Project description:DNA Methylation profiles were generated for retrospective cases to support work into investigation of the immune environment in pediatric ependymoma. Samples were analyzed using the Illumina 450k beadchip and processed using the Heidelberg classifier (v11.2b and subsequently v12.3 for subgrouping/subtyping). The aim of the study was to better understand the immune-tumor microenvironment in pediatric ependymoma and the methylation profiles support the diagnoses of each case.

Project description:Background: The high incidence of recurrence and unpredictable clinical outcome for paediatric ependymoma reflect the imprecision of current therapeutic staging and need for novel risk stratification markers. Gain of chromosome 1q has been reported as a frequent aberration and correlate of adverse outcome in ependymoma. We therefore evaluated a prognostic role for 1q25 gain across three age-defined European clinical trial cohorts of paediatric intracranial ependymoma. Methods: The frequency of 1q gain in paediatric ependymoma was assessed across 51 tumours (42 primary, 9 recurrent) using Affymetrix® 500K SNP arrays. Gain of 1q25 was evaluated by interphase FISH (iFISH) across 189 primary intracranial ependymomas from children treated on the CCLG/SIOP CNS9204 (n = 60) and BBSFOP (n = 65) adjuvant chemotherapy trials, or with primary post-operative radiotherapy (SIOP CNS9904/RT group, n = 64). Results were correlated with clinical, histological and survival data. Findings: Gain of 1q was the most frequent imbalance in primary (7/42, 17 %) and recurrent ependymomas (3/9, 33 %). Gain of 1q25 was the strongest independent predictor of tumour progression in both CNS9204 (HR 3·36, p = 0·0009) and BBSFOP (HR 4·10, p = 0·0009) trial cohorts. In contrast, 1q25 gain was not prognostic for the older CNS9904/RT only group (PFS: p = 0·37, OS: p = 0·95). Clinical variables implicated in adverse outcome amongst cohorts included incomplete tumour resection and posterior fossa location. Interpretation: This is the first study to prospectively identify then validate a prognostic genomic marker for childhood ependymoma across independent prospective trial groups. 1q25 gain predicts progression in primary chemotherapy cohorts but not those treated by post-operative radiotherapy. We propose 1q25 gain is incorporated as an adverse marker into future European chemotherapeutic clinical trial design. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from flash frozen tumour specimens and patient-matched peripheral blood Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays was performed for DNA from 51 ependymomas and 40 constitutional DNA samples. Analysing broad genomic aberrations in 51 paediatric ependymomas, looking particularly at 1q gain.

Project description:DNA methylation analysis was perfomed using Infinium 450K Methylation BeadChip platform on 140 PFA ependymoma patient samples. Resulting .idat files were then uploaded to the molecularneuropathology.org classifier to obtain molecular subgroup and copy number variance. Idat files were batch normalized and background corrected using default settings of the R package ChAMP to obtain GpG methylation beta values for analysis of differentially methylated GpG regions.

Project description:Pediatric ependymoma has relatively low frequencies of DNA mutations, which suggest that epigenetics may drive tumors. However, the epigenetic mechanisms for recurrent ependymoma are still poorly understood. Here, we performed longitudinal and comprehensive DNA methylation and gene expression analysis for recurrent pediatric ependymoma tumors from 10 patients, total 46 DNA methylomes (including primary tumors and matched recurrent tumors; normal pediatric brain tissues and PDOX tumors). Both RELA and PFA tumors maintained the subtype DNA methylation signatures during repeated relapses. We further identified the potential DNA methylation predictors, drivers and boosters and their potential regulated genes for recurrent ependymoma tumors. Increased DNA methylation levels within H3K4me1 enriched regions indicates disturbed functions of LSD1 gene in recurrent ependymoma tumors. Combining novel LSD1 inhibitor SYC-836 with radiation (XRT) significantly prolonged animal survival times in PDOX models of recurrent PFA ependymoma. Our PDOX models provide a unique platform for preclinical testing drugs and development of new therapy for pediatric recurrent ependymoma.

Project description:Background: A methylation-based classification of ependymoma has recently found broad application. However, the diagnostic advantage and implications for treatment decisions remain unclear. Here, we retrospectively evaluate the impact of surgery and radiotherapy on outcome after molecular reclassification of adult intracranial ependymomas. Methods: Tumors diagnosed as intracranial ependymomas from 170 adult patients collected from eight diagnostic institutions were subjected to DNA methylation profiling. Molecular classes, patient characteristics, and treatment were retrospectively correlated with progression-free survival (PFS). Results: The classifier indicated an ependymal tumor in 73.5%, a different tumor entity in 10.6% and non-classifiable tumors in 15.9% of cases, respectively. The most prevalent molecular classes were posterior fossa ependymoma group B (EPN-PFB, 32.9%), posterior fossa subependymoma (PF-SE, 25.9%), and supratentorial ZFTA fusion-positive ependymoma (EPN-ZFTA, 11.2%). With a median follow-up of 60.0 months, the 5- and 10-year-PFS rates were 64.5% and 41.8% for EPN-PFB, 67.4% and 45.2% for PF-SE and 60.3% and 60.3% for EPN-ZFTA. In EPN-PFB, but not in other molecular classes, gross total resection (p=0.009) and postoperative radiotherapy (p=0.007) were significantly associated with improved PFS in multivariable analysis. Histological tumor grading (WHO 2 vs. 3) was not a predictor of prognosis within molecularly defined ependymoma classes. Conclusions: DNA methylation profiling improves diagnostic accuracy and risk stratification in adult intracranial ependymoma. The molecular class of PF-SE is unexpectedly prevalent among adult tumors with ependymoma histology and relapsed as frequently as EPN-PFB, despite the supposed benign nature. Gross total resection and radiotherapy may represent key factors in determining the outcome of EPN-PFB patients.

Project description:PFA ependymomas are a lethal glial malignancy of the hindbrain found in babies and toddlers. Lacking any highly recurrent somatic mutations, PFAs have been proposed as a largely epigenetically driven tumor type. An almost complete lack of model systems has inhibited discovery of novel PFA therapies. Both in vitro and in vivo, the PFA hypoxic microenvironment controls the availability of specific metabolites to diminish histone methylation, and to increase both histone demethylation and acetylation at H3K27. PFA ependymoma initiates from a cell lineage in the first trimester of human development where there is a known hypoxic microenvironment. Unique to PFA cells, transient exposure to ambient oxygen results in irreversible cellular toxicity. PFA tumors exhibit a low basal level of H3K27me3, and paradoxically inhibition of H3K27 methylation shows significant and specific activity against PFA. Targeting metabolism and/or the epigenome presents a unique opportunity for rational therapy for infants with PFA ependymoma.
