Project description:Infinium® HumanMethylation450 BeadChip and EPIC arrays were run with the aim of using the methylation profiles (n=986 in total) for sarcoma subtype classification (Paper: Lyskjær et al, 2021, DNA methylation-based profiling of bone and soft tissue tumours: a validation study of the ‘DKFZ sarcoma Classifier’ ). 500ng of DNA from fresh frozen (FT) or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumour samples were bisulfite converted using the Zymo EZ DNA methylation Gold kit (Zymo Research Corp. Irvine, USA) before hybridisation to the Infinium HumanMethylation450 or EPIC beadchip arrays (Illumina, San Diego, CA) by UCL Genomics. All bisulfite-converted FFPE samples were restored with the Infinium FFPE DNA Restore kit (Illumina).

Project description:Illumina Infinium EPIC HumanMethylation BeadChip data from saliva DNA samples from a healthy elderly cohort with individuals in the age range 70-95 in Southwest Sweden. The cohort was stratified into study groups based on participants´answers to a questionnaire of different lifestyle factors including vitamin supplementations, smoking and drinking habits, physical activity (per year), sun exposure and eating habits. Vitamin D intake was evaluated from the vitamin D supplementation (alone or in a multivitamin complex), dietary vitamin D intake (fish and seafood frequency) and vitamin D synthesis in the skin (sunlight exposure and use of sunscreen). Differential methylation analysis was performed for all the study groups and the combination of different factors with vitamin D supplementation. Gender, age, smoking and alcohol (SD and frequency) were used as covariates in the analyses. Only the study groups referred to the conclusions of the study are shown.

Project description:Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are deadly sarcomas that lack effective therapies. In most MPNSTs, the retinoblastoma (RB1) tumor suppressor is disabled by hyperactivation of cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs), commonly through loss of CDK inhibitory proteins such as p27(Kip1). RABL6A is an inhibitor of RB1 whose role in MPNSTs is unknown. To gain insight into MPNST development and establish new treatment options, we investigated RABL6A-RB1 signaling and CDK inhibitor-based therapy in MPNSTs.

Project description:Patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develop benign plexiform neurofibromas that frequently progress to become malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs). A genetically engineered mouse model that accurately models plexiform neurofibroma-MPNST progression would facilitate the identification of somatic mutations driving this process. We have previously reported that transgenic mice overexpressing the growth factor neuregulin-1 in Schwann cells (P0-GGF?3 mice) develop MPNSTs. To determine whether P0-GGF?3 mice accurately model neurofibroma-MPNST progression, cohorts of these animals were followed to death and necropsied. 94% of the mice developed multiple neurofibromas, with 70% carrying smaller numbers of MPNSTs; nascent MPNSTs were identified within neurofibromas, suggesting that these sarcomas arise from neurofibromas. Although neurofibromin expression was maintained, P0-GGF?3 MPNSTs, like human NF1-associated MPNSTs, demonstrated Ras hyperactivation. P0-GGF?3 MPNSTs also showed abnormalities in the p16INK4A-cyclin D/CDK4-Rb and p19ARF-Mdm-p53 pathways analogous to their human counterparts. Array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) demonstrated reproducible chromosomal alterations in P0-GGF?3 MPNST cells (including universal chromosome 11 gains) and focal gains and losses affecting 39 genes previously implicated in neoplasia (e.g., Pten, Tpd52, Myc , Gli1, Xiap, Bbc3/PUMA). Array CGH also identified recurrent focal copy number variations affecting genes not previously linked to neurofibroma or MPNST pathogenesis. We conclude that P0-GGF?3 mice represent a robust model of neurofibroma-MPNST progression that can be used to identify novel genes driving neurofibroma and MPNST pathogenesis.

Project description:Background: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are soft-tissue sarcomas that can arise either sporadically or in association with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). These aggressive malignancies confer poor survival, with no effective therapy available. Methods: We generated five patient-derived MPNST orthoxenograft models (three NF1-related and two sporadic) and performed an exhaustive histological and molecular characterization of primary MPNSTs and their corresponding orthoxenografts. Finally, orthoxenografts models were used as an in vivo pre-clinical platform to test several treatment strategies. Results: MPNST orthoxenografts recapitulate the histopathological properties and preserve the genomic and transcriptomic status of their parental primary tumors. Additionally, they mimic distal dissemination properties in mice. Compatible with an origin in a catastrophic event and subsequent stabilization, MPNSTs contained highly altered genomes that remained remarkably stable in orthoxenograft establishment and along passages. Although preliminary, the results presented here point to clear differences between NF1-associated and sporadic MPNSTs. In accordance, mutation frequency in sporadic MPNSTs was an order of magnitude higher than in NF1-associated MPNSTs and unsupervised cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) using a MPNST signature perfectly divided the samples between NF1 and sporadic MPNST. Finally, different therapeutic approaches tested in the validated orthoxenograft MPNST models, reveal that sorafenib, or in combination with doxorubicin or rapamycin caused a great tumor reduction in all models. Conclusion: The development of a well-characterized and standardized preclinical model for MPNSTs has laid the foundations for evaluating novel therapeutic strategies in the clinical setting. Moreover, results obtained strongly support the clinical evaluation of Sorafenib in this subset of patients. Primary MPNSTs were implanted in the sciatic nerve of nude mices to create orthoxenograft MPNST models. Several orthoxenograft passages were created. The primary tumor (when available) and passages 1 and 4 were selected for gene expression profiling to demonstrate that the orthoxenografts closely resemble their primary tumors and are stable along xenograft passages.
