Tumor types can be defined cytologically by their regions of chromosomal amplification, which often results in the high expression of both mRNA and proteins of certain genes contained within the amplicon. An important strategy for defining therapeutically relevant targets in these situations is to ascertain which genes are amplified at the protein level and, concomitantly, are key drivers for tumor growth or maintenance. Furthermore, so-called passenger genes that are amplified with driver genes ...[more]

Project description:We applied DNA content flow cytometry to ten patient derived triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) xenografts (PDXs) from the Baylor College of Medicine (BCM). We interrogated purified sorted tumor fractions from each sample with whole genome copy number variant (CNV) analyses. These identified a variety of somatic genomic lesions that are common in TNBC including three cases with 9p24.1 amplification targeting PD-L1-PDL2 and JAK2 (PDJ amplicon) and recurring focal amplicons of oncogenic drivers found commonly in the TNBC PDXs including MYC and EGFR. In addition, homozygous deletions of known tumor suppressor genes including PTEN, CDKN2A, RB1, and BRCA2, and unique targets such as CUX1 and FYN were identified. Of the three PDJ-positive amplified PDXs, 2/3 two had focal MYC amplifications and 1/3 had a RB1 homozygous deletion.

Project description:Background: Previous array CGH analyses have revealed several recurring genomic alterations in urothelial carcinoma. The most common genomic amplifications occur at 6p22 and 1q21-24. The main target gene at 6p22 is believed to be E2F3. This gene is frequently co-amplified with CDKAL1 and SOX4 and there are reports on 6p22 amplifications that do not include the E2F3 locus. Previous array CGH analyses have indicated multiple possible target regions at 1q21-24. However, due to complex rearrangements it has been difficult to identify specific 1q21-24 target regions and target genes. Results: We show that the most commonly amplified gene at 6p22 is SOX4 and that SOX4 can be amplified and over expressed without E2F3 or CDKAL1 being included in the amplicon. Hence, our data point to SOX4 as an auxiliary amplification target at 6p22. We further show that at least three amplified regions are observed at 1q21-24. Copy number data, combined with gene expression data, highlighted BCL9 and CHD1L as possible targets in the most proximal region and MCL1, SETDB1, and HIF1B as targets in the middle region, whereas no obvious gene targets could be determined in the most distal amplicon. We also highlight the enrichment of G4 quadruplex sequence motifs and the high number of intraregional sequence duplications, both known to contribute to genomic instability, as prominent features of the 1q21-24 region. Conclusions: Our detailed analyses of the 6p22 amplicon in urothelial carcinomas suggest SOX4 as an auxiliary target gene for amplification. We further demonstrate three separate target regions for amplification at 1q21-24 and identified BCL9, CHD1L, MCL1, SETDB1, and HIF1B as likely target genes within these regions.

Project description:Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in American women. Patient care is complicated by inherent tumor heterogeneity that can be classified into at least six intrinsic subtypes. While targeted treatments are standard of care for most subtypes, there remains a clinical need for targeted therapies against basal-like tumors that are typically ‘triple negative breast cancers’. As such, the molecular mechanisms underlying basal-like tumors are under intense investigation to identify genetic drivers and possible drug targets of this subtype. Somatic p53 mutations are one of the most common genetic events in basal-like breast tumors. This genetic foundation primes cells to accumulate secondary genetic aberrations, a subset of which is predicted to promote tumorigenesis. To identify additional drivers of basal-like tumors, a comparative study between human and murine tumors was performed utilizing a p53null mammary transplant murine model. The p53null mammary transplant murine model produced a genomically diverse set of tumors, a subset of which we show resemble the human basal-like subtype. Microarray and sequencing technologies were used to interrogate the secondary genetic aberrations of these murine tumors which were then compared to human basal-like tumors to highlight conserved features. Of the ‘omic’ datasets analyzed, DNA copy number variation produced the largest number of conserved candidate driver genes. These candidate gene lists were further filtered using a DNA-RNA Pearson correlation cutoff of 0.5 and a requirement that the gene was deemed essential in at least one human basal-like cell line from a genome-wide RNA-mediated interference screen database. These steps highlighted seven potential driver genes that are at amplified loci in both murine and human basal-like tumors: Atp11a, Col4a2, Cul4a, Lamp1, Met, Pnpla6, and Tubgcp3. Inhibition of Met using Crizotinib caused Met amplified tumors to regress, confirming that this genetic event is a driver in a subset of p53null transplant mammary tumors. This study identifies MET as a driver of basal-like murine tumors, thus identifying a shared potential driver of human basal-like breast cancer. Our results also highlight the importance of comparative genomic studies for discovering drug targets and for providing models to study whether patient populations are likely to respond to selective targeted treatments.

Project description:15-25% of breast cancers (BC) show ERBB2-amplification and overexpression of the encoded ERBB2 tyrosine kinase receptor. They are associated with a poor prognosis but can benefit from targeted therapy. A better knowledge of these BCs may help understand their behavior and design new therapeutic strategies. In this study, we defined the high resolution genome and gene expression profiles of 54 ERBB2-amplified BCs using 244K oligonucleotide array-comparative genomic hybridization and whole-genome DNA microarrays. We first identified the ERBB2-C17orf37-GRB7 genomic segment as the minimal common amplicon, and CRKRS and IKZF3 as the most frequent centromeric and telomeric amplicon borders, respectively. Second, we identified 17 genome regions affected by copy number aberration (CNA). The expression of 37 genes of these regions was deregulated. Third, two types of heterogeneity were observed in ERBB2-amplified BCs. The genomic profiles of estrogen receptor-postive (ER+) and negative (ER-) ERBB2-amplified BCs were different. The WNT/ß-catenin signaling pathway was involved in ER- ERBB2-amplified BCs, and PVT1 and TRPS1 were candidate oncogenes associated with ER+ ERBB2-amplified BCs. The size of the ERBB2-amplicon was different in inflammatory (IBC) and non inflammatory BCs. ERBB2-amplified IBCs were characterized by the downregulated and upregulated mRNA expression of ten and two genes in proportion to CNA, respectively. We have shown that ERBB2 BCs are heterogeneous and identified genomic features that may be useful in the design of therapeutical strategies

Project description:Cancer is a genetic disease with frequent somatic alterations in DNA. Study of recurrent copy number aberrations (CNAs) in human cancers would enable the elucidation of disease mechanisms and the identification of key oncogenic drivers with causal roles in oncogenesis. We have comprehensively and systematically characterized CNAs and accompanied gene expression changes in the tumors and their matched non-tumor liver tissues from 286 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Our analysis identified 29 recurrently amplified regions and 22 deleted regions with a high level of copy number changes, harboring established oncogenes and tumor suppressors, including CCND1, MET, CDKN2A and CDKN2B, as well as many other genes not previously reported to be involved in liver carcinogenesis. Cis-acting genes in the amplification and deletion peaks were enriched in core cancer pathways, including cell cycle, p53, PI3K, MAPK, Wnt and TGFβ signaling in large proportions of HCCs. We further validated two candidate driver genes, BCL9 and MTDH, from the recurrent focal amplification peaks and showed that they play a significant role in HCC growth and survival. In summary, we have demonstrated that characterizing the CNA landscape in HCC will facilitate the understanding of disease mechanisms and the identification of oncogenic drivers that may serve as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of this devastating disease. Thirty hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines were genotyped using Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad BeadChip to estimate their copy number profiles relative to pooled Hapmap samples.

Project description:Survival of children with relapsed cancer remains unacceptably low. Cancer genomic profiling may identify new therapeutic options, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and improve understanding of tumors’ origins and continued evolution. We deeply sequenced 864 cancer-associated genes and the complete genomes and transcriptomes for 300 pediatric and adolescent/young adult (AYA) patients with poor prognosis or rare tumors. Using integrative somatic-germline analyses, we assessed the clinical utility of cancer genomics in this population. We analyzed tumor mutational signatures and burden to interrogate the relevance of germline variants in DNA repair genes and the impact of therapeutic exposures on tumor evolution. We also evaluated the frequency of changes to tumor drivers and therapeutic targets at relapse in those with serial samples. Integrative analysis yielded clinically actionable variants in a majority of patients. Improved diagnostic accuracy led to modified management in a subset. Therapeutically targetable variants were of unanticipated timing and type, with many of these derived from the germline. Enrichment in corroborating mutational signature 3 (‘BRCAness’) in patients with germline homologous recombination defects suggests they are drivers of pediatric cancers and potential targets for PARP inhibition. We show that mutation burden, which may in part be driven by prior therapeutic exposures, was significantly elevated in a minority of patients. Over one-third of patients with sequential samples analyzed showed a change in therapeutically-targetable drivers. Comprehensive somatic-germline cancer genomic profiling is useful at multiple points in the care trajectory for pediatric/AYA patients, supporting its integration into early clinical management. Re-biopsy at the time of relapse should be considered, and specific attention to mutational burden is indicated. Defective DNA repair genes in the germline may represent important targetable drivers.

Project description:Introduction: A major challenge in the interpretation of genomic profiling data generated from breast cancer samples is the identification of driver genes as distinct from bystander genes which do not impact tumorigenesis. One way to assess the relative importance of alterations in the transcriptome profile is to combine complementary analyses that assess changes in the copy number alterations (CNAs). This integrated analysis permits the identification of genes with altered expression that map within specific chromosomal regions that demonstrate copy number alterations, providing a mechanistic approach to identify the 'driver genes’. Methods: We have performed whole genome analysis of CNAs using the Affymetrix 250K Mapping array on 22 infiltrating ductal carcinoma samples (IDCs). Analysis of transcript expression alterations was performed using the Affymetrix U133 Plus2.0 array on 16 IDC samples. Twelve IDC samples were analyzed using both platforms and the data integrated. We also incorporated data from LOH analysis to identify genes showing loss of expression in LOH regions. Results: Copy number analysis results demarcated smaller boundaries for many previously reported CNAs, and in some cases, the CNAs were defined as more than a single contiguous event. Additionally, we were able to assign driver genes to these commonly reported regions using a rigorous methodology. For example, RAB25 showed a large increased expression in the tumors and mapped to the commonly reported amplification at 1q22. We also identified 5 genes in the 8q24 amplicon and TSEN4 in the 17q25 amplified region. LOH analysis confirmed some previously reported regions, and integration with copy number data determined that the detected LOH were copy neutral events. Finally, we have identified several RXR pathways that demonstrated down-regulation in IDC whose members may represent further targets of therapeutic intervention. Conclusion: We have demonstrated the utility of the application of integrated analysis using high-resolution CGH and whole genome transcript analysis for detecting driver genes in IDC. The high resolution platform allowed a refined demarcation of CNAs, and gene expression profiling provided a mechanism to detect genes directly impacted by the CNA. This is the first report of LOH in IDC using a high resolution platform. 22 IDC samples were analyzed for CNA and an overlapping 16 samples were analyzed for gene expression
