Project description:TH-MYCN transgenic (Tg) mice are the model for neuroblastoma. One of the sympathetic ganglia is the origin of neuroblastoma in those mice. The tumor incidences of homozygotes and hemizygotes are 100% and 70-80%, respectively. The involvement of midkine (Mdk), a tumor-related growth factor, was also examined by knockout mice. Ganglia and tumor tissues were dissected from several genotypes of mice (MYCN Tg homozygote and hemizygote, knockout (KO) of Mdk gene). In some of cases, we cultured neurosphere and tumorsphere. The mRNA extracted from those samples were subjected to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is an embryonic tumor arising from immature sympathetic nervous system progenitor cells. MYCN and ALK are driver oncogenes both of which are specifically expressed during early neurogenesis. This is in line with the assumption that neuroblastoma arises through disruption of normal developmental processes. MYCN has a broad impact on the tumor phenotype; however, the details of the MYCN driven oncogenic program are far from clear. In order to gain further insight into the role of gene expression during neuroblastoma initiation and progression, we evaluated gene expression profiles of hyperplastic ganglia and tumors isolated from MYCN transgenic mice.

Project description:It has been already reported that there are undifferentiated/proliferating neuroblasts in the postnatal sympathetic ganglia in TH-MYCN mice, a neuroblastoma model. We established suitable spheroid culture condition that selectively isolates undifferentiated neuroblasts from superior mesenteric ganligon (SMG) of TH-MYCN mice. In order to investigate the chromosomal alterations (gains or losses) of spheres derived from TH-MYCN mice, we carried out array comparative genomic hybridization. We investigated whether chromosomal alterations occured during early neuroblastoma tumorigenesis in TH-MYCN mice.

Project description:It has been already reported that there are undifferentiated/proliferating neuroblasts in the postnatal sympathetic ganglia in TH-MYCN mice. Given the fact that neuroblastoma is derived from sympathoadrenal progenitors which are originated from neural crest stem cells, we attempted to use the well-established culture condition that has been utilized to maintain derivatives of neural crest stem cells. However, the medium contained retinoic acid (RA) which is known to induce neuroblastoma differentiation and is used in clinical treatment against high-risk patients. In the present study, the medium with RA (RA (+) medium) and without RA (RA (-) medium) were compared. Since undifferentiated neuroblasts are observable at one of the sympathetic ganglia, superior mesenteric ganglion (SMG), in 3-week-old TH-MYCN hemizygote (TH-MYCN+/-) mice with 129+Ter/SvJcl mice background, we dissected and dissociated the SMG to prepare single cells. These cells were cultured in either RA (+) or RA (-) media. Spheres formed in either RA (+) or RA (-) medium were subjected to microarray analysis.

We established suitable spheroid culture condition that selectively isolates undifferentiated neuroblasts from superior mesenteric ganligon (SMG) of TH-MYCN mice. In the present study, in order to investigate the transcriptomic differences between embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5) WT derived primary spheres and E13.5 TH-MYCN derived passageable spheres, we carried out microarray gene expression analysis. We investigated critical molecular events in MYCN-transformed neuroblastoma cells in TH-MYCN mice.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric cancer of the sympathetic nervous system. MYCN amplification is a key indicator of poor prognosis for the disease, however, mechanisms by which MYCN promotes neuroblastoma tumorigenesis are not fully understood. In this study, we analyzed global miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of tissues at different stages of tumorigenesis from TH-MYCN transgenic mice, a model of MYCN-driven neuroblastoma. Based on a Bayesian learning network model in which we compared pre-tumor ganglia from TH-MYCN+/+ mice to age-matched wild-type controls, we devised a predicted miRNA-mRNA interaction network. Among the miRNA-mRNA interactions operating during human neuroblastoma tumorigenesis, we identified that miR-204 is a tumor suppressor miRNA that inhibits a subnetwork of oncogenes strongly associated with MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma and poor patient outcome. Accordingly, we found that MYCN was bound to the miR-204 promoter and repressed miR-204 transcription, while in contrast, miR-204 directly bound MYCN mRNA and repressed MYCN expression. In support of a tumor suppressor role, miR-204 overexpression significantly inhibited neuroblastoma cell proliferation in vitro and tumorigenesis in vivo. Together these findings identify novel tumorigenic miRNA gene networks and miR-204 as a tumor suppressor that regulates MYCN expression in neuroblastoma tumorigenesis.

We investigated whether or not undifferentiated cells observed in TH-MYCN SMG were selectively isolated and maintaned as spheres.

Project description:Neuroblastoma susceptibility in TH-MYN mice is heavily influence by mouse strain background. We have combined linkage analysis of tumor susceptibility with expression QTL analysis of superior cervical ganglia (pure peripheral symptathetic nervous tissue) to identify genes underlying tumor formation The development of targeted therapeutics for neuroblastoma, the third most common tumor in children, has been limited by a poor understanding of growth signaling mechanisms unique to the peripheral nerve precursors from which tumors arise. In this study, we combined genetics with gene expression analysis in the peripheral sympathetic nervous system to implicate arginase 1 and GABA signaling in tumor formation in vivo. In human neuroblastoma cells, activation of GABA-A receptors by a benzodiazepine induced apoptosis and inhibited mitogenic signaling through AKT and MAPK. These results suggest that GABA influences both neural development and neuroblastoma, and that benzodiazepines in clinical use may have potential for neuroblastoma therapy. 224 backcrossed mice were genotyped at 349 markers to identify susceptibility loci for neuroblastoma. Gene expression from Superior Cervical Ganglia from 116 of these mice were correlated with genotyping data to identify putative eQTL.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor of the sympathetic nervous system. MYCN (V-myc myelocytomatosis viral-related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived [avian]) is amplified in 20% of neuroblastomas, and these tumors carry a poor prognosis. However, tumors without MYCN amplification also may have a poor outcome. Here, we identified downstream targets of MYCN by shRNA-mediated silencing MYCN in neuroblastoma cells. From these targets, 157 genes showed an expression profile correlating with MYCN mRNA levels in NB88, a series of 88 neuroblastoma tumors, and therefore represent in vivo relevant MYCN pathway genes. This 157-gene signature identified very poor prognosis tumors in NB88 and independent neuroblastoma cohorts and was more powerful than MYCN amplification or MYCN expression alone. Remarkably, this signature also identified poor outcome of a group of tumors without MYCN amplification. Most of these tumors have low MYCN mRNA levels but high nuclear MYCN protein levels, suggesting stabilization of MYCN at the protein level. One tumor has an MYC amplification and high MYC expression. Chip-on-chip analyses showed that most genes in this signature are directly regulated by MYCN. MYCN induces genes functioning in cell cycle and DNA repair while repressing neuronal differentiation genes. The functional MYCN-157 signature recognizes classical neuroblastoma with MYCN amplification, as well as a newly identified group marked by MYCN protein stabilization.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonic tumor arising from immature sympathetic nervous system progenitor cells. MYCN and ALK are driver oncogenes both of which are specifically expressed during early neurogenesis. This is in line with the assumption that NB arises through disruption of normal developmental processes. MYCN has a broad impact on the tumor phenotype; however, the details of the MYCN driven oncogenic program are far from clear. In recent studies we demonstrated that MYCN drives the expression of a defined set of miRNAs that tightly control the expression of several key MYCN target genes, including several components of the TGFβ signaling pathway. In order to gain further insight into the role of miRNAs in NB initiation and progression, we evaluated miRNA profiles of hyperplastic ganglia and tumors isolated from MYCN transgenic mice.
