Project description:Meningiomas are mostly benign brain tumors, with a potential for becoming atypical or malignant. Based on comprehensive genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses of meningiomas, we compared benign tumors to atypical ones. We show that the vast majority of primary (de novo) atypical meningiomas display loss of NF2, which co-occurs either with genomic instability or recurrent mutations in SMARCB1. These tumors harbor increased H3K27me3 repressive signal and a hypermethylated phenotype, mainly occupying the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) binding sites in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), thereby phenocopying a more primitive cellular state. Consistent with this observation, and based on differential gene expression analysis as well as correlation of mRNA:miRNA regulatory networks, atypical meningiomas exhibit up-regulation of EZH2, the catalytic subunit of the PRC2 complex, well as the E2F2 and FOXM1 transcriptional networks that promote proliferation through activation of the cell cycle pathways. In addition, based on H3K27ac ChIP-seq analysis, we show atypical tumors to display an activated super-enhancer near the meningeal identity transcription factor ZIC1, leading to its transcriptional upregulation. Importantly, these primary atypical meningiomas do not harbor activating TERT promoter mutations, which have been reported in atypical tumors that progressed from benign ones. Our results establish the genomic landscape of primary atypical meningiomas, differentiating their profile from benign and progressed tumors and establishing novel therapeutic targets.

The H3k27ac ChIP-seq data for 15 benign meningiomas and 2 dura samples listed below were created by Dr. Justin Cotney in Dr. James Noonan’s lab at Yale and previously published in a paper by our group with Drs. Cotney and Noonan as co-authors (Clark et al. Science, 2013). Sample IDs: MN-297, MN-288, MN-292, MN-163, MN-1037, MN-105, MN-201, MN-249, MN-191, MN-1066, MN-169, MN-291, MN-24, MN-79, MN-1044, CONTROL1, CONTROL2. In this study, we used these benign meningioma H3k27ac ChIP-seq data as controls and compared them to the newly created ChIP-seq data. Sample IDs: MN-54, MN-97 and MN-171. This GEO entry contains ChIP-seq results for both data sets.

Project description:Purpose: In this study, we try to investigate the possible signaling pathways involved in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic and anaplastic meningiomas. We also attempt to investigate EGFL6 gene expression in brain arachnoidal tissues and various tumors and to measure EGFL6 levels in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Experimental Design: Differential gene expression profiles between meningiomas and brain arachnoidal tissues were established by using Affymetrix GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify potential gene pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the differentially expressed genes in the KEGG pathways. EGFL6 mRNA levels were also determined in brain arachnoidal tissues, meningiomas, and other tumors by qRT-PCR. EGFL6 levels were measured in serum samples from healthy people and patients with various tumors by using ELISA. Results: Fibroblastic meningioma exhibited upregulated PI3K/Akt and TGFβ signaling pathways, and accelerated G1/S progression cell cycle. KEGG analysis also demonstrated that focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways were activated in anaplastic meningioma. Benign meningiomas had significantly higher levels of EGFL6 mRNA than brain arachnoidal tissues and atypical and anaplastic meningiomas (P<0.001). EGFL6 gene was also highly expressed in ovarian cancer, but expressed lowly in all other investigated tumors. EGFL6 was hardly detectable in serum samples of healthy people. The mean serum EGFL6 concentration was 675, 118, and 126 pg/ml in patients with benign, atypical, and anaplastic meningiomas respectively. Patients with ovarian cancers also had high serum EGFL6 levels (mean concentration: 617 pg/ml). Patients with all other investigated tumors, however, had low levels of serum EGFL6 with mean concentration less than 240 pg/ml. Conclusion: We proposed that deregulation of cell cycle and PI3K/Akt pathways might play important roles in the tumorigenesis of fibroblastic meningioma. It was also suggested that the activated integrin-mediated signaling pathways were involved in the pathogenesis of anaplastic meningioma. We presented evidence that EGFL6 might serve as a novel serum biomarker for benign meningioma and ovarian cancer. It was also suggested that EGFL6 could help discriminate benignancy or malignancy of meningiomas before surgery or at early time points. Differential gene expression profiles between meningiomas and brain arachnoidal tissues were established by using Affymetrix GeneChip Human U133 Plus 2.0 Array. KEGG pathway analysis was performed to identify potential gene pathways that may be involved in the pathogenesis of meningiomas. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed to validate the differentially expressed genes in the KEGG pathways. EGFL6 mRNA levels were also determined in brain arachnoidal tissues, meningiomas, and other tumors by qRT-PCR.
