Abstract Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) are resected human tumors engrafted into mice for preclinical studies and therapeutic testing. It has been proposed that the mouse host affects tumor evolution during PDX engraftment propagation, affecting accuracy of modeling cancer. Here, we exhaustively analyze copy number alterations (CNAs) in 1,451 matched patient (PT) samples from 509 models. CNA inferences based on DNA sequencing microarray data displayed substantially higher resolution...

Abstract Development of candidate cancer treatments is a resource-intensive process, with the research community continuing to investigate options beyond static genomic characterization. Toward this goal, we have established landscapes 536 patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models across 25 types, together mutation, copy number, fusion, transcriptomic profiles, and NCI-MATCH arms. Compared human tumors, PDXs typically higher purity fit dynamic driver events molecular properties via multiple...

Central to genotoxic responses is their ability sense highly specific signals activate the appropriate repair response. We previously reported that activation of ASCC-ALKBH3 pathway exquisitely alkylation damage in human cells. Yet mechanistic basis for selectivity this was not immediately obvious. Here, we demonstrate RNA but DNA initiating signal process. Aberrantly methylated sufficient recruit ASCC, while an dealkylase suppresses ASCC recruitment during chemical alkylation. In turn,...
