Immuno-genomic atlas for

immune checkpoint blockade-based

cancer immunotherapy

Cancer-Immu is an open-access resource for exploring associations between onco-immunological genomic data and immunophenotype and thus reveals some important biological conclusions with implications for ICB-based immunotherapy. The Cancer-Immu currently contains 4,035 samples with both ICB response outcome and genomic profiling by either bulk sequencing or single-cell technologies. Each genomic profiling provides multiple types of features, including the known or novel signatures predictive of immunotherapy response. Genetic level is comprised of mutation, mutational loads/burden and mutational signature. Transcriptomic level includes expression, expression sum, expression relation pairs and immune cell components. Single-cell level provides gene/protein expression and specific cell population. Cancer-Immu provides meta-analysis and pan-cancer analysis modules for signature prioritization and specific signature assessment. Meta-analysis reveals consistent signatures across multiple study cohorts, while pan-cancer analysis enhances our ability to detect and analyze rare features by aggregating events across cohorts/tumor types.

Signatures prioritization

Signatures prioritization in the meta-analysis is aimed to rank signatures based on their common associations with immunotherapy response across multiple cohorts. The association test is performed in each individual cohort, Effect size and p-values were generated from random effect model of meta-analysis and the signatures are ranked by the p-values. It prioritizes four types of features, mutations, mutational signatures, gene expression and immune cell components, which ranks all genes in features of mutations and expression, 30 mutational signatures and 22 immune cell components.

Mutational signatures were obtained using deconstructSigs package (v1.6.0) in R, which selects combinations of known mutational signatures that account for the observed mutational profile in each sample. Only somatic mutations in exome regions were considered, and trinucleotide counts were normalized by the number of times each trinucleotide context was observed in the exome region.

Clinical outcome data and at least one type of mutation data, transcriptomic data and single-cell data are required.

After uploading, mutation loads/burden will be counted from the mutation number. Mutational signature will be detected based on mutation data by the R package, deconstructSigs. Immune cell component would be calculated based on transcriptomic data first and then batch correction would be performed for pan-cancer analysis. For single-cell data, normalized single-cell expression profiles and the identification of cell population will be generated from gene-cell matrix.

Methods

Cancer-Immu explores the associations of multi-angle features with immunotherapy response, which are derived from a variety types of genomic data, including genetic, transcriptomic and single cell. Genetic level is comprised of mutation, mutational loads/burden, and mutational signature. Transcriptomic level includes expression, expression sum, expression relation pairs and immune cell components. Single-cell level contains gene/protein expression and specific cell population (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Data content of Cancer-Immu.

Cancer-Immu provides meta-analysis and pan-cancer analysis modules to detect consistent and rare omics features associated with immunotherapy response across multiple cohorts. Each analysis includes two functions, signature prioritization and specific signature assessment.

Signatures prioritization in the meta-analysis is aimed to rank signatures based on their common associations with immunotherapy response across multiple cohorts. The association test is performed in each individual cohort. Firstly, we scaled signature values in each individual cohort to z-scores with mean of zero and standard deviation of one. And then effect size and standard error of effect size were calculated from binomial logistic regression using z-scores as terms and immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy response as values. The meta-analysis results of the associations between signature and response (odds ratios) can be estimated by combining individual result in each study via meta-analysis by meta package in R. Then, as a final step, the signatures are ranked by the meta-analysis p-value/FDR (top panel of Figure 2). The detailed view of the association between one signature and ICB responsiveness, OS and PFS, is provided by specific signature assessment module (bottom panel of Figure 2).

Figure 2. Meta-analysis module.

Pan-cancer analysis evaluates and ranks signatures based on their associations with ICB-based response in the aggregated cohort. To detect the associations between rare events and ICB-based response in a large-scale dataset rather than in multiple individual datasets, we aggregated datasets as one big dataset. Some genetic data, including mutation, mutation signatures and immune cell components, were integrated directly without any further process since genomic features are generally comparable and have negligible batch effects across datasets. For incomparable data, to remove platform- or laboratory-specific batch effects, we performed batch correction by using removeBatchEffect function of limma R package along with a design matrix to preserve the response effect. Signatures prioritization calculates the associations between signatures and ICB-based response and then ranks signatures based on the p-value in the aggregated cohort. Specific signature assessment provides a detailed view of the associations between one given signature and ICB therapeutic response, OS and PFS in the aggregated cohort (Figure 3).
