Project description:This study evaluate the methylation profile of 84 clinically sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) with associated clinical and genomic information. We identified three subgroups of PanNETs, termed T1, T2 and T3, with distinct patterns of methylation. The T1 subgroup was enriched for functional tumors and ATRX, DAXX and MEN1 wild-type genotypes. The T2 subgroup contained tumors with mutations in ATRX, DAXX and MEN1 and recurrent patterns of chromosomal losses in half of the genome with no association between regions with recurrent LOH and methylation levels. T2 tumors were larger and had lower methylation in the MGMT gene body, which showed positive correlation with gene expression. The T3 subgroup harboured mutations in MEN1 with recurrent LOH of chromosome 11, was enriched for grade G1 tumors and showed histological parameters associated with better prognosis. Our results suggest a role for methylation in both driving tumorigenesis and potentially stratifying prognosis in PanNETs. These set of normal adjacent pancreata was compared to ICGC pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour methylation. We identified CpG sites located in promoter regions with low levels of methylation (beta value <0.3) in all normal adjacent pancreata and from those selected the most variable probes with a standard deviation >0.20 of DNA methylation levels across all tumors to identify sub-groups.

Project description:Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are the most common intracranial neuroendocrine tumors. PitNETs are difficult to classify, and current recommendations include a large immunohistochemical panel to differentiate among 14 WHO-recognized categories. In this study, we analyzed 118 PitNETs to develop a clinico-molecular approach to classifying PitNETs. Comparison of clinical, immunohistochemical, and DNA methylation showed that PitNETs can be classified into distinct clinical and molecular subgroups. Unsupervised DNA methylation separated PitNETs into two major clusters. The first major cluster was composed of tumors currently labeled as gonadotrophs, which form a biologically distinct group of PitNETs characterized by clinical silence, weak hormonal expression on immunohistochemistry, and simple copy number profile. The second major cluster was composed of Corticotrophs and Pit1 lineage PitNETs, which could be further classified using DNA methylation into distinct subclusters that correspond to clinically active and silent tumors and consistent with degree of differentiation. Analysis of promoter methylation patterns correlates with lineage for corticotrophs and Pit1 lineage subtypes. However, the gonadotrophic genes do not show a distinct promoter methylation pattern in gonadotroph tumors compared to other lineages. Promoter of the NR5A1 gene, which encodes SF1, was hypermethylated across all PitNETs clinical and molecular subtypes including gonadotrophs with strong SF1 protein expression indicating alternative epigenetic regulation. These findings suggest that future classification of PitNETs may need to include DNA methylation for clinicopathological stratification.

Project description:Assessment of mesenteric fibrosis (MF) presence and severity in small-intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) remains a diagnostic challenge. To explore possible biomarkers for MF presence, a proteomic analysis was performed of the tumor and stroma compartment of primary SI-NETs and paired mesenteric metastasis.

Project description:Here we profiled ten low-grade small intestine NET (SiNET) tumor samples as well as one mixed lung tumor by single-cell or single-nuclei RNA-seq. We find that SiNETs are largely separated into two distinct subtypes, in which the neuroendocrine cells upregulate epithelial or neuronal markers, respectively. Surprisingly, in both subtypes the neuroendocrine cells are largely non-proliferative while higher proliferation is observed in multiple non-malignant cell types. Specifically, B and plasma cells are highly proliferative in the epithelial-like SiNET subtype, potentially reflecting the outcome of high Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) expression in those tumors, which may constitute a relevant target. Finally, our analysis of a mixed lung neuroendocrine tumor identifies a population of putative progenitor cells that may give rise to both neuroendocrine and non-neuroendocrine (squamous) cells, potentially explaining the origin of the mixed histology. Taken together, our results provide important insights and hypotheses regarding the biology of neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Project description:The most commonly mutated genes in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are ATRX, DAXX, and MEN1. Little is known about the cells-of-origin for non-functional neuroendocrine tumors. Here, we genotyped 64 PanNETs for mutations in ATRX, DAXX, and MEN1 and found 37 tumors (58%) carry mutations in these three genes (A-D-M mutant PanNETs) and this correlates with a worse clinical outcome than tumors carrying the wild-type alleles of all three genes (A-D-M WT PanNETs). We performed RNA sequencing and DNA-methylation analysis on 33 randomly selected cases to reveal two distinct subgroups with one group consisting entirely of A-D-M mutant PanNETs. Two biomarkers differentiating A-D-M mutant from A-D-M WT PanNETs were high ARX gene expression and low PDX1 gene expression with PDX1 promoter hyper-methylation in the A-D-M mutant PanNETs. Moreover, A-D-M mutant PanNETs had a gene expression signature related to that of alpha cells (pval < 0.009) of pancreatic islets including increased expression of HNF1A and its transcriptional target genes. This gene expression profile suggests that A-D-M mutant PanNETs originate from or transdifferentiate into a distinct cell type similar to alpha cells.
