MIBC vs NMIBC
Importance of molecular taxonomy
Diverse molecular alteration are responsible for the heterogenity
of the disease
Extremely heterogeneous genetic profile because of the high
mutational rates.
Respond will be better when targeted therapy is focused on the main
impaired pathway.
Can provide new insights for defining prognosis and planning
treatment options  particularly for MIBC
Identify the set of patients who can safely avoid neoadjuvant
chemotherapy.
Targeted therapy can be provided according to the subtype
Studies describing the molecular subtypes
1. Lund university
2. TCGA
3. University of North Carolina
4. Texas (MD Anderson)
Most comprehensive  the Lund University group and that of the
TCGA.

THE UNC CLASSIFICATION
Use of BASE47 gene signature to classify HGUCs
two molecular subtypes of high-grade UC
LUMINAL  expression of terminal urothelial differentiation markers, such as
those seen in umbrella cells (UPK1B, UPK2, UPK3A, and KRT20).
BASAL  High levels of genes that typically mark urothelial basal cells (KRT14,
KRT5, and KRT6B).
 They found similarities between Luminal and Basal subtypes of breast cance.
 Dissimilarities as well 
Claudin-low bladder tumors are a subpopulation of the basal-like bladder
cancers
claudin low subtypes in breast can arise from multiple intrinsic subtype.

Consensus classification
 Aure卒lie Kamoun, Aure卒lien de Reynie`s, Yves Allory, Gottfrid Sjo即dahl, A. Gordon
Robertson, Roland Seiler et al (2020)
Used 1750 MIBC transcriptomic profiles from 16 published datasets and two additional cohorts.
Built a weighted network of subtyping results, using Cohens kappa metric
Quantified similarities between subtypes from different classification systems
Formed Markov cluster algorithm to identify robust network substructures corresponding to potential consensus
classes

Consensus Classes
1. Luminal papillary (LumP)  >50% of these tumors activate FGFR3 through either
mutation, fusion, or genomic amplification.
2. Luminal Non-Specified (LumNS)
1. Only 8% of the 1750 MIBC tumors analyzed.
2. enriched with micropapillary histological variants, and is
3. significantly associated with carcinoma in situ
3. Luminal Unstable (LumU) Refers to the genomically unstable class name in the Lund
molecular taxonomy,
 LumU tumors display several features of genomic instability
 higher overall and APOBEC mutation burdens, and
 more somatic copy number alterations.
4. Basal/Squamous (Ba/Sq) notably high levels of KRT14, KRT5/6, and a lack of GATA3
and FOXA1
5. Stroma-rich
 It includes both luminal and non-luminal tumors  reflects the microenvironment,
 strongly overlapping with Infiltrated subtypes from TCGA and Lund classifications
6. Neuroendocrine-like (NE-like)
 This consensus class is strongly associated with neuroendocrine histological variants
 associated with TCGA Neuronal subtype

NMIBC molecular classification
 First comprehensive study was done at Aarhus University
Hospital, Denmark in 2016
 Sub-grouped into three major classes with basal- and luminal-
like characteristics  Class 1, Class 2, Class 3.
Class 3 tumors  elevated levels of lncRNA expression,
decreased expression of protein-encoding genes, and reduced
isoform switching.
APOBEC-related mutational signature based on RNA-seq data
preferentially in the class 2 patient group with poor prognosis.
Class 1 tumors
high expression of
early cell-cycle genes
Class 2 tumors
high expression of
late cell-cycle genes
Class 3 tumors
