Project description:Malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPMs) often show CDKN2A and NF2 inactivation but other highly recurrent mutations have not been described. To identify additional driver genes, we used an integrated genomic analysis of 53 MPM tumor samples to guide a focused sequencing effort that uncovered somatic inactivating mutations in BAP1 in 23% of MPM. The BAP1 nuclear deubiquitinase is known to target histones (together with ASXL1 as a Polycomb repressor subunit) and the HCF1 transcriptional co-factor, and we show that BAP1 knockdown in MPM cell lines affects E2F and Polycomb target genes. These findings implicate transcriptional deregulation in the pathogenesis of MPM. Genomic DNA was harvested from untreated malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cell lines and used to generate gain/loss profiles for each line using aCGH.

Data were analyzed to create gain and loss profiles for each tumor. This submission includes gcNormalized-data.

Project description:We report the genome wide binding sites of BAP1, HCF1 and OGT in bone marrow derived macrophages. De-ubiquitinating enzyme BAP1 is mutated in a hereditary cancer syndrome with increased risk of mesothelioma and uveal melanoma. Somatic BAP1 mutations occur in various malignancies. We show that mouse Bap1 gene deletion is lethal during embryogenesis, but systemic or hematopoietic-restricted deletion in adults recapitulates features of human myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Knockin mice expressing BAP1 with a 3xFlag tag revealed that BAP1 interacts with host cell factor–1 (HCF-1), O-linked N-acetylglucosamine transferase (OGT), and the polycomb group proteins ASXL1 and ASXL2 in vivo. OGT and HCF-1 levels were decreased by Bap1 deletion, indicating a critical role for BAP1 in stabilizing these epigenetic regulators. Human ASXL1 is mutated frequently in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) so an ASXL/BAP1 complex may suppress CMML. A BAP1 catalytic mutation found in a MDS patient implies that BAP1 loss of function has similar consequences in mice and humans. For BAP1, bone marrow derived macrophages were used differentiated from bone marrow cells of BAP1-3X Flag Tagged KI mice we generated. For OGT and HCF1, bone marrow derived macrophages were used from BAP1 WT mice.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is difficult to distinguish from reactive mesothelial proliferations (RMPs). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA-strands (~22 nucleotides) that post-transcriptionally regulate gene-expression. Studies have shown that miRNAs are potential diagnostic markers in other cancers; however, it is uncertain whether miRNAs are useful biomarkers for differentiating MPM from RMP. OBJECTIVE: To identify differentially expressed microRNAs which can aid in the diagnostics of MPM. METHODS: We screened with a quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR)-based platform the expression of 742 miRNAs in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) preoperative diagnostic biopsies, surgically resected MPM-specimens previously treated with chemotherapy, and corresponding non-neoplastic pleura (NNP) from 5 patients. RESULTS: By comparing the change in microRNA expression in patient-matched tissue samples, we identify 14 miRNAs which exhibit statistically significant deregulation between sample groups. CONCLUSION: Based on this initial screening of miRNA expression, we have identified 14 miRNAs which are potential diagnostic biomarkers and may aid in diffferentiating RMP from MPM. qPCR microRNA expression profiling. MicroRNA expression in surgical tissue samples and presurgery diagnostic biopsies of malignant pleural mesotheliomas was compared to corresponding patient-matched non-neoplastic pleura. Patient-matched diagnostic biopsies from still chemotherapy-naïve patients were included to test for chemotherapy-induced changes in microRNA expression.

Project description:Malignancies arising from mutation of tumor suppressor genes display an unexplained tissue proclivity. For example, tumor suppressor BAP1 encodes a ubiquitously expressed deubiquitinase for histone H2A but germline mutations predominantly cause uveal melanomas and mesotheliomas. We show that BAP1 inactivation causes apoptosis in mouse embryonic stem cells, fibroblasts, liver and pancreas, whereas melanocytes and mesothelial cells remain viable. E3 ligase RNF2, which silences genes by monoubiquitinating H2A, promoted apoptosis in BAP1-deficient cells by suppressing the pro-survival genes Bcl-2 and Mcl-1. Our data argue that BAP1 modulates gene expression by countering H2A ubiquitination, but its loss only promotes tumorigenesis in cells that do not engage an RNF2-dependent apoptotic program. We propose that intolerance of BAP1 loss, and perhaps the loss of other tumor suppressors, restricts the mutant tumor spectrum.
