Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonal neoplasm that remains of dramatic prognosis in its aggressive forms. Activating mutations of the ALK tyrosine kinase receptor have been identified in sporadic and familial cases of this cancer. We generated knock-in mice carrying the two most frequent Alk mutations observed in neuroblastoma patients. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the impact of ALK mutations on neuroblastoma formation in a MYCN amplified background. We selected several murine neuroblastoma tumors for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We generated three groups of tumors: 10 MYCN amplified tumors, 11 MYCN amplified/ALK F1174L tumors and 10 MYCN amplified/ALK R1275Q tumors.

Project description:The ALK^F1174L mutation is associated with intrinsic and acquired resistance to crizotinib and cosegregates with MYCN in neuroblastoma. In this study, we generated a mouse model overexpressing ALK^F1174L in the neural crest. Comapred to mice expressing ALK^F1174L or MYCN alone, combined expression of the two aberrations led to development of neuroblastoma with a shorter latency and higher penetrance. Here, we evaluated the transcriptional profiles of MYCN-driven neuroblastomas with or without the expression of ALK^F1174L to determine the pathogenic consequences of the ALK^F1174L/MYCN interaction in neuroblastoma. 10 mice were analysed in this study. Five ALK^F1174L/MYCN tumors were compared with five MYCN tumors. Total RNA was extracted, samples were labeled and processed using the Agilent Low Input Quick Amp two color Cy3(sample) and Cy5 (mouse reference) labeling kit and hybridized to Agilent SurePrint G3 Mouse Gene Expression arrays.

Project description:The RET gene has been identified previously as a target of activated ALK at the mRNA level in both human neuroblastoma cell lines and primary tumors as well as in murine tumors driven by mutated Alk and MYCN. Moreover, it has been shown that tumor growth of murine TH-MYCN/KI Alkmut tumors was impaired upon Ret inhibition by the vandetanib inhibitor, suggesting RET as a therapeutic target in ALK mutated neuroblastoma. To further demonstrate the crucial role of RET in ALK mutated driven neuroblastoma oncogenesis, transgenic TH-MYCN mice were bred with KI RetM919T tumors. We document an oncogenic cooperation between activated Ret and MYCN overexpression in neuroblastoma formation. We used microarrays to analyze the global programme of gene expression of MYCN/RetM919T tumors and compare these profiles with profiles of MYCN/Alkmut tumors (GSE46583). Altogether, our data show that MYCN/RetM919T tumors present with expression profiles close to MYCN/Alkmut tumors.

Project description:ALK is a tyrosine kinase receptor and oncogene in neuroblastoma (NB). The receptor is activated by the ALKAL2 ligand, but it is unknown whether missregulation of this ligand may play a role in NB carcinogenesis. Here, a TH-MYCN driven neuroblastoma mice was created +/- ALK F1178S mutation and +/- ALKAL2 overexpression

Project description:High-risk neuroblastoma (NB) currently presents significant clinical challenges. MYCN and ALK, which are often involved in high-risk NB, lead to increased replication stress in cancer cells, providing options for therapeutic exploitation. We previously identified an ATR/ALK inhibitor combination as an effective therapeutic approach in two independent genetically modified mouse NB models. Here, we identify an underlying molecular mechanism, in which ALK signalling leads to phosphorylation of ATR and CHK1, supporting an effective DNA damage response. The importance of ALK inhibition is supported by mouse data, in which monotreatment with ATRi resulted in a robust initial response, but subsequent relapse, in contrast to a 14-day ALKi/ATRi combination treatment that resulted in robust and sustained responses. Finally, we show that the remarkable response to the 14-day combined ATR/ALK inhibition protocol reflects a robust differentiation response in the tumour, reprogramming tumour cells to a neuronal/Schwann cell lineage identity. Our results identify a unique ability of ATR inhibition to trigger neuroblastoma differentiation and underscore the importance of further exploring combined ALK/ATR inhibition in NB, particularly in high-risk patient groups with oncogene-induced replication stress.

Project description:We used mass spectrometry-based proteomics to unravel anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) signaling in the ALK and MYCN amplified neuroblastoma cell line, NB1. We specifically measured the ALK phosphoproteome upon siRNA depletion of ALK and upon ALK inhibition using the ALK-targeting small-molecule inhibitor lorlatinib. For quantitative phosphoproteomics we used a tandem mass tag (TMT)-based approach. Conditions for the TMT 11-plex setup is specified below. For each siRNA depletion experiment, NB1 cells were treated with siRNA (80 nM; as specified below) for 48 hours prior to stimulation with 0.1% DMSO for 30 minutes. For inhibitor treatment, NB1 cells were treated for 30 minutes with either 10 microM or 10 nM lorlatinib. The experimental treatment conditions and TMT11-plex labeling are specified below: 126: siControl replicate 1, 0.1% DMSO 127N: siControl replicate 2, 0.1% DMSO 127C: siControl replicate 3, 0.1% DMSO 128N: siALK sequence 1, 0.1% DMSO 128C: siALK sequence 2, 0.1% DMSO 129N: siALK mix of sequence 1 and 2, 0.1% DMSO 129C: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 1 130N: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 2 130C: 10 microM lorlatinib replicate 3 131N: 10 nM lorlatinib replicate 1 131C: 10 nM lorlatinib replicate 2

Project description:To understand the in vivo transcriptomic response to ATR inhibition, RNA-Seq was performed 3 days after treatment of a previously developed neuroblastoma mouse model (Alk-F1178S;Th-MYCN; see Borenas et al., EMBO J, 2021) with the ATR inhibitor ceralasertib.

Project description:Long intergenic non-coding RNAs (lincRNAs) are emerging as integral components of signaling pathways in various cancer types. In neuroblastoma, only a handful of lincRNAs are known as upstream regulators or downstream effectors of oncogenes. Here, we exploit RNA sequencing data of primary neuroblastoma tumors, neuroblast precursor cells, neuroblastoma cell lines and various cellular perturbation model systems to define the neuroblastoma lincRNome and map lincRNAs up- and downstream of neuroblastoma driver genes MYCN, ALK and PHOX2B. Each of these driver genes controls the expression of a particular subset of lincRNAs, several of which are associated with poor survival and are differentially expressed in neuroblastoma tumors compared to neuroblasts. By integrating RNA sequencing data from both primary tumor tissue and cancer cell lines, we demonstrate that several of these lincRNAs are expressed in stromal cells. Deconvolution of primary tumor gene expression data revealed a strong association between stromal cell composition and driver gene status, resulting in differential expression of these lincRNAs. We also explored lincRNAs that putatively act upstream of neuroblastoma driver genes, either as presumed modulators of driver gene activity, or as modulators of effectors regulating driver gene expression. This analysis revealed strong associations between the neuroblastoma lincRNAs MIAT and MEG3 and MYCN and PHOX2B activity or expression. Together, our results provide a comprehensive catalogue of the neuroblastoma lincRNome, highlighting lincRNAs up- and downstream of key neuroblastoma driver genes. This catalogue forms a solid basis for further functional validation of candidate neuroblastoma lincRNAs.
