Single-cell RNA-sequencing reveals enrichment of different macrophage subsets following radiation or anti-CD47 therapy in Diffuse Midline Glioma and Glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Pediatric diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), previously known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), is one of the most common malignant, fatal brain tumors of childhood arising in the ventral pons. Currently, radiation therapy (RT) is the mainstay treatment for DIPG. However, RT is not a curative treatment and provides only temporary relief in most patients. Therefore, new, and effective therapies are desperately needed for children with these tumors, but decades of clinical trials have so far failed to improve outcomes. Recent advances in immunotherapy have yielded some fantastic opportunities to effectively treat patients with high-grade pediatric brain tumors. The goal of the current study is to perform scRNA-seq on macrophages that either phagocytose-or not. Briefly, a DMG cell line, BT245 was mock-treated or exposed to fractionated RT and co-incubated with macrophages-derived from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells for 24 hrs in the presence of anti-CD47 mAb. Macrophages that either phagocytosed tumor cells- or not were sorted using flow cytometry and scRNA-seq was performed.

Human ESC-based modeling of pediatric gliomas by K27M mutation in histone H3.3 variant

Project description:Human diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG) are an aggressive form of pediatric brain tumors that arise in the pons in young children thus resulting in significant morbidity and very poor survival. Recent data suggest that mutations in the histone H3.3 variant are often found in these tumors, though the mechanism of their contribution to oncogenesis remains to be elucidated. Here we report that the combination of constitutive PDGFRA activation and p53 suppression as well as expression of the K27M mutant form of the histone H3.3 variant leads to neoplastic transformation of hPSC-derived neural precursors. Our study demonstrates that human ES cells represent an excellent platform for the modeling of human tumors in vitro and in vivo, which could potentially lead to the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms underlying neoplastic transformation and the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Human ES cells were differentiated to NPCs and lentivirally transduced with a combination of constitutively active PDGFRA (D842V), sh-p53, and WT or K27M mutant form of histone H3.3 variant.

Variant and cell-context specific H3K27M reprogramming results in distinct enhancer architecture and oncogenic states

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a fatal malignancy of the childhood pons characterized by a unique lysine-to-methionine substitution in histone-3 at lysine 27 (H3K27M). We show here that the specific Polycomb targets disrupted by H3K27M and resultant oncogenic state is dependent on both the variant of histone-3 and the cell- context in which the mutation occurs. Through primary DIPG tumor characterization and isogenic expression, we show that the same H3K27M mutation displays distinct modes of oncogenic reprogramming and establishes distinct enhancer architecture depending on whether it occurs in genes encoding H3.3 or H3.1. By comparison to non-malignant pediatric pontine tissue, we create a molecular map for DIPG, identifying and functionally validating both shared and subgroup-specific pathophysiology. Directly comparing the earliest events of H3K27M tumor initiation in putative cells-of-origin demonstrates that DIPG arises only from an oligodendrocyte precursor cell state.

Transcriptomic analysis of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) identifies a targetable ALDH-positive subset of highly tumorigenic cancer stem-like cells

Project description:Understanding the cancer stem-cell (CSC) landscape in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is desperately needed to address treatment resistance and identify novel therapeutic approaches. Patient derived DIPG cells demonstrated heterogeneous expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and CD133 by flow cytometry. Transcriptome-level characterization identified elevated mRNA levels of MYC, E2F, DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, glycolytic metabolism and mTOR signaling in ALDH+ compared to ALDH- supporting a stem-like phenotype and indicating a druggable target. ALDH+ cells demonstrated increased proliferation and neurosphere formation and initiated tumors that resulted in decreased survival when orthotopically implanted. Pharmacological MAPK/PI3K/mTOR targeting downregulated MYC, E2F and DDR mRNAs and reduced glycolytic metabolism. In vivo PI3K/mTOR targeting inhibited tumor growth in both flank and an ALDH+ orthotopic tumor model likely by reducing cancer stemness. Characterization of DIPG CSCs coupled with targeting MAPK/PI3K/mTOR signaling provides an impetus for molecularly targeted therapy aimed at addressing the CSC phenotype in DIPG.

Genome-wide Analyses of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas

Project description:Purpose: More than 90% of children with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) die within 2 years of diagnosis. There is a dire need to identify therapeutic targets, however lack of patient material for research has limited progress. We evaluated a large cohort of diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPGs) to identify recurrent genomic abnormalities and gene expression signatures underlying DIPG. Patients and Methods: We used single nucleotide polymorphism arrays to evaluate genomic copy number imbalances in 43 DIPGs from 40 patients and in 8 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas. Gene expression arrays were used to evaluate expression signatures from 27 DIPGs, 6 low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas and 66 low-grade gliomas arising outside the brainstem. Results: Frequencies of specific large-scale and focal imbalances varied significantly between DIPGs and pediatric glioblastomas outside the brainstem. Focal amplifications of genes within the receptor tyrosine kinase-Ras-PI3-kinase signaling pathway were found in 47% of DIPG, with PDGFRA and MET showing the highest frequency. 30% of DIPG contained focal amplifications of cell-cycle regulatory genes controlling RB phosphorylation, and 21% had concurrent amplification of genes from both pathways. Some tumors showed heterogeneity in amplification patterns. DIPGs showed distinct gene expression signatures relating to developmental processes compared to pediatric glioblastomas arising outside the brainstem, while expression signatures of low-grade exophytic brainstem gliomas were similar to low-grade gliomas outside the brainstem. Copy number analaysis: 43 DIPG samples, 8 Low Grade Gliomas using SNP6.0. Available matched normals are also profiled with SNP6.0. Expression analysis: 29 DIPG samples, 6 Low grade samples Please contact Suzanne Baker at Suzanne.Baker@stjude.org for CEL files and genotype calls.

IGR_GLIOMA_STUDY_SP

Project description:Glioma study (gene expression and CGH): Brain tumours are the most common solid tumors in children and have the highest mortality rate of all solid pediatric tumours. Despite advances in multimodality therapy, children with high-grade gliomas invariably have an Overall Survival (OS) around 20% at 5 years. There is growing evidence that the biological knowledge and the histo-prognostic classifications used for the management of adult HGG may not fully apply to children. Interobserver variability and specificity of pediatric tumors with respect to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification have lead to a high rate of misclassification in multi-institutional studies. From 90 biopsies of children with HGG (High Grade Glioma), comprising 37 DIPG (Diffuse Infiltrating Pontine Glioma), 73 extracted RNA have been hybrized on Agilent 4x44K GE arrays and 71 extracted DNA have been hybrized on Agilent 44K and 4x44K CGH arrays. The dataset contains raw data files from Feature Extraction. Genomic data were jointly analysed with clinical and histological data comprising: date_of_diagnosis, date_of_last_news, WHO_grade, deceased_at_median_survival_time, deceased_at_2years, localization of the tumour in brain, gadolinium_T1_inf_T2. A specific analysis was performed on DIPG.

Non-inflammatory tumor microenvironment of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a universally fatal malignancy of the childhood central nervous system, with a median overall survival of 9-11 months. We have previously shown that primary DIPG tissue contains numerous tumor-associated macrophages, and substantial work has demonstrated a significant pathological role for adult glioma-associated macrophages. However, work over the past decade has highlighted many molecular and genomic differences between pediatric and adult glioblastomas (GBM). Thus, we directly compared inflammatory characteristics of DIPG and adult GBM. We found that the leukocyte (CD45+) compartment in primary DIPG tissue samples is predominantly composed of CD11b+ macrophages, with very few CD3+ T-lymphocytes. In contrast, T-lymphocytes are more abundant in adult GBM tissue samples. RNA sequencing of macrophages isolated from primary tumor samples revealed that DIPG- and adult GBM-associated macrophages both express gene programs related to ECM remodeling and angiogenesis, but DIPG-associated macrophages express substantially fewer inflammatory factors than their adult GBM counterparts. Examining the secretome of glioma cells, we found that patient-derived DIPG cell cultures secrete markedly fewer cytokines and chemokines than patient-derived adult GBM cultures. Concordantly, bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data indicates low to absent expression of chemokines and cytokines in DIPG. Together, these observations suggest that the inflammatory milieu of the DIPG tumor microenvironment is fundamentally different than adult GBM. The low intrinsic inflammatory signature of DIPG cells may contribute to the lack of lymphocytes and non-inflammatory phenotype of DIPG-associated microglia/macrophages. Understanding the glioma subtype-specific inflammatory milieu may inform the design and application of immunotherapy-based treatments.

Proteomic analysis of chemical and genetic EZH2 inhibition in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma cell lines

Project description:Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is a rare and highly aggressive pediatric tumor. The average survival time after diagnosis is less than one year. Currently, there are no effective treatments. Characteristic of DIPG is a mutation in histone H3 which leads to a substitution of Lysine 27 to Methionine (H3K27M) which deregulates Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), including enzymatic activity of EZH2. Previous studies have shown that inhibition of EZH2 by chemical agents decreases DIPG cell proliferation and inhibits tumor growth in vivo. My thesis project aims to confirm that EZH2 could be a therapeutic target using chemical EZH2 inhibitors, small interfering RNAs and a CRISPR/Cas9 approach in a series of DIPG tumor cell lines and to determine underlying molecular mechanisms of action.

Utilizing Omomyc to Target MYCN-Amplified Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas

Project description:Genomic studies have shown that several types of pediatric brain tumors have dysregulation of MYC family members (c-MYC and MYCN). In fact, it has been estimated that about 50% of all human cancers have increased MYC, and this is correlated with tumor aggression and poor survival. Here we focus on targeting the MYCN oncogene in diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). DIPG has the worst prognosis of any pediatric brain tumor and is in desperate need of viable treatment options. Here we demonstrate that using a 90-amino acid peptide, termed “Omomyc” we are able to down-regulate endogenous MYCN and inhibit growth of MYCN overexpressing DIPG cells. Furthermore, Omomyc binds to promoter regions normally occupied by MYCN to affect transcription of a subset of genes including PLK1 and LDHA, among others. In vivo expression of Omomyc in DIPG cells implanted in mice slows disease progression, suggesting that MYCN targets are important for driving rapid tumor growth and may offer insight into potential targets for treatment of MYCN driven DIPGs.

Prenatal overexpression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor A results in central nervous system hypomyelination

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an incurable brain tumor that arises in the pons of children. Recent studies strongly suggest that roughly 30% of DIPG tumors contain copy number increases in platelet derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA). We established a novel mouse model by knocking in the human PDGFRA conditional to Cre exposure by crossing in germline Olig2-Cre (specific to oligodendrocytes). This knock in is used in conjuction with p53 tumor suppressor knockout conditional to cre exposure as well. Mutants contain the PDGFRA KI allele, while wild-types only contain p53 floxed alleles with Olig2-Cre. At 18 days of age, mutants demonstrate tremors and hind limb paralysis, and die shortly thereafter. The goal is to determine the differences in brain stems near the time of death in the presence of the PDGFRA mutation when compared to controls without this mutation.
