Project description:Integrated profiling of somatic molecular alterations present in tumors is necessary to further our understanding of the tumorigenic process. We investigated the potential relationships between gene copy number alterations and DNA methylation profiles in a case series of pleural mesotheliomas (n=23). Gene copy number (CN) alterations profiled with 500K SNP arrays and DNA methylation measured at over 750 cancer-related genes with methylation bead-arrays were examined concomitantly. Considering each probed locus, there were no instances of significantly correlated CN alteration and methylation (no loci with Q < 0.05) and averaging loci over their associated genes revealed only two genes with significantly correlated CN and methylation alterations (Q < 0.04). In contrast to the lack of discrete correlations, the overall extent of tumor CN alteration was significantly associated with DNA methylation profile when comparing CN alteration extent among methylation profile classes (P < 0.02), and there was evidence that this association was partially attributable to prevalent allele loss observed at the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1. Taken together, this work indicates a strong association between global genetic and global epigenetic dysregulation in mesothelioma rather than a discrete, local coordination of gene inactivation, and further highlights the utility and necessity of integrative genomics approaches in cancer biology.

Project description:More than half of malignant mesothelioma patients show alterations in the BAP1 tumour suppressor gene. Being a member of the Polycomb repressive deubiquitinating (PR-DUB) complex, BAP1 loss results in an altered epigenome which may create new vulnerabilities that remain largely unknown. Here we performed a CRISPR/Cas9-kinome screen in mesothelioma cells that identified two kinases in the Mevalonate/Cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. Furthermore, our analysis of chromatin, expression and genetic perturbation data in mesothelioma cells suggests a dependency on Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) mediated silencing. Pharmacological inhibition of PRC2 elevates the expression of cholesterol biosynthesis genes only in BAP1-deficient mesothelioma, thereby sensitizing these cells to the combined targeting of PRC2 and the mevalonate pathway. Finally, by subjecting autochthonous Bap1-deficient mesothelioma mice or xenografts to mevalonate pathway inhibition (Zoledronic Acid) and PRC2 inhibition (Tazemetostat), we demonstrate a potent anti-tumour effect, suggesting a targeted combination therapy for Bap1-deficient mesothelioma

From the total study population, 23 tumors from the incident case series were chosen for copy number alteration profiling by hybridizing 5ml containing ⥠50ng/ml of tumor or matched peripheral blood DNA to each of the two GeneChips® that comprise the Human Mapping 500K single-nucleotide polymorphism array set (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), following manufacturer protocols and standard operating procedures at the Harvard Partners Microarray Core servicing facility. Probe intensities at each locus were determined in the GCOS software and genotypes calls were generated using the Genotyping Analysis Software (Affymetrix). Probe signals were normalized to their matched referent peripheral blood sample data using the Copy Number Analysis Tool v4.0.1 software (CNAT) (Affymetrix) with median scaling and default tuning parameters, and copy number states were inferred by Hidden Markov Model analysis. The supplementary file 'GSE21057_tumor_copy_number.txt' contains the (blood-normalized) copy number calls for each tumor sample.

Project description:Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma (PeM) is a rare but frequently fatal cancer that originates from the peritoneal lining of the abdomen. Standard treatment of PeM is limited to cytoreductive surgery and/or chemotherapy, and no targeted therapies for PeM yet exist. This study performs comprehensive integrative analysis of genome, transcriptome, and proteome of treatment-naïve PeM tumors with the aim of identifying mesothelioma-related molecular alterations and potentially identifying novel treatment strategies.

Project description:Intraperitoneal administration of crocidolite or chrysotile is an established method to induce peritoneal malignant mesothelioma(MM), which shares common genetic alterations to those in humans. We conducted high-resolution microarray comparative genomic hybridization mesothelioma tissues obtained from both wild-type and BRCA1+/- rats to evaluate the involvement of BRCA1 haploinsufficiency in carcinogenesis.

Mesotheliomas were obtained following surgical resection at Brigham and Women’s Hospital through the International Mesothelioma Program from a pilot study conducted in 2002 and an incident case series beginning in 2005 as previously described (PMIDs: 19118007 and 19638575). All patients provided informed consent under the approval of the appropriate Institutional Review Boards. Clinical information, including histologic diagnosis was obtained from pathology reports. The study pathologist confirmed the histologic diagnoses and further assessed the percent tumor from resected specimens (mean >60%). DNA extraction and methylation analysis: DNA from fresh frozen tissue and matched whole blood was isolated with QIAamp DNA mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Tumor DNA was modified with sodium bisulfite using the EZ DNA Methylation Kit (Zymo Research, Orange, CA). Illumina GoldenGate® methylation bead arrays interrogated 1505 CpG loci associated with 803 cancer-related genes processed at the UCSF Institute for Human Genetics, Genomics Core Facility using methods described in (28). The GoldenGate methylation data used in the analysis has been previously described (PMIDs: 19118007 and 19638575).
