Recurrent FGFR-alterations are frequent oncogenic drivers and therapeutic targets in pediatric low-grade gliomas [RNA-Seq 2]

ABSTRACT: Alterations in Fibroblast growth factor receptor proteins frequently occur as oncogenes in many cancers. FGFR alterations have been reported in a subset of pediatric gliomas, representing a therapeutic target for precision medicine approaches. We performed a genomic analysis of 13,659 gliomas and found that 4.5% harbor FGFR alterations including structural variants and single nucleotide variants. FGFR family members are differentially enriched by age, tumor grade, and histological subtype. FGFR1 alterations are most frequent in pediatric gliomas, particularly pediatric low-grade gliomas, while FGFR3 drivers were associated with adult gliomas. In vitro and in vivo functional studies confirm FGFR1 alterations to be sufficient to activate MAPK and mTOR signaling, drive gliomagenesis and activate neuronal transcriptional programs. FGFR1-driven models showed sensitivity to MAPK pathway inhibitors, including panFGFR inhibitors that are FDA approved for use in other cancers. While early FGFR inhibition was sufficient to prolong survival of mice bearing FGFR-driven xenografts, this was insufficient to induce cures. Similarly, review of patients treated with currently available MAPK pathway or FGFR inhibitors revealed modest responses. This study provides key insights into the biology of FGFR1-altered gliomas and potential strategies to therapeutically target them.

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.

A Compendium of Syngeneic, Transplantable Pediatric High-Grade Glioma Models Reveals Subtype-Specific Therapeutic Vulnerabilities

Project description:Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGG) are lethal, incurable brain tumors frequently driven by clonal mutations in histone genes. They often harbor a range of additional genetic alterations that correlate with different ages, anatomic locations, and tumor subtypes. We developed models representing 16 pHGG subtypes driven by different combinations of alterations targeted to specific brain regions. Tumors developed with varying latencies and cell lines derived from these models engrafted in syngeneic, immunocompetent mice with high penetrance. Targeted drug screening revealed unexpected selective vulnerabilities—H3.3G34R/PDGFRAC235Yto FGFR inhibition, H3.3K27M/PDGFRAWTto PDGFRA inhibition, and H3.3K27M/PDGFRAWTand H3.3K27M/PPM1DΔC/PIK3CAE545Kto combined inhibition of MEK and PIK3CA. Moreover, H3.3K27Mtumors with PIK3CA, NF1, and FGFR1 mutations were more invasive and harbored distinct additional phenotypes, such as exophytic spread, cranial nerve invasion, and spinal dissemination. Collectively, these models reveal that different partner alterations produce distinct effects on pHGG cellular composition, latency, invasiveness, and treatment sensitivity.

Acquired FGFR and FGF alterations confer resistance to estrogen receptor (ER) targeted therapy in ER+ metastatic breast cancer

Project description:Beyond acquired mutations in the estrogen receptor (ER), mechanisms of resistance to ER-directed therapies in ER+ breast cancer have not been clearly defined. We conducted a genome-scale functional screen spanning 10,135 genes to investigate genes whose overexpression confer resistance to selective estrogen receptor degraders. Pathway analysis of candidate resistance genes demonstrated that the FGFR, ERBB, insulin receptor, and MAPK pathways represented key modalities of resistance. In parallel, we performed whole exome sequencing in paired pre-treatment and post-resistance biopsies from 60 patients with ER+ metastatic breast cancer who had developed resistance to ER-targeted therapy. The FGFR pathway was altered via FGFR1, FGFR2, or FGF3/FGF4 amplifications or FGFR2 mutations in 24 (40%) of the post-resistance biopsies. In 12 of the 24 post-resistance tumors exhibiting FGFR/FGF alterations, these alterations were not detected in the corresponding pre-treatment tumors, suggesting that they were acquired or enriched under the selective pressure of ER-directed therapy. In vitro experiments in ER+ breast cancer cells confirmed that FGFR/FGF alterations led to fulvestrant resistance as well as cross-resistance to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, through activation of the MAPK pathway. The resistance phenotypes were reversed by FGFR inhibitors and, to a lesser extent, MEK inhibitors, suggesting potential treatment strategies.

Drug-class specific gene-based MAPK sensitivity scores predict sensitivity to MAPK inhibitors in pediatric low-grade gliomas

Project description:Pediatric low-grade gliomas (pLGG) have shown heterogeneous responses to MAPK inhibitors (MAPKi) in clinical trials. A predictive feature for stratification is needed to identify patients likely to benefit from MAPKi therapy. MAPK-related genes differentially regulated between MAPKi sensitive and non-sensitive cell lines from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer dataset identified class-specific MAPKi sensitivity gene signatures used to calculate the MAPKi sensitivity score (MSS) via single sample gene set enrichment analysis. The MSS discerned gliomas with varying MAPK alterations from those without, and was higher in pLGG compared to other pediatric CNS tumors. As in clinical trials, the MSS was heterogeneous within pLGGs with a common MAPK alteration. A positive correlation between the MSS and the predicted immune infiltration determined by the ESTIMATE signature was observed. The MSS therefore represents a potential tool for the stratification of pLGG patients, worth of further investigation in upcoming clinical trials. Our data could support a role of microglia in the response to MAPKi, warranting further validation.

The phosphatase PTPRG controls FGFR1 activity and influences sensitivity to FGFR kinase inhibitors

Project description:Recently, FGFR1 has been found to be overexpressed in osteosarcoma and thus represents an important target for precision medicine. However, because targeted cancer therapy based on FGFR inhibitors has so far been less efficient than expected, a detailed understanding of the target is important. We have here applied proximity labelling of FGFR1 in an osteosarcoma cell line to identify determinants of FGFR1 activity. Many known FGFR interactors were identified (e.g. FRS2, PLC, RSK2, SHC4, SRC), but the data also suggested novel determinants. A strong hit in our screen was the tyrosine phosphatase PTPRG. We show that PTPRG and FGFR1 interact and colocalize at the plasma membrane where PTPRG directly dephosphorylates activated FGFR1. We further show that osteosarcoma cell lines depleted for PTPRG display increased FGFR activity and are hypersensitive to stimulation by FGF1. In addition, PTPRG depletion elevated cell growth and negatively affected the efficacy of FGFR kinase inhibitors. Thus, PTPRG may have future clinical relevance by being a predictor of outcome after FGFR inhibitor treatment.
