Project description:How tumors develop or respond to therapies vary significantly among species. Here we report that medulloblastoma (MB) the most frequent malignant childhood brain tumor can develop from human hindbrain neuro-epithelial stem (hbNES) cells or induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NES (NES) cells via MYCN overexpression in mice. NES tumors developed fast with leptomeningeal dissemination, while hbNES tumors formed significantly later with no dissemination. By using large cohorts of MB patients we show that tumors resemble a common subgroup of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) MBs and that pluripotency and mTOR signaling correlate with poor prognosis. To conclude, both iPSC-derived and embryonic NES cells can be transformed into distinct humanized MB models valuable for identifying better diagnostic markers and drug targets.

Project description:Groups (Grp) 3 and 4 are aggressive molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma (MB), with high rates of leptomeningeal dissemination. To date, there is still a paucity of biomarkers for these subtypes of MBs. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance and biological functions of MSI1 in Grp3/Grp4-MBs. To that, we identified that the MSI1 knockdown sensitized D283 Med cells to cisplatin treatment by enhancing cell apoptosis and modulated cancer-related pathways. The results of the present demonstrate that MSI1 may play a role as biomarker for Grp3/Grp4-MBs. In addition, MSI1 knockdown combined with cisplatin may offer a potential strategy to be further explored in Grp3/Grp4-MBs.

Project description:The main cause of death in medulloblastoma is recurrence associated with leptomeningeal dissemination. Although the molecular basis of medulloblastoma has received considerable attention over the past decade, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the acquisition of metastatic phenotype remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify miRNA involved in leptomeningeal dissemination and to elucidate its target mechanisms. We analyzed miRNA expression profiles of 29 medulloblastomas according to the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding. The differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were validated on 29 medulloblastoma tissues and three medulloblastoma cells. The biological function of the selected miRNA was evaluated using in vitro studies. A total of 12 DEmiRNAs were identified including miRNA-192 in medulloblastoma with seeding. The reduced expression of miRNA-192 was confirmed in tumor seeding group and the medulloblastoma cells. Overexpression of miRNA-192 inhibited cellular proliferation targeting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). MiRNA-192 decreased cellular anchoring via repression of integrin subunits (αV, β1, and β3) and CD47. Medulloblastoma with seeding showed specific DEmiRNAs compared with those without seeding. MicroRNA-192 suppresses leptomeningeal dissemination of medulloblastoma through modulating cell proliferation and anchoring ability. leptomeningeal dissemination in 29 pediatric medulloblastoma patients

Project description:Medulloblastomas (MBs) and Glioblastomas (GBMs) are high-incidence central nervous system tumors. Different origin sites and changes in the tissue microenvironment have been associated with onset and progression. Here, we describe differences between the ECM signature of these tumors. We compared the proteomic profiles of MB and GBM decellularized tumor samples among each other and their normal decellularized brain site counterparts. Our analysis reveals that 19 proteins were differentially expressed in MBs, 28 proteins in GBMs, and 11 proteins in both MBs and GBMs. Next, we validated key findings by protein tissue array with 53 MB and 55 GBM cases and evaluated the clinical relevance of the identified differentially expressed proteins through their analysis on publicly available datasets, 763 MB samples from microarray-GSE50161, and 115 GBM samples from RNAseq-TCGA. We report a shift towards a denser fibrillary ECM as well as a clear alteration in the glycoprotein signature, which influences the tumor pathophysiology.

Project description:Medulloblastomas (MBs) are malignant pediatric brain tumors that are molecularly and clinically very heterogenous. To unravel phenotypically relevant MB subtypes, we compiled a harmonized proteome dataset of 167 MBs and integrated findings with DNA methylation and N-glycome data. Six proteome MB subtypes emerged, that could be assigned to two main molecular programs: transcription/translation (pSHHt, pWNT and pGroup3-Myc), and synapses/immunological processes (pSHHs, pGroup3 and pGroup4). Multiomic analysis revealed different conservation levels of proteome features across MB subtypes at the DNA-methylation level. Aggressive pGroup3-Myc MBs and favorable pWNT MBs were most similar in cluster hierarchies concerning overall proteome patterns but showed different protein abundances of the vincristine resistance associated multiprotein complex TriC/CCT and of N-glycan turnover associated factors. The N-glycome reflected proteome subtypes and complex-bisecting N-glycans characterized pGroup3-Myc tumors. Our results shed light on new targetable alterations in MB and set a foundation for potential immunotherapies targeting glycan structures

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of chromosome occupation and single cell gene expression or single nuclei chromatin accessibility in medulloblastoma tissues or cells. To further define the cellular identity at the single cell level, we characterized 26 MB tissues including 18 newly diagnosed MB tumor tissues by single cell scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq (the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin-sequencing) together with 8 previously reported MB single cell transcriptomics. The newly diagnosed MB tumors included four SHH-MBs (45,731 cells), nine G3-MBs (82,834 cells), thirteen G4 MBs (77,521 cells) with a median of 7,926 cells for scRNA-seq and 9,342 cells for scATAC-seq per MB tumor, respectively. To decipher how dynamic accessibility at the cis-regulatory elements (CREs) relates to the gene regulatory program in TCP-like cells from G3- and G4- MBs, we performed single nuclei ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) to determine the single-cell chromatin accessibility landscape using high-quality nuclei from a set of fresh G3 and G4 MB tumors that matched with scRNA-seq. Finally, we show that gene expression with chromatin state can be read in an allele-specific manner by using single nucleotide polymorphisms. Our studies identified a human-specific intermediate progenitor population important for cerebellar neural lineage development and the growth and metastasis of aggressive MBs, highlighting potential therapeutic targets.

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.
