Abstract
Abstract A tumor microbiome has recently been established as present in many cancer types. Further study is needed to define the scope of its role in cancer tumorigenesis, progression, and treatment outcomes. The Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) established a collaboration among eight member institutions to study the tumor microbiome and clinical features across several cancers. We evaluated RNAseq data from n = 2,892 tumors, including colorectal adenocarcinomas, lung adeno- and squamous cell carcinomas, pancreatic adenocarcinomas, sarcomas, melanomas, and thyroid carcinomas, using the tool {exotic}. Matched cancers from the Cancer Genome Atlas were processed by the same method (n = 2,720 samples). Clinical data, including treatment information, lab values, detailed histology, and long-term follow-up, were collected and harmonized across sites. Microbe abundances (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) were associated with clinical features and human gene expression, which was deconvolved into immune cell composition using {CIBERSORT} and {TIMEx}, and aggregated into expression signatures using {tmesig} and {IOSig}. Microbes were found in all tumors and associated with treatment outcomes for all modalities tested, including radiation in colorectal cancer, chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer, and immunotherapy in melanoma. In the case of radiation treatment in colorectal cancer, the microbes also affected outcomes in preclinical model systems and were modified by altering hypoxia levels with the drug atovaquone. Virus prevalence associated with histological subtypes in lung cancer. Similar microbes in ORIEN and TCGA tumors associated with overall survival in subtypes of sarcoma (dedifferentiated liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and others). Finally, microbes associated with expression-based indicators of the tumor microenvironment across cancer types. These results suggest that the tumor microbiome may have broad clinical utility as a biomarker of treatment outcomes and as a target for rational manipulation.
