Single-cell RNAseq of childhood medulloblastoma

ABSTRACT: We explore cellular heterogeneity in 28 childhood medulloblastoma (MB) (1 WNT, 9 SHH, 7 GP3 and 11 GP4) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), immunohistochemistry and deconvolution of bulk transcriptomic data. Neoplastic cells are broadly clustered according to subgroup, and within subgroups discrete sample clustering is associated with chromosomal copy number variance. Each subgroup contains subpopulations exhibiting mitotic , undifferentiated and neuronal differentiated transcript profiles , corroborating other recent medulloblastoma scRNA-seq studies and identifying new subpopulations. We identify a photoreceptor-differentiated subpopulation that is predominantly found in GP3 medulloblastoma, and in SHH, a subpopulation that constitutes differentiating nodules . Deconvolution of a large transcriptomic dataset shows that neoplastic subpopulations are associated with major and minor subgroup subdivisions, for example, photoreceptor subpopulation cells are more abundant in GP3-alpha. This scRNA-seq dataset also demonstrates medulloblastoma subgroup-specific differences in the tumor microenvironment and immune landscape, and reveals an SHH nodule -associated myeloid subpopulation. Additionally, we perform scRNA-seq on genetically engineered mouse (GEM) models of GP3 and SHH medulloblastoma. These models specifically matched the corresponding human subgroup-specific neoplastic subpopulations. We provide an interactive online resource that facilitates exploration of these MB single cell datasets. Collectively, our findings advance our understanding of the neoplastic and immune landscape of the main medulloblastoma subgroups in both humans and GEM models.

Ependymoma subpopulation lineages underlie clinical classification and outcome (microarray data set)

Project description:Introduction: single-cell RNA sequencing identified multiple subpopulations in childhood posterior fossa ependymoma. The contribution of individual neoplastic subpopulations to bulk tumor transcriptome-based molecular classification and patient outcome was estimated by deconvolution in a cohort of clinically-annotated primary and recurrent EPN samples. The abundance of EPN subpopulations was estimated in primary EPN samples and showed that the ratio of subpopulation fractions dictated assignment to the two main transcriptomic classification subgroups in childhood posterior fossa ependymoma. Longitudinal analysis revealed that subpopulation fractions changed between presentation and recurrence. Outcome analyses demonstrated that a different proportions of subpopulations were associated with differential survival.

Medulloblastoma associated DDX3X mutants restore malignant potential of medulloblastoma cells decreased upon the loss of DDX3X expression

Project description:DDX3X is an ATP-dependent RNA helicase. Missense mutations in DDX3X gene are known to occur in WNT, SHH subgroup medulloblastomas. The role of DDX3X in medulloblastoma biology was studied by downregulating its expression in a SHH subgroup Daoy medulloblastoma cell line. DDX3X knockdown resulted in considerable reduction in proliferation, clonogenic potential and anchorage-independent growth of the medulloblastoma cells. Transcriptome analysis was performed to delineate the molecular mechanism underlying reduction in the malignant potential of the medulloblastoma cells upon DDX3X knockdown. Exogenous expression of three DDX3X missense mutants in the DDX3X knockdown cells could restore the malignant potential of the medulloblastoma cells.

Identification of genes involved in SHH subgroup medulloblastoma using murine whole-body Sleeping Beauty insertional mutagenesis

Project description:Ptch+/- mice, which are predisposed to SHH subgroup medulloblastoma, were mutagenised using the Sleeping Beauty transposon to identify genes which increase the frequency of medulloblastoma formation. Gene expression in tumours was assessed both to investigate their relationship to human subgroup tumours, and to identify genes where expression was altered by mutagenesis. Total RNA isolated from tumours induced by SB mutagenesis were compared to normal cerebellum, tumours induced witout SB mutagenesis, and tumours from a distinct model of disease (GTML).

Single cell RNA-seq analysis of medulloblastoma

Project description:Medulloblastoma is a malignant childhood cerebellar tumour comprised of distinct molecular subgroups. Whereas genomic characteristics of these subgroups are well defined, the extent to which cellular diversity underlies their divergent biology and clinical behaviour remains largely unexplored. We used single-cell transcriptomics to investigate intra- and inter-tumoural heterogeneity in twenty-five medulloblastomas spanning all molecular subgroups. WNT, SHH, and Group 3 tumours comprised subgroup-specific undifferentiated and differentiated neuronal-like malignant populations, whereas Group 4 tumours were exclusively comprised of differentiated neuronal-like neoplastic cells. SHH tumours closely resembled granule neurons of varying differentiation states that correlated with patient age. Group 3 and Group 4 tumours exhibited a developmental trajectory from primitive progenitor-like to more mature neuronal-like cells, whose relative proportions distinguished these subgroups. Cross-species transcriptomics defined distinct glutamatergic populations as putative cells-of-origin for SHH and Group 4 subtypes. Collectively, these data provide novel insights into the cellular and developmental states underlying subtype-specific medulloblastoma biology.

Ependymoma subpopulation lineages underlie clinical classification and outcome (scRNAseq data set)

Project description:Ependymoma (EPN) is a brain tumor commonly presenting in childhood that remains fatal in the majority of children. Intra-tumoral cellular heterogeneity in bulk tumor samples significantly confounds our understanding of EPN biology, impeding development of effective therapy. We used single-cell RNA sequencing to identify four neoplastic cell subpopulations in posterior fossa EPN patient samples that underlie traditional subgroup classification and harbor divergent lineage trajectories and clinical outcomes. Neoplastic subpopulations expressed gene signatures associated with normal ependyma, ependymoma, and mesenchymal phenotypes, consequently named ciliated (CEC), transportive (TEC), undifferentiated (UEC), and mesenchymal ependymoma cells (MEC). The abundance of EPN subpopulations as estimated by deconvolution of EPN bulk tumor transcriptomes showed that the ratio of MEC and CEC cell fractions dictated assignment to the two main classification subgroups in PFA. Longitudinal analysis revealed evolution of subpopulation fractions, notably MEC and CEC, which changed between presentation and recurrence. Outcome analyses demonstrated that a higher proportion of UEC or MEC subpopulations was associated with shorter survival, whereas CEC was associated with longer survival. Unsupervised pseudotime analysis revealed divergent subpopulation lineages. The first lineage conformed to a classic cancer stem cell trajectory where UEC progenitors differentiate sequentially to TECs and then CECs. In the second trajectory MECs arise from UECs via TECs, potentially in response to hypoxia-mediated cellular stress, a process that we recreated in vitro in a hypoxia treated EPN cell line. Our study reveals the existence of significant, unappreciated cellular heterogeneity in EPN and provides important resolution of EPN tumor biology.
