Smoothened (SMO) inhibitors recently entered clinical trials for sonic-hedgehog-driven medulloblastoma (SHH-MB). Clinical response is highly variable. To understand the mechanism(s) of primary resistance and identify pathways cooperating with aberrant SHH signaling, we sequenced and profiled a large cohort of SHH-MBs (n = 133). SHH pathway mutations involved PTCH1 (across all age groups), SUFU (infants, including germline), and SMO (adults). Children >3 years old harbored an excess of downstream ...[more]

To understand the mechanism(s) of primary resistance and to identify pathways co-operating with aberrant SHH-signaling, we sequenced a large cohort of SHH-MBs across all age groups by sequencing, DNA methylation and expression profiling. Our data show that most adults but only half of the pediatric patients with SHH-MB will respond to SMO inhibition as predicted by molecular analysis of the primary tumor and tested in the SHH-xenografts, demonstrating that the next generation of SMO-inhibitor trials should be based on these predictive biomarkers. To further dissect the biological differences between the different age groups within SHH medulloblastomas, we looked at the DNA methylation profiles of SHH medulloblastoma samples. We investigated the DNA methylation profiles of 46 SHH medulloblastomas across all age groups using the Illumina 450k methylation array.

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is a rare disease in adults. In this study we elucidated the genetic landscape and prognostic impact of genetic aberrations in a cohort of 117 adult medulloblastomas. Histological features and pathway activation were evaluated on the protein level; 14.5% showed WNT activation, 63.3% SHH activation and 22.2% were annotated to non-WNT/non-SHH-MB. Genome-wide copy number analysis was performed by molecular inversion probe array technology. MB-related genes were sequenced in WNT- and SHH-activated MBs. 79.7% of SHH-MBs showed desmoplastic/nodular, all other MBs classic histology. WNT-MBs carried oncogenic CTNNB1 mutations in 88.2% and had monosomy 6 in 52.9%. In SHH-MBs, TERT promoter mutations occurred in 97%, mutations in PTCH1 in 38.2%, SMO in 15.5%, SUFU in 7.4%, and TP53-mutations in 4.1%. 84.6% of non-WNT/non-SHH-MBs had an isochromosome 17q. A whole chromosomal aberration (WCA) signature was present in 45.1% of SHH-TP53wt-MBs and 65.4% of non-WNT/non-SHH-MBs. In 98 cases with survival data, WNT-MBs had a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 68.6%. SHH-MBs TP53-wild-type and non-WNT/non-SHH-MBs showed 5-year OS of 80.4% and 70.8%, respectively. TP53-mutant SHH-MBs represented a prognostically unfavorable entity; all patients died within 5 years. Patients with a WCA signature showed significantly increased OS (p-=-0.011 for SHH-TP53wt-MBs, p-=-0.048 for non-WNT/non-SHH-MBs).

Project description:Medulloblastomas (MBs) are cerebellar tumors that can be classified into molecularly distinct subgroups that differ in pathology and prognosis. The mechanisms that underlie subgroup specification are largely unknown. While human SHH MBs express MYCN, Group3 (G3) MBs are associated with c-MYC (MYC) overexpression and often show metastasis that confers a poor prognosis. Although MYC proteins are thought to be functionally exchangeable, ectopic expression of Myc or N-myc in Trp53-/-;Cdkn2c-/- cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) induces G3 and SHH MBs, respectively, demonstrating that each Myc protein has distinct biological properties. We now show that Myc and N-myc differ in their affinity to Miz1 and that Myc, but not N-myc, effectively recruits Miz1 to its target sites on chromatin. The interaction of Myc with Miz1 is required for the genesis of G3 MB. Myc suppresses ciliogenesis and âreprogramsâ the transcriptome of SHH-dependent GNPs to stem-like cells by repressing genes highly expressed in SHH MB via Miz1. Consistently, target genes of Myc/Miz1 are repressed in human G3 MBs but not in other MB subgroups. Collectively, the data show that the interaction of Myc with Miz1 is a defining hallmark of G3 MB development. In this study, we show that Myc and N-myc differ in their affinity for Miz1, and Myc/Miz1 interaction is required for Group3 medulloblastoma (MB). The gene expression profiles of these tumors were compared to our previously published Group3 MB model as well as SHH model of MB (Kawachi et al., 2012, Cancer Cell). Cerebellar granule neuron progenitors (GNPs) [dka220-222] from postnatal (P) 6 Math1-GFP;Trp53-/-;Cdkn2c-/-. For SHH medulloblastomas, [dka204-206] and [blm015-017 or dka050-dka051], spontaneous medulloblastomas from Cdkn2c-/-;Trp53Fl/Fl;Nestin-Cre (Kawachi et al., 2012, Cancer Cell) and Ptch1+/-;Cdkn2c-/- (Uziel et al., 2005, Genes Dev) were used, respectively. Myc- [dka201-203] and MycV394D (termed MycVD thereafter)- [bvo017-bvo023] tumors were from Trp53-/-;Cdkn2c-/- cerebella of P6-P7 pups. Myc/ÎPOZ tumors [bvo002-bvo006] were obtained from Trp5Fl/Fl;Miz1ÎPOZ/POZ;Nestin-Cre cerebella of P6-P7 pups.

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor. MB is a cerebellar tumor that occurs mostly in children between the ages of 3-7 years but also in adults. Human MBs are classified into four subgroups: Wingless (WNT), Sonic Hedgehog (SHH), Group 3 (G3) and G4, each of which with distinct molecular signatures. SHH MBs with MYCN amplification and TP53 mutations and G3 MBs characterized by C-MYC (MYC) overexpression in ~17% of cases from gene amplification with stem like properties, are the most aggressive and least curable with current therapeutic regimen. Using an orthotopic transplant approach, we found that enforced expression of MYCN in cerebellar granule neural progenitors (CGNPs) from 5-7 days old Trp53-null mice induced SHH MBs after transfer in the cortices or cerebella of naive recipient mice. In contrast, overexpression of MYC induced G3 MBs. Because MYCN and MYC bind to the same E-box DNA sequences, we hypothesized that the difference between MYC and MYCN-induced gene expression and tumor identity might be due to their interaction with different partners in CGNPs. In this study, we investigated the role of the Myc interacting zinc finger protein 1 (MIZ1). We found that MIZ1 binds with higher affinity to MYC than to MYCN and that MIZ1 and MYC co-occupy thousands of promoters in G3 MB. Remarkably, enforced expression of a MYC mutant (MYCV394D) that no longer binds to MIZ1 in Trp53-null CGNPs or expression of wild type MYC in CGNPs that lack functional Miz1 resulted in massive changes of the resulting tumorâ??s transcriptional program. Tumors differed from both SHH and G3 medulloblastoma and had a later time of onset compared to MYC-driven G3 medulloblastoma. Our data demonstrate that interaction of MYC with MIZ1 is required for the development of G3 medulloblastoma. ChIP-Seq experiments for Miz1, c-Myc and NMyc from murine medulloblastoma material. Either sorted tumor cells (Miz1 and c-Myc) or spheres from tumor cells (Miz1 and NMyc) were used. Input-samples were sequenced as controls. RNA-Seq from G3 medulloblastomas after restoration of Atoh1 expression.

Project description:The main cell of origin of the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) subgroup of medulloblastoma (MB) is granule cell precursors (GCPs), a SHH-dependent transient amplifying population in the developing cerebellum. SHH-MBs can be further subdivided based on molecular and clinical parameters, as well as location since SHH-MBs occur preferentially in the lateral cerebellum (hemispheres). Our analysis of adult patient data suggests that tumors with Smoothened (SMO) mutations form more specifically in the hemispheres than those with Patched 1 (PTCH1) mutations. Using sporadic mouse models of SHH-MB with the two mutations commonly seen in adult MB, constitutive activation of Smo (SmoM2) or loss-of-Ptch1, we found that regardless of timing of induction or type of mutation, tumors developed primarily in the hemispheres with SmoM2-mutants indeed showing a stronger specificity. We further uncovered that GCPs in the hemispheres are more susceptible to high level SHH signaling compared to GCPs in the medial cerebellum (vermis), as more SmoM2 or Ptch1-mutant hemisphere cells remain undifferentiated and show increased tumorigenicity when transplanted. Finally, we identified location-specific GCP gene expression profiles, and found that deletion of the genes most highly expressed in the hemispheres (Nr2f2) or vermis (Engrailed1) showed opposing effects on GCP differentiation. Our studies thus provide new insights into intrinsic differences within GCPs that impact on SHH-MB progression.

Project description:BACKGROUND Focal high-level amplifications of MYC define a subset of high-risk medulloblastoma patients. However, the prognostic role of MYCN oncogene amplification remains less clear. We aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of this alteration alone and in combination with biological modifiers in a large cohort of 67 pediatric medulloblastomas with MYCN amplification (MYCN-MB). METHODS Twenty-one MYCN-MB with MYCN amplication and 56 MYCN-MB were respectively examined using either gene expression profiling and array-CGH, or immunohistochemical analysis and FISH. All 67 tumors were further subject to mutational analyses. Semi non-negative matrix factorization–based and unsupervised hierarchical clustering methods were used to identify biological groups. We compared molecular, clinical, and prognostic characteristics both within biological MYCN-MB groups and with non-amplified tumors. RESULTS Transcriptomic analysis of this large cohort of MYCN-MBs demonstrated a significant enrichment of MYCN-MB in the SHH and group D variants. Further substantiating this biological dichotomy of MYCN-MB, respective group affiliations were also accompanied by variant-specific cytogenetic aberrations including deletion of 9q in the SHH variant, and gain of 7q and isochromosome 17q/17q gain in MYCN-MBs clustering with group D tumors. Among clinically relevant variables, SHH subtype and 10q loss for Non-SHH tumors comprised the most powerful markers of favorable prognosis in MYCN-MB. CONCLUSION We demonstrate considerable heterogeneity within MYCN-MB in terms of genetics, tumor biology, and clinical outcome. Thus, assessment of disease group and 10q copy-number status may improve risk stratification of this group and may delineate MYCN-MB with the same dismal prognosis as MYC amplified tumors. Furthermore, based on the enrichment of MYCN and GLI2 amplifications in SHH-driven medulloblastoma, amplification of these downstream signaling intermediates should be excluded before a patient is enrolled into a clinical trial using a Smoothened inhibitor.
