Introduction Intra-tumor heterogeneity (ITH) is now thought to be a key factor that results in the therapeutic failures and drug resistance, which have arose increasing attention in cancer research. Here, we present an R package, MesKit, for characterizing cancer genomic ITH and inferring the history of tumor evolutionary. MesKit provides a wide range of analyses including ITH evaluation, enrichment, signature, clone evolution analysis via implementation of well-established computational and statistical methods. The source code and documents are freely available through Github (https://github.com/Niinleslie/MesKit). We also developed a shiny application to provide easier analysis and visualization. #### 1.1 Citation In R console, enter `citation("MesKit")`. _**MesKit: A Tool Kit for Dissecting Cancer Evolution of Multi-region Tumor Biopsies through Somatic Alterations (In production)** ### 2. Prepare input Data To analyze with MesKit, you need to provide: * A MAF file of multi-region samples from patients. (`*.maf / *.maf.gz`). **Required** * A clinical file contains the clinical data of tumor samples from each patient. **Required** * Cancer cell fraction (CCF) data of somatic mutations. **Optional but recommended** * A segmentation file. **Optional** * The GISTIC outputs. **Optional** **Note:** `Tumor_Sample_Barcode` should be consistent in all input files, respectively. #### 2.1 MAF files Mutation Annotation Format (MAF) files are tab-delimited text files with aggregated mutations information from VCF Files. The input MAF file could be gz compressed, and allowed values of `Variant_Classification`column can be found at [Mutation Annotation Format Page](https://docs.gdc.cancer.gov/Data/File_Formats/MAF_Format/). The following fields are required to be contained in the MAF files with MesKit. **Mandatory fields:** `Hugo_Symbol`, `Chromosome`, `Start_Position`, `End_Position`, `Variant_Classification`, `Variant_Type`, `Reference_Allele`, `Tumor_Seq_Allele2`, `Ref_allele_depth`, `Alt_allele_depth`, `VAF`, `Tumor_Sample_Barcode` **Note:** * The `Tumor_Sample_Barcode` of each sample should be unique. * The `VAF` (variant allele frequencie) can be on the scale 0-1 or 0-100. **Example MAF file** ```{r echo=FALSE, paged.print=FALSE, rownames.print=FALSE} MAFtable <- read.table(system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.maf", package = "MesKit"), header=TRUE) extractLines <- rbind(MAFtable[1, ], MAFtable[6600, ]) extractLines <- rbind(extractLines, MAFtable[15000, ]) data.frame(extractLines, row.names = NULL) ``` #### 2.2 Clinical data files Clinical data file contains clinical information about each patient and their tumor samples, and mandatory fields are `Tumor_Sample_Barcode`, `Tumor_ID`, `Patient_ID`, and `Tumor_Sample_Label`. **Example clinical data file** ```{r echo=FALSE, paged.print=FALSE, rownames.print=FALSE} ClinInfo <- read.table(system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.clin.txt", package = "MesKit"), header = TRUE) ClinInfo[1:5, ] ``` #### 2.3 CCF files By default, there are six mandatory fields in input CCF file: `Patient_ID`, `Tumor_Sample_Barcode`, `Chromosome`, `Start_Position`, `CCF` and `CCF_Std`/`CCF_CI_High` (required when identifying clonal/subclonal mutations). The `Chromosome` field of your MAF file and CCF file should be in the same format (both in number or both start with "chr"). Notably, `Reference_Allele` and `Tumor_Seq_Allele2` are also required if you want include contains INDELs in the CCF file. **Example CCF file** ```{r echo=FALSE, paged.print=FALSE, rownames.print=FALSE} ccfInfo <- read.table(system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.ccf.tsv", package = "MesKit"), header = TRUE) ccfInfo[1:5, ] ``` #### 2.4 Segmentation files The segmentation file is a tab-delimited file with the following columns: * `Patient_ID` - patient ID * `Tumor_Sample_Barcode` - tumor sample barcode of samples * `Chromosome` - chromosome name or ID * `Start_Position` - genomic start position of segments (1-indexed) * `End_Position` - genomic end position of segments (1-indexed) * `SegmentMean/CopyNumber` - segment mean value or absolute integer copy number * `Minor_CN` - copy number of minor allele **Optional** * `Major_CN` - copy number of major allele **Optional** * `Tumor_Sample_Label` - the specific label of each tumor sample. **Optional** **Note:** Positions are in base pair units. **Example Segmentation file** ```{r echo=FALSE, paged.print=FALSE, rownames.print=FALSE} segInfo <- read.table(system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.seg.txt", package = "MesKit"), header = TRUE) segInfo[1:5, ] ``` ### 3. Installation #### Via Bioconductor ```{r, eval=FALSE} # Installation of MesKit requires Bioconductor version 3.12 or higher if (!requireNamespace("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)){ install.packages("BiocManager") } # The following initializes usage of Bioc 3.12 BiocManager::install(version = "3.12") BiocManager::install("MesKit") ``` #### Via GitHub Install the latest version of this package by typing the commands below in R console: ```{r eval=FALSE} if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE)) { install.packages("devtools") } devtools::install_github("Niinleslie/MesKit") ``` ### 4. Start with the Maf object `readMaf` function creates Maf/MafList objects by reading MAF files, clinical files and cancer cell fraction (CCF) data (optional but recommended). Parameter `refBuild` is used to set reference genome version for Homo sapiens reference (`"hg18"`, `"hg19"` or `"hg38"`). You should set `use.indel.ccf = TRUE` when your `ccfFile` contains INDELs apart from SNVs. ```{r message=FALSE,warning=FALSE} library(MesKit) ``` ```{r} maf.File <- system.file("extdata/", "CRC_HZ.maf", package = "MesKit") ccf.File <- system.file("extdata/", "CRC_HZ.ccf.tsv", package = "MesKit") clin.File <- system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.clin.txt", package = "MesKit") # Maf object with CCF information maf <- readMaf(mafFile = maf.File, ccfFile = ccf.File, clinicalFile = clin.File, refBuild = "hg19") ``` ### 5. Mutational landscape #### 5.1 Mutational profile In order to explore the genomic alterations during cancer progression with multi-region sequencing approach, we provided `classifyMut` function to categorize mutations. The classification is based on shared pattern or clonal status (CCF data is required) of mutations, which can be specified by `class` option. Additionally, `classByTumor` can be used to reveal the mutational profile within tumors. ```{r message=FALSE, fig.align='left', fig.width=11, fig.height=6.5} # Driver genes of CRC collected from [IntOGen] (https://www.intogen.org/search) (v.2020.2) driverGene.file <- system.file("extdata/", "IntOGen-DriverGenes_COREAD.tsv", package = "MesKit") driverGene <- as.character(read.table(driverGene.file)$V1) mut.class <- classifyMut(maf, class = "SP", patient.id = 'V402') head(mut.class) ``` `plotMutProfile` function can visualize the mutational profile of tumor samples. ```{r message=FALSE, fig.align='left', fig.width=11, fig.height=6.5} plotMutProfile(maf, class = "SP", geneList = driverGene, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) ``` #### 5.2 CNA profile The `plotCNA` function can characterize the CNA landscape across samples based on copy number data from segmentation algorithms. Besides, MesKit provides options to integrate GISTIC2 results, which can be obtained from [http://gdac.broadinstitute.org](http://gdac.broadinstitute.org). Please make sure the genome version based on these results is consistent with `refBuild` of the Maf/MafList object . ```{r message=FALSE} # Read segment file segCN <- system.file("extdata", "CRC_HZ.seg.txt", package = "MesKit") # Read gistic output files all.lesions <- system.file("extdata", "COREAD_all_lesions.conf_99.txt", package = "MesKit") amp.genes <- system.file("extdata", "COREAD_amp_genes.conf_99.txt", package = "MesKit") del.genes <- system.file("extdata", "COREAD_del_genes.conf_99.txt", package = "MesKit") seg <- readSegment(segFile = segCN, gisticAllLesionsFile = all.lesions, gisticAmpGenesFile = amp.genes, gisticDelGenesFile = del.genes) seg$V402[1:5, ] ``` ```{r, fig.width=10, fig.align='left', fig.height=5} plotCNA(seg, patient.id = c("V402", "V750", "V824"), use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) ``` ### 6. Measurement of intra-tumor heterogeneity #### 6.1 Within tumors ##### 6.1.1 MATH score The `mathScore` function estimates ITH per sample using mutant-allele tumor heterogeneity (MATH) approach [1](#refer). Typically, the higher the MATH score is, more heterogeneous a tumor sample is [2](#refer) [3](#refer). For MRS, this function can estimate the MATH score within tumor based on the merged VAF when `withTumor = TRUE`. ```{r warning=FALSE, fig.width=8, fig.height=5} # calculate MATH score of each sample mathScore(maf, patient.id = 'V402') ``` ##### 6.1.2 AUC of CCF The `ccfAUC` function calculates the area under the curve (AUC) of the cumulative density function based on the CCFs per tumor. Tumors with higher AUC values are considered to be more heterogeneous [4](#refer). ```{r fig.height=5, fig.width=6, message=FALSE} AUC <- ccfAUC(maf, patient.id = 'V402', use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) names(AUC) ``` ```{r fig.height=4, fig.width=4.5, message=FALSE, fig.align='left'} # show cumulative density plot of CCF AUC$CCF.density.plot ``` ##### 6.1.3 Mutation clustering For a single region/tumor, `mutCluster` function clusters mutations in one dimension by VAFs or CCFs based on a Gaussian finite mixture model (using mclust). This function only focuses on heterozygous mutations within copy-number neutral and loss of heterozygosity (LOH)-free regions when clustering VAFs, as copy number aberrations will alter the fraction of reads bearing mutations. Note that, "low VAF/CCF" populations might be a mixture of subclones mutations represent admixed polyphyletic lineages [14](#refer). ```{r message=FALSE, fig.height=4.5, fig.width=12} mut.cluster <- mutCluster(maf, patient.id = 'V402', use.ccf = TRUE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) clusterPlots <- mut.cluster$cluster.plot cowplot::plot_grid(plotlist = clusterPlots[1:6]) ``` #### 6.2 Between regions/tumors To quantify the genetic divergence of ITH between regions or tumors, we introduced two classical metrics derived from population genetics, which were Wright’s fixation index (Fst) [5](#refer) [6](#refer) [7](#refer) and Nei’s genetic distance [8](#refer). ##### 6.2.1 Fixation index ```{r fig.align='left', fig.width=5, fig.height=4.5, fig.asp=1.0} # calculate the Fst of brain metastasis from V402 calFst(maf, patient.id = 'V402', plot = TRUE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE, withinTumor = TRUE, number.cex = 10)[["V402_BM"]] ``` ##### 6.2.2 Nei’s genetic distance ```{r fig.align='left', fig.width=5, fig.height=4.5, fig.asp=1.0} # calculate the Nei's genetic distance of brain metastasis from V402 calNeiDist(maf, patient.id = 'V402', use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE, withinTumor = TRUE, number.cex = 10)[["V402_BM"]] ``` ### 7. Metastatic routes inference Metastasis remains poorly understood despite its critical clinical significance, and the understanding of metastasis process offers supplementary information for clinical treatments. #### 7.1 Pairwise CCF comparison Distinct patterns of monoclonal versus polyclonal seeding based on the CCFs of somatic mutations between sample/tumor pairs. `compareCCF` function returns a result list of pairwise CCF of mutations, which are identified across samples from a single patient. Recently, this method has been widely used to deduce the potential metastatic route between different paired tumor lesions [9](#refer) [10](#refer). ```{r fig.align='left', fig.width=4, fig.height=4.5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} ccf.list <- compareCCF(maf, pairByTumor = TRUE, min.ccf = 0.02, use.adjVAF = TRUE, use.indel = FALSE) V402_P_BM <- ccf.list$V402$`P-BM` # visualize via smoothScatter R package graphics::smoothScatter(matrix(c(V402_P_BM[, 3], V402_P_BM[, 4]),ncol = 2), xlim = c(0, 1), ylim = c(0, 1), colramp = colorRampPalette(c("white", RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(9, "BuPu"))), xlab = "P", ylab = "BM") ## show driver genes gene.idx <- which(V402_P_BM$Hugo_Symbol %in% driverGene) points(V402_P_BM[gene.idx, 3:4], cex = 0.6, col = 2, pch = 2) text(V402_P_BM[gene.idx, 3:4], cex = 0.7, pos = 1, V402_P_BM$Hugo_Symbol[gene.idx]) title("V402 JSI = 0.341", cex.main = 1.5) ``` #### 7.2 Jaccard similarity index The Jaccard similarity index (JSI) can be used to calculate mutational similarity between regions, which is defined as the ratio of shared variants to all variants for sample pairs [11](#refer). Users can distinguish monoclonal versus polyclonal seeding in metastases (including lymph node metastases and distant metastases) via `calJSI` function, and higher JSI values indicate the higher possibility of polyclonal seeding [12](#refer). ```{r fig.align='left', fig.width=7, fig.height=7, fig.asp=1.0} JSI.res <- calJSI(maf, patient.id = 'V402', pairByTumor = TRUE, min.ccf = 0.02, use.adjVAF = TRUE, use.indel = FALSE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) names(JSI.res) ``` ```{r fig.align='left', fig.width=7, fig.height=7, fig.asp=1.0} # show the JSI result JSI.res$JSI.multi JSI.res$JSI.pair ``` #### 7.3 Neutral evolution The subclonal mutant allele frequencies of a tumor follow a simple power-law distribution predicted by neutral growth [13](#refer). Users can evaluate whether a tumor follows neutral evolution or not under strong selection via the `testNeutral` function. Tumors with R^2^ >= `R2.threshold` (Default: 0.98) are considered to follow neutral evolution. Besides, this function can also generate the model fitting plot of each sample if the argument `plot` is set to`TRUE`. Please note that this analysis has been superseded by [*mobster*](https://github.com/caravagnalab/mobster) [14](#refer). ```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.height=4, fig.width=4} neutralResult <- testNeutral(maf, min.mut.count = 10, patient.id = 'V402', use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) neutralResult$neutrality.metrics neutralResult$model.fitting.plot$P_1 ``` ### 8. Phylogenetic tree analysis #### 8.1 Phylogenetic tree construction With MesKit, phylogenetic tree construction for each individual is based on the binary present/absence matrix of mutations across all tumor regions. Based on the Maf object, `getPhyloTree` function reconstructs phylogenetic tree in different methods, including "NJ" (Neibor-Joining) , "MP" (maximum parsimony), "ML" (maximum likelihood), "FASTME.ols" and "FASTME.bal", which can be set by controlling the `method` parameter. The phylogenetic tree would be stored in a `phyloTree/phyloTreeList` object, and it can be further used for functional exploration, mutational signature analysis and tree visualization. ```{r} phyloTree <- getPhyloTree(maf, patient.id = "V402", method = "NJ", min.vaf = 0.06) ``` #### 8.2 Compare Phylogenetic trees Comparison between phylogenetic trees can reveal consensus patterns of tumor evolution. The `compareeTree` function computes distances between phylogenetic trees constructed through different methods, and it returns a vector containing four distances by `treedist` from `phangorn` R package. See [treedist](http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip/doc/treedist.html) for details. ```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.height=4, fig.width=10} tree.NJ <- getPhyloTree(maf, patient.id = 'V402', method = "NJ") tree.MP <- getPhyloTree(maf, patient.id = 'V402', method = "MP") # compare phylogenetic trees constructed by two approaches compareTree(tree.NJ, tree.MP, plot = TRUE, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) ``` #### 8.3 Functional exploration (custom module) Users can conduct functional exploration based on `phyloTree` objects. Below is an example showing how to perform KEGG enrichment analysis via [ClusterProfiler](https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/clusterProfiler.html) by extracting genes in certain categories from a phylotree object. ```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE, fig.width=4.5, fig.height=4.5} library(org.Hs.eg.db) library(clusterProfiler) # Pathway enrichment analysis V402.branches <- getMutBranches(phyloTree) # pathway enrichment for private mutated genes of the primary tumor in patient V402 V402_Public <- V402.branches[V402.branches$Mutation_Type == "Private_P", ] geneIDs = suppressMessages(bitr(V402_Public$Hugo_Symbol, fromType="SYMBOL", toType=c("ENTREZID"), OrgDb="org.Hs.eg.db")) KEGG_V402_Private_P = enrichKEGG( gene = geneIDs$ENTREZID, organism = 'hsa', keyType = 'kegg', pvalueCutoff = 0.05, ) dotplot(KEGG_V402_Private_P) ``` #### 8.4 Mutational characteristics analysis The sequence context of the base substitutions can be retrieved from the corresponding reference genome to construct a mutation matrix with counts for all 96 trinucleotide changes using “mut_matrix”. Subsequently, the 6 base substitution type spectrum can be plotted with “plot_spectrum” , which can be divided into several sample groups. `mutTrunkBranch` function calculates the fraction of branch/trunk mutations occurring in each of the six types of base substitution types (C>A, C>G, C>T, T>A, T>C, T>G) and conducts two-sided Fisher’s exact tests. For C>T mutations, it can be further classified as C>T at CpG sites or other sites by setting `CT = TRUE`. This function provides option `plot` to show the distribution of branch/trunk mutations. Substitutions types with significant difference between trunk and branch mutations are marked with Asterisks. ```{r message=FALSE, warning = FALSE} # load the genome reference library(BSgenome.Hsapiens.UCSC.hg19) ``` ```{r, warning = FALSE, message=FALSE} mutClass <- mutTrunkBranch(phyloTree, CT = TRUE, plot = TRUE) names(mutClass) ``` ```{r, warning = FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.height=4.5, fig.width=4.5} mutClass$mutTrunkBranch.res mutClass$mutTrunkBranch.plot ``` `triMatrix` function generates a mutation count matrix of 96 trinucleotides based on somatic SNVs per sample, which can be later fed into the `fitSignatures` function to estimates the optimal contributions of known signatures to reconstruct a mutational profile. Besides, the signature matrix can be specified (`"cosmic_v2"`, `"exome_cosmic_v3"` and `"nature2013"`) or provided by users via `signaturesRef` parameter. `plotMutSigProfile` function can be utilized to visualize both original mutational profile and reconstructed mutational profile. ```{r, warning = FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.height=2.5, fig.width=8} trimatrix_V402 <- triMatrix(phyloTree, level = 5) # Visualize the 96 trinucleodide mutational profile plotMutSigProfile(trimatrix_V402)[[1]] ``` ```{r, fig.height=5.2, fig.width=8} # reconstruct mutational profile of V402 using COSMIC V2 signatures fit_V402 <- fitSignatures(trimatrix_V402, signaturesRef = "cosmic_v2") # Compare the reconstructed mutational profile with the original mutational profile plotMutSigProfile(fit_V402)[[1]] ``` ```{r, warning = FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.height=4,5, fig.width=7.5} # Below plot shows cosine similarities between the mutational profile of each group and COSMIC signatures library(ComplexHeatmap) ComplexHeatmap::Heatmap(fit_V402$V402$cosine.similarity, name = "Cosine similarity") ``` ### 9. Phylogenetic tree visualization The `plotPhyloTree` functionan of MesKit implemented an auto-layout algorithm to visualize rooted phylogenetic trees with annotations. The branches can be either colored according to classification of mutations or putative known signatures by `branchCol` parameter. Argument `show.bootstrap` is provided to show the support values of internal nodes. Additionally, a phylogenetic tree along with a heatmap of mutation profile (via `mutHeatmap` functionan) enable a better depiction of mutational patterns in tumor phylogeny. ```{r, fig.align='left', fig.width=12, fig.height=6, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} # A phylogenetic tree along with binary and CCF heatmap of mutations phylotree_V402 <- plotPhyloTree(phyloTree, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) binary_heatmap_V402 <- mutHeatmap(maf, min.ccf = 0.04, use.ccf = FALSE, patient.id = "V402", use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) CCF_heatmap_V402 <- mutHeatmap(maf, use.ccf = TRUE, patient.id = "V402", min.ccf = 0.04, use.tumorSampleLabel = TRUE) cowplot::plot_grid(phylotree_V402, binary_heatmap_V402, CCF_heatmap_V402, nrow = 1, rel_widths = c(1.5, 1, 1)) ``` ### 10.
