Detection and genomic analysis of BRAF fusions in Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma through the combination and integration of multi-omic data

ABSTRACT: Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytoma (JPAs) are highly vascular tumors and show pervasive immune infiltration, which can lead to low tumor cell purity in clinical samples. In some instances, this results in gene fusions that are difficult to detect with conventional omics approaches including RNA-Seq. To this effect, we applied RNA-Seq as well as linked-read whole-genome sequencing and in situ Hi-C as new approaches to detect and characterize low-frequency gene fusions at the genomic, transcriptomic and spatial level. Overall, we demonstrate the power of integrating multi-omic datasets to identify low frequency fusions and characterize the JPA genome at high resolution.

InFusion: advancing discovery of fusion genes and chimeric transcripts from RNA-seq data

Project description:Gene fusions and chimeric transcripts occur frequently in cancers and in some cases drive the development of the disease. An accurate detection of these events is crucial for cancer research and in a long-term perspective could be applied for personalized therapy. RNA-seq technology has been established as an efficient approach to investigate transcriptomes and search for gene fusions and chimeric transcripts on a genome-wide scale. A number of computational methods for the detection of gene fusions from RNA-seq data have been developed. However, recent studies demonstrate differences between commonly used approaches in terms of specificity and sensitivity. Moreover their ability to detect gene fusions on the isoform level has not been studied carefully so far. Here we propose a novel computational approach called InFusion for fusion gene detection from deep RNA sequencing data. Validation of InFusion on simulated and on several public RNA-seq datasets demonstrated better detection accuracy compared to other tools. We also performed deep RNA sequencing of two well-established prostate cancer cell lines. Using these data we showed that InFusion is capable of discovering alternatively spliced gene fusion isoforms as well as chimeric transcripts that include non-exonic regions. In addition our method can detect anti-sense transcription in the fusions by incorporating strand specificity of the sequencing library.

Frequent miRNA-convergent fusion gene events in breast cancer

Project description:Studies of fusion genes have mainly focused on the formation of fusions that result in the production of hybrid proteins or, alternatively, on promoter-switching events that put a gene under the control of aberrant signals. However, gene fusions may also disrupt the transcriptional control of genes that are encoded in introns downstream of the breakpoint. By ignoring structural constraints of the transcribed fusions, we highlight the importance of a largely unexplored function of fusion genes. Using breast cancer as an example, we show that miRNA host genes are specifically enriched in fusion genes and that many different, low-frequency, 5' partners may deregulate the same miRNA irrespective of the coding potential of the fusion transcript. These results indicate that the concept of recurrence, defined by the rate of functionally important aberrations, needs to be revised to encompass convergent fusions that affect a miRNA independently of transcript structure and protein-coding potential.

Human junior pilocytic astrocytoma

Project description:Microglia in the microenvironment of low-grade tumors have been shown to allow and support tumor growth, but the expression profile of these microglia are unknown. To examine the role of microglia in junior pilocytic astrocytomas, macrophages were flow sorted from cyroprotected surgical excisions of tumors and normal brain tissues. Upregulated markers of tumor-associated microglia were verified and compared to mouse tumor-associated microglia.

Evolution of monoclonal zebrafish Myc-induced T-ALL, assessed by copy number variant analysis

Project description:Clonal evolution and intratumoral heterogeneity drive cancer progression through unknown molecular mechanisms. To address this issue, functional differences between single T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) clones were assessed using a zebrafish transgenic model. Functional variation was observed within individual clones, with a minority of clones enhancing growth rate and leukemia propagating potential with time. We analyzed CNVs between monoclonal primary transplants and secondary transplants of clones that evovled increased leukemia propagating potential, and well as non-evovled clones with inherently high and low leukemia propagating potential. The goal of this study was to identify CNVs commonly assoicated with increased leukemia propagating cell frequency. Myc-induced T-ALL were generated in syngenic CG1. Single T-ALL cells were transplanted into recipitent CG1, resulting in monoclonal T-ALL. In some instances, the monoclonal T-ALL were serially passaged. Leukemia propagating frequency was calculated for each T-ALL clone, at each passage. In this analysis, 9 primary T-ALL and 35 monoclonal T-ALL were individually run against a CG1 control.

Spontaneous Cell Fusions as a Mechanism of Parasexual Recombination in Tumor Cell Populations. [2]

Project description:Initiation and progression of cancers reflect the underlying process of somatic evolution, which follows a Darwinian logic, i.e., diversification of heritable phenotypes provides a substrate for natural selection, resulting in the outgrowth of the most fit subpopulations. Although somatic evolution can tap into multiple sources of diversification, it is assumed to lack access to (para)sexual recombination – a key diversification mechanism throughout all strata of life. Based on observations of spontaneous fusions involving cancer cells, reported genetic instability of polypoid cells, and precedence of fusion-mediated parasexual recombination in fungi, we asked whether cell fusions could serve as a source of parasexual recombination in cancer cell populations. Using differentially labelled tumor cells, we found evidence of low-frequency, spontaneous cell fusions between carcinoma cells in multiple cell line models of breast cancer both in vitro and in vivo. While some hybrids remained polyploid, many displayed partial ploidy reduction, generating diverse progeny with heterogeneous inheritance of parental alleles, indicative of partial recombination. Hybrid cells also displayed elevated levels of phenotypic plasticity, which may further amplify the impact of cell fusions on the diversification of phenotypic traits. Using mathematical modeling, we demonstrated that the observed rates of spontaneous somatic cell fusions may enable populations of tumor cells to amplify clonal heterogeneity, thus facilitating the exploration of larger areas of the adaptive landscape, relative to strictly asexual populations, which may substantially accelerate a tumor’s ability to adapt to new selective pressures.
