Project description:Human WHO grade I sporadic meningiomas: Mutational profiles
| PRJEB43143 | ENA
Project description:Meningiomas are frequent central nervous system tumors. Although most meningiomas are benign (WHO grade I) and curable by surgery, WHO grade II and III tumors remain therapeutically challenging due to frequent recurrence. Interestingly, relapse also occurs in some WHO grade I meningiomas. Hence, we investigated the transcriptional features defining aggressive (recurrent, malignantly progressing or WHO grade III) meningiomas in 144 cases. Meningiomas were categorized into non-recurrent (NR), recurrent (R), and tumors undergoing malignant progression (M) in addition to their WHO grade. Unsupervised transcriptomic analysis in 62 meningiomas revealed transcriptional profiles lining up according to WHO grade and clinical subgroup. Notably aggressive subgroups (R+M tumors and WHO grade III) shared a large set of differentially expressed genes (n=332; p<0.01, FC>1.25). In an independent multicenter validation set (n=82), differential expression of 10 genes between WHO grades was confirmed. Additionally, among WHO grade I tumors differential expression between NR and aggressive R+M tumors was af rmed for PTTG1, AURKB, ECT2, UBE2C and PRC1, while MN1 and LEPR discriminated between NR and R+M WHO grade II tumors. Univariate survival analysis revealed a significant association with progression-free survival for PTTG1, LEPR, MN1, ECT2, PRC1, COX10, UBE2C expression, while multivariate analysis identified a prediction for PTTG1 and LEPR mRNA expression independent of gender, WHO grade and extent of resection. Finally, stainings of PTTG1 and LEPR confirmed malignancy-associated protein expression changes. In conclusion, based on the so far largest study sample of WHO grade III and recurrent meningiomas we report a comprehensive transcriptional landscape and two prognostic markers.

Project description:Experiment a) Establishment of expression profiles in conventional papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) with a BRAF mutation vs. PTCs without a BRAF mutation and using normal thyroid (TN) specimens as reference. Experiment b) Establishment of expression profiles in follicular adenomas (FAs) of the thyroid and follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinomas (FVPTCs). We extracted DNA from specimens and performed mutational analysis in malignant lesions and extracted RNA that was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumor. Though typically benign with a low mutational burden, histopathologic analysis has poor predictive value for malignant behavior and there are no proven chemotherapies. Although DNA methylation patterns distinguish subgroups of meningiomas and have higher predictive value for tumor behavior than histologic classification, little is known about differences in DNA methylation between meningiomas and surrounding normal dura tissue. Using multimodal studies of meningioma/dura pairs, we identified 4 distinct DNA methylation patterns. Diffuse DNA hypomethylation of malignant meningiomas readily facilitated their identification from lower grade tumors by unsupervised clustering. All clusters and 12/12 meningioma-dura pairs exhibited hypomethylation of the gene promoters of a module associated with the craniofacial patterning transcription factor FOXC1 and its upstream lncRNA FOXCUT. Furthermore, we identified an epigenetic continuum of increasing hypermethylation of polycomb repressive complex target promoters with increased histopathologic grade suggesting progressive epigenetic dysregulation is associated with increasing tumor aggressiveness. These findings are a starting point for future investigations of the role of epigenetic dysregulation of FOXC1 and cranial patterning genes in early stages of meningioma formation as well as studies of the utility of polycomb inhibitors for treatment of aggressive meningiomas.

Project description:Meningiomas represent one of the most common and clinically heterogeneous brain tumor types that only modestly correlate with histopathologic features. While emerging molecular profiling efforts have linked specific genomic drivers to distinct clinical patterns, the proteomic landscape of meningiomas remains largely unexplored. We utilize mass spectrometry to profile a clinically well-annotated cohort (n=69) of meningiomas stratified to span all three World Health Organization (WHO) grades and various degrees of clinical aggressiveness. In total, we quantify 3042 unique proteins and compare the patterns across different clinical parameters. Unsupervised clustering analysis highlighted distinct proteomic (n=106 proteins, Welch’s t-test, P<0.01) and pathway-level (e.g. Notch and PI3K/AKT/mTOR) differences between convexity and skull base meningiomas. Supervised comparative analyses of different pathological grades revealed distinct patterns between benign (WHO Grade I) and atypical/malignant (WHO Grade II and III) meningiomas with classic oncogenes often enriched in higher grade lesions. Independent of WHO grade, clinically aggressive meningiomas, that rapidly recurred, also had distinctive protein patterns that converged on mRNA processing and impaired activation of the extracellular matrix naba matrisome complex. Larger sized meningiomas, and those with previous radiation exposure, also had distinct protein profiles. Collectively, we highlight distinct clinically-dependent proteomic patterns of meningiomas that may help better predict outcome and guide the development of more personalized and directed therapies.

Project description:Correlate the gene expression profiles with the most relevant patterns of chromosome abnormalities (cytogenetic subgroups of meningiomas) and the gene expression profiles could help to explain the differences in clinical behaviour of meningiomas. The impact of tumor cytogenetics on the gene expression analyzed in meningiomas. Here, we analyzed the gene expression profiles (GEP) of 47 tumors and correlated them with the most clinical relevant cytogenetic subgroups of meningiomas, including diploid tumors, isolated -22/22q-, del(1p36) alone and complex karyotypes associated with del(1p36) and/or -14q. In addition, 4 samples containing purified RNA extracted from normal meningeal cells (BioChain Institute, Hayward, CA and US Biological, Swampscott, MA, USA) were also processed.

Project description:Meningiomas, named for their cell of origin, are the most common intracranial tumors in adults, representing 39% of all primary adult central nervous system tumors. These tumors originate in the meninges, which are the outer three layers of tissue between the skull and the brain that cover and protect the brain just under the skull. Most meningioma tumors (85-90 percent) are categorized as benign, with the remaining 10-15 percent being atypical meningioma or malignant meningioma (cancerous). The word “benign” can be misleading for meningiomas. Depending on location and growth rate, a benign meningioma brain tumor may impinge on vital nerves or compress the brain, causing disability. They may even become life threatening. We describe transcriptional signatures of four most common groups of benign meningiomas. Each subgroup of meningiomas displayed a unique gene expression program identifying signaling pathways potentially implicated in the tumorigenesis. These findings will improve our understanding of meningioma tumorigenesis. Objective: To define gene expression signatures of the most common subtypes of meningiomas to better understand cellular processes and signaling pathways specific for each tumor genotype.
