AGAP3: a novel BRAF-fusion partner in pediatric pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Most available molecular data on pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) are provided by studies of adult cases. BRAF, RAF1 or RET rearrangements have been described in approximately 30% of cases. To the best of our knowledge, only seven cases with molecular data have been reported in pediatric PACC. We report here the comprehensive study of a PACC from a 6-year-old patient. We detected a novel AGAP3-BRAF fusion. This result showing a BRAF rearrangement demonstrates a molecular link between adult and pediatric PACC. Moreover, it identifies AGAP3, a gene located at 7q36.1 that encodes a major component of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor signaling complex, as a new partner gene of BRAF. The variability of BRAF partners is consistent with a driver role of BRAF alterations in PACC. The identification of such alterations is noteworthy for considering the use of MEK inhibitors in metastatic cases. We did not detect associated genomic instability. The better outcome of pediatric cases might be related to their stable genomic background.

Methylation profiling of adult astroblastoma

Project description:Aims and methods: astroblastoma is a rare glial brain tumor with singular morphology. Recurrent MN1-BEND2 fusions have been recently identified in most of pediatric cases. Adolescent and adult cases, however, remain molecularly poorly defined. Here, we performed clinical and molecular characterization of a retrospective cohort of 14 adult and one adolescent gliomas with astroblastic features. Results: strikingly, we found MN1 fusions a rare event in this age group (1/15). Using methylation profiling and targeted sequencing, most cases were reclassified as either pleomorphic xanthoastrocytomas (PXA) or high-grade glioma (HGG). PXA-like ABM show BRAF mutation (6/7 with V600E mutation and 1/7 with G466E mutation) and CD34 expression. Conversely, HGG-like ABM harbored specific mutations of diffuse midline glioma (2/5) or glioblastoma (3/5). These latter patients showed an unfavorable clinical course with significantly shorter overall survival (p = 0.027). MAPK pathway alterations (including FGFR fusion, BRAF and NF1 mutations) were present in 10 of 15 patients and overrepresented in the HGG group (3/5) compared to previously reported prevalence of these alterations in GBM and diffuse midline glioma. Conclusion: We suggest that astroblastoma comprises a variety of molecularly sharply defined entities. Adults’ astroblastomas harboring molecular features of PXA and HGG should be reclassified. CNS high-grade neuroepithelial tumors with MN1 alterations appears to be a truly pediatric entity and is uncommon in adult cases with a histology of astroblastoma. Astroblastic morphology in adults should thus prompt thorough molecular investigation aiming at a clear histomolecular diagnosis and identifying actionable drug targets, especially in MAPK pathway.

Interactome dynamics of RAF1-BRAF kinase monomers and dimers

Project description:RAF kinases play major roles in cancer. BRAFV600E mutants drive ~6% of human cancers. Potent kinase inhibitors exist but show variable effects in different cancer types, sometimes even inducing paradoxical RAF kinase activation. Both paradoxical activation and drug resistance are frequently due to enhanced dimerization between RAF1 and BRAF, which maintains or restores the activity of the downstream MEK-ERK pathway. Here, using quantitative proteomics we mapped the interactomes of RAF1 monomers, RAF1-BRAF and RAF1-BRAFV600E dimers identifying and quantifying >1,000 proteins. In addition, we examined the effects of vemurafenib and sorafenib, two different types of clinically used RAF inhibitors. Using regression analysis to compare different conditions we found a large overlapping core interactome but also distinct condition specific differences. Given that RAF proteins have kinase independent functions such dynamic interactome changes could contribute to their functional diversification. Analysing this dataset may provide a deeper understanding of RAF signalling and mechanisms of resistance to RAF inhibitors.

Mosaic BRAF fusions are a recurrent cause of congenital melanocytic naevi targetable by MEK inhibition

Project description:Among children with multiple congenital melanocytic naevi (CMN), 25% have no established genetic cause. Here, we study 169 CMN patients, 38 of whom were double wild-type for NRAS/BRAF mutations. Nineteen of these 38 patients had sufficient tissue to undergo RNAseq, which revealed mosaic BRAF fusions in 11/19 patients and mosaic RAF1 fusions in 1/19. These findings offer a genetic diagnosis to an additional group of patients opening the possibility for treatment options.

Genetic Abnormalities in Large to Giant Congenital Nevi: Beyond NRAS mutations

Project description:Large and giant congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) are rare melanocytic lesions mostly caused by post-zygotic acquisition of NRAS alteration. However, large/giant CMN may exhibit phenotypic differences among distinct areas patients and in addition, patients differ in features such as presence of multiple CMN or Spilus-like lesions. Overall, 50 fresh-frozen biopsies corresponding to 37 phenotypically characterized areas of large/giant CMNs, 9 satellite lesions, 1 acquired nevus and 3 healthy skin biopsies were analyzed by a multigene panel and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Mutational screening showed mutations in 76.2% of large/giant CMN. NRAS mutation was found in 57.1% of cases, and mutations in other genes such as BRAF, KRAS, APC and MET were detected in 14.3% of patients. RNA-seq revealed the fusion transcript ZEB2-ALK and SOX5-RAF1 in large/giant CMN from two patients without point mutations. Both alterations were not detected in unaffected skin and were detected in different affected skin. These findings suggest that large/giant CMN may result from distinct molecular events in addition to NRAS mutations including point mutations and fusions transcripts.

High-Resolution Genomic Profiling of Adult and Pediatric Core-Binding-Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia Reveals New Recurrent Genomic Alterations

Project description:To identify cooperating lesions in core-binding-factor acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML), we performed single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array analysis on 300 diagnostic and 41 relapse adult and pediatric leukemia samples. We identified a mean of 1.28 copy number alterations (CNAs) per case at diagnosis in both patient populations. Recurrent minimally deleted regions (MDRs) were identified at 7q36.1 (7.7%), 9q21.13 (5%), 11p13 (2.3%), and 17q11.2 (2%). Recurrent focal gains were identified at 8q24.21 (4.7%) and 11q25 (1.7%), both containing a single non-coding RNA. Recurrent regions of copy-neutral loss-of-heterozygosity were identified at 1p (1%), 4q (0.7%), and 19p (0.7%), with known mutated cancer genes present in the minimally altered region. Analysis of relapse samples identified recurrent MDRs at 3q13 (12.2%), 5q (4.9%), and 17p (4.9%). SNP genotyping was performed on 300 adult and pediatric CBF-AMLs; t(8;21), n=157 (adult, n=114; pediatric, n=43); and inv(16), n=143 (adult, n=104; pediatric, n=39). Germline control DNA from remission bone marrow or peripheral blood was available for paired analysis in 175 patients. In addition, for 41 patients, matched relapse samples were analyzed. Data were processed using reference alignment, dChipSNP and circular binary segmentation.

RNA-sequencing of six Pilocytic astrocytoma tumors

Project description:Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor. A recurrent feature of PA is deregulation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway most often through KIAA1549-BRAF fusion, but also by other BRAF- or RAF1-gene fusions and point mutations (e.g. BRAFV600E). These features may serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers, and also facilitate development of targeted therapy. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic alterations underlying the development of PA tumor in six cases, and evaluate methods for fusion oncogene detection. Using a combined analysis of RNA sequencing and copy number variation data we identified a new BRAF fusion involving the 5’ gene fusion partner GTF2I (7q11.23), not previously described in PA. The novel GTF2I-BRAF 19-10 fusion was found in one case, while the other five cases harbored the frequent KIAA1549-BRAF 16-9 fusion gene. Comparing fusion detection methods, Fluorescence in situ hybridization with BRAF break apart probe was the most sensitive method for detection of the two different BRAF rearrangements (GTF2I-BRAF and KIAA1549-BRAF). Our finding of a novel BRAF fusion in PA further emphasis the important role of B-Raf in tumorigenesis of these tumor types. Also, the growing list of BRAF/RAF gene fusions suggests these to be informative tumor markers in molecular diagnostics, which could guide future treatment strategies.
