Multiple chromosomal monosomies are characteristic of giant cell ependymoma

ABSTRACT: Giant cell ependymoma (GCE), a rare ependymoma subtype, was only recently recognised as a separate diagnostic entity with variations both in malignant potential and in course of disease. The pathogenetic mechanisms behind ependymomas remain unknown. Only one karyotyped GCE has so far been reported. We present the first genomic characterisation of a supratentorial GCE using G-band karyotyping, DNA ploidy analysis and array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH). The G-banded karyotype was hypodiploid with multiple monosomies, a feature present also in the previously published case and, hence, probably characteristic of these tumours. We could also analyse cytogenetically a subsequent recurrent tumour, phenotypically an anaplastic ependymoma, but exhibiting a pattern of monosomies largely similar to that found in the primary tumour, allowing a first insight into the genetic events involved also in disease progression. 2 tumour samples analysed with the control DNA (supplied by Agilent)

Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis of a Gliosarcoma with Osseous Metaplasia

Project description:Gliosarcoma, a rare glioblastoma variant, is composed of a glial and a mesenchymal component. Though the mesenchymal portion most commonly resembles a fibrosarcoma, other differentiation patterns have been observed. We present the first genomic characterisation (karyotyping followed by FISH and array-CGH analysis) of a gliosarcoma with osseous metaplasia. In addition to chromosomal changes often found in gliomas (+7,-10,-13, and -22), the tumour cells also harboured a hitherto unknown 3q21;21q21~22-translocation. As translocations are very rare in high-grade astrocytic tumours and have not formerly been seen in gliosarcomas, it is possible that the t(3;21) may be characteristic of gliosarcoma with osseous metaplasia.

Genomic Aberrations in Paediatric Gliomas and Embryonal Tumours

Project description:The pathogenesis of paediatric central nervous system tumours is still poorly understood. In an attempt to increase the knowledge of the genetic mechanisms underlying these tumours, we performed genome-wide screening of 17 paediatric gliomas and embryonal tumours using a combination of G-band karyotyping and array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH). G-banding revealed abnormal karyotypes in 56% of tumour samples (9 of 16; one failed in culture), whereas aCGH analysis found copy number aberrations in all 13 tumours that could be examined. Pilocytic astrocytomas (n=3) showed normal karyotypes or simple non-recurrent translocations by karyotyping, but revealed the now well-established recurrent gain of 7q34 by aCGH. Our series included one anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, tumours that have not previously been characterised genomically in children, and an anaplastic neuroepithelial tumour (probably an oligoastrocytoma); both tumours showed losses of chromosomes 14 by G-banding as well as structural aberrations of the long arm of chromosome 6, and loss of 14q, 17p, and 22q by aCGH. Three supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumours (n=5) showed aberrant karyotypes; two near-diploid with mainly structural changes and one near-triploid with several trisomies including gains of one copy of chromosomes 1, 2, and 7. aCGH confirmed these findings and revealed additional recurrent gains of 1q21-44, 3p21, and 3q29. We also describe cytogenetically for the first time a cribriform neuroepithelial tumour, a recently identified variant of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour with a favourable prognosis, which showed loss of 1p33, 4q13.2, 10p12.31, 10q11.22, and 22q by aCGH.

IGR_GLIOMA_STUDY_SP

Project description:Glioma study (gene expression and CGH): Brain tumours are the most common solid tumors in children and have the highest mortality rate of all solid pediatric tumours. Despite advances in multimodality therapy, children with high-grade gliomas invariably have an Overall Survival (OS) around 20% at 5 years. There is growing evidence that the biological knowledge and the histo-prognostic classifications used for the management of adult HGG may not fully apply to children. Interobserver variability and specificity of pediatric tumors with respect to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification have lead to a high rate of misclassification in multi-institutional studies. From 90 biopsies of children with HGG (High Grade Glioma), comprising 37 DIPG (Diffuse Infiltrating Pontine Glioma), 73 extracted RNA have been hybrized on Agilent 4x44K GE arrays and 71 extracted DNA have been hybrized on Agilent 44K and 4x44K CGH arrays. The dataset contains raw data files from Feature Extraction. Genomic data were jointly analysed with clinical and histological data comprising: date_of_diagnosis, date_of_last_news, WHO_grade, deceased_at_median_survival_time, deceased_at_2years, localization of the tumour in brain, gadolinium_T1_inf_T2. A specific analysis was performed on DIPG.

Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) study of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) small gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) less than 1 cm in greatest diameter (microGISTs)

Project description:To investigate the cytogenetic and large-scale chromosomal changes in involuted or non-involuted microGISTs using post-whole genome amplification (WGA) FFPE DNA materials Sixteen patients, total 19 FFPE tumor samples (block storage time 4 months to 9 years), including 16 microGISTs and 3 GISTs larger than 1 cm from the same patients harboring microGISTs. All FFPE tumor samples underwent DNA extraction and WGA (modified degenerate oligonucleotide PCR (DOP) method, provided by Sigma). For each tumor sample, a post-WGA DNA extract from the normal tissue in the same block (or block from the same patient with a block storage time differences less than 2 years) was obtained for tumor sample DNA co-hybridization. Tumor and normal areas of interest were marked and collected from 5- to 10-micron unstained or hematoxylin-stained sections by manual or laser (PixCell IITM, Arcturus Bioscience, CA, USA) microdissection. DNAs were then extracted. WGA was performed using GenomePlex® Tissue Whole Genome Amplification WGA5 kit (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA; http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/) in parallel in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. At least four independent experiments were concurrently performed per template amplification. Four separate WGA reaction products were pooled for each sample.

Transformation of the Fallopian Tube Secretory Epithelium Leads to High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer in BRCA/P53/PTEN Models

Project description:Our study presents the first genetic models of de novo high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSC) that originate in fallopian tube secretory epithelial cells and recapitulate the key genetic alterations and precursor lesions characteristic of human invasive ovarian cancer. Genomic copy number analysis, using array CGH, was performed on murine tumors in order to compare the overlap of copy number alterations between HGSC models and TCGA data. Array CGH was performed on genomic DNA isolated from murine HGSC tumors. Genomic DNA from three normal mouse fallopian tubes was pooled and used as the reference.

YAP/TAZ drives ependymoma-like tumour formation in mice

Project description:YAP1 gene fusions have been observed in a subset of paediatric ependymomas. Here we show that, ectopic expression of active nuclear YAP1 (nlsYAP5SA) in ventricular zone neural progenitor cells using conditionally-induced NEX/NeuroD6-Cre is sufficient to drive brain tumour formation in mice. Neuronal differentiation is inhibited in the hippocampus. Deletion of YAP1’s negative regulators LATS1 and LATS2 kinases in NEX-Cre lineage in double conditional knockout mice also generates similar tumours, which are rescued by deletion of YAP1 and its paralog TAZ. YAP1/TAZ-induced mouse tumours display molecular and ultrastructural characteristics of human ependymoma. RNA sequencing and quantitative proteomics of mouse tumours demonstrate similarities to YAP1-fusion induced supratentorial ependymoma. Finally, we find that transcriptional cofactor HOPX is upregulated in mouse models and in human YAP1-fusion induced ependymoma, supporting their similarity. Our results show that uncontrolled YAP1/TAZ activity in neuronal precursor cells leads to ependymoma-like tumours in mice.
