Project description:Whole genome and transcriptome sequencing of a cohort of 67 leiomyosarcomas revealed ATRX to be one of the most frequently mutated genes in LMS after TP53 and RB1. While its function is well described in the ALT mechanism, we wondered whether its alteration could have complementary effects on sarcoma oncogenesis. ATRX alteration is associated with the down-expression of genes linked to differentiation in LMS, and to immunity in an additional cohort of 60 poorly differentiated sarcomas. In vitro and in vivo models showed that ATRX loss increases tumor growth rate and immune escape by decreasing the immunity load of active mast cells in sarcoma tumors. These data indicate that an alternative to unsuccessful targeting of the adaptive immune system in sarcoma could be to target the innate system. This might lead to a better outcome for sarcoma patients in terms of ATRX status.

Project description:Down syndrome is characterized by trisomy 21 or partial duplication of chromosome 21. There have been extensive studies focusing on the identification of the Down Syndrome Critical Region (DSCR). Our case aims in providing evidence that duplication of 21q21.1-q21.2 is not included in the DSCR and that it has no clinical consequences on the phenotype. Due to missing the appropriate gestational age for serological screening, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) analysis was performed for a pregnant woman with normal prenatal examinations at 22 weeks of gestation. The result of NIPT revealed a 5.8Mb maternally inherited duplication of 21q21.1-q21.2. To test whether the fetus also carried this duplication, ultrasound-guided amniocentesis was conducted and the result of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) with amniotic fluid showed a 6.7Mb duplication of 21q21.1-q21.2 (ranging from position 18,981,715 to 25,707,009) for the fetus. This partial duplication of 21q21.1-q21.2 for the fetus was maternally inherited. The pregnant woman and her family decided to continue the pregnancy after genetic counseling. This case clearly indicates that 21q21.1-q21.2 duplication is not included in the DSCR and most probably has no clinical consequences on the phenotype.

Project description:Mutations in the PTEN, TP53 and RB1 pathways are obligate events in the pathogenesis of human glioblastomas, the highest grade of astrocytoma. To investigate synergy between these tumor suppressors in mice, we induced various combinations of compound deletions conditionally in astrocytes and neural precursors in the mature brain. The resulting highly penetrant astrocytomas showed a spectrum of histopathological variation reminiscent of human tumors, and ranged from grade III to grade IV (glioblastoma). Secondary somatic mutations varied depending on the combination of initiating deletions and were relevant to human disease. Receptor tyrosine kinase amplifications were frequent in tumors initiated by combined conditional deletion of Pten and Tp53, but not when Rb, Pten and Tp53 were simultaneously deleted. Multiple mutations within PI3K and Rb pathways were acquired, however, Mapk activation was not consistently detected in astrocytomas. Gene expression profiling revealed striking similarities to previously described human astrocytoma subclasses. A subset of astrocytomas initiated outside of proliferative niches in the adult brain. Gene expression of 8 human brain samples including 2 normal brainstem and 6 brainstem low-grade gliomas were profiled using HG-U133 plus 2 arrays. Gene expression of 38 mouse tumor samples, including 24 Pten;p53 double knockout and 14 Pten;p53;Rb1 triple knockout, were profiled using Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 v2 arrays. Copy number changes of 51 double knockout tumor samples were analysed using Roswell Park Cancer Institute 6.5k BAC arrays. Copy number changes of 21 triple knockout tumor samples were analysed using Agilent mouse genome CGH mocirarray 244A.

Project description:We report clinical and genetic findings of a 14-year-old male with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with low-hypodiploidy. The medical history included neck pain for a month, facial nerve palsy on the right side for 6 days, fever, drowsiness, and weakness for 3 days, vomiting, diarrhea for 1 day. The physical examination presented features of hypovolemia, palsy of the facial nerve on the right side, enlarged lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly, sore throat, and petechiae of the skin. Radiological images indicated lesions of different organs. Bone marrow biopsy confirmed precursor T-ALL. In the FISH tests, KMT2A and BCR/ABL1 rearrangements were not observed. GTG banding revealed 3 cell clones, which confirmed the hypodiploidy. Multiplex RT-qPCR was performed. STIL/TAL1 (del1p32) gene rearrangement was found in the blast cells. Additional tests were performed using the CytoScan HD microarray technique. Molecular karyotype did not reveal hypodiploidy, but identified other abnormalities such as duplication of chromosomal regions: 4q25q35.2, 6p23.3p11.1 and 8p23.3q24.21, and the loss of heterozygosity of short arm chromosome 9. In two regions of the chromosome biallelic deletions were found at 9p21.3, including the CDKN2A, CDKN2B, IFNA1, MTAP genes and at 10q23.31, containing PTEN. The child died 9 days after diagnosis. Bone marrow biopsy, GTG banding, FISH techniques, and molecular karyotyping were used to make an accurate diagnosis. This case documents a rapid progression of the disease and unfavorable results of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with hypodiploidy.

Project description:Prostate cancers (PC) with loss of the potent tumor suppressors TP53 and RB1 exhibit poor outcomes that include resistance to androgen receptor (AR) pathway antagonists. TP53 and RB1 also influence cell plasticity and are frequently lost in PCs with neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation. Therapeutic strategies that address these aggressive variant PCs are urgently needed. Using deep genomic profiling of 410 metastatic biopsies, we determined the relationships between combined TP53 and RB1 loss and PC phenotypes. Notably, 40% of TP53/RB1 deficient tumors were classified as AR-active adenocarcinomas indicating that NE differentiation is not an obligate consequence of TP53/RB1 inactivation. A gene expression signature reflecting TP53/RB1 loss was associated with diminished responses to AR antagonists and reduced survival. These tumors exhibit high proliferation rates and evidence of elevated DNA repair processes. While tumor cells lacking TP53/RB1 were highly resistant to all single agent therapeutics, the combination of pharmacological PARP and ATR inhibition produced significant responses, reflecting a clinically-exploitable vulnerability resulting from replication stress.

Project description:Lineage plasticity is a major mechanism driving prostate cancer progression and antiandrogen therapy resistance. Deletions or mutations in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and TP53 tumor suppressor genes have been linked to lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Fusion-driven overexpression of the E-twenty-six transformation specific (ETS)-related gene (ERG), encoding an oncogenic transcription factor, is observed in approximately 50% of all prostate cancers, yet its role in prostate cell lineage determination remains elusive. Here we demonstrate that transgenic expression of prostate cancer-associated ERG blocks Pten and Trp53 mutation-induced decreased expression of Ar and its downstream target genes and loss of luminal epithelial cell identity in the mouse prostate. Integrative analyses of ERG chromatin-immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) and transcriptome data show that ERG suppresses expression of a subset of cell cycle-promoting genes and RB phosphorylation, which in turn causes repression of E2F1-mediated expression of non-epithelial lineage genes. Xenograft studies show that PTEN/TP53 double mutated prostate tumors are responsive to the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 or 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor palbociclib, but resistant to the AR inhibitor enzalutamide, while ERG/PTEN/TP53 triple-mutated prostate tumors behave completely opposite. Our studies identify ERG and the repressed cell cycle gene signature as intrinsic inhibitors of PTEN/TP53 double mutation-elicited lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. Our findings also suggest that ERG fusion can be utilized as a biomarker to guide the treatment of PTEN/TP53-mutated, RB1-intact prostate cancer with either antiandrogen or anti-CDK4/6 therapies.

Project description:A wealth of proteogenomic data has been generated using cancer samples to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms of cancer and how biological networks are altered in association with somatic mutation of tumor suppressor genes, such as TP53 and PTEN. To generate functional signatures of TP53 or PTEN loss, we profiled the RNA and phosphoproteomes of the MCF10A epithelial cell line, along with its congenic TP53- or PTEN-knockout derivatives, upon perturbation with the monofunctional DNA alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) vs. mock-treatment. To enable quantitative and reproducible mass spectrometry data generation, the cell lines were SILAC-labeled (stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture), and the experimental design included label swapping and biological replicates. All data are publicly available and may be used to advance our understanding of the TP53 and PTEN tumor suppressor genes and to provide functional signatures for bioinformatic analyses of proteogenomic datasets.
