Ependymomas are common childhood brain tumours that occur throughout the nervous system, but are most common in the paediatric hindbrain. Current standard therapy comprises surgery and radiation, but not cytotoxic chemotherapy as it does not further increase survival. Whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing of 47 hindbrain ependymomas reveals an extremely low mutation rate, and zero significant recurrent somatic single nucleotide variants. Although devoid of recurrent single nucleotide variants ...[more]

Project description:Background: Intrinsic glioma subtypes (IGS) are molecularly similar tumors that can be identified based on unsupervised gene-expression analysis. Here, we have evaluated the clinical relevance of these subtypes within EORTC26951, a randomized phase III clinical trial investigating adjuvant procarbazine, CCNU (lomustine) and vincristine (PCV) chemotherapy in anaplastic oligodendroglial tumors. Our study is the first to include gene-expression profiles of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) clinical trial samples. Methods: Gene-expression profiling was performed in 140 samples: 47 fresh frozen and 93 FFPE, on HU133_Plus_2.0 and HuEx_1.0_st arrays (Affymetrix), respectively. Results: All previously identified six intrinsic glioma subtypes are present in EORTC26951. This confirms that different molecular subtypes are present within a well-defined histological subtype. Intrinsic subtypes are highly prognostic for overall- (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). They are prognostic for PFS independent of clinical (age, performance, tumor location), molecular (1p19qLOH, IDH1 mutation, MGMT methylation) and histological parameters. Combining known molecular (1p19LOH, IDH1) prognostic parameters with intrinsic subtypes improves outcome prediction (Proportion of Explained Variation 30% v 23%). Specific genetic changes (IDH1, 1p19qLOH and EGFR amplification) segregate into different subtypes. We identified one subtype, IGS-9 (characterized by a high percentage of 1p19qLOH and IDH1 mutations), that especially benefits from PCV chemotherapy. Median OS in this subtype was 5.5 years after radiotherapy (RT) alone v 12.8 years after RT/PCV; P=0.0349; HR 2.18, 95% CI [1.06, 4.50]. Conclusion: Intrinsic subtypes are highly prognostic in EORTC26951 and improve outcome prediction when combined with other prognostic factors. Tumors assigned to IGS-9 benefit from adjuvant PCV A total of 140 samples were included in this study, profiles of 95 were FFPE derived samples run on exon arrays. 12 samples (part 2) can also be found in GSE16011 (PMID 19920198 and 16357140), and 6 from Oncomine (part 3).

Project description:Overall paediatric high grade glioma (pHGG) has a poor prognosis, in part due to the lack of understanding of the underlying biology. We therefore used high resolution 244k oligo array comparative genomic hybridisation (oligo aCGH) (Agilent Technologies) to analyse DNA from 38 formalin-fixed paraffin embedded pHGG samples, including 13 DIPG (ten pre-treatment samples and three post-mortem). The pattern of gains and losses were distinct from those seen in HGG arising in adults. In particular we found 1q gain in 22% of our cohort compared to 9% in adults. Homozygous loss at 8p12 was seen in 6/38 (15%) of pHGG. This deletion has not been previously reported in adult or paediatric high grade gliomas. The minimal deleted region is of the gene ADAM3A and homozygous deletion of ADAM3A was confirmed by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). This novel homozygous deletion of ADAM3A in pHGG merits further study. Loss of CDKN2A/CDKN2B was seen in 4/38 (10%) samples by oligo a CGH, confirmed by FISH on TMAs and was restricted to supratentorial tumours. Amplification of the 4q11-13 region was detected in 8% of cases and included PDGFRA and KIT, subsequent qPCR analysis was consistent with amplification of PDGFRA. MYCN amplification was seen in 2/38 samples (5%) and was shown to be significantly associated with anaplastic astrocytomas (p=0.03). Overall DIPG shared similar spectrum of changes to supratentorial HGG with some notable differences including high frequency of 17p loss and 14q loss and lack of CDKN2A/CDKN2B deletion. To our knowledge, this study examines the largest DIPG cohort to date using high-throughput genetic techniques. 38 high grade glioma samples including 13 DIPG (ten pre-treatment samples and three post-mortem) analysed by Agilent 244K array CGH. Samples BSG 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are the ten pre-treatment DIPG samples. Samples BSG 4, 12 and 13 are the three post-treatment DIPG samples.

Project description:To gain further insights into the role of the transcriptome deregulation in the transition from a normal plasma cell (NPC) to a clonal PC and from an indolent clonal PC to a malignant PC, we performed gene expression profiling in 20 patients with MGUS, 33 with high-risk SMM and 41 with MM. The analysis showed that 126 genes were differentially expressed in MGUS, SMM and MM as compared to NPC. Interestingly, 17 and 9 out of the 126 significant differentially expressed genes were small nucleolar RNA molecules (snoRNA) and zinc finger proteins. GADD45A was the most significant up-regulated gene in clonal PC compared to NPC. Several proapoptotic genes (AKT1 and AKT2) were downregulated and antiapoptotic genes (APAF1 and BCL2L1) were upregulated in MM, both symptomatic and asymptomatic, compared to MGUS. Myc mediated apoptosis signaling is one of the top canonical pathways differentiating the asymptomatic and symptomatic myeloma. When we looked for those genes progressively modulated through the evolving stages of monoclonal gammopathies, eight snoRNA showed a progressive increase while APAF1, VCAN and MEGF9 exhibited a progressive downregulation in the transition from MGUS to SMM and to MM. In conclusion, our data show that although MGUS, SMM and MM are not clearly distinguishable groups according to their GEP, several signaling pathways and genes were significant deregulated in the different steps of transformation process. Bone marrow (BM) samples were obtained from 20 patients with MGUS, 33 with high-risk SMM and 41 with MM. All samples corresponded to newly diagnosed untreated patients. To avoid misclassification or overlapping entities we decided to focus on MGUS patients with more than two years of stable follow-up. Samples were classified according to the International Myeloma Working Group criteria. The criteria for defining high-risk SMM has been described previously. In addition, five healthy donors were also included in order to relate the deregulation of gene expression profiling of clonal populations to normal condition. The study was approved by the research ethic committees of all participating centers and written informed consent was obtained from all patients in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. The main clinical and laboratory characteristics of these patients are shown in Supplementary Table 1.

Project description:Pig breeds have different attitude to traits like growth rate, carcass composition and reproduction parameters as well as other traits. These traits considered as external traits or end phenotypes are the outcome of complex biological processes and interactions. The main goal of pig breeding programs and the basis for crossbreeding is finding a balance between these traits. In pig production, Large White and Duroc breeds are commonly used to optimise respectively fertility and growth ability and differ on several production traits, indeed the first breed as a high fertility characters whereas Duroc is used as terminal sire for her growth performance and good carcass quality traits. In this study, we have used a quantitative label-free LC-MS proteomics approach to characterise and compare the liver proteome of two heavy Italian pig breeds, Italian Duroc and Italian Large White to identify difference due to their different genetic background. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 703094.

Project description:Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphomas (CTCL) represent a group of hematopoietic malignancies that home to the skin and have no known molecular basis for disease pathogenesis. Sézary syndrome (SS) is the leukemic variant of CTCL. Currently, CTCL is incurable, highlighting the need for new therapeutic modalities. We have previously observed that combined small-molecule inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) β and glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) causes synergistic apoptosis in CTCL cell lines and patient cells. Through microarray analysis of a SS cell line, we surveyed global gene expression following combined PKCβ-GSK3 treatment to elucidate therapeutic targets responsible for cell death. Clinically relevant targets were defined as genes differentially expressed in SS patients that were modulated by combination-drug treatment of SS cells. Gene set enrichment analysis uncovered candidate genes enriched for an immune cell signature, specifically the T-cell receptor and MAPK signaling pathways. Further analysis identified p38 as a potential therapeutic target that is over-expressed in SS patients and decreased by synergistic-inhibitor treatment. This target was verified through small-molecule inhibition of p38 leading to cell death in both SS cell lines and patient cells. These data establish p38 as a new SS biomarker and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of CTCL. Hut78 cells were treated with 4μM Enzastaurin, 5μM AR-A014418, 4μM Enzastaurin & 5μM AR-A014418, DMSO, or no treatment for three days. RNA was extracted and hybridized to Illumina microarrays.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The HHIP gene, encoding Hedgehog interacting protein, has been implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and our subsequent studies identified a functional upstream genetic variant that decreased HHIP transcription. However, little is known about how HHIP contributes to COPD pathogenesis. METHODS: Here, we exposed Hhip haploinsufficient mice (Hhip+/-) to cigarette smoke (CS) for 6 months to model the biological consequences caused by CS in human COPD risk-allele carriers at the HHIP locus. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs was performed followed by an integrative network inference analysis, PANDA (Passing Attributes between Networks for Data Assimilation) analysis. RESULTS: We detected more severe airspace enlargement in Hhip+/- mice vs. wild-type littermates (Hhip+/+) exposed to CS. Gene expression profiling in murine lungs suggested enhanced lymphocyte activation pathways in CS-exposed Hhip+/- vs. Hhip+/+ mice, which was supported by increased numbers of lymphoid aggregates and enhanced activation of CD8+ T cells after CS-exposure in the lungs of Hhip+/- mice compared to Hhip+/+ mice. Mechanistically, results from PANDA network analysis suggested a rewired and dampened Klf4 signaling network in Hhip+/- mice after CS exposure. CONCLUSIONS: In summary, HHIP haploinsufficiency exaggerated CS-induced airspace enlargement, which models CS-induced emphysema in human smokers carrying COPD risk alleles at the HHIP locus. Network modeling suggested rewired lymphocyte activation signaling circuits in the HHIP haploinsufficiency state. Total RNA was obtained from the lung tissue of C57BL/6J mice exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) or filtered air (air) for 6 months. Six mice from each of four groups with different genotypes (Hhip+/+ or Hhip+/-) and treatments (air or CS) were randomly chosen for gene expression profiling
