Mutations within FGFR1 and BRAF indicate superior outcome in diffuse midline gliomas, H3F3A K27M mutant

Project description:Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a devastating disease that is defined by its localization, by the diffuse growth of astrocytic tumor cells, and by K27M mutations within Histone H3 proteins. In a large series of such tumor samples (n=83), we show here that 12 % of these cases (n=10) harbor concomitant hotspot mutations within FGFR1 or BRAF. Respective cases were all located in midline structures and matched with reference cases of DMG using global DNA methylation profiling. TP53 mutations were significantly more frequent in BRAF/FGFR1 wild type cases. Presence of hotspot mutations within FGFR1 or BRAF was associated with a significantly better overall survival, which was independent of the patients’ age and tumor localization. Thus, our results establish the relevance of FGFR1 or BRAF mutations in DMG as a prognostic marker and open new targeted therapy options in this subgroup of DMG.

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.
