Project description:Low grade flat ductal intraepithelial neoplasia (DIN1a, flat epithelial atypia) is one of the earliest morphologically recognizable neoplastic lesions of the breast. Frequently, it occurs in association with lobular intraepithelial neoplasia (LIN). The aim of this study was to elucidate chromosomal aberrations in these early neoplastic breast lesions using array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis. Laser capture microdissection of 12 archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens harbouring both foci of DIN1a as well as LIN was performed. All analyzed cases of DIN1a and LIN showed chromosomal gains and losses. The aberration encountered most often was loss on 16q in 7 DIN1a (70%) and 10 LIN (91%) cases. Regarding changes in chromosome 1, four DIN1a (40%) and 7 LIN (64%) cases showed a gain on 1q. The results of our study show concurrent chromosomal aberrations of 1q gains and 16q losses in several cases with coexisting LIN and low grade flat DIN. These aberrations are known to be common in low grade invasive ductal carcinomas as well as more advanced (conventional) types of low grade DIN (low grade ductal carcinoma in-situ). Our results raise the possibility of similar molecular-genetic pathways in most of the cases with coexisting LIN and low grade flat DIN. In this study, 11 cases of classic lobular intraepithelial neoplasias and 10 cases with several areas of low grade flat DIN (DIN1a or flat epithelial atypia) were analyzed by array CGH. Sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens cut at 7-8µm were mounted on special foil-coated slides (Molecular Devices, San Diego, USA). The sections were then deparaffinized with Xylene, processed in decreasing concentrations of ethanol and stained with haematoxylin. Lasercapture microdissection for both lesions was performed at multiple sites using Veritas Arcturus. For reference-DNA, female mammary tissue without histomorphological changes obtained from reduction mammoplasty specimens was procecessed and laser-microdissected as explained above. Cells were digested in 10µl TE, pH 9, and 0.5µl proteinase K (20mg/ml) for 48h at 55°C. After inactivation of proteinase K at 99°C for 10min, the digest was stored at -20°C. Without any further purification, the complete digest was used for whole genome amplification by means of the WGA (Whole Genome Amplification) kit from Sigma following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Array CGH was performed as described previously. In brief, two µg of amplified tumor and reference DNA were labelled by random priming (BioPrime® Total Genomic Labeling System, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) with Alexa Fluor® 3 and Alexa Fluor® 5, respectively, and hybridized onto a tiling path BAC array, consisting of the human 32k BAC Re-Array Set (BACPAC Resources Center; http://bacpac.chori.org/pHumanMinSet.htm; DNA kindly provided by Pieter de Jong) and a 1Mb Resolution BAC set (clones kindly provided by Nigel Carter, Wellcome Trust Sanger Centre). All protocols are provided in detail on our website (http://www.molgen.mpg.de/~abt_rop/molecular_cytogenetics/) and more information concerning this platform have been submitted to the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/; GPL5114). For the analysis and visualization of array CGH data, our software-package CGH-PRO was employed. No background subtraction was applied. Raw data were normalized by “Subgrid LOWESS”. For the assessment of copy number gains and losses, we used circular binary segmentation in combination with log2 ratio thresholds of 0.15 and -0.15, respectively.

Project description:Purpose: To gain insight into genomic and trancriptomic subtypes of ductal carcinomas in situ of the breast (DCIS). Results: Thirty-two DCIS exhibited a luminal phenotype; 21were ERBB2 positive, and 4 were ERBB2/estrogen receptor (ER) negativewith1harboring a bona fide basal-like phenotype.Based on a CGHanalysis, genomic types were identified in this series of DCISwith the 1q gain/16q loss combination observed in 3 luminal DCIS, themixed amplifier pattern including all ERBB2,12 luminal and 1ERBB2/ER- DCIS, and the complex copy number alteration profile encompassing 14 luminal and 1ERBB2/ER- DCIS. Eight cases (8 of 57; 14%) presented aTP53 mutation, all being amplifiers. Unsupervised analysis of gene expression profiles of 26 of the 57 DCIS showed that luminal and ERBB2-amplified, ER-negative cases clustered separately.We further investigated the effect of high and low copy number changes on gene expression. Strikingly, amplicons but also low copy number changes especially on 1q, 8q, and 16q in DCIS regulated the expression of a subset of genes in a very similar way to that recently described in invasive ductal carcinomas. Conclusions: These combined approaches show that the molecular heterogeneity of breast ductal carcinomas exists already in in situ lesions and further indicate that DCIS and invasive ductal carcinomas share genomic alterations with a similar effect on gene expression profile.

Project description:Lobular intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 (LIN) is a recently recognized variant of intraepithelial lobular neoplasia of the breast composed of either uniform, generally small, cells (classic) with massive lobular distension, pleomorphic cells, signet-ring cells, or any cell type with necrosis. In contrast to classic forms of LIN, there is no consensus on therapeutic strategies for LIN3. In part this is due to the paucity of molecular data that could assist in defining the relationship of LIN3 to classic LIN and carcinomas. In this study we have employed array CGH to determine the patterns of chromosomal aberrations in 9 LIN3 lesions. By comparison to array CGH data of 13 classic LIN lesions, we demonstrate that LIN and LIN3 share several recurrent changes, in particular gains of 1q and losses of 16q. Both aberrations are known to appear early in tumorigenesis and to be associated with good prognosis. However, apart from this overlap, there were a number of karyotypic features that were observed exclusively in LIN3. Clearly, this lesion was characterized by a significantly higher number of DNA copy number changes (9 vs. 31 on average), a considerable complexity of chromosomal rearrangements with up to 16 breakpoints in one chromosome and overlapping high copy amplifications. The amplicons encompassed a number of known oncogenes such as ERBB2, CyclinD1 and FGF3 that have already been reported to be overexpressed in breast carcinomas. Our data suggest that, at the genetic level, LIN3 represents a highly advanced lesion with considerable resemblance to carcinomas and, therefore, reflects a lesion on the verge of invasion, and might represent the transition state from an intraepithelial neoplasm to breast carcinoma.

Project description:In a previous study of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast (see GEO accession #GSE7882) we identified six genes at chromosome 17q21.33 that were over-expressed in high grade cases, and showed a correlation between expression level and gene copy number. The aim of this study was to determine whether potential drivers of high grade breast cancer growth could be identified at 17q21.33. High resolution comparative genomic hybridisation was used to interrogate genomic aberrations in laser capture microdissected samples of ductal carcinoma in situ.

Project description:Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of abnormal amyloid fibrils in multiple organs impairing their function. CD138-purified plasma cells producing these fibrils are investigated regarding chromosomal alterations by interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (iFISH) using a multiple myeloma specific probe set for the IgH translocations as well as recurrent numerical aberrations. Aberrations genuine to AL amyloidosis cannot be detected due to the inherent limitation of this probe panel to known loci. We analyzed 118 AL amyloidosis patients by high-density copy number array to quantitatively detect genome-wide chromosomal imbalances. Most prevalent gains affected chromosomes 1q (37%), 9 (24%), 11q (24%), and 19 (16%). The most frequent deletion was monosomy 13 (28%) followed by partial deletions on 14q (21%), 16q (14%), and 13q (12%). The results were analyzed with respect to cytogenetic subgroups. In 88% of patients with translocation t(11;14) and concomitant gain of 11q22.3/11q23 detected by iFISH, the latter aberration was not due to trisomy of chromosome 11 but part of the unbalanced translocation der(14)t(11;14)(q13;q32) with breakpoint in the CCND1/MYEOV gene region. Partial loss of chromosomes 14q and 16q were significantly associated to patients with gain 1q. Our iFISH probe set is highly concordant with copy number results as it detects the most common cytogenetic aberrations present in AL amyloidosis. Beyond that, the probe panel is also the method of choice to detect translocations involving the IgH locus. In contrast to the results of our iFISH panel the frequency of hyperdiploidy detected by copy number array analysis is higher.

Project description:Purpose Chromosomal aberrations are a hallmark of multiple myeloma but their global prognostic impact is largely unknown. Methods We performed a genome-wide analysis of malignant plasma cells from 192 newly myeloma patients using high-density, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays to identify genetic lesions associated with prognosis. Results Our analyses revealed deletions and amplifications in 98% of cases. Amplifications in 1q and deletions in 1p, 12p, 14q, 16q, and 22q were the most frequent lesions associated with adverse prognosis while recurrent amplifications of chromosomes 5, 9, 11, 15 and 19 conferred a favorable prognosis. Multivariate analysis retained three independent lesions: amp(1q23.3), amp(5q31.3) and del(12p13.31). When adjusted to the established prognostic variables ie t(4;14), and serum beta2-microglobulin (Sb2M), del(12p13.31) remained the most powerful independent marker (P <.0001; hazard ratio = 3.17) followed by Sb2M (P <.0001; hazard ratio = 2.78) and amp(5q31.3) (P =.0005; hazard ratio = 0.37). Cases with amp(5q31.3) alone and low Sb2M had an excellent prognosis (5-year overall survival = 87%) conversely cases with del(12p13.31) alone or amp(5q31.3) and del(12p13.31) and high Sb2M had a very poor outcome (5-year overall survival = 20%). Moreover, integration of SNP mapping and gene expression identified CD27 as potential critical gene responsible for poor prognosis of del(12p) myeloma patients. Conclusion These findings demonstrate the power and accessibility of molecular karyotyping to identify novel strong independent prognostic markers: amp(5q31.3) and del(12p13.31) and to provide insights into putative pathways deregulated in sub classes of cancer patients.

Project description:To obtain a comprehensive genomic profile of presenting multiple myeloma cases we performed high resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mapping array analysis in 114 samples alongside 258 samples analysed by U133 Plus 2.0 expression array (Affymetrix). We examined DNA copy number alterations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in order to define the spectrum of minimally deleted regions in which relevant genes of interest can be found. The most frequent deletions are located at 1p (30%), 6q (33%), 8q (25%), 12 (22%), 13q (59%), 14q (39%), 16q (35%), 17p (7%), 20 (12%) and 22 (18%). In addition, copy number-neutral LOH, or uniparental disomy, was also prevalent on 1q (8%), 16q (9%), and X (20%), and was associated with regions of gain and loss. Based on fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) and expression quartile analysis, genes of prognostic importance were found to be located at 1p (FAF1, CDKN2C), 1q (ANP32E), and 17p (TP53). In addition, we identified common homozygously deleted genes which have functions relevant to myeloma biology. Taken together, the dysregulated genes from the myeloma genome indicate that the crucial pathways in myeloma pathogenesis include the NF-?B pathway, apoptosis, cell-cycle regulation and Wnt signalling.

Project description:Expression profiling of papillary carcinoma of the breast and grade- and ER-matched cases of invasive ductal breast cancer To identify differential expression between papillary carcinomas of the breast and grade- and ER-matched invasive ductal breast cancers, we performed expression profiling of 16 cases of papillary carcinomas of the breast and 16 cases of grade- and ER-matched invasive ducatal carcinoma of no special subtype. We further reviewed the papillary carcinomas of the breast and classified them into 3 subtypes, namely, invasive papillary carcinoma, encapsulated papillary carcinoma and solid papillary carcinoma. We also performed a hypothesis-generating comparison of differential expression between the 3 subtypes of papillary carcinoma of the breast.

In order to statistically investigate the similarity of aberration profiles we applied Pearson's product-moment correlation to cbs ratios of each of the corresponding arrays.
