Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is a primary intraocular cancer in infants and toddlers. Direct biopsy is contraindicated in RB due to the risks of provoking extraocular tumor spread. In this study, we demonstrated that DNA methylation profile can be obtained from the tumor-derived cell-free DNA in aqueous humor (AH) and is highly concordance with that directly from RB primary tumors. It is the first time to identify unique DNA methylation pattern from RB tumor before surgically removing the eye. We provde the evidence that DNA methylation from AH could not only be used for RB diagnosis, but also for the prognostic prediction and potential therapeutic targets by personalized approach.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common tumor of the eye in early childhood. Despite recent advances in conservative treatment have greatly improved the visual outcome, local tumor control remain difficult in presence of massive vitreous seeding. Traditional biopsy has long been considered unsafe in RB, due to the risk of extraocular spread. Thus, the identification of new biomarkers is crucial to design safer diagnostic and more effective therapeutic approaches. Exosomes represent an interesting alternative to detect tumor-associated biomarkers. In this study we defined the protein signature of exosomes released by RB tumors (RBT) and vitreous seeding (RBVS) primary cell lines by high resolution mass spectrometry. A total of 5666 proteins were identified. Among these, 5223 and 3637 were expressed in exosome RBT and one RBVS group respectively.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is a malignant intraocular neoplasm occurs mostly in children. The malignancy caused due to altered miRNA expression in cancer tumors and circulating body fluids has been reported in several cancers. The aberrantly expressed microRNAs are useful for diagnosis and prognosticating the tumors. Circulating miRNAs have been identified as potential markers in neoplastic and non -neoplastic diseases. The aim of the study involves identifying microRNA signatures of serum of Retinoblastoma and possible use of differential miRNA as unique biomarker for RB.

Project description:Background: Recent therapeutic advances have greatly improved the eye preservation rate in patients affected by retinoblastoma (RB), however local tumor control remains more difficult in the presence of resistant and/or relapsing retinal or vitreous disease. Thus, the identification of new biomarkers is crucial to design more effective treatment approaches. Recently, technological advances have allowed to safely recover aqueous humor (AH) from patients affected by RB undergoing local treatment. Methods: in order to identify specific proteins associated to active vitreous seeding, we have performed proteomic analysis of AH samples derived from patients affected by RB in different disease stages. Fifty-five AH samples were firstly included in this study. A new widened cohort was then used to validate the proteins identified in the previous discovery set. Results: a total of 808 and 630 proteins were identified in the two analysis, respectively. Five proteins resulted more expressed in the active vitreous seeding group: C19orf57, Girdin, SRFBP, GULP-1 and DCD. These proteins are involved in cytoskeleton regulation, tumor proliferation and growth, invasion and migration of cancer cells. Conclusion: reliable prognostic biomarkers are needed to guide RB management. Proteomic analysis of AH provide a unique opportunity to identify tumor associated biomarkers in patients with RB.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (RB) is the most common primary intraocular malignancy of childhood. The diverse malignant and immune cells in tumors determine tumor progression, but the intratumoral heterogeneity, tumor microenvironment and their impact in RB remain poorly characterized. Here, we conducted transcriptomic profiles of around 70,000 cells from tumor samples of seven RB patients with pathological and clinical measurements. Fifteen cell types were identified where the majority were cone precursor-like (CP-like) and MKI67+ cone precursor (MKI67+ CP) cells. These cells expressed markers of cone precursor, suggesting that RB originated from cone precursor cells. The conversion of CP-like to MKI67+ CP led to the loss of photoreceptor function and increased cell proliferation ability in RB. By integrative copy number variation analysis, we found that two subtypes of MKI67+ CP cells were more malignant related to cell proliferation. The tumor microenvironment in RB was composed of three cell types, of which glial cells, including tumor-associated macrophages and astrocytes-like cells, created an immunosuppressive environment and promoted tumor growth and invasion by inhibiting the GALECTIN signaling pathway. Together, our study presents the first transcriptomic map of RB at a single-cell resolution and provides novel insights into the occurrence and progression of RB which will be important to the development of the future targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (Rb), the most prevalent intraocular malignant tumor in children with global survival rate less than 30%, is mainly caused by the deficiency of the tumor suppressor RB1. A line of evidence have shown that local inflammation and immune escape play important roles in the occurrence of Rb, however the underlying mechanism remains unclear. We hypothesize that the unique neuroimmune cell type, retinal microglia, has a vital role in the Rb pathogenesis. In this study, we differentiated microglia cells (iMGs) from established induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from a retinoblastoma patient with the defined RB1 mutations. We investigated the function of RB1 in innate immune response of microglia and found that the expression of interleukins and chemokines, especially interleukin 6 and TNF-α, were highly upregulated in LPS-stimulated RB1 deficient iMGs, which enhanced innate immune responses and created a pro-inflammation environment. These findings demonstrated that RB1 is indispensable to maintain microglia function in innate immunity and its deficiency leads to enhanced inflammation responses, which may accelerate tumor growth and malignancy. This study provides new insights for pathological mechanism and immunotherapeutic target of retinoblastoma.

Project description:Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common intraocular tumor in childhood and represent a very robust model about hereditary develop for cancer. We believe that miRNome expression may give clues to understanding Rb heterogeneity and to comprehend biological features in order to find new biomarkers for better treatments. We explore 12 Rb tumors from enucleated patients with no chemotherapy history from Children Hospital of Mexico Federico Gomez and Pediatric Hospital Medical Center XXI century by informed parental consent to collaborate with retrospective research. 5 bilateral and 7 unilateral, 4 female and 8 male samples were tailed and labeled with biotin to hybridize in GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Affymetrix array. Chips were washed and scanned 18hrs after hybridization.

Project description:In This work we analyzed the mirnome in plasma and corresponding extracellular vesicles (EVs) from 12 patients affected by retinoblastoma (Rb) a childhood intraocular malignant tumor, as well as from 12 healthy aged matched controls. Using hierarchical clustering with the detection score microarrays provide for each miRNA and we identified a plasma signature of 19 miRNAs in all Rb cases that were able to discriminate both cases from controls.
