Asian lineage A4 associated more frequently with ICC than with in situ disease and women with an intratypic HPV 16 lineage B exhibited a trend toward worse RFS than those with A, C, or D lineages. Participants with intratypic E6 variants predicted to stabilize the E6-E6AP-p53 complex had worse RFS. Variants within the highly immunogenic HPV 16 E6 region (E14-I34) were enriched in ICC compared to in-situ lesions but were not associated with survival. Collectively, our results suggest that cervical cancer outcome is associated with HPV variants that affect virus-host interactions.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological cancer in the United States. We wanted to identify epigenetic aberrations involving microRNAs (miRNAs), whose genes become hypermethylated in endometrial primary tumors. By integrating known miRNA sequences from the miRNA database (miRBase) with DNA methylation data from methyl-CpG-capture sequencing, we identified 111 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) associated with CpG islands (CGIs) and miRNAs. Among them, 22 DMRs related to 29 miRNAs and within 8 kb of CGIs were hypermethylated in endometrial tumors but not in normal endometrium. miR-137 was further validated in additional endometrial primary tumors. Hypermethylation of miR-137 was found in both endometrioid and serous endometrial cancer (P < 0.01), and it led to the loss of miR-137 expression. Treating hypermethylated endometrial cancer cells with epigenetic inhibitors reactivated miR-137. Moreover, genetic overexpression of miR-137 suppressed cancer cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. When transfected cancer cells were implanted into nude mice, the cells that overexpressed miR-137 grew more slowly and formed smaller tumors (P < 0.05) than vector transfectants. Histologically, xenograft tumors from cancer cells expressing miR-137 were less proliferative (P < 0.05), partly due to inhibition of EZH2 and LSD1 expression (P < 0.01) in both the transfected cancer cells and tumors. Reporter assays indicated that miR-137 targets EZH2 and LSD1. These results suggest that miR-137 is a tumor suppressor that is repressed in endometrial cancer because the promoter of its gene becomes hypermethylated.

Abstract
We analyzed molecular data on 2,579 tumors from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) of four gynecological types plus breast. Our aims were to identify shared and unique molecular features, clinically significant subtypes, and potential therapeutic targets. We found 61 somatic copy-number alterations (SCNAs) and 46 significantly mutated genes (SMGs). Eleven SCNAs and 11 SMGs had not been identified in previous TCGA studies of the individual tumor types. We found functionally significant estrogen receptor-regulated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and gene/lncRNA interaction networks. Pathway analysis identified subtypes with high leukocyte infiltration, raising potential implications for immunotherapy. Using 16 key molecular features, we identified five prognostic subtypes and developed a decision tree that classified patients into the subtypes based on just six features that are assessable in clinical laboratories.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) infect epithelial cells and are causally associated with cervical cancer, but HPV infection is not sufficient for carcinogenesis. Previously, we reported that estrogen signaling in the stromal tumor microenvironment is associated with cervical cancer maintenance and progression. We have now determined how HPV oncogenes and estrogen treatment affect genome-wide host gene expression in laser-captured regions of the cervical epithelium and stroma of untreated or estrogen-treated nontransgenic and HPV-transgenic mice. HPV oncogene expression in the cervical epithelium elicited significant gene-expression changes in the proximal stromal compartment, and estrogen treatment uniquely affected gene expression in the cervical microenvironment of HPV-transgenic mice compared with nontransgenic mice. Several potential estrogen-induced paracrine-acting factors were identified in the expression profile of the cervical tumor microenvironment. The microenvironment of estrogen-treated HPV-transgenic mice was significantly enriched for chemokine/cytokine activity and inflammatory and immune functions associated with carcinogenesis. This inflammatory signature included several proangiogenic CXCR2 receptor ligands. A subset of the same CXCR2 ligands was likewise increased in cocultures of early-passage cells from human cervical samples, with levels highest in cocultures of cervical fibroblasts and cancer-derived epithelial cells. Our studies demonstrate that high-risk HPV oncogenes profoundly reprogram the tumor microenvironment independently of and synergistically with estrogen. These observations illuminate important means by which HPVs can cause cancer through alterations in the tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
A small percentage of women with cervical HPV infection progress to cervical neoplasia, and the risk factors determining progression are incompletely understood. We sought to define the genetic loci involved in cervical neoplasia and to assess its heritability using unbiased unrelated case/control statistical approaches. We demonstrated strong association of cervical neoplasia with risk and protective HLA haplotypes that are determined by the amino-acids carried at positions 13 and 71 in pocket 4 of HLA-DRB1 and position 156 in HLA-B. Furthermore, 36% (standard error 2.4%) of liability of HPV-associated cervical pre-cancer and cancer is determined by common genetic variants. Women in the highest 10% of genetic risk scores have approximately >7.1% risk, and those in the highest 5% have approximately >21.6% risk, of developing cervical neoplasia. Future studies should examine genetic risk prediction in assessing the risk of cervical neoplasia further, in combination with other screening methods. Around 1% of women with cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection progress to cervical cancer. Previous studies had indicated that a person’s genetic makeup could predispose to HPV-associated cervical cancer, and that some of the genes likely to be involved include the immune-related human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes among the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). However, it has been difficult to determine which alleles might be associated with cervical pre-cancer or cancer due to the complex and high level of co-inheritance of MHC alleles. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study that assessed the correlation of genetic variants among those with cervical cancer and healthy controls. We show that host genetics is a major determinant of HPV-associated cervical cancer, with 36% of liability due to common genetic variants in the population, and identify both risk and protective HLA alleles. Our study was also sufficiently powerful to identify particular residue variants on a number of the immune-related proteins that provide risk or protection, providing further insight into the biological basis for cervical cancer development. Our findings could lay the foundation for screening for people at increased risk of developing cancer following HPV infection, and aid in the treatment and prognosis of cervical cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the effect of celecoxib on cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN 3). This is a NRG Oncology/Gynecologic Oncology Group study with translational biomarkers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with CIN 3 were randomized to celecoxib 400mg once daily (67 patients) or placebo (63 patients) for 14-18weeks. The primary outcome measure was histologic regression. A test of equal probabilities of success between two therapies was conducted, using Fisher's Exact Test at alpha=10% and 90% power when the treatment arm boosted the probability of success by 30%. Translational analysis included cervical tissue HPV genotyping, COX-2 expression in biopsies, and serum celecoxib and VEGF levels. RESULTS In primary analysis, histologic regression was not significantly higher in the celecoxib group (40%) than in the placebo group (34.1%). However, exploratory analyses suggest patients with high serum VEGF levels exhibited greater regression in the celecoxib arm (47.3%) than in the placebo arm (14.3%). Regression rates were similar by treatment group in patients with low VEGF. VEGF levels increased over time in the placebo group, but remained the same in the treatment group. COX-2 expression in cervical biopsies declined from pre-treatment to the end of treatment with celecoxib; it did not change with placebo. CONCLUSIONS Celecoxib at 400mg once daily for 14-18weeks did not significantly decrease the severity of CIN 3 compared with placebo except, possibly, in subjects with high baseline VEGF. Therefore, serum VEGF levels might identify patients who may benefit from celecoxib or other therapies, personalizing future chemoprevention trials for CIN 3.

Abstract
Background: Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) and its premalignant phase (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia; CIN1-3) are distinguished by gynecologic and pathologic examination, yet no current methodologies can predict precancerous lesions that are destined to progress to ICC. Thus, development of reliable assays to assess patient prognosis is much needed.Methods: Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA methylation is significantly altered in cervical disease. Using an HPV enrichment approach and next-generation DNA sequencing, methylation status was characterized in a case-case comparison of CIN (n = 2 CIN1; n = 2 CIN2; n = 20 CIN3) and ICC (n = 37) samples. Pyrosequencing validated methylation changes at CpGs of interest in a larger sample cohort (n = 61 CIN3; 50 ICC).Results: Global viral methylation, across HPV types, was significantly higher in ICC than CIN3. Average L1 gene methylation in 13 different HPV types best distinguished CIN3 from ICC. Methylation levels at individual CpG sites as a quantitative classifier achieved a sensitivity and specificity of >95% for detecting ICC in HPV 16 samples. Pyrosequencing confirmed significantly higher methylation of these CpGs in E1 of HPV 16 in ICC compared with CIN3.Conclusions: Global HPV methylation is significantly higher in ICC than CIN3, with L1 gene methylation levels performing best for distinguishing CIN3 from ICC. Methylation levels at CpGs in the E1 gene of HPV 16 (972, 978, 1870, and 1958) can distinguish between CIN3 and ICC.Impact: Higher methylation at specific E1 CpGs may associate with increased likelihood of progression to ICC in HPV 16-positive CIN3 lesions.

Abstract
The plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) is an lncRNA that has been designated as an oncogene due to its contribution to the phenotype of multiple cancers. Although the mechanism by which PVT1 influences disease processes has been studied in multiple cancer types, its role in cervical tumorigenesis remains unknown. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the role of PVT1 in cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo. PVT1 expression was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in 121 invasive cervical carcinoma (ICC) samples, 30 normal cervix samples, and cervical cell lines. Functional assays were carried out using both siRNA and LNA-mediated knockdown to examine PVT1's effects on cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, apoptosis, and cisplatin resistance. Our results demonstrate that PVT1 expression is significantly increased in ICC tissue versus normal cervix and that higher expression of PVT1 correlates with poorer overall survival. In cervical cancer cell lines, PVT1 knockdown resulted in significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion, while apoptosis and cisplatin cytotoxicity were significantly increased in these cells. Finally, we show that PVT1 expression is augmented in response to hypoxia and immune response stimulation and that this lncRNA associates with the multifunctional and stress-responsive protein, Nucleolin. Collectively, our results provide strong evidence for an oncogenic role of PVT1 in cervical cancer and lend insight into potential mechanisms by which PVT1 overexpression helps drive cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE No standardized treatment strategies exist for patients with gynecologic malignancies complicated by brain metastases. Identification of poor outcome characteristics, long-term survival indicators, and molecular markers could help individualize and optimize treatment. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 100 gynecologic cancer patients with brain metastases treated at our institution between January 1990 and June 2009. Primary outcome was overall survival (OS) from time of diagnosis of brain metastases. We used univariate and multivariate analyses to evaluate associations between OS and clinical factors. We used immunohistochemistry to examine expression of five molecular markers in primary tumors and brain metastases in a subset of patients and matched controls. Statistical tests included the Student's paired t-test (for marker expression) and Kaplan-Meier test (for correlations). RESULTS On univariate analysis, primary ovarian disease, CA-125<81units/mL at brain metastases diagnosis, and isolated versus multi-focal metastases were all associated with longer survival. Isolated brain metastasis remained the only significant predictor on multivariate analysis (HR 2.66; CI 1.19-5.93; p=0.017). Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) was higher in metastatic brain samples than in primary tumors of controls (p<0.0001). None of the molecular markers were significantly associated with survival. CONCLUSIONS Multi-modality therapy may lead to improved clinical outcomes, and VEGF therapy should be investigated in treatment of brain metastases.

Abstract
Despite improvements in operative management and therapies, overall survival rates in advanced ovarian cancer have remained largely unchanged over the past three decades. Although it is possible to identify high-risk patients following surgery, the knowledge does not provide information about the genomic aberrations conferring risk, or the implications for treatment. To address these challenges, we developed an integrative pathway-index model and applied it to messenger RNA expression from 458 patients with serous ovarian carcinoma from the Cancer Genome Atlas project. The biomarker derived from this approach, IPI59, contains 59 genes from six pathways. As we demonstrate using independent datasets from six studies, IPI59 is strongly associated with overall and progression-free survival, and also identifies high-risk patients who may benefit from enhanced adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
The plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) is an lncRNA that has been designated as an oncogene due to its contribution to the phenotype of multiple cancers. Although the mechanism by which PVT1 influences disease processes has been studied in multiple cancer types, its role in cervical tumorigenesis remains unknown. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate the role of PVT1 in cervical cancer in vitro and in vivo. PVT1 expression was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in 121 invasive cervical carcinoma (ICC) samples, 19 normal cervix samples, and a cervical cell line (SiHa). Further, we used targeted knockdown in conjunction with functional assays to examine PVT1's effects on cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, apoptosis, and cisplatin resistance. Our results demonstrate that PVT1 expression is significantly increased in ICC tissue versus normal cervix. PVT1 knockdown in cervical cancer cell lines resulted in significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Further, apoptosis and cisplatin cytotoxicity were significantly increased in PVT1 siRNA-transfected cells. Finally, we show that PVT1 associates with Nucleolin protein and may aid in its stabilization of GADD45A mRNA providing a possible mechanism by which PVT1 overexpression drives cervical carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Background Previously, we have used clinical and gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to model a pathway-based index predicting outcomes in ovarian carcinoma. This data were obtained from snap-frozen tissue measured with the Affymetrix U133 platform. In the current study, we correlate the data used to model with data derived from TaqMan qPCR both snap frozen and paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples. Methods To compare the effect of preservation methods on gene expression measured by qPCR, we assessed 18 patient and tumor sample matched snap-frozen and FFPE ovarian carcinoma samples. To compare gene measurement technologies, we correlated qPCR data from 10 patients with tumor sample matched snap-frozen ovarian carcinoma samples with the microarray data from TCGA. We normalized results to the average expression of three housekeeping genes. We scaled and centered the data for comparison to the Affymetrix output. Results For the 18 specimens, gene expression data obtained from snap-frozen tissue correlated highly with that from FFPE samples in our TaqMan assay (r > 0.82). For the 10 duplicate TCGA specimens, the reported microarray data correlated well (r = 0.6) with our qPCR data, and ranges of expression along pathways were similar. Conclusions Gene expression data obtained by qPCR from FFPE serous ovarian carcinoma samples can be used to assess in the pathway-based predictive model. The normalization procedures described control variations in expression, and the range calculated along a specific pathway can be interpreted for a patient’s risk profile.

Abstract
Abstract
Although it is becoming increasingly clear that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are intricately involved in numerous cancer types, the mechanisms by which they influence carcinogenesis remain poorly understood. The plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 gene (PVT1) is a lncRNA that has been designated as an oncogene due to its contribution to the phenotype of multiple cancers. Further, our lab has recently demonstrated that human papillomavirus (HPV) integration, a hallmark of invasive cervical cancer (ICC), into the PVT1 locus occurs in multiple cervical tumors. The present study was designed to investigate the role of PVT1 in cervical carcinogenesis. PVT1 expression was measured by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in 41 ICC samples, 20 normal cervix samples, and four cervical cell lines (SiHa, HeLa, DoTc2, and E6/E7-transformed ectocervical epithelial cells). Further, we used siRNA-targeted knockdown in conjunction with functional assays to examine PVT1's effects on cervical cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion, apoptosis, and cisplatin-resistance. Our results demonstrate that PVT1 expression is significantly increased in ICC tissue versus normal cervix. PVT1 knockdown in cervical cancer cell lines resulted in significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Further, apoptosis and cisplatin cytotoxicity were significantly increased in PVT1 siRNA-transfected cells. Collectively, our data suggest that PVT1 may play a crucial role in cervical carcinogenesis. Future work will focus on determining the mechanism(s) by which this lncRNA exerts its multiple effects on cancer-related processes.

Abstract
Abstract
Endometrial cancer is the most common type of gynecologic cancer and annually comprises 3% of all cancer deaths of women in the United States. Additionally, ∼80% of cases are type I endometrial cancer, mainly associated with Pten abnormalities. It was estimated that up to 90% of type I endometrial cancer patients are overweight/obese. Therefore, a regimen to prevent obesity associated tumorigenesis is the most important for type I endometrial cancer. In the current study, the Pten heterozygous (+/-) female mice were used as the model, to study the potentially chemopreventive effects by black raspberries (BRBs). At 3-4 weeks old, Pten (+/-) and wild type female mice were divided into four treatment groups, fed with either AIN-93G control diet (CD), CD with 5% BRBs, 58% fat to induce obesity (HF),or HF with 5% BRBs. All of mice were euthanized at 28 weeks old. In wild type mice, no malignant lesion was identified. In Pten (+/-) mice, HF diet increased 10% focal glandular hyperplasia with atypia lesions when compared with CD diet. Dietary administration of BRBs decreased 19% focal glandular hyperplasia with atypia lesions when compared with CD group. Specifically, BRBs in HF diet inhibited 32% obesity-induced endometrial malignant lesions and significantly lowed lesion multiplicity. Furthermore, cytokine profiles in plasma by Bio-Plex Assay revealed dietary BRBs decreased IL-1β and IL-17A, and lowed TNF-α and GM-CSF when compared with CD and HF group, respectively. In conclusion, this study for the first time suggested BRBs are chemopreventive for obesity-induced endometrial tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) types is essential for the development of cervical cancer and its immediate precursor, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3 (CIN3). However, HPV infection alone is not sufficient to promote cervical carcinogenesis, thus it is hypothesized that the progression to invasive disease is dependent on viral and host factors. For example, it is well established that HPV integration into the host genome is a signature of invasive cervical cancer (ICC). Also, HPV genomes have CpG sites scattered throughout their genes that, with advancing disease, are increasingly methylated by the host cell's DNA methyltransferases. This methylation may alter the expression patterns of viral genes that are relevant to transformation. The goal of the current study was to investigate the landscape of viral-host integration and associated methylation in CIN and ICC. DNA from the lesions of patients diagnosed with either CIN or ICC was captured utilizing HPV and target gene enrichment and next-generation sequencing. DNA libraries were prepared using SureSelectXT Methyl-Seq Target Enrichment Kit (Agilent Technologies) and hybridized with a custom SureSelectXT Library (Agilent Technologies) designed to target 63 HPV types and xGen Lockdown Probes (Integrated DNA Technologies) designed to target 6 cancer-relevant genes. Library samples were pooled and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 2000. Bisulfate treated sequence reads obtained from Illumina Hi-Seq 2000 were analyzed by MethylCoder that generates per-base resolution of methylation data. In MethylCoder, the Genomic short-read nucleotide alignment program (GSNAP) was used for aligning short reads into reference genomes (HPV and hg19). For each CpG site, the methylation rate was calculated as the percentage of unconverted cytosines in each sample. In support of previous work, we found that multiple HPV types exhibited integration into various host genes in ICC. Also, HPV integration occurs in different patterns within the same gene. For example, in one tumor, HPV16 exhibited three distinct integrations into the PVT1 oncogene. Global methylation patterns were found to be unique among HPV types and samples, yet preliminary analysis suggests that the percent methylation in HPV may track with that of the host genome. Further, the overall methylation pattern of the virus was significantly different in CIN versus ICC. Here we provide a discussion of specific nonrandom integration sites across multiple ICC samples and representative HPV methylation profiles from CIN and ICC samples. Our data provide novel insights into the HPV CpG methylation sites and gene targets at viral-cellular junctions of different HPV types from CIN through ICC, thus potentially identifying new biomarkers for use in the screening and diagnosis of cervical cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The immune system is critical for controlling the progression of HPV cervical disease and the development of cancer. This study aimed to identify cervical cancer susceptibility alleles in candidate immune-modulating genes. METHODS Our family-based study involved a cohort of 641 probands (women with ICC/CIN III) and their biologic parents or siblings (641 trios). In the discovery phase (stage 1), involving 288 of the trios, 80 tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 11 immune-modulating genes (IFNG, IFNGR1, IFNGR2, JAK1, JAK2, STAT1, STAT6, IL12A, TNF, LTA and LTB) were evaluated on the GoldenGate platform. We used the combined dataset for a total of 641 trios (stage 2) and the Taqman platform to validate the SNPs that had proved significant in the discovery dataset. The transmission disequilibrium test was used to detect significant shifts in allelic transmissions in the datasets. RESULTS Two SNPs in JAK2 and one SNP in STAT6 showed significant allelic association with cervical cancer in the stage 1 discovery dataset and were replicated in the larger joint analysis stage 2 dataset (JAK2 rs10815144, P=0.0029 and rs12349785, P=0.0058; and STAT6 rs3024971, P=0.0127). An additional SNP in exon 19 of JAK2 (rs2230724) was also examined in the combined dataset due to its strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) with rs10815144. It was also significant (P=0.0335). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest an association of SNPs in JAK2 and STAT6 with cervical cancer. This association should be investigated in additional cervical cancer populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Aberrant expression of SOX4 in endometrial cancer has been identified and partially was contributed to hypermethylation of miR-129-2. Other miRNAs are suspected to influence SOX 4 as well. The current study seeks to identify other hypermethylated miRNAs that regulate SOX4 in endometrial carcinomas. METHODS Methylation levels of miRNA promoter regions were measured by combined bisulfite restriction analysis (COBRA) and pyrosequencing assays. Gene expression was determined by RT-qPCR. Methylation level of a miRNA locus was corrected with clinicopathologic factors for 252 gynecological specimens. RESULTS In silico analysis identified 13 miRNA loci bound on the 3'-UTR of SOX4. Using COBRA assays, increased methylation of miR-203, miR-219-2, miR-596, and miR-618 was detected in endometrial cancer cells relative to those seen in a normal cell line and in normal endometrium. Transfection of a miR-203 mimic decreased SOX4 gene expression. Hypermethylation of miR-203 was detected in 52% of type I endometrioid endometrial carcinomas (n=131) but was not seen in any of 10 uninvolved normal endometria (P<0.001). Methylation status of miR-203 was significantly associated with microsatellite instability and MLH1 methylation in endometrial tumors (P<0.001). Furthermore, hypermethylation of miR-203 was found in endometrioid and clear endometrial subtype tumors, but not in cervical squamous cell and ovarian carcinomas. CONCLUSIONS Hypermethylation of miR-203 is a frequent event in endometrial carcinomas and is strongly associated with microsatellite instability and MLH1 methylation status. Thus, miR-203 methylation level might represent a marker for patients with endometrioid and clear endometrial sub-cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inherited genetic variability contributes to susceptibility to cervical cancer. We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the human epidermal growth factor receptor (ERBB) family with cervical cancer. METHODS We used the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) to look for excessive transmission of tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tSNPs) in ERBB family members EGFR, ERBB2, ERBB3, and ERBB4 in a large sample of women with invasive and in situ cervical cancer and their biological parents (628 trios). The study used a discovery set of trios (244) analyzed by Illumina GoldenGate in which SNPs reaching a P<.05 were re-tested by TaqMan in the combined set of 628. We also explored collaborative effects of different ERBB alleles. RESULTS Based on single SNP TDT tests we identified 16 significant SNPs in the discover stage and six of 14 SNPs that could be assayed by TaqMan were significantly overtransmitted in women with cervical cancer in the combined replication set. Four SNPs were located in intron 1 of EGFR and two SNPs in intron 24 of ERBB4. The EGFR variants are located near multiple enhancers, silencers, and the previously identified functional common polymorphisms in intron 1. CONCLUSIONS Our data provide evidence for the involvement of intron 1 EGFR variants and intron 24 ERBB4 variants in modulating risk for the development of in situ and invasive cervical cancer. These variants should be examined in additional populations and functional studies would be needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Abstract
Statistical methods for variable selection, prediction, and classification have proven extremely useful in moving personalized genomics medicine forward, in particular, leading to a number of genomic-based assays now in clinical use for predicting cancer recurrence. Although invaluable in individual cases, the information provided by these assays is limited. Most often, a patient is classified into one of very few groups (e.g., recur or not), limiting the potential for truly personalized treatment. Furthermore, although these assays provide information on which individuals are at most risk (e.g., those for which recurrence is predicted), they provide no information on the aberrant biological pathways that give rise to the increased risk. We have developed an approach to address these limitations. The approach models a time-to-event outcome as a function of known biological pathways, identifies important genomic aberrations, and provides pathway-based patient-specific assessments of risk. As we demonstrate in a study of ovarian cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas project, the patient-specific risk profiles are powerful and efficient characterizations useful in addressing a number of questions related to identifying informative patient subtypes and predicting survival.

Abstract
Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, play important roles in cancer development by perturbing the expression of target genes. DNA methylation, a well-studied epigenetic event, also influences gene expression and aberrant methylation is frequently observed in cancer. We previously reported a new paradigm in which hypermethylation-mediated silencing of a miRNA de-repressed its oncogenic target in cancer cells. SOX4, an oncogene, was found to be overexpressed in endometrial cancer, partly because of hypermethylation of miR-129-2. Herein, thirteen additional miRNAs targeting on the 3′-end of untranslated regions of SOX4, and encompassing CpG islands, were identified using computational analysis. Hypermethylation of eight of the thirteen miRNAs was detected in at least two of seven endometrial cancer cell lines. miR-203 was selected for further analysis because this locus was predominantly hypermethylated in endometrial cancer cell lines, but not in normal endometrium. miR-203 expression can be reactivated by pharmacologic induction of DNA demethylation and histone acetylation, indicating that the loss of miR-203 expression is associated with promoter hypermethylation in endometrial cancer. Restoration of miR-203 by cell transfection decreased SOX4 expression and reduced proliferation of endometrial cancer cells. To confirm these in vitro findings in primary endometrial tumors, specimens from two cohorts were analyzed for miR-203 methylation by quantitative pyrosequencing or MassARRAY. In one cohort, miR-203 was significantly hypermethylated in endometrial tumors (n=31), but not in adjacent or un-related normal (n=18) specimens. Methylation of this locus is related to lymphatic and vascular invasion. In the other cohort, increased methylation was observed in primary tumors (n=114), but not in normal controls (n=22). Hypermethylation of miR-203 was positively associated with MLH1 methylation and MSI status. In conclusion, we present an emerging phenomenon that epigenetic silencing of multiple miRNAs could lead to overexpression of a single oncogene in endometrial cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cervical tumor response on posttherapy 2[(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is predictive of survival outcome. The purpose of this study was to use gene expression profiling to identify pathways associated with tumor metabolic response. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN This was a prospective tissue collection study for gene expression profiling of 62 pretreatment biopsies from patients with advanced cervical cancer. Patients were treated with definitive radiation. Fifty-three patients received concurrent chemotherapy. All patients underwent a pretreatment and a 3-month posttherapy FDG-PET/computed tomography (CT). Tumor RNA was harvested from fresh frozen tissue and hybridized to Affymetrix U133Plus2 GeneChips. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to identify signaling pathways associated with tumor metabolic response. Immunohistochemistry and in vitro FDG uptake assays were used to confirm our results. RESULTS There were 40 biopsies from patients with a complete metabolic response (PET-negative group) and 22 biopsies from patients with incomplete metabolic response (PET-positive group). The 3-year cause-specific survival estimates were 98% for the PET-negative group and 39% for the PET-positive group (P < 0.0001). GSEA identified alterations in expression of genes associated with the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in patients with a positive follow-up PET. Immunohistochemistry using a tissue microarray of 174 pretreatment biopsies confirmed p-Akt as a biomarker for poor prognosis in cervical cancer. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor LY294002 inhibited FDG uptake in vitro in cervical cancer cell lines. CONCLUSIONS Activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway is associated with incomplete metabolic response in cervical cancer. Targeted inhibition of PI3K/Akt may improve response to chemoradiation.
