Project description:Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant neoplasm of smooth muscle and is an aggressive soft tissue tumor, have complex genetic abnormalities and could be defined as three molecular subtypes. Since that the molecular heterogeneity of LMS, the pathogenesis analysis per subtype will be highly necessary and helpful to understand the etiology of this more common sarcoma.

Project description:Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant neoplasm of smooth muscle and is an aggressive soft tissue tumor, have complex genetic abnormalities and could be defined as three molecular subtypes. Since that the molecular heterogeneity of LMS, the pathogenesis analysis per subtype will be highly necessary and helpful to understand the etiology of this more common sarcoma. Within this study, we collected four Myometrium, three Leiomyoma, three LMS cell lines and 99 LMSs (GSE45510), performed the system-wide gene expression profiling by 3'end RNA Sequencing, and found that there are significant different molecular pathways along the pathogenesis for those three molecular subtypes.

Project description:Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant neoplasm with smooth muscle differentiation. Little is known about its molecular heterogeneity and no targeted therapy currently exists for LMS. We demonstrate the existence of 3 molecular subtypes in a cohort of 99 cases and an independent cohort of 82 LMS. Two new FFPE tissue-compatible diagnostic immunohistochemical markers are identified: LMOD1 for subtype I LMS and ARL4C for subtype II LMS. Subtype I and subtype II LMS are associated with good and poor prognosis, respectively. The LMS subtypes show significant differences in expression levels for genes for which novel targeted therapies are being developed.

The LMS subtypes show significant differences in expression levels for genes for which novel targeted therapies are being developed. Gene expression profiling was performed by 3' End RNA Sequencing (3SEQ), a next generation sequencing approach that does not rely on frozen tissue but can be performed on archival FFPE tissue. Samples included 99 LMS, 6 Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcomas (UPS), 3 leiomyomas, 4 normal myometrium samples, and 1 case of Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). This study only includes the 99 LMS Samples. After gene expression levels were quantified by 3SEQ analysis pipeline, Consensus Clustering with bootstrap method was used to determine that the dataset contained three robust subtypes, and Silhouette analysis was performed to validate the subtype assignments. Two class SAM analysis (Significance Analysis of Microarrays) was performed to identify genes expressed differentially between each subtype of LMS with FDR of 0.05. Immunohistochemical staining was used to validate the potential diagnostic and prognostic markers from 3SEQ data on a tissue microarray.

Project description:Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a mesenchymal neoplasm with complex copy number alterations and characteristic loss of tumor suppressor genes without known recurrent activating mutations. Clinical management of advanced LMS relies on chemotherapy and complementary palliative approaches, and research efforts to date have had limited success identifying clinically actionable biomarkers or targeted therapeutic vulnerabilities. To explore the biological underpinning of LMS, we evaluated gene expression patterns of this disease in comparison to diverse sarcomas, non-mesenchymal neoplasms and normal myogenic tissues. We identified a recurrent gene expression program in LMS, with evidence of oncogenic evolution of an underlying smooth muscle lineage-derived program characterized by activation of E2F1 and downstream effectors. Recurrently amplified or highly expressed genes in LMS were identified that may represent therapeutic vulnerabilities, including targeting of IGF1R and retinoid signaling pathways. Though the majority of expressed transcripts were conserved across LMS samples, three separate subtypes were identified that were enriched for muscle-associated transcripts (conventional-LMS), immune markers (inflammatory-LMS) or a uterine-like gene expression program (uterogenic-LMS). Each of these subtypes express a unique subset of genes that may be useful in the managemeny of LMS: IGF1R was enriched in conventional LMS with prognostic implications, worse disease-specific survival was observed in inflammatory LMS, and prolactin was elaborated by uterogenic LMS and may represent a disease biomarker. These results extend our understanding of LMS biology and identify several strategies and challenges for further translational investigation.

Project description:Background: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), used to be called malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), is a malignant soft tissue tumor of uncertain origin, and is characterized by morphology. UPS often share similar morphological characters with other sarcomas, especially Leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is another malignant soft tissue sarcoma with complex genomic abnormalities, origin from smooth muscle. As a result, development of gene signature and/or biomarkers distinguishing UPS and LMS will definitely help the pathologist to precisely diagnose those patients. However, in the past, UPS was reported to be indistinguishable with LMS by genomic profiles. Methods and Results: In this study, 3’ end RNA Sequencing (3SEQ) was used to expression profile 6 UPS and 99 LMS cases. Overall, UPS was undistinguished with LMS by 3SEQ data, however, when we stratified LMS into three subtypes, UPS was shown to share similar expression pattern with Subtype II LMS, but had distinct molecular expression patterns with Subtype I and Subtype III LMS. Additional Immunohistochemistry staining by using LMS Subtype I and Subtype II markers validated that UPSs were positive for Subtype II marker ARL4C, but negative for Subtype I marker LMOD1. Furthermore, CD4 was shown to be significantly more highly expressed in UPS than LMS in both mRNA and protein levels. Conclusion: This study first reported that UPS shared similar gene expression pattern with subtype II LMS and UPS recapitulated the expression profiles of subtype II LMS. In this study, 3’ end RNA Sequencing (3SEQ) was used to expression profile 6 UPS and 99 LMS cases. In order to explore the molecular differences between UPS and LMS, We analyzed the expression data by SAMseq to identify the genes which were significantly differently expressed between UPS and LMS, between UPS and each LMS subtype.

Project description:Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a mesenchymal neoplasm with complex copy number alterations and characteristic loss of tumor suppressor genes without known recurrent activating oncogenic mutations. Clinical management of advanced LMS relies on cytotoxic chemotherapy and complementary palliative approaches, and research efforts to date have had limited success identifying clinically actionable biomarkers or targeted therapeutic vulnerabilities. To explore the distinctive biological underpinning of LMS, we evaluated gene expression patterns of LMS cell lines and correlated results with primary tumor samples.

Project description:Soft tissue sarcoma diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC-arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extremity soft tissue UPS with the aim to identify molecular subtype signatures and genomic prognostic markers. Both the gains/losses and gene expression signatures revealed striking similarities between UPS and LMS, which were indistinguishable using unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis and significance analysis for microarrays. Gene expression analysis revealed just 9 genes, among them Tropomyosin beta, that were differentially expressed. Loss of 4q31 (encompassing the SMAD1 locus), loss of 18q22 and tumor necrosis were identified as independent predictors of metastasis in multivariate stepwise Cox regression analysis. Combined analysis applying loss of 4q31 and 18q22 and presence of necrosis improved the area under receiver operating characteristic curve for metastasis prediction from 0.64 to 0.86. The extensive genetic similarities between extremity soft tissue UPS and LMS suggest a shared lineage of these STS subtypes and the new and independent genetic prognosticators identified hold promise for refined prognostic determination in high-grade, genetically complex STS.
