Gene expression profile of poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma

ABSTRACT: Poorly differentiated type synovial sarcoma (PDSS) is a variant of synovial sarcoma characterized by predominantly round or short-spindled cells. Although accumulating evidence from clinicopathological studies suggests a strong association between this variant of synovial sarcoma and poor prognosis, little has been reported on the molecular basis of PDSS. To gain insight into the mechanism(s) that underlie the emergence of PDSS, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 34 synovial sarcoma clinical samples, including 5 cases of PDSS, using an oligonucleotide microarray. In an unsupervised analysis, the 34 samples fell into 3 groups that correlated highly with histological subtype, namely, monophasic, biphasic, and poorly differentiated types. PDSS was characterized by down-regulation of genes associated with neuronal and skeletal development and cell adhesion, and up-regulation of genes on a specific chromosomal locus, 8q21.11. This locus-specific transcriptional activation in PDSS was confirmed by reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR analysis of 9 additional synovial sarcoma samples. Our results indicate that PDSS tumors constitute a distinct genetic group based on expression profiles. 34 SYT-SSX fusion transcript-positive SS samples, consisting of 21 MSS, 8 BSS and 5 PDSS cases, were analyzed using an oligonucleotide microarray using a GeneChip Human Genome U133 plus 2.0 array (Affymetrix).

A novel mouse model for human synovial sarcoma expressing SS18-SSX1

Project description:SS18-SSX fusion proteins play a central role in synovial sarcoma development, however, genetic network and mechanisms of synovial sarcomagenesis remain largely unknown. To clarify such unknown mechanisms, we have established a new ex vivo mouse model for synovial sarcoma, using retrovirus-mediated gene transfer of SS18-SSX1 to mouse embryonic mesenchymal cells followed by subcutaneous transplantation into nude mice. This approach successfully induced subcutaneous tumors in 100% of recipients, showing invasive proliferation of short spindle tumor cells with occasional biphasic appearance. Cytokeratin expression was observed in epithelial components in tumors and expression of TLE1 and BCL2 was also shown. Gene expression profiling indicates modulation of the SWI/SNF pathway by introduction of SS18-SSX1 into mesenchymal cells, and upregulation of Tle1 and Atf2 in tumors. Collectively, these findings indicate the model exhibits typical phenotypes of human synovial sarcoma. Retroviral tagging of the tumor identified 15 common retroviral integration sites with the Dnm3 locus as the most frequent in 30 mouse synovial sarcomas. Up-regulation of micro RNAs miR-199a2 and miR-214 within the Dnm3 locus was observed. Co-introduction of SS18-SSX1 and miR-214 indeed accelerated sarcoma onset, indicating that miR-214 is a cooperative onco-miR in synovial sarcomagenesis. miR-214 functions in the cell non-autonomous manner, promoting cytokine gene expression such as Cxcl15/IL8. We have succeeded to generate a novel mouse model for human synovial sarcoma. As miR-214 overexpression in human synovial sarcoma was reported, our results underscore the important role of miR-214 in tumor development and disease progression. We used microarrays to detail the global program of gene expression in mouse synovial sarcoma and embryonic mesenchymal cells

Proteomic profiling of soft tissue sarcomas with SWATH mass spectrometry

Project description:In this work, we utilise sequential window acquisition of all theoretical fragment ion spectra mass spectrometry (SWATH-MS) for proteomic profiling of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens from a cohort of STS patients (n=36) across four histological subtypes (leiomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma). We quantified 2951 proteins in all cases and show that there is a significant enrichment of gene sets associated with smooth muscle contraction in leiomyosarcoma, RNA splicing regulation in synovial sarcoma and leukocyte activation in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. We further identified a subgroup of STS cases (independent of histological subtype) that have a distinct expression profile in a panel of 133 proteins, with worse survival outcomes when compared to the rest of the cohort. Our study highlights the value of comprehensive proteomic characterisation as a means to identify histotype-specific STS profiles that describe key biological pathways of clinical and therapeutic relevance; as well as for discovering new prognostic biomarkers in this group of rare and difficult-to-treat diseases.

Transcription profiling of synovial sarcoma-like tumors induced in a genetically engineered mouse model

Project description:Synovial sarcoma-like tumors were generated in mice by conditionally expressing the human t(X;18) translocation-derived SYT-SSX2 fusion protein. Using a Tamoxifen-inducible CreER system, we show here that sporadic expression of SYT-SSX2 across multiple tissue types leads to exclusive formation of synovial sarcoma-like tumors while its widespread expression is lethal. CreER-based sporadic expression both avoids the severe early developmental phenotypes associated with widespread SYT-SSX2 expression and better models natural pathogenesis of cancers where transformed cells usually arise within an environment of largely normal cells. Experiment Overall Design: Genetically engineered mice capable of conditionally expressing the human synovial sarcoma-associated SYT-SSX2 fusion oncogene were mated with genetically engineered mice expressing the CreER fusion protein from ROSA locus. The progenies harboring both CreER and SYT-SSX2 were followed up with or without tamoxifen injection. Tumors were generated in these mice that were dissected out, RNA extracted, and subjected to expression profiling by microarray analysis.

Expression following beta-catenin stabilization in synovial sarcomagenesis

Project description:Synovial sarcoma is a deadly soft-tissue malignancy with a predilection for adolescents and young adults. Mice recapitulate synovial sarcomagenesis from expression of SS18-SSX2 in certain cells. Concomitant expression of a stabilized form of beta-catenin enhances synovial sarcomagenesis and expands the potential cells of origin. Mice bearing conditional expression of SS18-SSX2 from the Rosa26 locus and conditional excision of the 3rd exon of beta-catenin, each activated in the leg by Cre-recombinase expressed from an adeno-associated viral vector, formed large tumors at brief latency.

Identification of Altered MicroRNA Expression Patterns in Synovial Sarcoma

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding small RNAs that function as an endogenous regulator of gene expression. Their dysregulation has been implicated in the development of several cancers. However, the status of miRNA in soft tissue sarcomas has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This study examined the global miRNA expression in synovial sarcoma and compared the results to those in another translocation-associated sarcoma, the Ewing family of tumors, and in normal skeletal muscle. The 3D-Gene miRNA microarray platform (Toray, Kamakura, Japan) and unsupervised hierarchical clustering revealed a distinct expression pattern of miRNAs in synovial sarcoma from Ewing tumors and skeletal muscle. Thirty-five of the more than 700 miRNAs analyzed were differentially expressed in synovial sarcomas in comparison to other tissue types. There were 21 significantly up-regulated miRNAs, including some miRNAs, such as let-7e, miR-99b and miR-125a-3p, clustered within the same chromosomal loci. Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction also demonstrated that these miRNAs were over-expressed in synovial sarcomas. The down-regulation of let-7e and miR-99b by anti-miR miRNA inhibitors resulted in the suppression of the proliferation of synovial sarcoma cells, and modulated the expression of their putative targets, HMGA2 and SMARCA5, suggesting that these molecules have a potential oncogenic role. The unique miRNA expression pattern including the over-expressed miRNA clusters in synovial sarcoma warrants further investigation in order to develop a better understanding of the oncogenic mechanisms and future therapeutic strategies for synovial sarcoma. Ten synovial sarcomas, five Ewing tumors and five normal skeletal muscle specimens are analyzed.
