Popis: Abstract The cellular origin of clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC), a major histological subtype of ovarian carcinoma remains elusive. Here, we explored the candidate cellular origin and identify molecular subtypes using integrated genomic/epigenomic analysis. We performed whole exome-sequencing, microarray, and DNA methylation array in 78 CCOC samples according to the original diagnosis. The findings revealed that ARID1A and/or PIK3CA mutations were mutually exclusive with DNA repair related genes, including TP53, BRCA1, and ATM. Clustering of CCOC and other ovarian carcinomas (n = 270) with normal tissues from the fallopian tube, ovarian surface epithelium, endometrial epithelium, and pelvic peritoneum mesothelium (PPM) in a methylation array showed that major CCOC subtypes (with ARID1A and/or PIK3CA mutations) were associated with the PPM-lile cluster (n = 64). This cluster was sub-divided into three clusters: (1) mismatch repair (MMR) deficient with tumor mutational burden-high (n = 2), (2) alteration of ARID1A (n = 51), and (3) ARID1A wild-type (n = 11). The remaining samples (n = 14) were subdivided into (4) ovarian surface epithelium-like (n = 11) and (5) fallopian tube-like (considered as high-grade serous histotype; n = 3). Among these, subtypes (1–3) and others (4 and 5) were found to be associated with immunoreactive signatures and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, respectively. These results contribute to the stratification of CCOC into biological subtypes.
