[0001] This invention was made with government support under Grant Number CA199064 CA274298, CA257911, CA211000, and CA106209 awarded by the National Institutes of Health; and Grant Number DGE-204-435 awarded by the National Science Foundation. The government has certain rights in the invention. REFERENCE TO A “SEQUENCE LISTING,” A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING APPENDIX SUBMITTED AS AN ASCII TEXT FILE

[0002] This application contains a ST.26 sequence listing appendix. It has been submitted electronically via EFS-Web as an XML file entitled “150-35-PCT.XML”. The ST.26 sequence listing is 149,152 bytes in size and was created on 06 MAY 2025. It is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. 1. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.1. Introduction

[0003] The “background” description provided herein is for the purpose of generally presenting the context of the disclosure. Work of the presently named inventors, to the extent it is described in this background section, as well as aspects of the description which may not otherwise qualify as prior art at the time of filing, are neither expressly nor impliedly admitted as prior art against the present disclosure.

[0004] It is widely recognized that the PDAC tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role, and can be both tumor restraining and tumor permissive1–4. PDAC is characterized by an extremely dense desmoplasia, represented as a complex mixture of extracellular matrix (ECM), blood vessels, immune cells, as well as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF)5–10. CAFs are key regulators in the TME. Clinical trials attempting to target the PDAC TME have been disappointing11–14. These results may be partially explained by the loss of tumor restraint with genetic depletion of CAFs in genetically engineered mouse models2,3,15.

[0005] We previously reported two PDAC stroma groups, “activated” and “normal”, where patients with “activated stroma” had decreased survival relative to normal stroma16. Maurer et al. used microdissected patient samples to derive two TME groups called “ECM-rich” and “immune- rich” stroma, with “ECM-rich” showing shorter survival17. With recent advances in single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) technology, studies on the PDAC stroma have rapidly shifted to the 1Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT study of individual CAF and immune cell populations. In a landmark study, Elyada et. al identified “myCAF” and “iCAF” cell clusters from scRNAseq dataset (Elyada-sc) that enriched for CAF cells using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), and demonstrated gene expression signatures in the two phenotypically distinct “myCAF” and “iCAF” cell populations described in their corresponding preclinical studies18,19. More recently, additional CAF subpopulations (e.g. “csCAF”, “meCAF”, etc.) have been described20–22, as well as CAF subtypes with differential histology features23,24, and CAF related gene programs25. However, a large-scale integrative and systematic evaluation of the clinical significance of these proposed CAF subtypes or subpopulations remains lacking. 2. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The present disclosure provides a method for determining a permissive cancer- associated fibroblast (permCAF) subtype or a restraining cancer-associated fibroblast (restCAF) subtype of a tumor in a biological sample, the method comprising: (a) obtaining gene expression levels for each of the following genes in the biological sample, ABCA8, ANK2, BICD1, CHRDL1, CNIH3, COL11A1, ETV1, FBLN5, IGFL2, ITGA11, KIAA1217, NOX4, NPR3, OGN, PI16, SCARA5, TGFBR3, and VSNL1; (b) performing a pair-wise comparison of the gene expression levels for each permCAF and restCAF pair in a row as follows: permCAF restCAF Coefficient(c) calculating a Top Scoring Pair (TSP) Score for the biological sample, wherein the calculating comprises: (i) assigning a value of 1 for each pair for which a permCAF gene of the pair has a higher expression level than a restCAF gene of the pair, and a value of 0 for each pair for which the permCAF gene of the pair has a lower expression level than the restCAF gene of each pair; 2Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT (ii) multiplying each assigned value by the coefficient listed above corresponding to each pair to calculate nine individual pair scores; and (iii) summing the nine individual pair scores together along with a baseline effect (intercept = -8.4) to calculate the TSP Score for the biological sample; and (d) converting the TSP Score to a subtype probability using the inverse-logit transformation subtype probability = expTSP Score / (1 + expTSP Score), wherein if the subtype probability is greater than or equal to 0.5, the tumor subtype is determined to be a permCAF subtype and if the subtype probability if less than 0.5, the tumor subtype is determined to be a restCAF subtype.

[0007] In the method above, we also define 0.5^ subtype probability < 0.6 as the “lean permCAF” subtype, 0.6 ^ subtype probability < 0.9 as the “likely permCAF”, and 0.9 ^ subtype probability ^ 1.0 as the “strong permCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the permCAF call, in increasing order. Similarly, we define 0.4 ^ subtype probability < 0.5 as the “lean restCAF” subtype, 0.1 ^ subtype probability < 0.4 as the “likely restCAF”, and 0 ^ subtype probability ^ 0.1 as the “strong restCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the restCAF call, in increasing order.

[0008] The disclosure also provides a method of determining a prognosis for a subject with a cancer, the method comprising: (a) determining if a tumor in a biological sample from the subject with cancer is a permissive cancer-associated fibroblast (permCAF) subtype or a restraining cancer-associated fibroblast (restCAF) subtype by obtaining gene expression levels for each of the following genes in the biological sample ABCA8, ANK2, BICD1, CHRDL1, CNIH3, COL11A1, ETV1, FBLN5, IGFL2, ITGA11, KIAA1217, NOX4, NPR3, OGN, PI16, SCARA5, TGFBR3, and VSNL1; (b) performing a pair-wise comparison of the gene expression levels for each permCAF and restCAF pair in a row as follows: permCAF restCAF CoefficientPatent Atty.

Patients with a poor prognosis may benefit from more aggressive treatments such as high-dose chemotherapy. On the other hand, patients with a good prognosis will have a higher overall survival rate and are less likely to benefit of aggressive or experimental treatments.

[0013] In the method above, we also define 0.5^ subtype probability < 0.6 as the “lean permCAF” subtype, 0.6 ^ subtype probability < 0.9 as the “likely permCAF”, and 0.9 ^ subtype probability ^ 1.0 as the “strong permCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the permCAF call, in increasing order.

[0015] In the methods above, the cancer may be a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a mesothelioma, a urothelial carcinoma, or a renal cell carcinoma. In those cancers and the methods above, the biological sample may comprise a fresh sample, a frozen sample, or a formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sample. A variety of techniques may be used to obtain gene expression levels for these cancers and the methods above. Preferably, the gene expression levels are obtained by microarray analysis, RNAseq, quantitative RT-PCR, next-gen sequencing, multiplexed direct digital counting, such as NanoString’s nCounter® system, or a combination thereof.

[0016] For these cancers and in the methods of identifying differential treatment strategies or methods of treatment above, if the tumor is identified as the restCAF subtype, the differential treatment may be a treatment targeting a cancer expressing the restCAF subtype which may comprise an anti-PD-L1 immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy. In some embodiments, the chemotherapy may be a VEGF signaling pathway blocker. In the treatment strategies or methods of treatment above, if the tumor is identified as the permCAF subtype, the treatment may be a treatment targeting a cancer expressing the permCAF subtype which may CCR2 immunotherapy in combination with chemotherapy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] Cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) subpopulations in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have been identified using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) with divergent physical and biological characteristics. Using SCISSORS, a method that we previously developed to sensitively cluster rare cells and identify highly cell-subpopulation- specific marker genes in scRNAseq, we identify uniquely expressed marker genes for CAF clusters that robustly translate to bulk RNAseq. We show that these marker genes define subtypes with prognostic and therapeutic significance, which we define as permissive (perm) and restraining (rest) CAFs. We develop a single-sample classifier (SSC), DeCAF, to facilitate the robust and replicable classification of PDAC CAF subtypes and validate it in 12 independent bulk transcriptomic datasets. We find that DeCAF subtypes are independently prognostic, have distinct histology features, different immune landscapes, and are associated with response to immunotherapy. Furthermore, DeCAF subtypes are relevant in other cancer types, including mesothelioma. In bladder and renal cell cancers, DeCAF subtypes are prognostic and associated with anti-PD-L1 response. Here we demonstrate that DeCAF is a clinically usable and robust method to evaluate the impact of CAF subtypes in patients with mesothelioma, renal cell, bladder and pancreatic cancers. Significance

[0028] We have developed a replicable and robust classifier, DeCAF, that delineates the biological and clinical significance of the role of CAF subtypes in patients. Our results will advance the translation of preclinical CAF research, laying the groundwork for the development of CAF subtype specific therapies as well as introducing a clinically tractable CAF based subtype classifier, which may be both predictive and prognostic. 4.1.

[0047] While the following terms are believed to be well understood by one of ordinary skill in the art, the following definitions are set forth to facilitate explanation of the presently disclosed subject matter.

[0048] Throughout the present specification, the terms “about” and / or “approximately” may be used in conjunction with numerical values and / or ranges. The term “about” is understood to mean those values near to a recited value. For example, “about 40 [units]” may mean within ± 25% of 40 (e.g., from 30 to 50), within ± 20%, ± 15%, ± 10%, ± 9%, ± 8%, ± 7%, ± 6%, ± 5%, ± 4%, ± 3%, ± 2%, ± 1%, less than ± 1%, or any other value or range of values therein or there below. Alternatively, depending on the context, the term “about” may mean ± one half a standard deviation, ± one standard deviation, or ± two standard deviations. Furthermore, the phrases “less than about [a value]” or “greater than about [a value]” should be understood in view of the definition of the term “about” provided herein. The terms “about” and “approximately” may be used interchangeably.

[0049] Throughout the present specification, numerical ranges are provided for certain quantities. It is to be understood that these ranges comprise all subranges therein. Thus, the range “from 50 to 80” includes all possible ranges therein (e.g., 51-79, 52-78, 53-77, 54-76, 55-75, 60- 70, etc.). Furthermore, all values within a given range may be an endpoint for the range encompassed thereby (e.g., the range 50-80 includes the ranges with endpoints such as 55-80, 50- 75, etc.).

[0050] As used herein, the verb “comprise” as used in this description and in the claims and its conjugations are used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.

[0051] Throughout the specification the word “comprising,” or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising,” will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps. The present disclosure may suitably “comprise”, “consist of”, or “consist essentially of”, the steps, elements, and / or reagents described in the claims. 14Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0052] As used herein, "remission" means and includes a period during which the symptoms of a cancer have been reduced or eliminated, as remission is ordinarily defined in the oncology art.

[0053] As used herein "serially monitoring" levels of a biomarker in a sample, refers to measuring levels of a biomarker in a sample more than once, e.g., quarterly, bimonthly, monthly, biweekly, weekly, every three days, daily, or several times per day. Serial monitoring of a level includes periodically measuring levels of biomarkers at regular intervals as deemed necessary by the skilled artisan.

[0054] The term "standard level" as used herein refers to a baseline level of a biomarker as determined in one or more normal subjects. For example, a baseline may be obtained from at least one subject and preferably is obtained from an average of subjects (e.g., n=2 to 100 or more), wherein the subject or subjects have no prior history of cancer. In the present invention, the measurement of biomarker levels may be carried out using the multiplexed copy number as described.

[0055] As used herein, "elevation" of a measured level of a biomarker relative to a standard level means that the amount or concentration of a biomarker in a sample is sufficiently greater in a subject relative to the standard to be detected by the methods described herein. For example, elevation of the measured level relative to a standard level may be any statistically significant elevation which is detectable. Such an elevation may include, but is not limited to, about a 1%, about a 10%, about a 20%, about a 40%, about an 80%, about a 2-fold, about a 4-fold, about an 8- fold, about a 20-fold, or about a 100-fold elevation, or more, relative to the standard. The term "about" as used herein, refers to a numerical value plus or minus 10% of the numerical value.

[0056] It is further noted that the claims may be drafted to exclude any optional element. As such, this statement is intended to serve as antecedent basis for use of such exclusive terminology as "solely", "only" and the like in connection with the recitation of claim elements, or the use of a "negative" limitation.

[0057] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Preferred methods, devices, and materials are described, although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present disclosure. All references cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. 4.3. COMPUTING DEVICES 15Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0058] A computing device may be implemented in programmable hardware devices such as processors, digital signal processors, central processing units, field programmable gate arrays, programmable array logic, programmable logic devices, cloud processing systems, or the like. The computing devices may also be implemented in software for execution by various types of processors. An identified device may include executable code and may, for instance, comprise one or more physical or logical blocks of computer instructions, which may, for instance, be organized as an object, procedure, function, or other construct. Nevertheless, the executable of an identified device need not be physically located together but may comprise disparate instructions stored in different locations which, when joined logically together, comprise the computing device and achieve the stated purpose of the computing device. In another example, a computing device may be a server or other computer located within a hospital or out-patient environment and communicatively connected to other computing devices (e.g., POS equipment or computers) for managing accounting, purchase transactions, and other processes within the hospital or out-patient environment. In another example, a computing device may be a mobile computing device such as, for example, but not limited to, a smart phone, a cell phone, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile computer with a smart phone client, or the like. In another example, a computing device may be any type of wearable computer, such as a computer with a head- mounted display (HMD), or a smart watch or some other wearable smart device. Some of the computer sensing may be part of the fabric of the clothes the user is wearing. A computing device can also include any type of conventional computer, for example, a laptop computer or a tablet computer. A typical mobile computing device is a wireless data access-enabled device (e.g., an iPHONE® smart phone, a BLACKBERRY® smart phone, a NEXUS ONE™ smart phone, an iPAD® device, smart watch, or the like) that is capable of sending and receiving data in a wireless manner using protocols like the Internet Protocol, or IP, and the wireless application protocol, or WAP. This allows users to access information via wireless devices, such as smart watches, smart phones, mobile phones, pagers, two-way radios, communicators, and the like. Wireless data access is supported by many wireless networks, including, but not limited to, Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, CDPD, CDMA, GSM, PDC, PHS, TDMA, FLEX, ReFLEX, iDEN, TETRA, DECT, DataTAC, Mobitex, EDGE and other 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G, and LTE technologies, and it operates with many handheld device operating systems, such as PalmOS, EPOC, Windows CE, FLEXOS, OS / 9, JavaOS, iOS and Android. Typically, these devices use graphical displays and can access the Internet (or other communications network) on so-called mini- or micro- browsers, which are web browsers with small file sizes that can accommodate the reduced memory constraints of wireless networks. In a representative embodiment, the mobile device is a 16Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT cellular telephone or smart phone or smart watch that operates over GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), which is a data technology for GSM networks or operates over Near Field Communication e.g. Bluetooth. In addition to a conventional voice communication, a given mobile device can communicate with another such device via many different types of message transfer techniques, including Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, SMS (short message service), enhanced SMS (EMS), multi-media message (MMS), email WAP, paging, or other known or later-developed wireless data formats. Although many of the examples provided herein are implemented on smart phones, the examples may similarly be implemented on any suitable computing device, such as a computer.

[0059] An executable code of a computing device may be a single instruction, or many instructions, and may even be distributed over several different code segments, among different applications, and across several memory devices. Similarly, operational data may be identified and illustrated herein within the computing device, and may be embodied in any suitable form and organized within any suitable type of data structure. The operational data may be collected as a single data set, or may be distributed over different locations including over different storage devices, and may exist, at least partially, as electronic signals on a system or network.

[0060] The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosed subject matter. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the disclosed subject matter can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the disclosed subject matter.

[0061] As used herein, the term “memory” is generally a storage device of a computing device. Examples include, but are not limited to, read-only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM).

[0062] The device or system for performing one or more operations on a memory of a computing device may be a software, hardware, firmware, or combination of these. The device or the system is further intended to include or otherwise cover all software or computer programs capable of performing the various heretofore-disclosed determinations, calculations, or the like for the disclosed purposes. For example, exemplary embodiments are intended to cover all software or computer programs capable of enabling processors to implement the disclosed processes. Exemplary embodiments are also intended to cover any and all currently known, related art or later developed non-transitory recording or storage mediums (such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, 17Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT hard drive, RAM, ROM, floppy disc, magnetic tape cassette, etc.) that record or store such software or computer programs. Exemplary embodiments are further intended to cover such software, computer programs, systems and / or processes provided through any other currently known, related art, or later developed medium (such as transitory mediums, carrier waves, etc.), usable for implementing the exemplary operations disclosed below.

[0063] In accordance with the exemplary embodiments, the disclosed computer programs can be executed in many exemplary ways, such as an application that is resident in the memory of a device or as a hosted application that is being executed on a server and communicating with the device application or browser via a number of standard protocols, such as TCP / IP, HTTP, XML, SOAP, REST, JSON and other sufficient protocols. The disclosed computer programs can be written in exemplary programming languages that execute from memory on the device or from a hosted server, such as BASIC, COBOL, C, C++, Java, Pascal, or scripting languages such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, Perl, or other suitable programming languages.

[0064] As referred to herein, the terms “computing device” and “entities” should be broadly construed and should be understood to be interchangeable. They may include any type of computing device, for example, a server, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smart phone, a cell phone, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA, e.g., with GPRS NIC), a mobile computer with a smartphone client, or the like.

[0065] As referred to herein, a user interface is generally a system by which users interact with a computing device. A user interface can include an input for allowing users to manipulate a computing device, and can include an output for allowing the system to present information and / or data, indicate the effects of the user’s manipulation, etc. An example of a user interface on a computing device (e.g., a mobile device) includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to interact with programs in more ways than typing. A GUI typically can offer display objects, and visual indicators, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation to represent information and actions available to a user. For example, an interface can be a display window or display object, which is selectable by a user of a mobile device for interaction. A user interface can include an input for allowing users to manipulate a computing device, and can include an output for allowing the computing device to present information and / or data, indicate the effects of the user’s manipulation, etc. An example of a user interface on a computing device includes a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to interact with programs or applications in more ways than typing. A GUI typically can offer display objects, and visual indicators, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation to represent information and actions available to a user. For example, a user interface 18Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT can be a display window or display object, which is selectable by a user of a computing device for interaction. The display object can be displayed on a display screen of a computing device and can be selected by and interacted with by a user using the user interface. In an example, the display of the computing device can be a touch screen, which can display the display icon. The user can depress the area of the display screen where the display icon is displayed for selecting the display icon. In another example, the user can use any other suitable user interface of a computing device, such as a keypad, to select the display icon or display object. For example, the user can use a track ball or arrow keys for moving a cursor to highlight and select the display object.

[0066] The display object can be displayed on a display screen of a mobile device and can be selected by and interacted with by a user using the interface. In an example, the display of the mobile device can be a touch screen, which can display the display icon. The user can depress the area of the display screen at which the display icon is displayed for selecting the display icon. In another example, the user can use any other suitable interface of a mobile device, such as a keypad, to select the display icon or display object. For example, the user can use a track ball or times program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present disclosure.

[0067] As referred to herein, a computer network may be any group of computing systems, devices, or equipment that are linked together. Examples include, but are not limited to, local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). A network may be categorized based on its design model, topology, or architecture. In an example, a network may be characterized as having a hierarchical internetworking model, which divides the network into three layers: access layer, distribution layer, and core layer. The access layer focuses on connecting client nodes, such as workstations to the network. The distribution layer manages routing, filtering, and quality-of- server (QoS) policies. The core layer can provide high-speed, highly-redundant forwarding services to move packets between distribution layer devices in different regions of the network. The core layer typically includes multiple routers and switches.

[0068] The present subject matter may be a system, a method, and / or a computer program product. The computer program product may include a computer readable storage medium (or media) having computer readable program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present subject matter.

[0069] The computer readable storage medium can be a tangible device that can retain and store instructions for use by an instruction execution device. The computer readable storage medium may be, for example, but is not limited to, an electronic storage device, a magnetic 19Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT storage device, an optical storage device, an electromagnetic storage device, a semiconductor storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. A non-exhaustive list of more specific examples of the computer readable storage medium includes the following: a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a RAM, a ROM, an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), a static random access memory (SRAM), a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), a digital versatile disk (DVD), a memory stick, a floppy disk, a mechanically encoded device such as punch-cards or raised structures in a groove having instructions recorded thereon, and any suitable combination of the foregoing. A computer readable storage medium, as used herein, is not to be construed as being transitory signals per se, such as radio waves or other freely propagating electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic waves propagating through a waveguide or other transmission media (e.g., light pulses passing through a fiber-optic cable), or electrical signals transmitted through a wire.

[0070] Computer readable program instructions described herein can be downloaded to respective computing / processing devices from a computer readable storage medium or to an external computer or external storage device via a network, for example, the Internet, a local area network, a wide area network and / or a wireless network, or Near Field Communication. The network may comprise copper transmission cables, optical transmission fibers, wireless transmission, routers, firewalls, switches, gateway computers and / or edge servers. A network adapter card or network interface in each computing / processing device receives computer readable program instructions from the network and forwards the computer readable program instructions for storage in a computer readable storage medium within the respective computing / processing device.

[0071] Computer readable program instructions for carrying out operations of the present subject matter may be assembler instructions, instruction-set-architecture (ISA) instructions, machine instructions, machine dependent instructions, microcode, firmware instructions, state- setting data, or either source code or object code written in any combination of one or more programming languages, including an object oriented programming language such as Java, Smalltalk, C++, Javascript or the like, and conventional procedural programming languages, such as the "C" programming language or similar programming languages. The computer readable program instructions may execute entirely on the user's computer, partly on the user's computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user's computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the latter scenario, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer through any type of network, including a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), or the connection may be made to an external computer 20Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT (for example, through the Internet using an Internet Service Provider). In some embodiments, electronic circuitry including, for example, programmable logic circuitry, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), or programmable logic arrays (PLA) may execute the computer readable program instructions by utilizing state information of the computer readable program instructions to personalize the electronic circuitry, in order to perform aspects of the present subject matter.

[0072] Aspects of the present subject matter are described herein with reference to flowchart illustrations and / or block diagrams of methods, apparatus (systems), and computer program products according to embodiments of the subject matter. It will be understood that each block of the flowchart illustrations and / or block diagrams, and combinations of blocks in the flowchart illustrations and / or block diagrams, can be implemented by computer readable program instructions.

[0073] These computer readable program instructions may be provided to a processor of a computer, special purpose computer, or other programmable data processing apparatus to produce a machine, such that the instructions, which execute via the processor of the computer or other programmable data processing apparatus, create means for implementing the functions / acts specified in the flowchart and / or block diagram block or blocks. These computer readable program instructions may also be stored in a computer readable storage medium that can direct a computer, a programmable data processing apparatus, and / or other devices to function in a particular manner, such that the computer readable storage medium having instructions stored therein comprises an article of manufacture including instructions which implement aspects of the function / act specified in the flowchart and / or block diagram block or blocks.

[0074] The computer readable program instructions may also be loaded onto a computer, other programmable data processing apparatus, or other device to cause a series of operational steps to be performed on the computer, other programmable apparatus or other device to produce a computer implemented process, such that the instructions which execute on the computer, other programmable apparatus, or other device implement the functions / acts specified in the flowchart and / or block diagram block or blocks.

[0075] The description illustrates the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods, and computer program products according to various embodiments of the present subject matter. In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams may represent a module, segment, or portion of instructions, which comprises one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical function(s). In some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the block may occur out of the order noted in the herein. For example, two blocks shown in succession may, in fact, be executed substantially 21Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. It will also be noted that each block of the block diagrams and / or flowchart illustration, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and / or flowchart illustration, can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based systems that perform the specified functions or acts or carry out combinations of special purpose hardware and computer instructions. 4.4. SAMPLES

[0076] The sample may be from a subject suspected of having a particular cancer or from a patient diagnosed with cancer, e.g., for confirmation of diagnosis or establishing a clear margin or for the detection of cancer cells in other tissues such as lymph nodes or circulating tumor cells. The biological sample may also be from a subject with an ambiguous diagnosis in order to clarify the diagnosis. The sample may be obtained for the purpose of differential diagnosis, e.g., a subject with a histopathologically benign lesion to confirm the diagnosis. The sample may also be obtained for the purpose of prognosis, i.e., determining the course of the disease and selecting primary treatment options. Tumor staging and grading are examples of prognosis. The sample may also be evaluated to select or monitor therapy, selecting likely responders in advance from non-responders or monitoring response in the course of therapy. In addition, the sample may be evaluated as part of post-treatment ongoing surveillance of patients who have had cancer.

[0077] Samples may be obtained using any of a number of methods in the art. Examples of biological samples comprising potential cancer cells include those obtained from excised biopsies, such as punch biopsies, shave biopsies, core needle biopsies, fine needle aspirates (FNA), or surgical excisions; or biopsy from tissues such as lymph node tissue, mucosa, etc. In addition, the sample may be from a distant metastatic site, a soft tissue, e.g., lung, liver, bone, skin, or brain. Representative biopsy techniques include, but are not limited to, excisional biopsy, incisional biopsy, pinch biopsy, forceps biopsy, needle biopsy, or surgical biopsy. An "excisional biopsy" refers to the removal of an entire tumor mass with a small margin of normal tissue surrounding it. An "incisional biopsy" refers to the removal of a wedge of tissue that includes a cross-sectional diameter of the tumor. A diagnosis or prognosis made by endoscopy or fluoroscopy may require a "core-needle biopsy" of the tumor mass, or a "fine-needle aspiration biopsy" which generally contains a suspension of cells from within the tumor mass. The biological sample may be a microdissected sample, such as a PALM-laser (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH, Germany) capture microdissected sample. 22Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0078] A sample may also be a sample of an organ, a mucosal surface, blood and blood fractions or products (e.g., serum, plasma, platelets, red blood cells, white blood cells, circulating tumor cells isolated from blood, free DNA isolated from blood, and the like), sputum, saliva, lymph and tongue tissue, cultured cells, e.g., primary cultures, explants, and transformed cells, stool, urine, etc. The sample may also be vascular tissue or cells from blood vessels such as microdissected blood vessel cells of endothelial origin. A sample is typically obtained from a eukaryotic organism, most preferably a mammal such as a primate e.g., chimpanzee or human, cow, dog, cat; or a rodent, e.g., guinea pig, rat, mouse, rabbit.

[0079] A sample may be one that was treated with a fixative such as formaldehyde and embedded in paraffin (FFPE) and sectioned for use in the methods of the invention. The sample may be an archival FFPE sample. Alternatively, fresh or frozen tissue may be used. These cells may be fixed, e.g., in alcoholic solutions such as 100% ethanol or 3:1 methanol:acetic acid. Nuclei can also be extracted from thick sections of paraffin-embedded specimens to reduce truncation artifacts and eliminate extraneous embedded material. Typically, biological samples, once obtained, are harvested and processed prior to nucleic acid analysis using standard methods known in the art. Such processing typically includes protease treatment and additional fixation in an aldehyde solution such as formaldehyde. 4.5. POLYNUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE AMPLIFICATION AND DETERMINATION

[0080] In many instances, it is desirable to amplify a nucleic acid sequence using any of several nucleic acid amplification procedures which are well known in the art. Specifically, nucleic acid amplification is the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of nucleic acid copies which contain a sequence that is complementary to a nucleic acid sequence being amplified (template). The methods and kits of the invention may use any nucleic acid amplification or detection methods known to one skilled in the art, such as those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,525,462 (Takarada et al.); 6,114,117 (Hepp et al.); 6,127,120 (Graham et al.); 6,344,317 (Urnovitz); 6,448,001 (Oku); 6,528,632 (Catanzariti et al.); and PCT Pub. No. WO 2005 / 111209 (Nakajima et al.); all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0081] In some embodiments, the nucleic acids may be amplified by PCR amplification using methodologies known to one skilled in the art. One skilled in the art will recognize, however, that amplification can be accomplished by other known methods, such as ligase chain reaction (LCR), Qβ-replicase amplification, rolling circle amplification, transcription amplification, self-sustained sequence replication, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), each of which provides sufficient amplification. Branched-DNA technology may also be used to qualitatively 23Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT demonstrate the presence of a sequence of the technology which may quantitatively determine the amount of this particular genomic sequence in a sample.

[0082] The PCR process is well known in the art and is thus not described in detail herein. Multiple sequences may be analyzed simultaneously by PCT using a technique known as multiplex PCR. For a review of PCR methods and protocols, see, e.g., Innis et al., eds., PCR Protocols, A Guide to Methods and Application, Academic Press, Inc., San Diego, Calif. 1990; U.S. Pat. No. 4,683,202 (Mullis); for multiplex-PCR, see, e.g., Henegariu et al., 1997, BioTechniques, 23(3) 504-11; Markoulatos et al., 2002, J. Clin. Lab.

PCR reagents and protocols are also available from commercial vendors, such as Roche Molecular Systems. PCR may be carried out as an automated process with a thermostable enzyme. In this process, the temperature of the reaction mixture is cycled through a denaturing region, a primer annealing region, and an extension reaction region automatically. Machines specifically adapted for this purpose are commercially available. 4.6. HIGH THROUGHPUT AND SINGLE MOLECULE SEQUENCING TECHNOLOGY

[0083] Suitable next generation sequencing technologies are widely available. Examples include the 454 Life Sciences platform (Roche, Branford, CT) (Margulies et al.2005 Nature, 437, 376-380); lllumina’s Genome Analyzer, Illumina’s MiSeq System, Illumina’s NextSeq Systems (e.g., NextSeq 500, NextSeq 500 / 550), Illumina’s MiniSeq System, (Illumina, San Diego, CA); Bibkova et al., 2006, Genome Res. 16, 383-393; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,306,597 and 7,598,035 (Macevicz); 7,232,656 (Balasubramanian et al.)); or DNA Sequencing by Ligation, SOLiD System (Applied Biosystems / Life Technologies; U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,797,470, 7,083,917, 7,166,434, 7,320,865, 7,332,285, 7,364,858, and 7,429,453 (Barany et al.); or the Helicos True Single Molecule DNA sequencing technology (Harris et al., 2008 Science, 320, 106-109; U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,037,687 and 7,645,596 (Williams et al.); 7,169,560 (Lapidus et al.); 7,769,400 (Harris)), the single molecule, real-time (SMRTTM) technology of Pacific Biosciences, and sequencing (Soni and Meller, 2007, Clin. Chem.53, 1996-2001) which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. These systems allow the sequencing of many nucleic acid molecules isolated from a specimen at high orders of multiplexing in a parallel fashion (Dear, 2003, Brief Funct. Genomic 24Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT Proteomic, 1(4), 397-416 and McCaughan and Dear, 2010, J. Pathol., 220, 297-306). Each of these platforms allow sequencing of clonally expanded or non-amplified single molecules of nucleic acid fragments. Certain platforms involve, for example, (i) sequencing by ligation of dye- modified probes (including cyclic ligation and cleavage), (ii) pyrosequencing, (iii) targeted next- generation sequencing from bisulfite treated DNA, and / or (iv) single-molecule sequencing.

[0084] Pyrosequencing is a nucleic acid sequencing method based on sequencing by synthesis, which relies on detection of a pyrophosphate released on nucleotide incorporation. Generally, sequencing by synthesis involves synthesizing, one nucleotide at a time, a DNA strand complementary to the strand whose sequence is being sought. Study nucleic acids may be immobilized to a solid support, hybridized with a sequencing primer, incubated with DNA polymerase, ATP sulfurylase, luciferase, apyrase, adenosine 5' phosphsulfate and luciferin. Nucleotide solutions are sequentially added and removed. Correct incorporation of a nucleotide releases a pyrophosphate, which interacts with ATP sulfurylase and produces ATP in the presence of adenosine 5' phosphosulfate, fueling the luciferin reaction, which produces a chemiluminescent signal allowing sequence determination. Machines for pyrosequencing are available from Qiagen, Inc. (Valencia, CA). An example of a system that can be used by a person of ordinary skill based on pyrosequencing generally involves the following steps: ligating an adaptor nucleic acid to a study nucleic acid and hybridizing the study nucleic acid to a bead; amplifying a nucleotide sequence in the study nucleic acid in an emulsion; sorting beads using a picoliter multiwell solid support; and sequencing the amplified nucleotide sequences by pyrosequencing methodology (e.g., Nakano et al., 2003, J. Biotech. 102, 117-124). Such a system can be used to exponentially amplify amplification products.

[0085] Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a nucleic acid sequencing method based on sequencing by synthesis, where fluorescently labeled deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs) catalyzed by DNA polymerase are incorporated into a DNA temple through cycles of DNA synthesis and nucleotides are identified by fluorophore excitation at each incorporation step. NGS allows this process to take place in a multiplex reaction across millions of DNA fragments in parallel. Generally, sequencing by synthesis involves synthesizing, one nucleotide at a time, a DNA strand complimentary to the strand whose sequence is being sought. Study nucleic acids may be immobilized to a solid support, hybridized with a sequencing primer, and incubated with DNA polymerase in the presence of fluorescently labeled dNTPS. After each cycle, the image is scanned and the emission wavelength and intensity are recorded and used to identify the base incorporated. This process is repeated multiple times to create a specific read length of bases. 25Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0086] Certain single-molecule sequencing embodiments are based on the principal of sequencing by synthesis, and some utilize single-pair Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (single pair FRET) as a mechanism by which photons are emitted as a result of successful nucleotide incorporation. The emitted photons often are detected using intensified or high sensitivity cooled charge-couple-devices in conjunction with total internal reflection microscopy (TIRM). Photons are only emitted when the introduced reaction solution contains the correct nucleotide for incorporation into the growing nucleic acid chain that is synthesized as a result of the sequencing process. In FRET based single-molecule sequencing or detection, energy is transferred between two fluorescent dyes, sometimes polymethine cyanine dyes Cy3 and Cy5, through long-range dipole interactions.

[0087] An example of a system that can be used based on single-molecule sequencing generally involves hybridizing a primer to a study nucleic acid to generate a complex; associating the complex with a solid phase; iteratively extending the primer by a nucleotide tagged with a fluorescent molecule; and capturing an image of FRET signals after each iteration (e.g., Braslavsky et al., PNAS 100(7): 3960-3964 (2003); U.S. Pat. No. 7,297,518 (Quake et al.) which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety). Such a system can be used to directly sequence amplification products generated by processes described herein. In some embodiments, the released linear amplification product can be hybridized to a primer that contains sequences complementary to immobilized capture sequences present on a solid support, a bead or glass slide for example. Hybridization of the primer-released linear amplification product complexes with the immobilized capture sequences, immobilizes released linear amplification products to solid supports for single pair FRET based sequencing by synthesis. The primer often is fluorescent, so that an initial reference image of the surface of the slide with immobilized nucleic acids can be generated. The initial reference image is useful for determining locations at which true nucleotide incorporation is occurring. Fluorescence signals detected in array locations not initially identified in the "primer only" reference image are discarded as non-specific fluorescence. Following immobilization of the primer-released linear amplification product complexes, the bound nucleic acids often are sequenced in parallel by the iterative steps of, a) polymerase extension in the presence of one fluorescently labeled nucleotide, b) detection of fluorescence using appropriate microscopy, TIRM for example, c) removal of fluorescent nucleotide, and d) return to step a with a different fluorescently labeled nucleotide.

[0088] The technology described herein may be practiced with digital PCR. Digital PCR was developed by Kalinina and colleagues (Kalinina et al., 1997, Nucleic Acids Res. 25; 1999-2004) and further developed by Vogelstein and Kinzler (1999, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 96; 9236- 26Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT 9241). The application of digital PCR is described by Cantor et al. (PCT Pub. Nos. WO 2005 / 023091A2 (Cantor et al.); WO 2007 / 092473 A2, (Quake et al.)), which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. Digital PCR takes advantage of nucleic acid (DNA, cDNA or RNA) amplification on a single molecule level and offers a highly sensitive method for quantifying low copy number nucleic acids. Fluidigm® Corporation offers systems for the digital analysis of nucleic acids. Digital PCR has been extended to digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) to detect rare mRNA transcripts. See Hindson et al., 2011, Anal. Chem.83(22) 8604-8610.

[0089] In some embodiments, nucleotide sequencing may be by solid phase single nucleotide sequencing methods and processes. Solid phase single nucleotide sequencing methods involve contacting sample nucleic acid and solid support under conditions in which a single molecule of a sample nucleic acid hybridizes to a single molecule of a solid support. Such conditions can include providing the solid support molecules and a single molecule of sample nucleic acid in a "microreactor." Such conditions also can include providing a mixture in which the sample nucleic acid molecule can hybridize to solid phase nucleic acid on the solid support. Single nucleotide sequencing methods useful in the embodiments described herein are described in PCT Pub. No. WO 2009 / 091934 (Cantor).

[0090] Next generation sequencing techniques may be applied to measure expression levels or count numbers of transcripts using RNA-seq or whole transcriptome shotgun sequencing. See, e.g., Mortazavi et al., 2008 Nat. Meth. 5(7) 621-627 or Wang et al., 2009 Nat. Rev. Genet. 10(1) 57-63.

[0091] Nucleic acids in the invention also may be counted using methods known in the art. In one embodiment, multiplexed direct digital counting of RNA expression is performed using NanoString’s nCounter® system (Seattle, WA). The system is amplification-free and attaches fluorescent barcodes to nucleic acid probes, incubates the labeled probes with an mRNA sample to form hybrid sequences, plates the probe target hybrids, and directly counts the barcodes for the hybrids. See Veldman-Jones et al., 2015, Cancer Res. 75(13) 2587-2594; Kulkarni, M. M., 2011, Current protocols in molecular biology, 94(1), 25B-10; Geiss et al., 2008 Nat. Biotech 26(3) 317- 325; U.S. Pat. No. 7,473,767 (Dimitrov). Spatial resolution to transcript identification may be added in a high-throughput manner with NanoString’s Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) platform for nucleic acids or proteins.

[0093] In certain embodiments, nanopore sequencing detection methods include (a) contacting a nucleic acid for sequencing ("base nucleic acid," e.g., linked probe molecule) with sequence-specific detectors, under conditions in which the detectors specifically hybridize to substantially complementary subsequences of the base nucleic acid; (b) detecting signals from the detectors, and (c) determining the sequence of the base nucleic acid according to the signals detected. In certain embodiments, the detectors hybridized to the base nucleic acid are disassociated from the base nucleic acid (e.g., sequentially dissociated) when the detectors interfere with a nanopore structure as the base nucleic acid passes through a pore, and the detectors disassociated from the base sequence are detected.

[0094] A detector also may include one or more regions of nucleotides that do not hybridize to the base nucleic acid. In some embodiments, a detector may be a molecular beacon. A detector often comprises one or more detectable labels independently selected from those described herein. Each detectable label can be detected by any convenient detection process capable of detecting a signal generated by each label (e.g., magnetic, electric, chemical, optical and the like). For example, a CD camera can be used to detect signals from one or more distinguishable quantum dots linked to a detector.

[0095] The invention encompasses methods known in the art for enhancing the sensitivity of the detectable signal in such assays, including, but not limited to, the use of cyclic probe technology (Bakkaoui et al., 1996, BioTechniques 20: 240-8, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety); and the use of branched probes (Urdea et al., 1993, Clin. Chem.39, 725- 6; which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). The hybridization complexes are detected according to well-known techniques in the art.

[0096] Reverse transcribed or amplified nucleic acids may be modified nucleic acids. Modified nucleic acids can include nucleotide analogs, and in certain embodiments include a detectable label and / or a capture agent. Examples of detectable labels include, without limitation, 28Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT fluorophores, radioisotopes, colorimetric agents, light emitting agents, chemiluminescent agents, light scattering agents, enzymes and the like. Examples of capture agents include, without limitation, an agent from a binding pair selected from antibody / antigen, antibody / antibody, antibody / antibody fragment, antibody / antibody receptor, antibody / protein A or protein G, hapten / anti-hapten, biotin / avidin, biotin / streptavidin, folic acid / folate binding protein, vitamin B12 / intrinsic factor, chemical reactive group / complementary chemical reactive group (e.g., sulfhydryl / maleimide, sulfhydryl / haloacetyl derivative, amine / isotriocyanate, amine / succinimidyl ester, and amine / sulfonyl halides) pairs, and the like. Modified nucleic acids having a capture agent can be immobilized to a solid support in certain embodiments. 4.7. COMPOSITIONS AND KITS

[0098] The kits may further comprise positive and negative controls, as well as instructions for the use of kit components contained therein, in accordance with the methods of the present invention. 4.8. METHODS OF TREATMENT

[0099] Current treatments for pancreatic cancer include FOLFIRNOX (fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin) or gemcitabine and albumin-bound paclitaxel for neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy for resectable disease, borderline resectable disease, first line therapy for locally advanced disease, or first line therapy for metastatic disease. If specific mutations are present, there are FDA-approved treatments available. Specifically for tumors with the BRAF V600E mutation, guidelines recommend one treat with kinase inhibitors, dabrafenib (targeting BRAF) and trametinib (targeting MEK1 / 2). For tumors that have the NTRK gene fusion, guidelines recommend one treat with entrectinib (targeting TRK, ROS, ALK) or larotrectinib (targeting TRKA, TRKB, TRKC). If the tumor is RET gene fusion positive, guidelines recommend one treat with selpercatinib (targeting RET). If the tumor mutation burden (TMB) is great than 10 mutations per megabase or is MSI-H or dMMR, guidelines recommend one treat with pembrolizumab. See, NCCN Guidelines Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Ver. 1.2024. Many cancers are responsive to kinase inhibitors. There are many approved kinase inhibitors which may be small molecule drugs, monoclonal antibodies, monoclonal antibody drug conjugates, etc. Table 1 lists a number of approved kinase inhibitors, relevant biomarkers for companion diagnostics, their intended target(s), and indicated uses.

[0100] KRAS mutations are common in PDAC and other cancers. KRAS mutations are associated with shortened survival for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). See, Vannuchi et al., 2023, Cancers, 15, 2027 doi.org / 10.3390 / cancers15072072. Smal et al. reported a prevalence of RAS mutations in 11.2% of bladder cancers, of which HRAS accounted for 64.3%, KRAS, for 28.6%, and NRAS, for 7.1%.

A subset of renal cell carcinomas, specifically, papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP), one study reported that 28 / 30 samples had recurrent KRAS mutations.

[0101] Several KRAS specific drugs are now approved or in advanced clinical trials. Specifically, KRASG12Cinhibitors, LUMAKRAS® (Sotorasib, AMG 510); KRASATITM(Adagrasib, MRTX849), BI1823911, LY3537982, JNJ-74699157 (ARS3248), JDQ443, Glecirasib (JAB-21822), Garsorasib (D-1553), Divarasib (GDC-6036, RG6330). Unfortunately, while the G12C mutation is common in many cancers, G12C mutation is only present 1-2% of 30Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT pancreatic cancers. See Elhariri et al., 2023, World J. Clin. Oncol. 14(8) 285-296. Another mutation, G12D, is also common. KRASG12Dinhibitors in development MRTX1133 and degrader ASP3082. Other approaches include pan-RAS inhibitors such as RMC-6236. Another compound in clinical trials is BI 1701963, a KRAS inhibitor that acts on the KRAS / SOS1 (son of sevenless 1) complex. Indirect inhibition of the RAS pathway can be accomplished by SHP2 inhibitors such as BBP-398 (formerly IACS-15509), ERAS-601, ET0038, GDC-1971(RLY-1971), HBI-2376, HS-10381, JAB-3068, or JAB-3312, RMC-4630, or TNO155.

EXAMPLES

[0104] Using SCISSORS, a method that we previously developed to sensitively cluster rare cells and identify highly cell-subpopulation-specific marker genes in scRNAseq, we identify uniquely expressed marker genes for CAF clusters that robustly translate to bulk RNAseq26. We show that these marker genes define subtypes with prognostic and therapeutic significance, which we define as permissive (perm) and restraining (rest) CAFs. We then train and validate a single- sample classifier (SSC) DeCAF, to facilitate robust and replicable classification of PDAC CAF subtypes in 12 independent bulk transcriptomic datasets of patient PDAC samples. We find that DeCAF subtypes are independently prognostic and associated with distinct histologic features. DeCAF subtype tumors have different immune landscapes and are associated with treatment 31Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT response in a phase Ib trial of FOLFIRINOX and CCR2 inhibition27. We show that DeCAF subtypes are relevant in other cancer types, including mesothelioma, urothelial carcinoma and clear cell renal cell carcinoma. In urothelial and clear cell renal cell carcinoma, DeCAF subtypes are prognostic and associated with response to anti-PD-L1 therapy. Here we demonstrate that DeCAF is a clinically usable and robust method to evaluate the impact of CAF subtypes in patients with mesothelioma, renal cell, bladder and pancreatic cancers. RESULTS Refinement of CAF cell subpopulations and marker genes

[0105] Using SCISSORS26, a method that we showed can find rare cell clusters (e.g. 0.1% of cells in a dataset), and the the Elyada-sc dataset18which is enriched for fibroblasts, we refined the identification of fibroblast subpopulations to identify distinct marker genes (Fig. 1A, Table 3). We annotated our clusters as myCAF-like, iCAF-like, and apCAF-like, based on the enrichment of previously defined Elyada panCAF, consisting of myCAF, iCAF and apCAF (murine) genes18(Fig. 1B). After marker gene identification, we demonstrate that the newly determined SCISSORS marker genes show higher specificity in marking the respective clusters (Fig. 1C). Only 1 gene overlapped between SCISSORS myCAF-like (n = 116) and Elyada myCAF genes (n = 16), and 10 genes overlapped between SCISSORS iCAF-like (n = 209) and Elyada iCAF genes (n = 35). To determine gene ontology differences between SCISSORS myCAF-like and iCAF- like genes, we performed over-representation analysis28(ORA) (Table 4). In contrast to the prior findings in Elyada et al. where only myCAF genes were enriched for ECM organization and collagen formation18,19, we found that both SCISSORS myCAF-like and iCAF-like genes were enriched in ECM and collagen regulation related terms, albeit with different genes (Fig. 1D, Table 4). This may suggest potential distinct mechanisms of ECM regulation in the two CAF subpopulations. In addition to JAK-STAT signaling (hsa04630) that has been previously described to be enriched for Elyada iCAF genes18, we also found genes defining our iCAF-like subgroup to be enriched in Ras signaling pathway (hsa04014) and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway (hsa0415)29–31, not previously reported (Fig. 1D). Our results support that SCISSORS CAF marker genes are distinct from the originally defined Elyada myCAF and iCAF genes, in terms of the actual genes identified, the corresponding cells and pathway function.

[0106] We then compared SCISSORS marker genes to other previously described CAF subpopulations using 8 additional PDAC CAF cell-subpopulation schemas16,17,20–25. We found that the overlap between SCISSORS genes and the other gene sets was limited (Fig. 2). To better compare how gene sets from different schemas may be associated with the same cell populations, 32Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT we computed VAM scores32for each gene set in the Elyada-sc fibroblast cell populations (Fig. 1E, Methods). This allows us to compare enrichment of gene sets across schemas rather than individual genes for each cell and their clusters. The myCAF-like cluster called by SCISSORS in the Elyada-sc dataset showed enrichment of gene sets of Elyada myCAF, Ogawa F-stroma and A- stroma, Chen cCAF, Hwang myofibroblastic, Oh IL11-CAF and myCAF, and Wang myCAF (Fig. 1D). The iCAF-like cell cluster showed enrichment of gene sets from Elyada iCAF, Ogawa C-stroma, Chen csCAF, Grünwald deserted, Hwang neurotropic and adhesive, Oh csCAF and iCAF, and Wang non-typicalCAF and iCAF (Fig. 1E). For bulk RNAseq derived signatures, we find that Moffitt activated stroma and Maurer ECM-rich genes are more enriched in myCAF-like than iCAF-like cell clusters, and that Moffitt normal stroma and Maurer immune-rich genes are enriched in both iCAF-like and apCAF-like cell clusters, with Moffitt normal stroma also showing enrichment in a pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) cluster (Fig.1D).

[0107] Next, we further validated the above SCISSORS-defined cell-level gene sets using an independent scRNAseq dataset of 6 primary PDAC samples (UNC-sc, Table 5). In the UNC-sc data, we similarly identified one pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) cluster, one apCAF-like cluster, two myCAF-like clusters and three iCAF-like clusters (Fig. 1F-Fig. 1I, Methods). In this independent UNC-sc dataset, we found that the SCISSORS-derived marker genes best discriminated between the cell clusters (Fig.1J). For example, while the SCISSORS myCAF-like genes were found to be uniquely enriched in the two annotated myCAF-like clusters, the Elyada myCAF genes, as well as myCAF associated gene markers in other schemas were found to be enriched in multiple cell clusters such as PSC and iCAF-like clusters (Fig. 1J). By leveraging the refined methodology for clustering and marker gene identification by SCISSORS26, we identify marker genes that are uniquely expressed in and most discriminatory between the CAF cell subpopulations. Permissive and restraining CAFs in bulk RNAseq

[0108] One challenge in evaluating the clinical relevance of CAF subpopulations derived from scRNAseq is the paucity of samples with both scRNAseq and clinical outcome information. Therefore, we set out to translate the marker genes derived from scRNAseq for use in bulk transcriptomics data. We previously showed that the basal-like and classical marker genes derived from scRNAseq using SCISSORS may also be used to cluster bulk RNAseq of PDAC samples, and highly recapitulated the clinically validated PDAC tumor subtypes26. Therefore, we hypothesized that the SCISSORS CAF marker genes derived from scRNAseq may also be used to cluster bulk RNAseq data for the classification of CAF subtypes in these patient samples. 33Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0109] To investigate this, we evaluated 11 publicly available bulk RNAseq and microarray datasets containing 1,432 primary PDAC patients using consensus clustering (CC) (Methods, Table 6). In all datasets, the SCISSORS top 25 myCAF-like and iCAF-like genes separate patient samples into two clusters . In a meta-analysis of the 11 datasets, patients with tumors that have higher expression of myCAF-like genes showed a significantly shorter median OS (mOS) of 20.33 months (mos), while patients with tumors that have higher expression of iCAF-like genes had a longer mOS of 30.19 mos (p < 0.001, HR = 1.40 [95% CI 1.317-1.725], Fig.3A). In light of the clinical implications of our results and avoid conflict with the existing nomenclature, we rename and hereafter refer to the subpopulation expressing the SCISSORS iCAF-like genes as tumor restraining CAF (restCAF) and the subpopulation expressing SCISSORS myCAF-like genes as tumor permissive CAF (permCAF).

[0110] Next, we performed a systematic comparison between the previously published CAF subtyping schemas using the gene signatures from Elyada et al.18, Moffitt et al.16, and Maurer et al.17to call subtypes in each of the 11 datasets using CC . In contrast to SCISSORS, we found that the Elyada myCAF and iCAF gene sets resulted in consensus clusters that showed no difference in OS (mOS: 21.32 vs 25.20 mos, p = 0.339, HR = 1.203 [95% CI 1.532-0.945], Fig. 3B). The Moffitt stroma schema demonstrated shorter survival for patients with tumors with activated stroma relative to normal stroma but did not reach significance in our pooled datasets (mOS: 21.45 vs 30.0 mos, p = 0.082, HR = 1.279 [95% CI 0.991-1.651], Fig. 3C). We also found that Maurer ECM-rich and Immune-rich gene signatures are associated with differences in survival (mOS: 20.53 vs 30.03 mos, p = 0.005, HR = 1.33 [95% CI 1.047-1.69], Fig. 3D). Using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC)33where the model with the lowest BIC in a series of competing candidate models is preferred in statistical applications, and is agnostic to the magnitude of the difference34, we found that SCISSORS was the preferred model with the lowest BIC, (SCISSORS BIC = 4553 vs Maurer BIC = 4558). Development and external validation of DeCAF

[0111] Clustering techniques have many limitations, such as their inability to assign subtypes to individual patients and the lack of robustness in existing subtype assignments due to the re- clustering required for the addition of new samples to existing data. Thus, we developed a robust SSC, DeCAF (Fig. 4A, Table 7), to predict permCAF and restCAF subtypes in individual patients, using CC based training labels derived in four large bulk gene expression datasets (Training datasets: CPTAC, Dijk, Moffitt GSE71729, TCGA PAAD, Table 6, Methods). A key element of our method includes the utilization of our CAF marker genes derived by SCISSORS to avoid the possible confounding of the expression of these genes in tumor and other tissue types. 34Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT The final DeCAF classifier uses rank-derived predictors through the k Top Scoring Pair (kTSP) (https: / / github.com / jjyeh-unc / decaf) (Fig. 4A, Methods); the same approach that we employed for the PurIST PDAC tumor classifier35. This approach avoids using raw expression values which reduced its dependence on between sample / study normalization, simplifying data integration over different studies35–38 and during prediction on new samples.

[0112] To assess the quality of our prediction model, we first evaluate the cross-validation error of the final model in our Training Group samples. We find that the internal leave-one-out cross validation error for DeCAF in the Training Group is low (4.0%). To evaluate the overall classification performance of DeCAF across additional studies, we compare the DeCAF subtype calls to the SCISSORS subtype calls in an independent validation dataset of 7 patient cohorts (Table 6). First, we applied a nonparametric meta-analysis approach to obtain a consensus ROC curve based on the individual ROC curves from each validation study. We found that the overall consensus Area Under the Curve (AUC) is high, with a value of 0.961 (Fig. 4B). The estimated interstudy variability of these ROC curves with respect to predicted permCAF score threshold t is very low at our standard threshold of t=0.5 or greater (Fig. 4C). Furthermore, sensitivities and specificities were often high at this threshold, and AUC values were similarly strong ( > 0.8) (Fig. 4D). Across validation datasets, we find that the pooled samples strongly segregate by CC subtype when sorted by their DeCAF score (i.e. permCAF probability), despite diverse studies of origin (Fig. 4E). This suggests that our methodology avoids potential study-level effects. As expected, the relative expression of classifier genes within each classifier TSP (paired rows) strongly discriminates between subtypes in each sample, forming the basis of our robust TSP- oriented approach for subtype prediction (Fig. 4E). We also find that, predicted permCAF probability scores have strong correspondence with CC subtype labels, illustrating the relative extent of each subtype as a continuum (Fig. 4F). For example, permCAF probability scores in the in between 0.25-0.75 are associated with mixed gene expression on CC.

[0113] Next, we compared the association of DeCAF subtypes with basal-like and classical tumor-intrinsic subtypes as defined by PurIST. We found that 64.5% (N=167) of basal-like tumors had a permCAF subtype, but only 35.5% of basal-like tumors had a restCAF subtype (N=92). No difference was seen in CAF subtypes within classical tumors: 49.7% permCAF (N=529) vs 50.3% restCAF (N = 536), suggesting an affinity for basal-like tumors to be a permCAF subtype (p < 0.001, Fisher’s exact test, Fig. 4G, Fig. 4H). Similarly, we found that patients with basal-like subtype tumors showed significantly higher permCAFprobability scores than patients with classical subtype tumors (Fig.4I). DeCAF subtypes and survival outcome 35Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0114] To evaluate the clinical impact of DeCAF subtypes on outcome, we first performed a meta-analysis of the 9 pooled datasets with OS data available (Table 8). We find that the patients with permCAF subtype tumors (mOS 17.70 mos) have significantly shorter survival than patients with restCAF subtype tumors (mOS 29.04 mos) (stratified HR = 1.634, 95% CI 1.375-1.943, p < 0.001, stratified log-rank test) (Fig. 5A). Patients with PurIST basal-like and DeCAF permCAF subtype tumors had the shortest OS, while patients with PurIST classical and DeCAF restCAF subtype tumors had the longest OS (11.01 mos vs 30.43 mos, p < 0.001, Fig. 5B).To determine the relationship between DeCAF and PDAC tumor subtypes16,35,39, we first performed a multivariable stratified cox proportional hazard model for the pooled public datasets including DeCAF and PurIST subtypes as variables. We found that both PurIST tumor subtype and the DeCAF subtype were independently associated with survival (p < 0.001 for both, stratified Cox proportional hazards model, Fig.5C).

[0115] Next, we applied DeCAF to another independent patient cohort of primary PDAC at UNC where clinical and pathology variables were available (UNC-bulk, N = 129) and find that DeCAF subtypes are again associated with OS (HR = 2.255, 95% CI 1.423-3.574, p < 0.001, log- rank test) (Fig. 5D). We saw similar additive effects of DeCAF and PurIST subtypes and their relationship to OS (p < 0.001, log-rank test, Fig.5E). In an univariable analysis, we found that the restCAF subtype was associated with chronic pancreatitis on pathology (p=0.008, Fisher’s exact test), although chronic pancreatitis had no association with OS (Table 9). There was no difference in the prevalence of DeCAF subtypes derived from samples exposed to neoadjuvant chemotherapy compared to untreated patients (Fig. 6A, Fig. 6B). In a multivariable analysis of patients who had complete (R0) resections, DeCAF and PurIST subtypes remained independently prognostic when including the variables stage, differentiation and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (DeCAF p < 0.001 and PurIST p = 0.005, Cox proportional hazards model, Fig.5F). Pathology differences in DeCAF subtypes

[0116] Differential pathology features of PDAC CAF subtypes were previously found, where the stroma of a subgroup of patients were described as collagen-enriched23,24. To investigate the association of DeCAF subtypes with pathological features, hematoxylin and eosin stained slides (n = 106) were reviewed by a pathologist blinded to the subtype calls in the UNC-bulk dataset . Samples were annotated as either myxoid, fibrous or fibromyxoid with the fibromyxoid subtypes delineating a mixed appearance with the dominant histology noted40 (Fig.5G). We found that the restCAF subtype tumors were associated with a fibrous (51 / 74, 68.9%) compared to a myxoid stroma histology (23 / 74, 31.1%) (p = 0.018, Fisher’s exact test). Samples with myxoid dominant histology showed significantly more permCAFness (i.e. higher permCAF probability) compared 36Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT to fibrous histology samples (p = 0.007, Wilcoxon rank-sum test, Fig. 5H). The mixed histology type, fibromyxoid, showed intermediate permCAF probability, supporting that the DeCAF score is associated with a histologic continuum (p = 0.002, Kruskal-Wallis test, Fig. 5I). Interestingly, stroma histology alone was prognostic, with myxoid histology associated with the shortest OS, fibromyxoid with intermediate OS, and fibrous the longest (p = 0.004, log-rank test, Fig. 5J, Fig. 5K). In the TCGA_PAAD dataset, where Grünwald et al. described subTME types, we looked at the relationship between DeCAF and the subTME types. We found that 89.6% (60 / 67) of permCAF subtype tumors had a reactive / intermediate subTME, compared to 10.4% (7 / 67) of them had a deserted subTME (Fig. 5L). In contrast, 43.5% (40 / 92) of restCAF subtype tumors had a reactive / intermediate subTME compared to 56.5% (52 / 92) that had a deserted subTME (Fig.5L, p = 9.582e-10, Fisher’s exact test). DeCAF subtypes in other tumor types

[0117] Similarities in CAFs across cancer types have been studied41,42. To determine if DeCAF subtypes are clinically applicable in other cancer types, we evaluated the TCGA Pan- Cancer datasets and found that DeCAF subtypes are similarly prognostic in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MESO, HR=2.056, 95% CI 1.1, 3.84 , p = 0.021), clear cell renal cell (KIRC, HR=2.138, 95% CI 1.342, 3.407, p = 0.0011) and urothelial bladder (BLCA, HR 1.6, 95% CI 1, 2.6, p = 0.043) carcinomas (Fig.7A-Fig.7C).

[0118] Given the clinical similarities of fibrosis that characterizes both MESO43 and PDAC, we hypothesized that there may also be similar pathology findings that explain the relevance of DeCAF subtypes in MESO. We found that DeCAF subtypes were associated with histological type (p = 0.001) with 93% (53 / 57) of epithelioid type tumors having a restCAF subtype (Fig. 7D, Fig. 7E). Pathologist review of the stroma showed similar findings as PDAC, where a myxoid stroma was associated with higher permCAF probability (i.e. permCAFness) compared to a fibrous histology (Wilcoxon, p = 0.001, Fig.7F).

[0119] In bladder cancer where consensus subtypes have been described including a basal bladder subtype (Ba / Sq) with similar gene expression to basal-like PDAC, we found that similar to PDAC, the Ba / Sq bladder consensus subtype was enriched in the permCAF subtype, with 52.0% (80 / 152, p = 1.22e-13, Fisher’s exact test, Fig. 7G) of Ba / Sq subtype patients having a permCAF subtype and highest permCAF probability (Fig. 7H) in the TCGA BLCA dataset. In addition, we also see a relationship between Ba / Sq tumor subtype and DeCAF subtype (p = 0.011, log-rank test, Fig. 7I). In a dataset of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), UROMOL44, we find that patients with permCAF subtype tumors have a shorter progression free survival to developing MIBC (PFS, p=0.00082, log-rank test) (Fig. 7J). Using the BLCA 37Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT consensus subtyping schema, 75% (3 / 4, p= 0.00166, Fisher’s exact test) of Ba / Sq tumors had a permCAF subtype and had the highest permCAF probability scores (Fig. 7K, Fig. 7L). Using standard clinical groupings of NMIBC, we found that permCAF prevalence and higher permCAF probability scores (i.e. permCAFness) was associated with higher grade (p = 8.7e-06, Kruskal- Wallis test, Fig. 7M, Fig. 7N) and most enriched in Class 2a NMIBC [18% (25 / 142), p = 0.000301, Fisher’s exact test], the most aggressive class of NMIBC (Fig.7O, Fig.7P).

[0120] Taken together, our results show that the presence of the permCAF subtype is associated with poor prognosis in multiple cancer types with similar histology and tumor subtype associations as PDAC. Immune landscape of permCAF and restCAF subtype tumors

[0121] We hypothesized that the perm / rest CAF subtype tumors may harbor different immune landscapes. Therefore, we used CIBERSORT45 with LM22 as the reference to deconvolve the fractions of 22 types of immune cells in each of our 12 datasets (Fig. 8A). We found that the immune landscape was more immunosuppressive in permCAF, enriched an average of 1.3-fold in Tregs in 6 datasets, 1.9-fold neutrophils in 5 datasets, 1.8-fold in M0 macrophages in 10 datasets, 1.1-fold in M2 macrophages in 6 datasets (Fig. 8A). In contrast, restCAF subtype tumors were more enriched an average of 1.3-fold in M0 macrophages in 4 datasets, 1.5-fold in CD8+ T cells in 7 datasets, and 1.8-fold in naïve B cells in 6 datasets (Fig. 8A). In addition, restCAF subtype tumors showed significantly higher CD8 / Treg ratios in 8 datasets (Fig. 8B), suggesting that patients with different DeCAF subtype tumors may show more favorable response to certain immunotherapies compared to patients with permCAF subtype tumors46,47.To investigate if DeCAF subtypes are predictive of immunotherapy response in PDAC patients, we examined the Phase 1b trial of FOLFIRINOX in combination with PF-04136309, a CCR2 inhibitor (FFX+PF) which has both pre- and post-treatment samples (Linehan dataset)27. Within each subtype, we found that increasing permCAF probability (i.e. increasing permCAFness) in the pre-treatment sample was correlated with a greater percent decrease in tumor size (permCAF rho = -0.581, p = 0.048; restCAF rho = -0.796, p = 0.002, Spearman correlation, Fig. 8C). We hypothesized that as CCR2 inhibition targets the recruitment of inflammatory monocytes, our findings may be explained by the enrichment of monocytes in the permCAF subtype samples (Fig. 8A). As this trial had pre- and post-treatment samples, we next looked at the change in neutrophil and M2 macrophages after treatment. We found that decreases in the neutrophil fraction (rho = 0.487, p = 0.016, Pearson correlation) and increases in the M2 macrophage fraction (rho = -0.479, p = 0.018, Pearson correlation) was correlated with tumor response (Fig. 8D, Fig. 8E). In the original trial, 38Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT CD14+CCR2+ tumor associated macrophages were found to be significantly decreased in FFX+PF treated tumors of 6 patients, but association with response was not avaialble27.

[0122] We next looked at the relationship between DeCAF subtypes and immune cell population changes in the FFX+PF trial. We found that the decrease in neutrophil and increase in M2 macrophage fractions were specific to permCAF subtype tumors and not found in restCAF subtype tumors (Fig. 8F, Fig. 8G). However, there was overall correlation of DeCAF score between pre- and post-treatment samples (rho = 0.675, p < 0.001, Fig. 8H), suggesting that the changes may be less in the CAF subtype, but rather the immune microenvironment associated with the DeCAF subtype. Our results suggest that the DeCAF subtype specific immune microenvironment may predict immunotherapy responsiveness. DeCAF subtypes and immunotherapy response in BLCA and RCC

[0123] Clinical trials of immunotherapy in PDAC are limited. As DeCAF subtypes were prognostic in BLCA and RCC, we evaluated the IMvigor210 trial (NCT02108652) in BLCA48 and the IMmotion150 trial (NCT01984242) in RCC49 where patients were treated with the anti- PD-L1 antibody, atezolizumab. In the IMmotion150 trial of metastatic RCC patients, in the atezolizumab only arm, lower DeCAF score or permCAF probability (i.e. increased restCAFness) was numerically, but not significantly associated with having a complete (CR) or partial response (PR) (p = 0.077, t-test, Fig. 9A). In the IMvigor210 trial for metastatic urothelial cancers, we found that patients who had either a CR or PR had significantly lower permCAF probability (i.e. increased restCAFness) (p = 0.014, t-test, Fig. 9B). In addition, patients with permCAF subtype tumors had a mOS of 6.7 months compared to 9.9 months for patients with restCAF tumors (p = 0.043, HR 1.4 [95% CI 1.01, 1.95], Fig. 9C). Finally, similar to PDAC and the TCGA BLCA dataset, in IMvigor210, we found that Ba / Sq subtype tumors were most enriched in the permCAF subtype with 33% (36 / 109) of Ba / Sq subtype harboring a permCAF subtype (p = 3.81e-05, Fisher’s exact test, Fig.9D). As expected, higher DeCAF probability was associated with a Ba / Sq tumor subtype as well (p = 5.5e-13, Kruskal-Wallis test, Fig.9E). Therefore, renal cell carcinoma and bladder cancer patients with restCAF tumors have an increased overall response rate (ORR) to immune checkpoint inhibition. Distinct ECM regulation revealed by multi-omics analysis

[0124] To gain a better understanding of the protein profiles between permCAF and restCAF patients, we analyzed the whole proteomics data from CPTAC doi: 10.1016 / j.cell.2021.08.023. 354 proteins were found to be up-regulated in permCAF patients and 358 proteins were found to be up-regulated in restCAF patients (Fig. 10A, Table 10). Gene ontology analysis showed enrichment for ECM related terms for both permCAF and restCAF proteins, where they over- 39Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT expressed two different lists of ECM proteins. Using a curated matrisome database, we systematically analyzed the matrisome proteins, and found that 594 ECM-related proteins were captured without missing values in this CPTAC dataset. Unsupervised clustering on these proteins revealed two robust clusters (Fig. 10A), which interestingly showed a significant association with the DeCAF subtypes. Cluster 1 was found to have a relatively even split between permCAF (31, 43.1%) and restCAF (41, 56.9%) patients, while cluster 2 was found to be enriched with permCAF (47, 74.6%) than restCAF (16, 25.4%) patients. This suggested that permCAF and restCAF patients express distinct groups of ECM proteins, which may explain the differences in pathological phenotypes of “myxoid” vs “collagenized” that we described above. We then focused on the 97 and 54 differentially expressed matrisome proteins in permCAF and restCAF respectively to understand if these proteins were regulated differently by integrating methylation, RNA and protein data. By analyzing matched RNAseq and proteomics data, we found that the RNA and protein levels were highly correlated in both permCAF and restCAF patients (Fig. 10B), compared to 0.35 as the median level for all protein-RNA pairs as previously reported [doi: 10.1016 / j.cell.2021.08.023]. The correlation in permCAF patients is even higher in restCAF patients (p < 0.0001). In addition, for proteins that were up-regulated in permCAF patients, the respective RNA levels were also up-regulated in permCAF patients, while this pattern was not seen in restCAF patients (Fig. 10C). This suggested that the upregulation and downregulation of ECM proteins were highly regulated through RNA levels in the permCAF patients, but not in restCAF patients. More intriguingly, up-regulated proteins in permCAF were more hypomethylated than down-regulated proteins in permCAF patients (Fig.10D), indicating that the RNA-protein levels of these genes were regulated through epigenetic methylation mechanisms. In contrast, this pattern was not observed for restCAF (Fig. 10D). Altogether, this may suggest that the ECM protein expressions in permCAF were subject to methylation regulation, while a different group of ECM proteins were regulated through distinct mechanisms in restCAF patients. These epigenetic, transcriptomic and proteomic differences in permCAF vs restCAF patients may be the molecular underpinnings for the differences in pathological, immunological, prognostic and response features that we illustrated above. DISCUSSION

[0125] Several CAF classifications have been described. Here we leverage the wealth of sc and bulk transcriptomic studies in PDAC to identify the most clinically relevant and robust CAF subtypes. As clustering tends to introduce problems of instability during between-sample normalization when a new sample is added, it is not an optimal option to use clustering-based 40Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT methods to call patient subtypes in the clinical setting. For CAF subtype classification, we developed an SSC DeCAF, which uses 9 pairs of TSP genes to call permCAF vs restCAF subtypes, instead of the raw expression values, that is robust and replicable. This considerably increases the flexibility and practicality of integrating CAF subtypes into the analysis across datasets, including clinical trials with limited sample sizes and potential utilization in future clinical trials.

[0126] A key element of our method includes the utilization of CAF-intrinsic subpopulation marker genes identified using our novel method SCISSORS26. Our identified myCAF-like and iCAF-like clusters and genes correspond to, but also more discretely call the widely accepted myCAF and iCAF subtypes18. In an independent scRNAseq dataset (UNC-sc), we show that SCISSORS CAF marker genes accurately discriminate between the respective CAF cell subpopulations compared to previously described CAF subpopulations gene sets16–18,20–25. The discriminatory ability of SCISSORS CAF marker genes was critical to successfully deriving CAF-intrinsic subtypes in bulk RNAseq data.

[0127] myCAFs were initially described and are thought to be more quiescent with iCAFs as inflammatory and tumor promoting19. However, our findings suggest that, in patients, the CAF subpopulations have opposite phenotypes compared to the majority of preclinical studies, with permCAF (myCAF-like) subtypes with worse prognosis compared to restCAF (iCAF-like) subtypes. This is in agreement with a recent study that found that myCAFs may be pro- metastatic50. Thus, to improve clarity and better describe our clinical findings, we use the terms permissive and restraining. We find that the histologic features of the stroma in PDAC and mesothelioma have direct associations with the DeCAF subtypes with permCAF subtype tumors having myxoid stroma, and restCAF subtype tumors having fibrous stroma. The DeCAF score allows us to look at mixtures where fibromyxoid (mixed) stroma have intermediate DeCAF scores. Our findings of fibrous histology are consistent with the previously described “deserted subTME” by Grünwald et al. and a “collagen-rich stroma” or “C-stroma” by Ogawa et al. In contrast to prior studies where myCAFs are thought to be enriched with ECM pathways18,19, we find the restCAF subtype to also be enriched with ECM pathways but attributable to different genes. This association of restCAF and ECM enrichment is in agreement with Grünwald et al23, where the “deserted subTME” was enriched in ECM proteins, and with Ogawa et al., where longer OS and higher collagen content was associated with C-stroma24. Our immune cell landscape analysis by CIBERSORT also suggested similar immune infiltrations found by these two studies. For example, our findings that the restCAF subtype showed higher naïve B cell fractions is in line with the finding by Grünwald et al., that the deserted subTME trended toward 41Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT higher B cell marker (CD20) expression in their deep-phenotyping platform for human PDAC tissues23. In addition, permCAF showing higher CD8+ T cell percentages is in agreement with the finding that FAP-stroma was characterized by restricted CD8+ cell infiltrates24.

[0128] Many studies have reported common CAF types across cancers41,42. We found that DeCAF subtypes have clinical relevance in mesothelioma, renal cell and bladder carcinomas. In bladder cancer, where the PDAC basal-like gene signature can be used to accurately recall the Ba / Sq bladder consensus subtype16, both of which have an enrichment of cytokeratins, we find that the permCAF subtype is enriched in both basal bladder Ba / Sq and PDAC basal-like subtype tumors. Furthermore, both tumor and CAF subtype affect prognosis in an additive fashion. Finally, our findings of differential immune microenvironments associated with the permCAF vs restCAF subtype has implications for immunotherapy response in renal cell, bladder and pancreatic cancers.

[0129] In summary, we find that DeCAF subtypes are histologically distinctive, prognostic and predictive of treatment response in multiple cancer types. In pancreatic, renal cell and bladder cancers, the immune microenvironment specific to the subtypes may help predict response to immunotherapy approaches. Our findings that the biology of previously described iCAF and myCAF subgroups, where iCAFs were thought to be pro-tumorigenic, in patients, is completely reversed, suggests that the interest in targeting iCAF populations may not be as beneficial as originally thought18, and may explain some of the disappointing trials to date. We present a clinically tractable CAF subtype SSC, DeCAF, that determines permCAF and restCAF subtypes in patients that may be incorporated into clinical trials, will facilitate the translation of preclinical studies to patients, and provides a framework for the understanding of CAF subtypes in patients for the development of CAF subtype specific therapies. METHODS Marker gene identification in Elyada-sc

[0130] SCISSORS includes a carefully designed function, which is a two-step method for the identification of highly cell subpopulation specific genes26. Briefly, SCISSORS first derives a candidate gene set by comparing the cell subpopulation of interest to the most related cell subpopulation; then the highly expressed genes from other unrelated cell types are removed from this candidate gene set. In this study using the Elyada-sc dataset, myCAF-like cells were compared to iCAF-like and apCAF-like cells, and the iCAF-like cells were compared myCAF- like and apCAF-like cells, to derive a candidate gene set for the cell subpopulation of myCAF- like and iCAF-like separately (Wilcoxon rank-sum test, p<0.05, log2 fold change > 0). Then, the myCAF-like and iCAF-like candidate gene sets were subjected to a filtering step, in which the 42Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT highly expressed genes of the non-CAF cells were removed. The highly expressed genes were defined as the top 10% expressed by averaging all the cells within each broad cell cluster. As a result, final gene sets were identified for myCAF-like and iCAF-like respectively (Table 3). Tumor dissociation and library preparation for UNC-sc

[0131] Six de-identified primary PDAC samples (UNC-sc, Table 4) were collected from the IRB-approved University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Tissue Procurement Core Facility after IRB exemption in accordance with the U.S. Common Rule. Fresh tissue was dissociated into single cells using Miltenyi human dissociation kits (Miltenyi, 130-095- 929) and red blood cells were removed using red blood cell lysis solution (Miltenyi, 130-094- 183). Cell counts were performed using an automated cell counter and live cell counts were determined using trypan blue staining. Up to 10,000 cells were encapsulated into droplets for droplet-based 3’ end single-cell RNAseq using Chromium 3’ v3 reagents (10X Genomics). cDNA libraries were quantified using the Qubit dsDNA Assay Kit (Thermo, Q32851) and library quality was assessed with the 4150 Tapestation System (Agilent) and D5000 screen tapes (Agilent, 5067- 5588). cDNA libraries were sequenced on a NextSeq500 (Illumina) using NextSeq 500 / 550 High Output Kit v2.5 (150 Cycles) (Illumina, 20024907) at 200M reads per sample. Sample collection and processing for UNC-bulk

[0132] 129 de-identified primary PDAC patient samples (UNC-bulk) were collected from the IRB-approved University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Tissue Procurement Core Facility after IRB exemption in accordance with the U.S. Common Rule and were flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. FFPE samples were prepared, hematoxylin and eosin stained. RNA expression libraries were generated for flash frozen samples or FFPE samples, with TruSeq Stranded mRNA kits or with KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase (HMR) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Sequencing was performed on the NextSeq500 and NovaSeq6000 Sequencing Systems (Illumina). UNC-sc processing

[0133] Cell Ranger 6.1.2 was used. BCL files was converted into fastq files using cellranger mkfastq based on bcl2fastq2 (v2.20.0). Fastq files for each sample was then processed by cellranger count to derive unique molecular identifier (UMI) count for each gene, using the human GRCh38 genome. Samples were then aggregated by cellranger aggr.

[0134] Aggregated data (filtered_feature_bc_matrix) were analyzed by SCISSORS, which is wrapped around Seurat (v4), for cell clustering. The Quality control steps include 1) the inclusion of genes expressed in more than 2 cells, 2) the inclusion of cells that have the number of genes captured within 200~2500 (200 < nFeatures < 2500), and 3) the inclusion of cells with 43Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT mitochondrial reads accounting for less than 5% (percent_MT < 5). The filtered data underwent processing through the PrepareData() function in SCISSORS to obtain the initial clusters with the following parameter settings: n.HVG = 3000, regress.mt = TRUE, n.PC = 20, random.seed = 629, with other parameters using default values. The first-round clusters were annotated using SingleR. Clusters identified as "activated_stellate" were categorized as fibroblasts. A second-round clustering analysis was performed on the fibroblast related clusters (0,4,6) using the ReclusterCells function in SCISSORS, with the following parameter settings: merge.clusters = TRUE, use.sct = TRUE, n.HVG = 3000, regress.mt = TRUE, n.PC = 20, resolution.vals = 0.2, k.vals = 57, with other parameters using default values. For a more refined identification, a third- round clustering analysis was conducted on the cluster identified as a combination of myCAF-like and iCAF-like. VAM heatmap

[0135] For the CAF-related cells (myCAF-like, iCAF-like, apCAF-like and PSC) in Elyada-sc and UNC-sc datasets, VAM32 scores were generated to assess the gene set enrichment of CAF- related gene markers of SCISSORS and 9 additional schemas. The median of the VAM scores in the same cells was derived to represent the enrichment score of each gene sets in each cell cluster. For the same cell cluster, z-score transformation was applied to derive the VAM z-score, which was visualized on a heatmap. On the heatmap, each row represents a cell cluster and each column represents a marker gene set from each schema. The intensity of the red represents the enrichment of the respective gene set in the respective cell cluster. Therefore, on the same column, the unique intensity of the redness in the respective cluster (discriminatory) shows the specific enrichment of the gene set in that cluster, instead of in other clusters. UNC-bulk processing

[0136] Raw base call (BCL) files were converted to fastq files using bcl2fastq2 (v2.19.0). RefSeq assembly (GCF_000001405.40) of the human reference genome GRCh38.p14 was used as the reference for gene quantification by Salmon 1.9.051("-- gcBias -- seqBias"). The total expected read counts per gene were normalized to transcripts per million (TPM). Public bulk datasets and sample inclusion

[0137] Eleven bulk transcriptomics datasets were obtained from public sources (Table 6). Gene expression quantifications was used ‘as-is’ with respect to the original publications when possible, i.e. data were not re-aligned or re-quantified; gene-level expression estimates were used either in the unit of TPM (transcripts per million) or FPKM (fragments per kilobase per million reads), depending on the study. When preprocessed gene expression data were not available, for training datasets, the most similar methods were used to process the data; for validation and 44Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT independent datasets, Salmon 1.9.051using RefSeq assembly (GCF_000001405.40) of the human reference genome GRCh38.p14 was used to derive gene expression levels (Table 6). Samples from the public datasets were filtered to include only non-metastatic primary PDAC samples. For the Grünwald and Olive datasets, which are microdissected, only stroma samples were included.

[0138] Bladder cancer subtyping calls were made on log2 transformed upper-quartile normalized expression data using the BLCA subtyping and consensusMIBC R package52. Within the UROMOL and IMvigor210 datasets, all samples with gene expression data were used in the analysis. For the TCGA_BLCA cohort, only tumors from patients with stage M0 disease were included in the analysis. Over-representation analysis (ORA)

[0139] The R package (version 4.1.3) clusterProfiler (version 3.1.8) was utilized to perform Over-Representation Analysis on marker genes derived from SCISSORS, specifically targeting myCAF and iCAF markers. For the enrichment analysis of Gene Ontology (GO) terms, the "org.Hs.eg.db" was employed for genome-wide annotation, and the p-value cutoff was set at 0.05. Regarding the KEGG terms, the organism was specified as "hsa" (Homo sapiens), and the p-value cutoff was set at 0.05. Consensus clustering (CC)

[0140] SCISSORS myCAF-like and iCAF-like genes were derived as described above and ranked by fold enrichment to generate the top25 genes for each subtype. Gene sets of the Moffitt stroma, Elyada and Maurer schemas were collected from each study respectively. For each of the subtyping schemas in each of the 11 public transcriptomics datasets, unsupervised CC was applied using the ConsensusClusterPlus (version 1.56.0) package in R for genes (rows) and samples (columns) separately. Data matrices were subjected to log2 transformation and column- wise quantile normalization. Note that the data were not normalized row-wise, as that may force the clusters to have similar sizes, instead of deriving the reflective number of patients in each cluster. For clustering of samples, a distance matrix was derived based on Pearson correlation. Then CC was applied to this distance matrix to derive two sample clusters (K = 2), which consisted of 1,000 iterations of k-means clustering using Euclidean distance, with 80% items hold-out at each iteration. The number of K was determined empirically by visual inspection to derive clusters of samples that were most representative of the CAF subtypes. For clustering of genes, a distance matrix was derived based on Pearson correlation. Then CC was applied to this distance matrix derive two gene clusters (K = 2), which consisted of 200 iterations of k-means clustering using Euclidean distance, with 80% items hold-out at each iteration. Generation of CC labels for classifier training and validation 45Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0141] To derive confident labels for classifier training and validation, the CC method mentioned above were adapted. Specifically, the CC starts at sample-wise K=2, with Ks increasing step by step for inspection of clustering performance and sample-gene associations. The resultant clusters were then labeled as “permCAF”, “Mixed permCAF”, “Mixed”, “Mixed restCAF”, “restCAF” and “Absent” based on gene expressions. A dataset does not necessarily have every one of the 6 cluster categories. “Mixed permCAF” was then merged with ”permCAF”, and “Mixed restCAF” merged with “restCAF”. These merged “permCAF” and “restCAF” labels were used for training and validation of DeCAF. DeCAF classifier training Candidate gene ranking

[0142] SCISSORS CAF genes were ranked based on the consistency of their differential expression (DE) statistics between CC-based subtypes in each individual training dataset. A cross- study DE consistency score was obtained by summing the -log10 p-values (Wilcoxon rank-sum test) and ranking them from high to low. The top 25% of this set (consistent DE genes) were considered for model training and the genes where the direction of up-regulation or down- regulation of them were not consistent in the subtypes were removed. The remaining genes then formed our final candidate gene set for downstream steps. Rationale of using kTSP for binary classification

[0143] Let us define a gene pair (^^ௗ^^, ^^ௗ^௧), where ^^ௗ^^is the expression of gene s for subject i in study d , and ^^ௗ^௧is the expression of gene t for the same subject and study. A TSP is anindicator variable based on this gene pair, ^^^^^ௗ^^ ^ ^^ௗ^௧^ െ^ ଶ , where the value represents which gene in the pair has higher expression in subject i from study d , ((^^ ଶif ^^ௗ^^ ^ ^^ௗ^௧, and െଶ if ^^ௗ^^^ ^^ௗ^௧otherwise). The TSP method was originally proposed in thcontext of binary classification. See, Leek JT. The tspair package for finding top scoring pair classifiers in R. Bioinformatics. 2009 May 1;25(9):1203-4. In traditional applications, a single TSP (k = 1) is selected out of theset of all possible gene pairs, in which case, ^^^^^ௗ^^ ^ ^^ௗ^௧^ െ^ ଶ^ 0 implies subtype A with highprobability, otherwise subtype B is implied (Leek, 2009) \. We view such binary variables as “biological switches" indicating how pairs of genes are expressed relative to clinical outcome.

[0144] In the kTSP setting, class prediction reduces to verifying whether the sum across k selected TSPs is greater than 0: ^ 1 ^^^ ^^ ^ ^^െ^ 0Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT

[0145] This reduces to a majority vote across the selected k TSPs, where the contribution of each of the k TSPs are equally weighted to select subtype A if the above sum is greater than 0, and subtype B otherwise. However, some TSPs may be more informative than others, so we utilized penalized logistic regression to jointly estimate the effect of each of the k selected TSPs in predicting binary subtype, and to further remove TSPs with weak or redundant effects. See, Breheny P, Huang J. Coordinate descent algorithms for nonconvex penalized regression, with applications to biological feature selection. The annals of applied statistics. 2011 Jan 1;5(1):232. Predicted probabilities of permCAF subtype membership (DeCAF score) may then be obtained from the fitted logistic regression model on our training samples, where values greater than 0.5 indicate predicted membership to the permCAF subtype and restCAF otherwise. We also define 0.5^ subtype probability < 0.6 as the “lean permCAF” subtype, 0.6 ^ subtype probability < 0.9 as the “likely permCAF”, and 0.9 ^ subtype probability ^ 1.0 as the “strong permCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the permCAF call, in increasing order. Similarly we define 0.4 ^ subtype probability < 0.5 as the “lean restCAF” subtype, 0.1 ^ subtype probability < 0.4 as the “likely restCAF”, and 0 ^ subtype probability ^ 0.1 as the “strong restCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the restCAF call, in increasing order. Horizontal data integration and kTSP selection via switchBox

[0146] To apply the top scoring pairs transformation, we utilize the switchBox R package (version 1.28.0) to enumerate all possible gene pairs based on our final candidate gene list and training samples (function SWAP.KTSP.Train, with optimal parameters featureNo=100, krange = 50, FilterFunc = NULL). See, Afsari B, Fertig EJ, Geman D, Marchionni L. switchBox: an R package for k–Top Scoring Pairs classifier development. Bioinformatics. 2015 Jan 15;31(2):273- 4. Given the large number of potential gene pairs based on this list, in addition to the strong correlation between gene pairs sharing the same genes, the switchBox package utilizes a greedy algorithm to select from this list a subset of gene pairs that are helpful for prediction, given the set of training labels. We merge data from each training dataset without normalization prior to applying switchBox, as the method only looks at the relative gene expression ranking within each sample from each study. The method then selects a subset of k TSPs, where k is determined through a greedy optimization procedure. Model training based on selected kTSPs

[0147] To remove redundant TSPs and to jointly estimate their contribution in predicting subtype in our training samples, we utilize the ncvreg R package (version 3.13.0) to fit a penalized 47Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT logistic regression model based upon the selected TSPs from switchBox. Our design matrix is an N x (k+1) matrix, where the first column pertains to the intercept and the remaining k columns pertains to the k selected TSPs from switchBox. Here N is the total number of training samples (Table 6). Each TSP in the design matrix is represented as a binary vector, taking on the value of 1 if gene A’s expression is greater than gene B’s expression. Our outcome variable here is binary subtype (1 = permCAF, 0 otherwise). We utilize optional parameters alpha = 0.05 and nfolds = N. We allow for correlation between TSPs by setting the ncvreg alpha parameter to 0.05 in order to shrink the coefficients of highly correlated TSPs and also remove correlated uninformative TSPs from the model. We set nfolds = N to apply leave one out cross validation in order to choose the optimal MCP penalty tuning parameter for variable selection, where the optimal tuning parameter is the one that minimizes the cross-validation error of the fitted model. Our final model then reports the set of coefficients estimated for each of the kTSPs, where each coefficient may be interpreted as the change in log odds of a patient being part of the permCAF subtype when the lth TSP is equal to 1, given the others in the model. TSPs with coefficient of 0 are those that have been removed from the model for either weak effect or redundancy with other TSPs. Final kTSP model

[0148] As illustrated in Fig. 4A, 9 pairs of kTSP genes were evaluated for their relative ranking in a new patient. A value of 1 is assigned if the permCAF gene in a TSP has greater expression than the restCAF gene in that patient (and 0 assigned otherwise) creating ^^^,^^௪, a 1 x (k +1) TSP predictor vector. These values are then multiplied by the corresponding set ofestimated TSP model coefficients, ^^^ , obtained from the fitted penalized logistic regression model.The intercept term is included to correct for estimated baseline effects. These values are summedto get the patient “DeCAF Score” ^^^,^^௪ ^^^ . This score is then converted to a predicted probabilityof belonging to the permCAF subtype by computing its inverse logit: ^^̂^,^^௪ ൌ exp൫^^^,^^௪^^^൯ / ^1 ^ exp൫^^^,^^௪^^^൯^

[0149] Values greater than or equal to 0.5 indicated predicted permCAF subtype membership, and those less than 0.5 are predicted to be of the restCAF subtype. This is equivalent todetermining whether ^^^,^^௪^^^ >0 (permCAF subtype) vs ^^^,^^௪^^^ <0 (restCAF subtype). Thus, theDeCAF score, ^^^,^^௪^^^ , may also be utilized as a continuous score for classification. Therefore,prediction in new samples, such as from our validation datasets, reduces to simply checking the relative expression of each gene within the set of TSPs. We also define 0.5^ subtype probability < 48Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT 0.6 as the “lean permCAF” subtype, 0.6 ^ subtype probability < 0.9 as the “likely permCAF”, and 0.9 ^ subtype probability ^ 1.0 as the “strong permCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the permCAF call, in increasing order. Similarly we define 0.4 ^ subtype probability < 0.5 as the “lean restCAF” subtype, 0.1 ^ subtype probability < 0.4 as the “likely restCAF”, and 0 ^ subtype probability ^ 0.1 as the “strong restCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the restCAF call, in increasing order.

[0150] For all discussions regarding classifier performance, we obtain the predicted subtypes in the manner described above. The level of confidence in the prediction can be determined basedupon the distance of ^^^,^^௪^^^ from 0.5, where values closer to 0.5 indicate lower confidence in thepredicted subtype and higher confidence otherwise. We also define 0.5^ subtype probability < 0.6 as the “lean permCAF” subtype, 0.6 ^ subtype probability < 0.9 as the “likely permCAF”, and 0.9 ^ subtype probability ^ 1.0 as the “strong permCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the permCAF call, in increasing order. Similarly we define 0.4 ^ subtype probability < 0.5 as the “lean restCAF” subtype, 0.1 ^ subtype probability < 0.4 as the “likely restCAF”, and 0 ^ subtype probability ^ 0.1 as the “strong restCAF”, to refer to different levels of confidence of the restCAF call, in increasing order. Validation of DeCAF

[0151] The performance of the final DeCAF model in the training set was measured using leave-one-out cross validation. This was implemented using the cv.ncvreg function from the ncvreg (version 3.13.0). Since the outcome is binary, the cross-validation error is measured via the leave-one-out cross-validated deviance of the logistic regression model.

[0152] Next, the performance of the DeCAF model was evaluated in the validation sets. The validation set is composed of seven separate studies. To account for the variability between studies, a fully non-parametric ROC curve was used for this meta-analysis. The ROC curve was constructed and the inter-study variability was measured using the study random-effects model53 and implemented in the metaROC function from the nsROC R package (version 1.1). All validation metrics compared the DeCAF classifier to the combined "Mixed permCAF” and “permCAF” calls and combined “Mixed restCAF” and “restCAF” clustering calls. Survival analysis

[0153] For pooled survival analysis, patients with subtype calls, OS time and event were involved. For the Linehan dataset, where patients received treatments, only pre-treatment samples were included when both pre-treatment and post-treatment samples were available. For samples 49Patent Atty. Dkt. No.150-35-PCT that are duplicated in the PACA_AU_seq and PACA_AU_array datasets, only the sample from PACA_AU_seq was used for survival analysis.

[0154] Overall survival estimates were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Association between overall survival and individual covariates such as subtype were evaluated via the cox proportional hazards models using the coxph function from the ‘survival’ R package (version 3.2-13), where a given subtyping schema was considered as a multi-level categorical predictor. The log-rank test was used to evaluate overall association of a subtyping schema with overall survival and derive the p-values. In the pooled analyses, a stratified cox proportional hazards model was utilized, where dataset of origin was used as a stratification factor to account for variation in baseline hazard across studies. CIBERSORT

[0155] The analytical tool CIBERSORT was employed to estimate the percentage of cell types for each sample of 12 bulk transcriptomics data. This estimation was performed using the LM22 signature matrix, which encompasses 547 genes that distinguish 22 human hematopoietic cell phenotypes. With the percentage results obtained from CIBERSORT, we compared the results across two types of DeCAF calls for the samples in each dataset. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was employed to assess whether there were significant differences. The log2 fold change of the median was utilized to quantify the magnitude of the observed differences. 6.
