MiRNA expression profiles of pediatric medulloblastoma

ABSTRACT: The main cause of death in medulloblastoma is recurrence associated with leptomeningeal dissemination. Although the molecular basis of medulloblastoma has received considerable attention over the past decade, the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the acquisition of metastatic phenotype remains poorly understood. This study aimed to identify miRNA involved in leptomeningeal dissemination and to elucidate its target mechanisms. We analyzed miRNA expression profiles of 29 medulloblastomas according to the presence of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) seeding. The differential expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) were validated on 29 medulloblastoma tissues and three medulloblastoma cells. The biological function of the selected miRNA was evaluated using in vitro studies. A total of 12 DEmiRNAs were identified including miRNA-192 in medulloblastoma with seeding. The reduced expression of miRNA-192 was confirmed in tumor seeding group and the medulloblastoma cells. Overexpression of miRNA-192 inhibited cellular proliferation targeting dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR). MiRNA-192 decreased cellular anchoring via repression of integrin subunits (αV, β1, and β3) and CD47. Medulloblastoma with seeding showed specific DEmiRNAs compared with those without seeding. MicroRNA-192 suppresses leptomeningeal dissemination of medulloblastoma through modulating cell proliferation and anchoring ability.

MYCN Drives Disparate Medulloblastoma from Human Embryonic and iPSC-Derived Stem Cells [array]

Project description:How tumors develop or respond to therapies vary significantly among species. Here we report that medulloblastoma (MB) the most frequent malignant childhood brain tumor can develop from human hindbrain neuro-epithelial stem (hbNES) cells or induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NES (NES) cells via MYCN overexpression in mice. NES tumors developed fast with leptomeningeal dissemination, while hbNES tumors formed significantly later with no dissemination. By using large cohorts of MB patients we show that tumors resemble a common subgroup of Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) MBs and that pluripotency and mTOR signaling correlate with poor prognosis. To conclude, both iPSC-derived and embryonic NES cells can be transformed into distinct humanized MB models valuable for identifying better diagnostic markers and drug targets.

The role of ABL kinases in medulloblastoma

Project description:Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric brain tumor, and leptomeningeal dissemination (LMD) of medulloblastoma portends a poorer prognosis at diagnosis and is incurable at recurrence. The biological mechanisms underlying LMD in medulloblastoma are largely unclear. The Abelson (ABL) family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases has been implicated in cancer cell migration, invasion, adhesion, and chemotherapy resistance, and these kinases are upstream mediators of the oncogene c-MYC in fibroblasts. However, their role in medulloblastoma has not yet been explored. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to elucidate the role of the ABL kinases, ABL1 and ABL2, in medulloblastoma LMD. We show here that ABL1/2 mRNA is highly expressed in human medulloblastoma tumor samples and cell lines and that pharmacologic inhibition of ABL kinases results in medulloblastoma cell death. Knockdown of the ABL kinase genes ABL1 and ABL2 results in decreased adhesion to the extracellular matrix protein, vitronectin, and decreased medulloblastoma proliferation in a mouse model of medulloblastoma LMD (resulting in decreased tumor burden with subsequent increased overall survival. Further, both pharmacologic inhibition of ABL1/2 and ABL1/2 knockdown resulted in decreased c-myc expression, revealing a putative signaling pathway. In summary, this work highlights the potential role of ABL kinases in medulloblastoma LMD via c-myc expression.

Effect of knockdown of Musashi-1 in Group 3/4 medulloblastomas cells

Project description:Groups (Grp) 3 and 4 are aggressive molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma (MB), with high rates of leptomeningeal dissemination. To date, there is still a paucity of biomarkers for these subtypes of MBs. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance and biological functions of MSI1 in Grp3/Grp4-MBs. To that, we identified that the MSI1 knockdown sensitized D283 Med cells to cisplatin treatment by enhancing cell apoptosis and modulated cancer-related pathways. The results of the present demonstrate that MSI1 may play a role as biomarker for Grp3/Grp4-MBs. In addition, MSI1 knockdown combined with cisplatin may offer a potential strategy to be further explored in Grp3/Grp4-MBs.

Whole-blood MicroRNA Sequence Profiling for Adolescents with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome

Project description:Objective To establish whether whole-blood MicroRNA (miRNA) profiles differ between postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) sufferers and control subjects, and to identify the miRNA that regulate plasma H2S. Study design: High-throughput sequencing was used to obtain whole-blood miRNA expression profiles for five POTS sufferers and five normal children. miRNAs with an adjusted P-value of <0.05 (by DESeq) and with a log2 fold change ≥3 were considered to be differentially expressed (DEmiRNAs). The target genes of the DEmiRNAs were identified using RNAhybrid and miRanda, and only those identified by both were considered. The combined effects of the DEmiRNAs were determined using KEGG pathway analysis. Another 40 POTS and 20 normal patients were used as validation subjects. Plasma H2S was determined with a sulfide electrode, and flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) was performed with a color Doppler ultrasound system. miRNAs were analyzed using QRT-PCR. Results: Thirteen DEmiRNAs were identified. When P values of 0.01 and 0.05 were used, 198 and 481 genes, respectively, were shown to be targeted by the 13 DEmiRNAs. DEmiRNAs were significantly enriched in 36 pathways (P <.05), in which PI3K/Akt signaling was closely related to vascular function. In the validation subjects, the plasma H2S and FMD was higher in the POTS sufferers, as was the expression level of whole-blood miR-21 (P <.05), which identified POTS patients with a sensitivity of 92.5% and a specificity of 100%. Conclusion: Elevated whole-blood miR-21 levels serve as an indicator for POTS and may explain the increased plasma H2S observed in POTS sufferers.

Central nervous system involvement of acute lymphoblastic leukemia depends on mRNA translation and complement component 3

Project description:Central nervous system (CNS) dissemination of B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has a poor prognosis and remains a therapeutic challenge with few recent advances in therapy. Leptomeningeal disease is particularly common in the high risk subgroup of KMT2A-rearranged B-ALL (KMT2A-r B-ALL). Here we performed transcriptional and proteomic profiling of leukemia cells from bone marrow (BM) and CNS-disseminated disease in KMT2A-r B-ALL xenografts. CNS disease exhibited stemness traits and metabolic reprogramming previously associated with chemotherapy resistance. Genes governing mRNA translation were upregulated in CNS samples, a finding confirmed in cohorts of KMT2A-r B-ALL patients with CNS involvement. This upregulation was functionally important for CNS disease as the mRNA translational inhibitor omacetaxine mepesuccinate (OMA) significantly reduced leptomeningeal disease burden in xenografts. Proteomic analysis demonstrated greater abundance of secreted proteins in CNS infiltrating cells including complement component 3 (C3), a known driver of leptomeningeal metastasis in solid tumours, pointing to a convergent mechanism for this route of metastasis in multiple cancers. Pharmacological inhibition of C3a signaling suppressed CNS dissemination, whereas C3a receptor activation increased CNS disease. Overall, our study identifies mRNA translation and a set of secreted proteins as key mediators of CNS dissemination in KMT2A-r B-ALL. Therapeutic targeting of these dependencies represents a novel approach to prevent or treat leptomeningeal disease.
