Project description:This study aimed to find any ambiguous genetic outlier for “oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (O_IDH_mut)” and “astrocytoma, IDH-mutant (A_IDH_mut)” and to redefine the genetic landscape and prognostic factors of IDH-mutant gliomas. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a brain tumor-targeted gene panel, methylation profiles, and clinicopathological features were analyzed for O_IDH_mut (n = 74) in 70 patients and for A_IDH_mut (n = 95) in 90 patients. 97.3% of O_IDH_mut and 98.9% of A_IDH_mut displayed a classic genomic landscape. Combined CIC (75.7%) and/or FUBP1 (45.9%) mutations were detected in 93.2% and MGMTp methylation in 95.9% of O_IDH_mut patients. In A_IDH_mut, TP53 mutations were found in 86.3% and combined ATRX (82.1%) and TERTp (6.3%) mutations in 88.4%. Although there were 3 confusing cases, NOS (not otherwise specified) category, based on genetic profiles, but they were clearly classified by combining histopathology and DKFZ methylation classifier algorithms. The patients with MYCN amplification and/or CDKN2A/2B homozygous deletion in the A_IDH_mut category had a worse prognosis than those without these gene alterations and MYCN-amplified A_IDH_mut showed the worst prognosis. However, there was no prognostic genetic marker in O_IDH_mut. In histopathologically or genetically ambiguous cases, methylation profiles can be used as an objective tool to avoid a diagnosis of NOS or NEC (not elsewhere classified), as well as for tumor classification. The authors have not encountered a case of true mixed oligoastrocytoma using an integrated diagnosis of histopathological, genetic and methylation profiles. MYCN amplification, in addition to CDKN2A/2B homozygous deletion, should be included in the genetic criteria for CNS WHO grade 4 A_IDH_mut.

Project description:As the progression of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas into grade 4 tumors significantly impacts patient prognosis, a better understanding of this process is of paramount importance for improved patient care. In this project, we analyzed matched IDH-mutant astrocytomas before and after progression to grade 4 from six patients (discovery cohort) with genome-wide sequencing, 21 additional patients with targeted sequencing, and 33 patients from Glioma Longitudinal AnalySiS cohort for validation. The Cancer Genome Atlas data from 595 diffuse gliomas provided supportive information. All patients in our discovery cohort received radiation, all but one underwent chemotherapy, and no patient received temozolomide (TMZ) before progression to grade 4 disease. One case in the discovery cohort exhibited a hypermutation signature associated with the inactivation of the MSH2 and DNMT3A genes. In other patients, the number of chromosomal rearrangements and deletions increased in grade 4 tumors. The cell cycle checkpoint gene CDKN2A, or less frequently RB1, was most commonly inactivated after receiving both chemo- and radiotherapy when compared to other treatment groups. Concomitant activating PDGFRA/MET alterations were detected in tumors that acquired a homozygous CDKN2A deletion. NRG3 gene was significantly downregulated and recurrently altered in progressed tumors. Its decreased expression was associated with poorer overall survival in both univariate and multivariate analysis. We also detected progression-related alterations in RAD51B and other DNA repair pathway genes associated with the promotion of error-prone DNA repair, potentially facilitating tumor progression. In our retrospective analysis of patient treatment and survival timelines (n = 75), the combination of postoperative radiation and chemotherapy (mainly TMZ) outperformed radiation, especially in the grade 3 tumor cohort, in which it was typically given after primary surgery. Our results provide further insight into the contribution of treatment and genetic alterations in cell cycle, growth factor signaling, and DNA repair-related genes to tumor evolution and progression.

Project description:BackgroundMutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes (MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, and PMS2) are associated with microsatellite instability and a hypermutator phenotype in numerous systemic cancers, and germline MMR mutations have been implicated in multi-organ tumor syndromes. In gliomas, MMR mutations can function as an adaptive response to alkylating chemotherapy, although there are well-documented cases of germline and sporadic mutations, with detrimental effects on patient survival.MethodsThe clinical, pathologic, and molecular features of 18 IDH-mutant astrocytomas and 20 IDH-wild-type glioblastomas with MMR mutations in the primary tumor were analyzed in comparison to 361 IDH-mutant and 906 IDH-wild-type tumors without MMR mutations. In addition, 12 IDH-mutant astrocytomas and 18 IDH-wild-type glioblastomas that developed MMR mutations between initial presentation and tumor recurrence were analyzed in comparison to 50 IDH-mutant and 104 IDH-wild-type cases that remained MMR-wild-type at recurrence.ResultsIn both IDH-mutant astrocytoma and IDH-wild-type glioblastoma cohorts, the presence of MMR mutation in primary tumors was associated with significantly higher tumor mutation burden (TMB) (P < .0001); however, MMR mutations only resulted in worse overall survival in the IDH-mutant astrocytomas (P = .0069). In addition, gain of MMR mutation between the primary and recurrent surgical specimen occurred more frequently with temozolomide therapy (P = .0073), and resulted in a substantial increase in TMB (P < .0001), higher grade (P = .0119), and worse post-recurrence survival (P = .0022) in the IDH-mutant astrocytoma cohort.ConclusionsThese results suggest that whether present initially or in response to therapy, MMR mutations significantly affect TMB but appear to only influence the clinical outcome in IDH-mutant astrocytoma subsets.

Project description:BackgroundIDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma have an indolent natural history and are recognized as distinct entities of neoplasms. There is little knowledge on the molecular differences between IDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma grade 2. Therefore, we investigated the multiomics and clinical data regarding these two types of tumors.MethodIn silico analyses were performed around mRNA, somatic mutations, copy number alternations (CNAs), DNA methylation, microRNA (miRNA), epigenetics, immune microenvironment characterization and clinical features of the two types of gliomas. A diagnostic model incorporating tumor purity was further established using machine learning algorithms, and the predictive value was evaluated by receiver operative characteristic curves.ResultsBoth types of gliomas shared chromosomal instability, and astrocytomas exhibited increased total CNAs compared to oligodendrogliomas. Oligodendrogliomas displayed distinct chromosome 4 (chr 4) loss, and subtyping of chr 7 gain/chr 4 loss (+ 7/- 4) presented the worst survival (P = 0.004) and progression-free interval (PFI) (P < 0.001). In DNA damage signatures, oligodendroglioma had a higher subclonal genome fraction (P < 0.001) and tumor purity (P = 0.001), and astrocytoma had a higher aneuploidy score (P < 0.001). Furthermore, astrocytomas exhibited inflamed immune cell infiltration, activated T cells and a potential response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), while oligodendrogliomas were more homogeneous with increased tumor purity and decreased aggression. The tumor purity-involved diagnostic model exhibited great accuracy in identifying astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma.ConclusionThis study addresses the similarities and differences between IDH-mutant astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma grade 2 and facilitates a deeper understanding of their molecular features, immune microenvironment, tumor purity and prognosis. The diagnostic tool developed using machine learning may offer support for clinical decisions.

Project description:Gliomas are heavily infiltrated with immune cells of myeloid origin. Past studies have shown that high-grade gliomas have a higher proportion of alternatively activated and suppressive myeloid cells when compared to low-grade gliomas, which correlate with poor prognosis. However, the differences in immune cell phenotypes within high-grade gliomas (between grade 3 and grade 4 or GBM) are relatively less explored, and a correlation of phenotypic characteristics between immune cells in the blood and high-grade tumors has not been performed. Additionally, myeloid cells of granulocytic origin present in gliomas remain poorly characterized. Herein, we address these questions through phenotypic characterizations of monocytes and neutrophils present in blood and tumors of individuals with glioblastoma (GBM, IDH-wild type) or grade 3 IDH-mutant gliomas. We observe that neutrophils are highly heterogeneous among individuals with glioma, and are different from healthy controls. We also show that CD163 expressing M2 monocytes are present in greater proportions in GBM tissue when compared to grade 3 IDH-mutant glioma tissue, and a larger proportion of granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells are present in grade 3 IDH-mutant gliomas when compared to GBM. Finally, we demonstrate that the expression levels of CD86 and CD63 showed a high correlation between blood and tumor and suggest that these may be used as possible markers for prognosis.

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations are rare in pediatric and adolescent gliomas. We recently identified three adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients with IDH-mutant low grade gliomas of the brainstem with several key clinicopathologic and molecular features in common. We discuss these three cases and review the current literature.

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1/2 mutant (IDHmt) astrocytoma is considered a T cell-deprived tumor, yet little is known regarding the phenotypes underlying T cell exclusion. Using bulk, single nucleus and spatial RNA and protein profiling, we demonstrate that a distinct spatial organization underlies T cell confinement to the perivascular space (T cell cuff) in IDHmt astrocytoma. T cell cuffs are uniquely characterized by a high abundance of gemistocytic tumor cells (GTC) in the surrounding stroma. Integrative analysis shows that GTC-high tumors are enriched for lymphocytes and tumor associated macrophages (TAM) and express immune cell migration and activation programs. Specifically, GTCs constitute a distinct sub-cluster of the astrocyte-like tumor cell state that co-localizes with immune reactive TAMs. Neighboring GTCs and TAMs express receptor-ligand pairs characteristic of reactive astrogliosis and glial scarring, such as SPP1/CD44 and IL-1β/IL1R1. Collectively, we reveal that T cell confinement in IDHmt astrocytomas associates with GTC-TAM networks that mimic glial scarring mechanisms.

Project description:PurposeThe T2-FLAIR mismatch sign is a highly specific diagnostic imaging biomarker for astrocytoma, IDH-mutant. However, a definitive prognostic imaging biomarker has yet to be identified. This study investigated imaging prognostic markers, specifically analyzing T2-weighted and FLAIR images of this tumor.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed 31 cases of non-enhancing astrocytoma, IDH-mutant treated at our institution, and 30 cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)/The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). We defined "super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign" as having a significantly strong low signal comparable to cerebrospinal fluid at non-cystic lesions rather than just a pale FLAIR low-signal tumor lesion as in conventional T2-FLAIR mismatch sign. Cysts were defined as having a round or oval shape and were excluded from the criteria for the super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign. We evaluated the presence or absence of the T2-FLAIR mismatch sign and super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign using preoperative MRI and analyzed the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by log-rank test.ResultsThe T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was present in 17 cases (55%) in our institution and 9 cases (30%) within the TCGA-LGG dataset without any correlation with PFS or OS. However, the super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign was detected in 8 cases (26%) at our institution and 13 cases (43%) in the TCGA-LGG dataset. At our institution, patients displaying the super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign showed significantly extended PFS (122.7 vs. 35.9 months, p = 0.0491) and OS (not reached vs. 116.7 months, p = 0.0232). Similarly, in the TCGA-LGG dataset, those with the super T2-FLAIR mismatch sign exhibited notably longer OS (not reached vs. 44.0 months, p = 0.0177).ConclusionThe super T2-FLAIR mismatch is a promising prognostic imaging biomarker for non-enhancing astrocytoma, IDH-mutant.

Project description:Background: This study aims to find any ambiguous genetic outlier for “oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (O_IDH_mut)” and “astrocytoma, IDH-mutant (A_IDH_mut)” and to redefine the genetic landscape of IDH-mutant gliomas. Methods: The next-generation sequencing (NGS) using a brain tumor-targeted gene panel, methylation profiles, and clinicopathological features were analyzed in O_IDH_mut (n=74) and A_IDH_mut (n=95). Results: Three had ambiguous genetic profiles for O_IDH_mut or A_IDH_mut. Two were unusual TP53-mutant O_IDH_mut, but classified into O_IDH_mut by DKFZ methylation classifier (MC) (score: 0.98). The remaining one was a 1p/19q-codeleted and TERTp-mutant A_IDH_mut, which also had TP53 and CIC mutations. This case matched to O_IDH_mut (Score: 0.75) by the DKFZ-MC v.11b4 algorithm but was corrected to A_IDH_mut_HG (high-grade) (Score: 0.84) using the updated DKFZ-MC v.12.5. The remaining 97.3% and 98.9% of O_IDH_mut and A_IDH_mut had a classic genomic landscape. The patients with MYCN amplified and/or CDKN2A/2B homozygously deleted A_IDH_mut had a worse prognosis than those without these genes alterations Conclusion: CIC and/or FUBP1 mutations were detected in 93.2% and MGMTp methylation were detected in 95.9% of O_IDH_mut patients. Accepting the fact that 1p/19q codeletion and TP53 mutations are not 100% mutually exclusive, as in the three exceptional cases mentioned above, would be of great help in diagnosing the two subtypes of IDH-mutant diffuse glioma. In histopathologically or genetically ambiguous cases, MC can be an objective tool to avoid a diagnosis of NOS (not otherwise specified) or NEC (not elsewhere classified) as well as tumour classification. The authors have not encountered true mixed oligoastrocytomas using genetic and methylation profiles-integrated diagnosis.
