Project description:Introduction: Mucinous tumors are the second most common form of epithelial ovarian tumor, yet the cell of origin for this histological sub-type remains undetermined. While these tumors are thought to arise through a stepwise progression from benign cystadenoma to borderline tumor to invasive carcinoma, few studies have attempted to comprehensively characterize the genetic changes specific to this subtype or its precursors. Methods: To explore the spectrum of genomic alterations common to mucinous tumors we performed high resolution genome-wide copy number analysis, mutation screening by Sanger sequencing and immunohistochemistry on a series of primary ovarian mucinous cystadenomas (n=20) and borderline tumors (n=22). Results: Integration of copy number data, targeted mutation screening of RAS/RAF pathway members and immunohistochemistry reveals that p16 loss and RAS/RAF pathway alterations are highly recurrent events that occur early during mucinous tumor development. The frequency of concurrence of these events was observed in 40% of benign cystadenomas and 68% of borderline tumors. Conclusions: This study is the largest and highest resolution analysis of mucinous benign and borderline tumors performed to date and provides strong support for these lesions being precursors of primary ovarian mucinous adenocarcinoma. The high level of uniformity in the molecular events underlying the pathogenesis of mucinous ovarian tumors provides an opportunity for treatments targeting specific mutations and pathways. Copy number data was generated for 42 mucinous ovarian tumours (20 benign, 22 borderline). Epithelial and stromal DNA from the tumours and matched-normal lymphocyte DNA were all analysed. Processed/normalized data for the germline DNA samples are not provided because they themselves are normalised to a diploid copy number, making all the probe values 2, which is not informative.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is characterized by multiple structural aberrations; most are passenger alterations which do not confer tumor growth. Like many cancers, it is a heterogeneous disease and till date, the histotype-specific copy number landscape has been difficult to elucidate. To dissect the heterogeneity of ovarian cancer and understand the pathogenesis of its various histotypes, we developed an in silico hypothesis-driven workflow to identify histotype-specific copy number aberrations across multiple datasets of epithelial ovarian cancer. In concordance with previous studies on global copy number changes, our study showed similar alterations. However, when the landscape was de-convoluted into histotypes, distinct alterations were observed. We report here a comprehensive histotype-specific copy number landscape of ovarian cancer and showed that there is genomic diversity between the histotypes; some involving well known cancer genes and some novel potential driver genes. Besides preferential occurrence of alterations in some histotypes, opposite trends of alteration were observed; such as ERBB2 amplification in mucinous but deletion in serous tumors. The landscape highlights the need for identifying histotype-specific aberrations in ovarian cancer and present potential to tailor management of ovarian cancer based on molecular signature of histotypes. 56 samples containing the 4 histotypes were used for this study. It contained 12 clear cell carcinoma, 6 endometrioid adenocarcinoma, 2 mucinous adenocarcinoma, 5 mucinous-borderline tumors, 26 serous adenocarcinoma, and 5 serous-borderline tumors. Data was pre-processed and normalized with Hapmap JPT using the Affymetric Genotyping Console.

Project description:Mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCN) remain a major riddle in hepato-pancreato-biliary pathology. These cystic tumors are defined by their mucinous epithelium and ovarian-like stroma, with an estimated 10% risk of progression to invasive carcinoma. The origin of the ovarian stroma remains a subject of debate. In this study, we conducted immunohistochemical profiling, targeted DNA sequencing, and genome-wide DNA methylation analysis on a cohort of 15 pancreatic MCNs (MCN-P) and 6 hepatic MCNs (MCN-L). Unsupervised analysis of DNA methylation profiles of pancreatic neoplasms (11 entities and normal pancreatic tissue from 224 unique samples) revealed that MCN-P predominantly forms a distinct group. In the DNA methylation landscape of liver tumors, encompassing 5 tumor types and normal bile duct tissue from 136 unique samples, MCN-L demonstrated a specific methylation profile when compared to all other entities. Furthermore, within the DNA methylation landscape of ovarian tumors—featuring 5 tumor types, normal fallopian tube, and normal ovarian tissue from 90 unique samples—we found that both MCN-P and MCN-L grouped with mucinous ovarian carcinoma and mucinous borderline ovarian tumors. Notably, low-grade MCNs exhibited greater DNA methylation similarities to mucinous borderline ovarian tumors, while high-grade or invasive MCNs were primarily associated with mucinous ovarian carcinomas. When analyzing all samples together (19 tumor types and 4 normal tissue types, n = 430), MCNs similarly grouped with mucinous ovarian tumors and normal ovarian tissue. Additionally, in anetwork analysis of differentially methylated probes indicated that MCN-P and MCN-L share significant methylomic traits, closely resembling mucinous ovarian tumors. In conclusion, our findings highlight that MCN-P and MCN-L are distinct entities in the landscape of pancreatic and hepatic tumors and show DNA methylation profile similarities with mucinous ovarian tumors, suggesting a potential common origin.
