Abstract BACKGROUND The role of plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as a cancer biomarker for tracking treatment response and detecting early relapse has been well described for solid tumors outside the central nervous system (CNS). However, the presence of a blood-brain barrier complicates the application of plasma cfDNA analysis for patients with CNS malignancies. METHODS cfDNA was extracted from plasma of pediatric patients with CNS tumors utilizing a QIAmp® MinElute® kit and quantitated with Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer. Extensive genomic testing, including targeted DNA and RNA solid tumor panels, exome and transcriptome sequencing, as well as copy number array, was performed on matched tumor samples as part of the Texas KidsCanSeq study. An Archer® Reveal ctDNA28 NGS kit was then used for assaying the sensitivity of detecting tumor-specific mutations in the plasma of these patients. RESULTS A median of 10.7ng cfDNA/mL plasma (Interquartile range: 6.4 – 15.3) was extracted from 78 patients at time of study enrollment. Longitudinal samples from 24 patients exhibited a median yield of 7.7ng cfDNA/mL plasma (IQR: 5.9 – 9.1). An initial cohort of 6 patients was identified with 7 somatic variants covered by the Archer® Reveal kit. Four of seven mutations identified in matched tumor specimens were detected in patient plasma at variant allele frequencies ranging from 0.2–1%. CONCLUSIONS While challenging, detection of cfDNA in the plasma of pediatric patients with CNS tumors is possible and is being explored in a larger patient cohort along with pilot studies investigating cerebrospinal fluid as an additional source for tumor-specific cfDNA.

AbstractThe 5-methylcytosines (5mC) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). However, the role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) that are generated from 5mC through active demethylation, in lymphomagenesis is unknown. We profiled genome-wide 5hmC in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from 73 newly diagnosed patients with DLBCL and FL. We identified 294 differentially modified genes between DLBCL and FL. The differential 5hmC in the DLBCL/FL-differentiating genes co-localized with enhancer marks H3K4me1 and H3K27ac. A four-gene panel (CNN2, HMG20B, ACRBP, IZUMO1) robustly represented the overall 5hmC modification pattern that distinguished FL from DLBCL with an area under curve of 88.5% in the testing set. The median 5hmC modification levels in signature genes showed potential for separating patients for risk of all-cause mortality. This study provides evidence that genome-wide 5hmC profiles in cfDNA differ between DLBCL and FL and could be exploited as a non-invasive approach.

Background. Despite great advances in the treatment of burn patients, useful prognostic markers are sparse. During the past years there has been increasing interest in circulating plasma cell free DNA as a potential marker for tissue injury. We have developed a rapid direct fluorescent assay for cell free DNA quantification that allows obtaining accurate, fast, and inexpensive measurements.Objective. To use this technique for measuring plasma cell free DNA levels in burn patients and to further explore the use of cell free DNA as a potential marker of patient outcome in burns.Methods. Cell free DNA levels obtained from 14 burn victims within 6 hours of injury and 14 healthy controls were quantified by a direct rapid fluorometric assay.Results. Patient admission cell free DNA levels were significantly elevated compared with that of controls (1797 ± 1523 ng/mL versus 374 ± 245 ng/mL,P=0.004). There are statistically significant correlations between cell free DNA admission levels and burn degree (Spearman’s correlation = 0.78,P=0.001), total body surface area (Spearman’s correlation = 0.61,P=0.02), and total burn volume (Spearman’s correlation = 0.64,P=0.014).Conclusions. Admission cell free DNA levels can serve as a prognostic factor in burns and future routine use can be made possible by use of our direct rapid fluorometric assay.
