Project description:Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) have relative genomic stability and relatively benign clinical behavior but whether these two are related causally is unknown. To investigate the effects of introducing genomic instability into murine BCCs, we have compared ionizing radiation-induced tumorigenesis in Ptch1+/- mice vs. that in Ptch1+/- mice carrying mutant Blm alleles. We found that BCCs in Ptch1+/- Blmtm3Brd/tm3Brd mice had a trend towards greater genomic instability as measured by array CGH and that these mice developed significantly more microscopic BCCs than did Ptch1+/- Blm+/tm3Brd or Ptch1+/- Blm+/+ mice. The mutant Blm alleles also markedly enhanced the formation of rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS), another cancer to which Ptch1+/- mice and PTCH1+/- (basal cell nevus syndrome) patients are susceptible. Highly recurrent but different copy number changes were associated with the two tumor types and included losses of chromosomes 4 and 10 in all BCCs and gain of chromosome 10 in 80% of RMSs. Loss of chromosome 11 and 13, including the Trp53 and Ptch1 loci respectively, occurred frequently in BCCs, suggesting tissue-specific selection for genes or pathways that collaborate with Ptch deficiency in tumorigenesis. Despite the quantitative differences, there was no dramatic qualitative difference in the BCC or RMS tumors associated with the mutant Blm genotype. We investigated the effect of Blm deficiency on ionizing radiation-induced basal cell carcinoma and rhabdomyosarcoma tumorigenesis in Ptch1+/- mice. Six BCC and five RMS samples were obtained from separate mice. Liver tissue from each mouse was used as the normal reference.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) describes rare soft-tissue tumors that exhibit features of skeletal muscle differentiation. The most common subtypes in children are alveolar and embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, with the alveolar subtype characterized by PAX3/7 fusions. A lesser known and rarer subtype, pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS), occurs most frequently in adults vetween the ages of 40 and 50. This pleomorphic subtype is often misdiagnosed and little is known about its molecular characterization. Here, we conducted comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic, and methylation profiling of these tumors.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcomas (RMS) represent a family of aggressive soft tissue sarcomas that present in both the pediatric and adult setting. Pathologic risk stratification for RMS has been based on histologic subtype, with poor outcomes observed in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) and adult-type pleomorphic rhabdomyosarcoma (PRMS) compared to embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). Recent genomic sequencing studies have expanded the spectrum of RMS, with several new molecularly defined entities, including fusion-driven spindle cell/sclerosing rhabdomyosarcoma (SC/SRMS) and MYOD1-mutant SC/SRMS. Comprehensive genomic analysis has previously defined the mutational and copy number spectrum for the more common ERMS and ARMS, as well as revealed corresponding methylation signatures. In contrast, genetic and epigenetic correlates have not been defined for the rare SC/SRMS or PRMS histologic subtypes. Herein, we present genomic sequencing, copy number analysis, and methylation profiling of the largest cohort of molecularly characterized RMS samples to date. We identified two novel methylation subtypes, one having SC/SRMS histology and defined by MYOD1 p. L122R mutations and the other matching adult type PRMS. Selected tumors from adolescent patients grouped with the PRMS methylation class, expanding the age range of these rare tumors. Pediatric patients in the MYOD1-mutant group, as well as those clustering with PRMS, appear to have poor overall survival.

Project description:Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a frequent non-epithelial tumor of soft tissue that originates from a myogenic differentiation defect. Expression of SNAIL transcription factor is elevated in the alveolar subtype of RMS, characterized by a low myogenic differentiation status and high aggressiveness. SNAIL affects RMS metastasis by reorganization of actin cytoskeleton, regulation of ezrin expression and chemotaxis to HGF and SDF-1. The differentiation of human RMS diminishes SNAIL level. SNAIL silencing completely abolishes the growth of human RMS xenotransplants. SNAIL inhibits myogenic differentiation of RMS by binding to the MYF5 promoter, suppressing its expression, displacing MYOD from canonical to alternative E-box sequences and regulating myomiRs expression. SNAIL silencing allows the re-expression of MYF5 and canonical MYOD binding, promoting RMS cell myogenic differentiation. These novel results open potential avenues for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies based on SNAIL silencing.

Project description:The cell of origin for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) remains to be determined. We utilized two skeletal muscle specific inducible Cre mouse lines to transform both skeletal muscle stem cells and progenitors to determine which cells give rise to RMS and UPS.

Project description:To elucidate the pathogenesis of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), particularly for different subgroups, we performed a SNP array-based copy number analysis of 46 RMS specimens from primary cases with ERMS (N = 21), ARMS (N = 14), unclassified RMS (N = 1), and RMS of unknown histology (N = 3) together with 7 RMS-derived cell lines. The ERMS subtype was characterized by hyperploidy and was significantly associated with gains of chromosomes 2, 8, and 12, whereas majority of ARMS cases exhibited near-diploid copy number profiles. Recurrent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosomes 3 (28.6%) and 15q (35.7%) was detected in ARMS. Uniparental disomy/polysomy of 11p was commonly found in both tumor types. Focal gains/amplifications were associated mostly with PAX3-FOXO1 (5/10) or PAX7-FOXO1 (6/6) fusions, but novel amplified regions were also found, including the IRS2 in 2 ARMS. Gain of 13q was significantly associated with good patient outcome in ERMS. These findings not only illustrate genetic differences between ARMS and ERMS but also provide novel insights into the pathogenesis of RMS. Copy number analysis of Affymetrix 50K/250K SNP arrays was performed for 46 RMS samples.
